MXG is a good product and has always provided excellent support as to what the SMF records mean. They have an option where you can run it with SAS (or WPS I believe) on a PC or server.
Black Hill Software also has some SMF reporting tools which look pretty nice. We recently tested Pacific Systems Group SMF Writer to analyze OMVS SMF30 records for a client issue. It worked very well for our quick and dirty purposes, and has maps for all of the important SMF records and has a nice 4GL (something like EZTrieve) which is trivial to learn.
