Rating: 10 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
I have more than 6 years of experience using Performance Navigator. The tools are user friendly and useful to collect all the required reports; especially the feature trends for the disk and the number of jobs that are running in system by month-wise. Also, the graphical interface is very nice. The CPU, DASD, Memory and library size difference, [and] especially the reports and current day analysis options are very useful.
Pros
- Disk growth trends.
- Library size change difference.
- CPU, DASD, Memory usage and the Jobs count on month wise.
- Top takers (Jobs) of the CPU%.
Cons
- It's a good tool and no such concerns.
- The product support is awesome.
Likelihood to Recommend
The best suited scenarios are disk feature trends based on the previous months usage. The product will hold the good amount of historical data [making] it easy to compare the data as needed. The before and after analysis [makes] it easy to identify the difference between those days. That particular report helped me a lot to compare the data.
