Roland Schiradin - PeerSpot reviewer
CICS Sysprog DB2-Admin at ITZ
Easy to install and use with good support and
It's too early to say what improvements are needed, but I can only say we are happy with our decision to move to TMON. We haven't looked at the graphic tools so far, but they're on our to-do list for this year. We will see what happens after the move to Rocket Software. We haven't seen any missing information about our daily work and analysis of our production systems and applications. We're like it to be possible to move some more workload to our ZIIP processors to save us some billing for general workload.

Real-time monitoring has improved incident response but still needs built-in history and prediction
A long-term performance database in SYSVIEW Performance Intelligence would be beneficial to see historical performance for the long term and observe trends. Currently, a program must be created to gather data, and it should be part of the product with a built-in database inside SYSVIEW Performance Intelligence so that a custom program to gather data and keep it somewhere is not necessary. Prediction capability is not available in SYSVIEW Performance Intelligence—the kind of machine learning intelligence desired, such as the ability to predict patterns or seasonality or month-end behavior. However, if there is a chance to use WatchTower, this ability might be gained.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The report writer in TMON is a very good add-on for batch reports which weren't available in OmegaMon/CICS."
"Technical support has very good, kind people; they are available and prepared."
"We were using SDS from IBM; we switched because SYSVIEW is a better product."
"Several times it saved us tens of thousands of Euros by tremendously reducing the time necessary to solve a severe operating system problem."
"Technical support is very skilled and helpful."
"Thresholds with alerts are valuable, enabling us to fix a problem before it has an impact."
"It is a good product for mainframe management."
"I use most of the SMS space management extensively, but also the features that enable me to look at dumps and different dataset allocations to the system, and performance data from the queueing and delays."
"It is a very powerful and reliable tool with a relatively easy to follow interface."
 

Cons

"We're like it to be possible to move some more workload to our ZIIP processors to save us some billing for general workload."
"Sometimes you think they should be a little bit faster to solve the issues, but it is also difficult sometimes to duplicate what the issue is."
"They are already working on improvements. One of them is the operational intelligence, which is a lot of stuff I am trying to learn and work on right now, which SYSVIEW reports to that all the system things which are going on."
"The documentation format could be better. I noticed with the last release that all of the manuals were bundled into one. It used to have a separate installation guide, user guide, etc."
"It takes a couple of prods once in a while to get technical support going."
"It needs better documentation explaining the different possibilities of what you can do with the product."
"The screen layout could be updated and be more modern looking. The product has a 1980’s interface and it seems no investment whatsoever has been made in this respect."
"It is a complex system, though, as every view has a different setting panel. This can be overwhelming for someone coming in, but once you get a grasp of it, it gets easier."
"When making that call to technical support, the triage is sometimes a little rough to get you to someone who will effectively help you."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Pricing is a little steep, but there are a lot of other functions that it brings together. It gives you one window to look through to get to a lot of different features. The more products you have from CA, the better pricing they have, the more you can get them doing more things for you."
