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.

Chose BMC AMI Ops
It is only supported on VMWare and less entirely on a solution for traditional capacity planning. There was more of a strain on VMware in terms of cost and comfort level in ramping up with the solution, which was why we selected BMC AMI Ops.

We use IBM's resource measurement facility in the past. Compared to that the BMC is more user friendly and has more feature set

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.

Pros
  • 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

Cons
  • 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

Usability
The software is definitely powerful but it is complex at the same time although it has good functionality and real time insights which provide us good information regarding mainframe systems to our team but at the same time it is not intuitive and clean as modern cloud monitoring platforms also too many options and layers impacts the overall usability of software
