BMC AMI Data for Db2

Overall Satisfaction with BMC AMI Data

We use BMC AMI Data to get real-time visibility into mainframe data activity, performance, and integrity across critical systems. It addresses business problems like blind spots in data access, slow root-cause analysis, and the risk of performance degradation in high-volume environments. The scope of our use case spans monitoring, auditing, and optimizing data usage at scale, helping ensure reliability, compliance, and faster decision-making for core business operations that depend on mainframe workloads.

Pros

  • Improved operational visibility across mainframe workloads.
  • Optimized performance and reduced costs.
  • Increased system reliability and uptime.

Cons

  • Steep learning curve.
  • Faster problem resolution and reduced downtime.
  • Improved resource efficiency and lower mainframe operating costs.
  • Increased operational confidence and better decision-making.
  • Optimized batch processing and dataset access, improving performance and report delivery.
  • Reduced manual effort, freeing staff for strategic initiatives.
BMC AMI Data is powerful and feature-rich, but its usability can be challenging, especially for new users. Navigating dashboards, setting up custom reports, and interpreting complex data relationships require a steep learning curve. Once mastered, it delivers exceptional insight, but the initial setup and ongoing use can feel cumbersome compared with more modern, intuitive interfaces.
