Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, Tidal Software by Redwood, Redwood Software and others in Workload Automation."It streamlines processing really well, so we're able to cut down on our processing times."
"We need to have things run in a very sequential order, so it is very useful that we can schedule the work flows."
"The ability to create calendars, calendering for batch jobs to run on a scheduled frequency."
"We use CA Workload Automation AE r11.3.6 to automate enterprise-wide scheduling and file transfers using an FTP plugin."
"The most valuable aspects of AutoSys Workload Automation are its performance, scalability, and ease of getting started for new users."
"It is stable, it works, and it does what it is supposed to."
"It works constantly and is pretty seamless. You do not have to open up many support tickets."
"It has allowed us to automate many of the functions of our operations staff. For instance, we had production control staff spending two hours a day entering date parms into our daily business processes. And now, CA Workload Automation does it for us."
"We like the basic operations that we can do with the VM such as restarting, rebooting, creating snapshots, and deleting snapshots."
"Technical support is great. They help us 24/7."
"It has helped us with user segmentation and QA."
"The most valuable features are the multi-tenancy and multi-site configuration."
"The compatibility with vSAN and NSX is the greatest feature of vCloud. It also has integration with vROps, which is quite nice."
"The most valuable feature of vCloud Director is the scaling architecture that they have built."
"The most valuable features are the UI, the interface, and accessibility."
"The tool is very stable."
"The lack of documentation, that is an issue. When we do need to bring it down for maintenance, it is always a scary moment for us because we have never had it crash."
"The cross-platform arena, where you can run work on multiple platforms, needs improvement."
"The reporting system, currently, could be better."
"I would like to see two-factor authentication, since you see a lot of companies in the news for security breaches. That is a really big thing for us."
"We see improvement possibilities in the processing provision of predefined evaluations or individual objects, or in the Self Service portal, which can be used by any user to monitor objects or start objects."
"To make it a lot more user-friendly, in order to make it so other people can use it without having to do much training with it; the more user-friendly it is, the easier it is to work with."
"The GUI/Workstation is weak and needs to be improved. CA is working on this right now."
"Because this product only computes processing days, it is hard when things need to be scheduled according to non-processing days."
"vCloud Director should improve by having support with other cloud providers, such as Microsoft Azure and Google cloud."
"The integration between components could be improved."
"If you have a deployed environment and lose it, you can't easily deploy it back with vCloud Director. Because of this reason, we don't have the data protection, disaster recovery, and container features."
"In version 6.7, compatibility to migrate VMs from a vCenter to vCloud Director had a problem. However, this has been solved in the newest version."
"The solution should add other hypervisors so things like hover wizards can be automated."
"There are new updates every quarter, so we need to purchase new support deployment services and some new products."
"Lacking additional services reduces the level of cloud integration companies just love with Amazon and Azure."
"It would be beneficial if some features were built into the platform rather than requiring integration with multiple products, reducing complexity and licensing concerns."
