We performed a comparison between IBM Tivoli Business Service Manager and OPS/MVS Automation Intelligence based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Event Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the efficiency."
"I do not have to keep recordings. It is there and is proactive. It helps the operators, human editors, and me."
"Because we can define complex commands, the training of new operators is quicker. We can also put checks in place, that will prevent user errors."
"If something breaks and it goes down when it's not supposed to, automation brings it right back up."
"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."
"Valuable features include: SSM, which provides for orderly startup and shutdown; OPSLOG, which enables filtering by message-id, and/or jobname(s); Rules, as OPS/REXX interface streamlines deployment, interfaces easily with JES2 and z/OS."
"Stability is probably the best out-of-the-box. Put it in, set it up, and you leave it alone. It works wonderfully."
"I can and interrupt what's going on, bring a job down if I need to, and bring it back up."
"OPS/REXX is valuable because it allows us almost unlimited flexibility in automating our system."
"This application should be made easier to use because it usually needs training and it is not easy to operate."
"Some of the command sequences are too long."
"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."
"Scalability is zero. It cannot be scaled because of its age."
"One thing that comes to mind is the MQ interface. The last time we tried to use it, it seemed a little clunky."
"The GUI interface could be improved, but that is coming. They are working on that."
"It’s a complex product. The initial installation is easy, but implementing various functions is a constant process."
"The reason sometimes it is not stable, we do not have the expertise to write the script."
