[edit] ad

This page seems like a ad by an IBM employee.

I agree, this should be removed.

Agreed; I've removed the useless marketing and replaced it with a short description of what capabilities I know it has -- I was seconds away from doing my first VfD. :-) Anyway, I've been told there's also some encryption (DES, IIRC) involved in it, somewhere, but all I really remember is that it could do VNC and remote software installation/configuration (which frequently failed to take, btw). --Jack (Cuervo) 13:15, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

...And it still reads like an ad. --Jack (Cuervo) 00:49, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] http interface?

I recall Tivoli endpoints (TMEs?) having an HTTP interface you could talk to and query/set configuration parameters on. Can anyone who's worked with the thing recently verify that it's still around? Maybe pop in a screenshot?

By the way, I'm still not sure how much Tivoli warrants an article. --Jack (Cuervo) 09:52, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Alive and kicking

I understand the need to keep advertising far away, but the Tivoli framework is still around and has a massive community of users, mainly in medium to large environments. People curious on Systems_management need to know the main players in the market. For my part, I'm not an IBM employee, I just work with tools in this category. And I'm interested in System_administration.

[edit] Useful article

... in terms of its existence, anyway. I needed to quickly find out what it is and roughly what it does, and while this article is still something of a stub it has done that for me far better than trawling through reams of marketing fluff which I suspect is all I'd be able to find elsewhere. Please expand this kind of thing rather than deleting it, because some people do need articles like this. PeteVerdon 14:05, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Eh. Take a look at the edit history: most of them are coming from IBM IP addresses. While it's still a significant improvement over the old article, I'm a bit conflicted over it... On one hand, they'd probably know what they were talking about, but on the other, well, it still reads like an ad to me.
In any case, I'm going to remove it from my watchlist and let the rest of the world figure it out. I haven't used it in long enough (and, by the way, I'd like to keep it that way. I could tell you stories about dealing with TMEs... ;-)) --Johnny (Cuervo) 11:43, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Conflict

This article has at least one piece of information in conflict with Tivoli Systems, Inc.. This articce says Tivoli was acquired by IBM in 1995. The Tivoli Systems, Inc. article, on the other hand, says the acquisition occured in 1996. -- Rg 16:55, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Page is not useful as it is

Most of the products don't rely on TMF and TMF is going to be replaced by webservices over time. Changed that. -- HP 09:33, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

TMF is the base for many Tivoli softwares and being used widely in old big organizations. TMF based products are very stable & efficient. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.8.211.11 (talk) 11:17, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
