"The report writer in TMON is a very good add-on for batch reports which weren't available in OmegaMon/CICS."
"It's very flexible. You can customize what you need to, which is good. For example, you can do your own coding inside the tool, make your own scripting tooling."
"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."
"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."
"The follow-up surprised me. Making sure that I am happy with what I have gone to them on. They will call after I have made changes and verify that I am happy with the changes that I did have to make. If it did not fix the complete problem, they go back over it until I am satisfied."
"If something breaks and it goes down when it's not supposed to, automation brings it right back up."
"It alerts the operators when it is time to repair the communications and the IPLs."
"Because we can define complex commands, the training of new operators is quicker. We can also put checks in place, that will prevent user errors."
"It is an easy product to use and it is stable."
"We're like it to be possible to move some more workload to our ZIIP processors to save us some billing for general workload."
"The GUI interface could be improved, but that is coming. They are working on that."
"The interfaces to USS, CA UIM could be better. CA Common Services interfaces - namely Zdata Mover, Zmessage Service, Zdatacolletcor - are poorly documented."
"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."
"Scalability is zero. It cannot be scaled because of its age."
"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."
"It definitely needs more web-based interface, to be more mobile-open. More APIs, more open source to it."
"The reason sometimes it is not stable, we do not have the expertise to write the script."
