User Testimonials
	ToolsNet by Atlas Copco	IBM Z
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	We found its Data processing marvelous, and its benefit to accomplish chores in time gives us high authenticity and availability to the data deposit with accelerated admittance.

Incentivized DK Dana Kendall Senior Project Manager Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	Transactional processing, including data entry across multiple departments Reporting on massive amounts of data, due to its scale and size of processing capabilities Analytics on data as there are various accelerators for both IBM's databases and others such as Oracle Security is another major benefit to this platform as it contains a non-open systems design Incentivized Dana Rafiee Director of Worldwide Strategic Consulting Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	IBM needs to add more focus on simplifying mainframe usage and management. Most modern programmers interface with the Z using an IDE. However, performing many tasks, such as cataloging a data set or checking on a job status, can require switching to the ISPF interface. Users want to interface with a GUI, not a function-key, menu and character-based interface like ISPF. Anything that can simplify and modernize interfacing with the mainframe should be a high priority for IBM. The IBM Z platform is one of the most instrumented computing platforms in the world, so there are a lot of metrics that could be automatically analyzed and used to improve the performance and management of the mainframe environment.
