Overall Satisfaction with IntelliMagic Vision for z/OS

We use it for capacity planning and general knowledge about our systems; how they're running, common issues, how we can improve performance, etc. So far IntelliMagic has [been] very helpful when it comes to see[ing] long term trends and new problems we are starting to see as a result of growth. The ability to dive deep into the graphs is something that is provided only by IntelliMagic, no other monitoring software, real-time or not, has that ability.
  • Deep Dive
  • Long Term Trends
  • Potential Issues and Current Issues with zOS
  • Real Time/Near Real Time Data Ingestion/Processing
  • Long Term Trends
  • Deep Dive into the Data
  • Positive but I can't provide any hard numbers
Elasticsearch simply cannot handle the amount of data that zOS sends. It also cannot store the long term data. Splunk works fine, but for some reason we only use it for very specific data so I can't compare it to IntelliMagic. However, Splunk likely wouldn't be good for historical data because that's not what it was designed for.

The only reason I give it a 9 vs a 10 is because of the near-real time data processing. Other than that, IntelliMagic is very critical to our success as a team. If we don't have those graphs showing us systems trends and problems, we can['t] plan ahead for the future.
