The IBM OMEGAMON product family for IBM Z mainframe and middleware subsystems presents a mainframe monitoring solution, a suite of products used to monitor and manage sophisticated mainframe applications and environments. The OMEGAMON products share a common technology, Tivoli® Management Services on z/OS®.
I think BMC AMI Ops is better than OMEGAMON in all aspects, but Sysview is a good competitor. Sysview is easy to use and responds quickly. The decision to use one or other product has been more financial and administrative than technical.
It is suitable when you are ready to spend a little extra for extra security, a better alerting system, and overall a system that can evaluate possible failures, make better predictions, and communicate in a timely manner. It is a great option for AI-based monitoring of systems and alerting in case of issues.
Certainly, the tool is useful for debugging applications and for real-time monitoring. It's a bit less useful, not to say useless when applications are client servers. We have used it heavily above all to optimize the DB/2 applications. We managed to reduce the need for additional MIPS year by year.
Some of the data in java (or web) is presented in what looks like the original ISPF panels. Functional, but not pretty. Keep the same info but make it more presentable
More online help on field. Or expanded help
perhaps an option for fewer screens for novice users
UI and UX are interesting, to say the least. It could be more user-friendly and better-looking, but it is good overall. The training to use the tool could take some time, as the UI isn't that user-friendly and takes time to understand. But it works overall.
BMC AMI Cloud and Data provides a data resiliency solution for the cloud. It is for customers looking to 1. backup their decades-worth of data stored in physical or virtual tapes to Cloud storage (AWS S3), 2. perform analytics and business intelligence to run targeted customers or campaigns on mainframe data now available in the cloud, and 3. use the data as backup/ restore copies in the event of a disaster.
Naturally, during the software selection, other tools from other similar vendors were compared as functionalities. more benchmarks have been made to control the Omegamon overhead on applications. certainly, it has influenced the fact that the mainframe base software is IBM and Omegamon is IBM so the compatibility problems are automatically solved.
