Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Nastel AutoPilot was the key game-changer for my clients and the agency I work for, it's my super-digital solution when it comes to application performance management/monitoring, 80% of the startups underestimate the importance of fraud detection and regulatory compliance tooling, and as soon as they go live into the market it becomes their worst nightmares, and that's what I handled and achieved for businesses in the banking, insurance and lending companies using Nastel AutoPilot, especially the new digital-only money lending start-ups and the Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) start-ups, but thanks to Nastel for this AutoPilot to enable us to react rapidly to any critical issue the company is facing, and as soon as it's implemented with the WebSphere MQ, the auto-discovery goes on to collect all the needed-for-analysis data to detect issues and provide us with faster/accurate listeners, Repository managers. Dead letter queues, Pubsub brokers. Qdepth and APM of OPPROCS AND IPPROCS, and this is what a business needs to fight fraud and prevent any lost revenue that was caused by poor performance.

Pros and Cons

Its ability to detect and correct IBM MQ issues before they effect the production.
performance trends and statistics in real-time.
Rapid and accurate monitoring of Command Servers, Dead Letter Queues, Queue Managers, Qdepth and Listeners.
Built-in complex event processing to gain valuable visibility into order fulfillment processes

The UI needs a lot of improvements to meet today's standards while keeping the functional part highly performing as it used to be
Being unable to run reports through the workgroup security manager is a serious con, I think they need to consider giving it more attention
the auto-monitoring feature performance goes low when it's enabled during a heavy workloads, it leads to a lower/heavier performance, but during the latest update I feel it got lighter somehow.
They also need to give more attention to the encryption and enhance it with the latest encryption technologies

Return on Investment

A reduction in point of sale abandonment by 70% reflects the change in mindset of customers who are no longer irritated by price anomalies.
The company was able to merge many unnecessary servers due to thousands of useless queues it had, resulting in yearly savings of more than $250,000
improved efficiency and cost-savings by 80% within the first 2 months
