Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, ServiceNow, Microsoft and others in Event Monitoring."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."
"I can and interrupt what's going on, bring a job down if I need to, and bring it back up."
"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."
"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 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."
"OPS/REXX is valuable because it allows us almost unlimited flexibility in automating our system."
"We have implemented two-factor authentication, which is a new piece of CA Top Secret."
"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."
"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."
"Scalability is zero. It cannot be scaled because of its age."
"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."
"The user interface could be improved. Sometimes, it is not simple to understand where a certain definition should be defined, and I go through a number of screens until I find where to do some of them."
"It would be helpful if they removed limitations on user record sizes."
"Make sure that there is a post-sale department in your country. We have experienced some post-sale problems to do with integration of CA products into our systems."
