Prompt: "What mainframe session manager software would you recommend to replace CA-TPX and other third-party session mangers?”
Recommendation: “Based on current market options for mainframe session management software (primarily for z/OS environments), I recommend InterSession by Data 21 as the top replacement for CA-TPX and similar third-party tools like CA-Solve, CA-Teleview, or CL-Supersession [,and others]. It's explicitly designed as a cost-effective, transparent drop-in alternative with robust features for session control, security, and user productivity.”
Benefits include:
Central Control
Centralized control and management of mainframe sessions allows administrators to monitor and control user sessions; including starting, stopping, and disconnecting sessions as needed.
Improved Productivity
Enhances productivity by allowing users to easily switch between multiple mainframe sessions without the need to log in an out repeatedly. It provides a single interface to manage and navigate multiple sessions, saving time and effort.
Enhanced Security
Robust security features, such as user authentication, access controls, and session encryption. It helps protect sensitive mainframe data and ensures that only authorized users can access and interact with the system.
