Find out in this report how the two Event Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of this solution is the efficiency."
"Valuable features include: SSM, which provides for orderly startup and shutdown; OPSLOG, which enables filtering by message-id, and/or jobname(s); Rules, as OPS/REXX interface streamlines deployment, interfaces easily with JES2 and z/OS."
"Stability is probably the best out-of-the-box. Put it in, set it up, and you leave it alone. It works wonderfully."
"It is an easy product to use and it is stable."
"With the automation pieces we can bring this region up or take this region down, and it allows us to always meet our time critical requirements."
"OPS/REXX is valuable because it allows us almost unlimited flexibility in automating our system."
"It's very secure, because it's a legacy application."
"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."
"It allows us to respond faster to issues. If there are issues that come out, we're able to capture a message and alert somebody about it."
"This application should be made easier to use because it usually needs training and it is not easy to operate."
"Scalability is zero. It cannot be scaled because of its age."
"The GUI interface could be improved, but that is coming. They are working on that."
"It’s a complex product. The initial installation is easy, but implementing various functions is a constant process."
"Performing a stop/restart of OPS/MVS could be a little smoother. Without special coding, some undesired tasks will be started and some necessary tasks will be stopped if we have to bounce OPS/MVS during the day."
"Because of its age, it's a little bit difficult to modernize some of the integrations and some of the functions."
"The further expansion of the mainframe teamcenter interface. Also, the web services support is something that I am looking into."
"The reason sometimes it is not stable, we do not have the expertise to write the script."
"It definitely needs more web-based interface, to be more mobile-open. More APIs, more open source to it."
