BMC AMI Ops vs. IBM OMEGAMON

You can track CICS task, take actions on them if some are hang or looping. You can go to the past because activity is recorded ans all metrics are available later. You can do correlation between CICS/Db2/MQ when you have CICS transactions doing access to these domains. You can set thresholds or alarms on some metrics to take actions or be alerted when exceeded.

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.

• After installing BMC AMI Ops we have got real-time monitoring and alerts during any system issues
• The system is mainly automated and helps in reducing work load and human errors
• Due to high workload we have faced slow system responses but this tool helped in optimising the performance and allocate the system resources better

• reliability
• strength
• effectiveness

• 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

• it itself consumes cpu
• the interface is not user-friendly
• every release migration is a surprise

The platform provides strong real-time visibility and also a centralized monitoring system for our company happilo it's dashboard is quite informative and useful for enterprise operations, according to my experience. Modern obervability and automation features need occupational efficiency also the interface is much modern then traditional mainframe tools according to my experience

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.

• Negative: Not effective use of archive data for historical displays, it takes much time and hangs.
• Negative: The installation method through the installer is not friendly.
• Positive: CICS issues can be identified, diagnosed and fixed promptly.
• Negative: Applying passcodes is more difficult than desired.
