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.
TBSM is being replaced for our work by another Tivoli tool - DASH. This replacement will address the biggest area of improvement. We need the most commonly leveraged real-time metric trends from the source tools in the same pane of glass as the event stream is presenting, and DASH gives a way to do that with logical grouping by type & app.

The ability to use command rules is great when our operators have repetitive tasks, but we'd like to automate off of different highlighted messages without actually knowing what the message is.
One of the things we've been wanting to do is to be able to automate off of different highlighted messages without actually knowing what the message is. For example, we'd like to be able to create some generic automation when we receive a warning or alert message to allow, if nothing else, the automation team to know so we can contact the product owner. If there's something we can do to automate or expedite notification to the proper people, we want to try to do that.

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."
"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 performance of it is beyond exceptional. It is probably one of the best products that I have ever worked with. It is easy to use, comprehensive, and can perform almost any task you need it to."
"With the automation pieces we can bring this region up or take this region down, and it allows us to always meet our time critical requirements."
"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."
"​The service has been wonderful. I like the people that I have had to deal with. The process is very straightforward. I call or use the website."
"The documentation is simple, easy to follow, and use. A limited, first-time systems programmer can do it, in that it is out-of-the-box almost functional."
"It's a very stable product. I very much like the SSM stuff in it. The rules engine, it's awesome."
"I can and interrupt what's going on, bring a job down if I need to, and bring it back up."
 

Cons

"This application should be made easier to use because it usually needs training and it is not easy to operate."
"Performing a stop/restart of OPS/MVS could be a little smoother. Without special coding, some undesired tasks will be started and some necessary tasks will be stopped if we have to bounce OPS/MVS during the day."
"Some of the command sequences are too long."
"One thing that comes to mind is the MQ interface. The last time we tried to use it, it seemed a little clunky."
"Because of its age, it's a little bit difficult to modernize some of the integrations and some of the functions."
"The interfaces to USS, CA UIM could be better. CA Common Services interfaces - namely Zdata Mover, Zmessage Service, Zdatacolletcor - are poorly documented."
"The GUI interface could be improved, but that is coming. They are working on that."
"The reason sometimes it is not stable, we do not have the expertise to write the script.​"
"It definitely needs more web-based interface, to be more mobile-open. More APIs, more open source to it."
