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

"Once automatic IPL has been defined, anyone can perform an IPL with very little intervention. We know that all of the components will be started correctly."
"The technical support is top notch; they have always been right there for us whenever we were needed, including the offer to be available on weekends during a recent upgrade if needed, and they are friendly, professional, and knowledgeable."
"OPSMVS has made it possible to run our IT systems with fewer staff, due to the level of automation that we are able to use."
"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 went with the best automation solution available."
"For what it was produced for, it's an excellent product; it's done everything that we wanted to do with the product and more, which has been a really big help for us."
"The benefit is that the ROI, since it's 35 years old, is coming back over and over and over."
"I do not have to keep recordings. It is there and is proactive. It helps the operators, human editors, and me."
"This is probably their best product; I look at this product and I think it is the best in their fleet."
"Between the tech support and the person I was working with, they have been extraordinary."
"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."
"Using SYSVIEW means we have to bug our tech support a lot less."
"Customer Service: Excellent. No problem with asking How-To questions."
"Ability for system diagnostics"
"We find the predictive analytics to be the most valuable feature."
"We have not had any major issues in approximately 15 years."
 

Cons

"One thing that comes to mind is the MQ interface. The last time we tried to use it, it seemed a little clunky."
"We're missing the boat. We don't have a graphical display and we need something beyond just pretty PC pictures for the other departments."
"The new release addressed some shortcomings of the product."
"One of the things we've been wanting to do is to be able to automate off of different highlighted messages without actually knowing what the message is."
"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 further expansion of the mainframe teamcenter interface. Also, the web services support is something that I am looking into."
"I think some of their built-in functions are short on functionality."
"The interfaces to USS, CA UIM could be better. CA Common Services interfaces - namely Zdata Mover, Zmessage Service, Zdatacolletcor - are poorly documented."
"I think really in the line of IMS and what it can provide needs to be expanded a little bit for some of our purposes."
"If a unit of work ID is associated with a CICS, a DB2, and a MQ transaction, and having that capability correlate to those different technologies via one business application transaction which would be beneficial."
"When making that call to technical support, the triage is sometimes a little rough to get you to someone who will effectively help you."
"It takes a couple of prods once in a while to get technical support going."
"I would like to see better web browser support that display views, reports, and graphs."
"The documentation, like installation guides and stuff, put it all in one place.​"
"The documentation format could be better. I noticed with the last release that all of the manuals were bundled into one. It used to have a separate installation guide, user guide, etc."
"Having spoken with the product owner, we discussed the interests of being able to identify the unit of work ID giving us the ability to correlate transactions that cross technologies."
 

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."
