For nmon there is a add-on tool "nmon analyzer", which will take the log output of nmon and produce charts and all sorts of graphical boo-hoos which are likely to make the guys from sales happy. A SysAdmin can even derive meaningful information from it but that means some level of insight into the intrinsics of AIX and people having it will know where and how to get this information anyways.
NMON and NMON analyzer can both be found on the IBM support website for AIX. Alas NMON analyzer is depending on M$ Excel so you will need a system with some toy OS on it.
There is still the classical "sar" utility, which can be set up to collect the data you wat to know once you know what you would like to know. With a few scripts and xgraph you can make similar reports like with nmon analyzer.
