The most valuable feature for my team is the ability to taken event feeds from all/any source tool and put them in a single pane of glass. It's being replaced for our work by another Tivoli tool.
My team discontinued use of TBSM and moved to its replacement DASH, in early 2017.  Although we still rely on it as our fail-over/back-up Event Presentation console, we have moved to another vendor product that provide Event Analysis and Incident Isolation via automation Being able to manage the…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the efficiency."
"Their technical support is incredible, immediately responsive, and even if it is not updated to Level 2 support sometimes, they chip in providing more detailed answers and options to fix the problem."
"It allows us to respond faster to issues. If there are issues that come out, we're able to capture a message and alert somebody about it."
"I can and interrupt what's going on, bring a job down if I need to, and bring it back up."
"If something breaks and it goes down when it's not supposed to, automation brings it right back up."
"Once automatic IPL has been defined, anyone can perform an IPL with very little intervention. We know that all of the components will be started correctly."
"It's very flexible. You can customize what you need to, which is good. For example, you can do your own coding inside the tool, make your own scripting tooling."
"Because we can define complex commands, the training of new operators is quicker. We can also put checks in place, that will prevent user errors."
"​The follow-up surprised me. Making sure that I am happy with what I have gone to them on. They will call after I have made changes and verify that I am happy with the changes that I did have to make. If it did not fix the complete problem, they go back over it until I am satisfied.​"
 

Cons

"This application should be made easier to use because it usually needs training and it is not easy to operate."
"Some of the command sequences are too long."
"Because of its age, it's a little bit difficult to modernize some of the integrations and some of the functions."
"The further expansion of the mainframe teamcenter interface. Also, the web services support is something that I am looking into."
"One thing that comes to mind is the MQ interface. The last time we tried to use it, it seemed a little clunky."
"The interfaces to USS, CA UIM could be better. CA Common Services interfaces - namely Zdata Mover, Zmessage Service, Zdatacolletcor - are poorly documented."
"The reason sometimes it is not stable, we do not have the expertise to write the script.​"
"Scalability is zero. It cannot be scaled because of its age."
"​It’s a complex product. The initial installation is easy, but implementing various functions is a constant process.​"
