"The automated solution is the most valuable piece. Otherwise, we would have to be doing everything manually on every server."

"The interface is good."
"It is really a robust product."
"The solution is very user friendly so anyone can use it."
"We have a lot of nightly jobs that need to be run. Therefore, we perform a lot of calculations and processes during nighttime hours."
"We use CA Workload Automation AE r11.3.6 to automate enterprise-wide scheduling and file transfers using an FTP plugin."
"It gives us flexibility when doing releases. We can make changes for one day in a PDS member, since we stage our jobs by date, and the next day the normal job definitions are run."
"We need to have things run in a very sequential order, so it is very useful that we can schedule the work flows."
"The actual scheduling of our jobs has helped us tremendously. Before it was all done manually, and we've totally automated the whole functionality, so there's no longer a case where somebody didn't run something."
"The most valuable feature of AutoSys Workload Automation is batch processing."
"Inherit Dependencies feature reduces scheduling errors for holiday processing."
"AutoSys Workload Automation is scalable."
"Automation of patch process."
"It is difficult to integrate with the Active Directory (AD)."

"We are looking for additional features that would allow us to call APIs and integrate the product with other tools more effectively."
"Reporting, forecasting and intelligence could be improved."

"The internal security model can be complex when configuring multiple user groups."
"The compliance features are limited to the server and not the entire infrastructure."
"The scalability could improve."
"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."
"An area for improvement in AutoSys Workload Automation is that it lacks advanced features or advanced built-in functionalities found in competitors, for example, an advanced workflow feature. Even the handling or notification from AutoSys Workload Automation isn't the best in the industry. Other products have very good workflow-related functionalities such as ActiveBatch that's missing in AutoSys Workload Automation, so I wish the tool had those features."
"The reporting system, currently, could be better."
"We are trying to see if we can use this from a cloud perspective with AWS, Azure, and other clouds, but it seems that there is no cloud integration in this product. We would like to see cloud integration. We are very pleased with this solution, but we are moving our application to the cloud, and we found out that it doesn't support any cloud features. So, we are trying to find a replacement."
"SQL server clustering is not supported."
"Some of the reports are either a bit hard to understand or don’t give you what you might expect to see."
"A better graphical user interface, because we have a lot of people using the client utility, and we want to get them away from that."
"There is a slow response time by tech support. Unless, you say it's severity level one. That will give you a two hour timing window for them to call you. It doesn't really happen exactly in two hours, but they try."
