SYSVIEW Performance Intelligence Reviews

We find the predictive analytics to be the most valuable feature. We are using this a lot with CA Workload Automation iDASH and it is really making a difference for everyone involved.

I wouldn't say that it's improved the way we function, but that doesn’t mean it won’t and we really feel that so far it’s working well.

It's a complex solution, but we haven’t run into issues yet. I have heard of issues from others, but we haven’t seen them. Then again, we are not yet using cross-instance job dependencies in Workload Automation, so we're not sure whether there may be an issue there.

It seems stable enough at this stage, but we haven’t unleashed it fully yet. It seems like it will do well.

It is totally scalable. If it wasn’t, we wouldn’t use it. Scalability is an essential requirement.

Technical support is knowledgeable and has improved greatly over the years as previously it wasn’t great. When we open even low-priority cases, they respond quickly.

We originally wanted to use JAWS, but we figured eventually that we would go with CA because of what they had to offer.

Initial setup was complex.

We compared it with JAWS. We chose CA because it just had everything we needed.

Have a good service contract. We can call on their engineers to come as we paid for a certain amount of time and you need someone to show you.

SYSVIEW has numerous uses. There are so many different things:

• CICS transactions
• CPU utilizations
• TSO users.

It performs exactly as we have it customized. We have never had a problem with it. It is always well-maintained and it does everything we ask for it to do.

It is easy to navigate through. It has a lot of features and functions to it, so people can do their jobs. 

I never had a problem with it whatsoever. It is 100% always up.

I have never had a problem with it.

Same as always with CA. They are on top of things. I have never had an issue.

It was straightforward. There is really no additional customization from one version to the next. It is really easy. It is not a very difficult product to install and customize. 

I do the installation and the customization of it. I also maintain it and keep it up-to-date.

SYSVIEW has everything you need.

A lot of what I use it for is compiling and debugging, and I think it’s beautiful. It lets me know what went wrong with jobs that I've run for testing.

Using SYSVIEW means we have to bug our tech support a lot less. It lets us see what’s running, what conflict we have in jobs, and where we don’t have to bother.

Any functionality that I thought it could improve on is in the most recent release. It is a complex system, though, as every view has a different setting panel. This can be overwhelming for someone coming in, but once you get a grasp of it, it gets easier.

We've had no issues with deployment.

We have never had any trouble with stability.

We've had no trouble with scalability.

Technical support has been very helpful. But the community of users has been particularly helful. Someone even helped me ASAP, which was huge.

The initial setup was complex, as this is a complex system. Each view has its own settings panel, which can be overwhelming.

You should have at least have one person who is up to date with the current release. This can help a lot with setting up the solution and implementation. I also recommend to work hard on becoming familiar with this product, as it is complicated at times.
