Pros
"The solution is great at being able to fetch almost any kind of file.""It is easy to integrate with other models such as Oracle, other systems, external systems, and to reach events.""The most valuable feature that comes with Netcool/Impact is the ISPF APA support. It is inherent to Netcool/Impact, so I can use the ISPF of any other product, which I can invoke and consume through Impact, and do integrations, which is great. I run the Netcool desktop application so I can integrate with other applications in the ticketing system. It's a great ability being able to invoke ISPF and integrate.""This product allows us to make use of open-source products, including running Java code."

Cons
"For improvement, I'd say the dashboard and the overall GUI could use some work. Although, I don't think that there's much improvement that Netcool really needs to achieve in this area, because when we're talking GUI, Impact is able to integrate with any third-party system and it comes with ISPF APA. It's more beneficial than Netcool/OMNIbus in this respect, and it's quite easy to handle.""IBM is not investing in the development of the on-premise version of this solution.""Stability-wise, this product needs to be improved.""The solution is somewhat complicated. It's not exactly straightforward."

More IBM Tivoli NetCool Impact Cons →

"From a performance perspective, it needs to improve a lot.""One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks.""The product's reporting functionalities have certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required.""We want to understand: how does the back end work? What if some problem occurs? What we can do? They need to provide more information.""They should improve their support process and add chat.""The product is not user-friendly.""There are often bugs in new releases.""The product must educate its strategic partners for deployment."
