I think BMC AMI Ops is better than OMEGAMON in all aspects, but SYSVIEW is a good competitor. SYSVIEW is easy to use and responds quickly. The decision to use one or other product has been more financial and administrative than technical.

It is only supported on VMWare and less entirely on a solution for traditional capacity planning. There was more of a strain on VMware in terms of cost and comfort level in ramping up with the solution, which was why we selected BMC AMI Ops.

The best part of AMI Ops for z OS, CICS DB2, or Network management, which I like and prefer to use, is that there are so many very useful Views for almost all purposes, specifically to analyze system performance issues that really impact Business.

Cons
  • Going back in history must be improved, its not that flexible.
  • The current interval in the z OS panel is 1 minute. However, the backward details show 15 15-minute intervals, which is not helpful.
  • The job delay reason column should include a more exact reason instead of a general statement.

BMC AMI Cloud and Data provides a data resiliency solution for the cloud.
