Considered Both Products
BMC AMI Ops
Chose BMC AMI Ops
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.
Chose BMC AMI Ops
The stack is directly competitive to those solutions offering a broad list of capabilities with a unified interface and intuitive experience.
Chose BMC AMI Ops
BMC AMI Ops was chosen because of its reporting and alerting capabilities
SYSVIEW Performance Management

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
BMC Software Inc.
  • 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. It is for customers looking to 1. backup their decades-worth of data stored in physical or virtual tapes to Cloud storage (AWS S3), 2. perform analytics and business intelligence to run targeted customers or campaigns on mainframe data now available in the cloud, and 3. use the data as backup/ restore copies in the event of a disaster.

SYSVIEW replaced TMON. Today it seems like a good choice. We tried OMEGAMON and just couldn't get it to work the way we liked.
