We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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."

More BMC MainView Pros →

"It's stable enough. I haven't noticed any problems since it was installed."

More IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON Pros →

"It reduces the number of repetitive motions required by a human to respond to the system.""I do not have to keep recordings. It is there and is proactive. It helps the operators, human editors, and me.""It's very secure, because it's a legacy application.""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.""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.""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.""​It is an easy product to use and it is stable.""​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."

Cons
"An expansion for distributed systems would be great, but probably not workable.""More visualisation and support for mobile devices would be good."

More BMC MainView Cons →

"We can't see the percentages to see the percentages of the CPU utilized. We should be able to see how much was used by our part of the system. Now, we have to continuously recalculate that information."

More IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON Cons →

"The reason sometimes it is not stable, we do not have the expertise to write the script.​""Because of its age, it's a little bit difficult to modernize some of the integrations and some of the functions.""The GUI interface could be improved, but that is coming. They are working on that.""One thing that comes to mind is the MQ interface. The last time we tried to use it, it seemed a little clunky.""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.""The interfaces to USS, CA UIM could be better. CA Common Services interfaces - namely Zdata Mover, Zmessage Service, Zdatacolletcor - are poorly documented.""Some of the command sequences are too long.""The further expansion of the mainframe teamcenter interface. Also, the web services support is something that I am looking into."

    Overview

    To keep your business running smoothly, you need mainframe management that does more than just monitor and display. BMC MainView gives you the power to diagnose problems, minimize risk, and cut costs.

    • Lower costs with more efficient monitoring.
    • Find and fix problems early to prevent costly outages and slowdowns.
    • Improve availability and productivity by automating and simplifying performance tasks.
    • Streamline application performance tuning using BMC's seamless integration with Compuware Strobe.

    IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON Performance Management Suite for z/OS is designed to provide real-time and historical performance and availability management. It offers these capabilities for IBM z/OS operating system, networks, storage subsystems, Java runtimes, IBM DB2, IBM CICS, IBM IMS, IBM MQ for z/OS and IBM WebSphere Application Server for z/OS in a single package. Optimize the efficiency and effectiveness of managing z/OS environments with a powerful, integrated tool set.

    OMEGAMON Performance Management Suite for z/OS is available as part of IBM Service Management Suite for z/OS. IBM Service Management Suite for z/OS includes IBM Service Management Unite—a service management dashboard that brings mainframe management information and tasks from disparate sources into a single environment.

    z/OS, its subsystems, databases, middleware, applications, and software generate thousands of event messages daily. IT professionals need a tool to filter, prioritize, and respond quickly to these events before they impact availability and threaten business processing and associated service level agreements. CA OPS/MVS EMA automates processes, enabling you to resolve problems as they arise. It also automates more routine tasks, simplifying IT management and operations.
