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.

Real-time monitoring has improved incident response but still needs built-in history and prediction
A long-term performance database in SYSVIEW Performance Intelligence would be beneficial to see historical performance for the long term and observe trends. Currently, a program must be created to gather data, and it should be part of the product with a built-in database inside SYSVIEW Performance Intelligence so that a custom program to gather data and keep it somewhere is not necessary. Prediction capability is not available in SYSVIEW Performance Intelligence—the kind of machine learning intelligence desired, such as the ability to predict patterns or seasonality or month-end behavior. However, if there is a chance to use WatchTower, this ability might be gained.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It works, and as far as the scheduling piece, it is wonderfully well-written and I use it all the time."
"It's very flexible. You can customize what you need to, which is good. For example, you can do your own coding inside the tool, make your own scripting tooling."
"We have eliminated human error in the startup of one of our most critical applications, thereby reducing the risk of unwanted downtime."
"It's definitely a very stable product."
"Compared to the products on the market, it is hands down the best one."
"We used to us an IBM product, but OPS/MVS has a lot more flexibility in what we can do with it."
"​The service has been wonderful. I like the people that I have had to deal with. The process is very straightforward. I call or use the website."
"Because we can define complex commands, the training of new operators is quicker. We can also put checks in place, that will prevent user errors."
"The scalability is absolutely fine."
"We have never had any issues with stability; the product runs without any problems and, on the rare occasion that there is a problem, the recovery is really good, so there was never an outage of SYSVIEW at all."
"We used SYSVIEW to replace CA-LOOK, SAS, MAINVIEW, and could also be used to replace SDSF."
"Customer Service: Excellent. No problem with asking How-To questions."
"We find the predictive analytics to be the most valuable feature."
"Being able to see and to have oversight of everything that happens on the job is critical, and this is what we get with SYSVIEW."
"The transaction troubleshooting for the applications is the product’s most valuable feature, giving the opportunity for those applications to be able to see what's wrong with a transaction and make corrections, giving them the information readily accessible."
"Between the tech support and the person I was working with, they have been extraordinary."
 

Cons

"The interfaces to USS, CA UIM could be better."
"It needs to have more compatibility/interfaces to other vendors’ products."
"The new release addressed some shortcomings of the product."
"My impressions on OPS_MVS Automation Intelligence is that it's quite difficult to use, as it relies mainly on the coding syntax and doesn't provide an easy-to-use GUI."
"The only issue we have is when we try to integrate with common services."
"One thing that comes to mind is the MQ interface. The last time we tried to use it, it seemed a little clunky."
"There are, however, still some restrictions with sysplex vars as far as which kinds of rules you can use them in, which is also the case for OPSHFI vars."
"Some of the command sequences are too long."
"The screen layout could be updated and be more modern looking. The product has a 1980’s interface and it seems no investment whatsoever has been made in this respect."
"Sometimes you think they should be a little bit faster to solve the issues, but it is also difficult sometimes to duplicate what the issue is."
"As for the JES2 component of the product, CA might improve the overall performance when accessing the JES2 spool."
"Initial setup was complex."
"The creation of dashboards could be made much easier, such as the way it is done in BMCs MainView for example."
"We would like to see better graphics in the next version, so that even less experienced individuals can find problems without much effort."
"Perhaps the IMS monitoring part could be improved (at least according IMS specialists)."
"I would like to see better web browser support that display views, reports, and graphs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Pricing is a little steep, but there are a lot of other functions that it brings together. It gives you one window to look through to get to a lot of different features. The more products you have from CA, the better pricing they have, the more you can get them doing more things for you."
