"The integration of IMS commands is very useful, because you do not have to switch to another tool to problem solve solutions."
"Enabled me to solve production problems faster or even avoid them preemptively with warnings."
"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."
"Stability is probably the best out-of-the-box. Put it in, set it up, and you leave it alone. It works wonderfully."
"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."
"I do not have to keep recordings. It is there and is proactive. It helps the operators, human editors, and me."
"OPS/REXX is valuable because it allows us almost unlimited flexibility in automating our system."
"I can and interrupt what's going on, bring a job down if I need to, and bring it back up."
"The documentation is simple, easy to follow, and use. A limited, first-time systems programmer can do it, in that it is out-of-the-box almost functional."
"Their technical support is incredible, immediately responsive, and even if it is not updated to Level 2 support sometimes, they chip in providing more detailed answers and options to fix the problem."
"An expansion for distributed systems would be great, but probably not workable."
"More visualisation and support for mobile devices would be good."
"The reason sometimes it is not stable, we do not have the expertise to write the script."
"The further expansion of the mainframe teamcenter interface. Also, the web services support is something that I am looking into."
"One thing that comes to mind is the MQ interface. The last time we tried to use it, it seemed a little clunky."
"Because of its age, it's a little bit difficult to modernize some of the integrations and some of the functions."
"The interfaces to USS, CA UIM could be better. CA Common Services interfaces - namely Zdata Mover, Zmessage Service, Zdatacolletcor - are poorly documented."
"Scalability is zero. It cannot be scaled because of its age."
"Some of the command sequences are too long."
"It definitely needs more web-based interface, to be more mobile-open. More APIs, more open source to it."
