"Enabled me to solve production problems faster or even avoid them preemptively with warnings."
"The integration of IMS commands is very useful, because you do not have to switch to another tool to problem solve solutions."
"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."
"It reduces the number of repetitive motions required by a human to respond to the system."
"OPS/REXX is valuable because it allows us almost unlimited flexibility in automating our system."
"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's a very stable product. I very much like the SSM stuff in it. The rules engine, it's awesome."
"The service has been wonderful. I like the people that I have had to deal with. The process is very straightforward. I call or use the website."
"It's very secure, because it's a legacy application."
"I can and interrupt what's going on, bring a job down if I need to, and bring it back up."
"An expansion for distributed systems would be great, but probably not workable."
"More visualisation and support for mobile devices would be good."
"One thing that comes to mind is the MQ interface. The last time we tried to use it, it seemed a little clunky."
"Because of its age, it's a little bit difficult to modernize some of the integrations and some of the functions."
"It’s a complex product. The initial installation is easy, but implementing various functions is a constant process."
"The GUI interface could be improved, but that is coming. They are working on that."
"Scalability is zero. It cannot be scaled because of its age."
"The reason sometimes it is not stable, we do not have the expertise to write the script."
"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."
