Good stability but it is lacking the ability to see historical information

We can only see online information but there isn't any historical data to see something that happened a few hours previous. We don't have the ability to access that information. Previously, with MainView, we could look back at information from two days before and get information. We could easily get information from Plexus. Now, we don't have a single screen to check which has been annoying. Compared to MainView, Tivoli is rubbish. We are forced to use this solution. We couldn't stay with MainView. I would like for it to be easier to check the system performance. It should have the ability to see historical data. We can't see the percentages to see the percentages of the CPU utilized. We should be able to see how much was used by our part of the system. Now, we have to continuously recalculate that information.

Automation has improved alerts and file handling but script-based setup still needs simplification

OPS_MVS Automation Intelligence is the automation tool I use. I think OPS_MVS Automation Intelligence is good for creating complex rules because it's coding, but it takes time to learn how to use it. OPS_MVS Automation Intelligence works well if you know the syntax very well and you have experience in creating scripts or REXX syntax; it would be very good and is a good tool, but it takes time to learn, so that is for experienced staff to work with. I would rate the product a six from one to ten. I cannot think of any additional features in the next release of OPS_MVS Automation Intelligence.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It's stable enough. I haven't noticed any problems since it was installed."

"It reduces the number of repetitive motions required by a human to respond to the system."

"The performance of it is beyond exceptional. It is probably one of the best products that I have ever worked with. It is easy to use, comprehensive, and can perform almost any task you need it to."

"Compared to the products on the market, it is hands down the best one."

"OPS/MVS is doing things more efficiently than a person would do; they may make mistakes; finger checks here."

"It’s invaluable for expediting the shutdowns/IPLs of our z/OS LPARs and monitoring our z/OS LPARs for issues/problems."

"With the automation pieces we can bring this region up or take this region down, and it allows us to always meet our time critical requirements."

"We used to us an IBM product, but OPS/MVS has a lot more flexibility in what we can do with it."

"The effectiveness and stability of the solution is something that we require and something that this solution delivers."

Cons

"We can't see the percentages to see the percentages of the CPU utilized. We should be able to see how much was used by our part of the system. Now, we have to continuously recalculate that information."

"Because of its age, it's a little bit difficult to modernize some of the integrations and some of the functions."

"I've seen a mobile app that allows you to get the system status from your phone. That's a really nice feature that I’d like to see."

"It definitely needs more web-based interface, to be more mobile-open. More APIs, more open source to it."

"One thing that comes to mind is the MQ interface. The last time we tried to use it, it seemed a little clunky."

"I think, for me, I’d like to see more of its web base."

"The reason sometimes it is not stable, we do not have the expertise to write the script."

"Performing a stop/restart of OPS/MVS could be a little smoother. Without special coding, some undesired tasks will be started and some necessary tasks will be stopped if we have to bounce OPS/MVS during the day."

"The GUI interface could be improved, but that is coming. They are working on that."

What needs improvement with OPS/MVS Automation Intelligence?
