"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."
"I do not have to keep recordings. It is there and is proactive. It helps the operators, human editors, and me."
"The performance of it is beyond exceptional. It is probably one of the best products that I have ever worked with. It is easy to use, comprehensive, and can perform almost any task you need it to."
"It's a very stable product. I very much like the SSM stuff in it. The rules engine, it's awesome."
"It's very secure, because it's a legacy application."

"Because of its age, it's a little bit difficult to modernize some of the integrations and some of the functions."
"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."
"It’s a complex product. The initial installation is easy, but implementing various functions is a constant process."
"One thing that comes to mind is the MQ interface. The last time we tried to use it, it seemed a little clunky."

"Scalability is zero. It cannot be scaled because of its age."

"It would be a much better product if Microsoft provided management packs with the product."
