We looked at this product a year or two back and were extremely disappointed.
I'm wondering if it has improved since then.  

For example, since CA had not yet implemented the security portion in the PC
product, they just had a green screen interface on the AS/400.  Basically to
add a userid, you would call one of their interface programs passing it a few
dozen parms (the fields on a CRTUSRPRF command).  A huge step backwards from
the native AS/400 interface!!

A lot of what was promised to us was either not yet available or they could
provide as a customized solution (read that $$$).

We do use CA-UNICENTER on our RS6000's, but it seemed to me CA had little
experience with AS/400 system's products, and it showed.
