Axway Sentinel vs ISC Software eSMF comparison

Axway Sentinel delivers the real-time visibility that enables IT managers to manage SLAs, ensure regulatory compliance and avoid losses and penalties that can run into the hundreds of millions of dollars.

Sentinel is event-driven, and has the ability to correlate events from both Axway and third-party applications and systems. Sentinel enables you to easily create intuitive dashboards that can be displayed as a web page or on a mobile device, giving your business managers and IT staff clear visibility into all data flows — including file transfers, B2B transactions, web services and APIs — in one central location.

By extracting, sorting and merging relevant SMF records into logical job groupings, eSMF provides a simple yet complete way of tracking all z/OS-executed processes. The software identifies every step performed during every production run, then collects this data and consolidates it into a clear, detailed and publishable format. The solution's archiving capabilities make it practical to store years of SMF records.

eSMF's dashboards provide analytics, and show performance trends. The solution provides all the mission-critical information that matters, organised in the format that is most useful to your users.
