Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, Tidal Software by Redwood, Redwood Software and others in Workload Automation."Being able to script, create something I want the software to do for a specific job. This allows me to do that. Very powerful."
"With the automation, we are able to provide background services. It is very economical and not possible to do manually."
"Integration with most of the platforms that we have within the company's Windows, Linux, and Unix. Integrating these inside the automation agent for scheduling, backups, file transfer, and SAP jobs."
"We have seen improvements in time efficiency and cost resources, because we are mainly focused on the SAP area, and its automation in that part."
"We have two nodes that are highly available. You can add new nodes if you need that. You can take a node, a total node, down and still be operating fine. It has a lot of scaling to it."
"It has its own object-oriented scripting language and you can reload your object in many different places."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the scheduler."
"It is flexible. We can do additional scripting in Automic script, in combination with JSL language."
"The renaming and timestamp features are great."
"From an administration standpoint, it's very easy to manage, and I feel pretty confident in the security of the product. From an end-user standpoint also, it's very easy."
"Especially at the time of monitoring, it's a nice way to take a look at the script and take a look at run time, which gives enough information for the files that are getting picked or not."
"Offers a large collection of very good path planning algorithms."
"The most valuable feature of MOVEit is the upload speed."
"The automation is generally very simple that helps with operational efficiency. Since we mainly created interfaces and scheduled transfers, the tool itself handled the file transfer automation."
"It satisfies our requirements but they don't do new improvements as per the market."
"I admire its ability to transfer really large files. One of the files that we transferred was 70 gigs. We didn't try anything larger than that, but so far, whenever somebody came to us to process a really large file, we were able to do it successfully. It can handle large files. That is one thing that I like about Automation."
"The new user interface needs improvement. The previous version was good and stable. Now, we have to check the new one before using a web browser. It is not stable."
"When you want to use the entirety of Automic, it is heavy."
"There has to be a better way to visualize things in the application without having so many windows open."
"Documentation is not great. It was previously much better."
"From my point of view, the current product needs more stability."
"I would like to see the event engine in the next release."
"With every new version, things that would previously work, Automic breaks them. So, we have to report the new bugs. Therefore, every time when we patch the system, there is usually a new bug or a feature that was working, then it stops working."
"For power users, it does not work well for them at the moment."
"Communication can be improved between the product owners and users."
"At times, we had connection issues with MOVEit, and it had a tendency to reboot without any reason."
"In future releases, MOVEit could add support for some additional protocols. For example, I don't think they supported the SFTP or FTPS protocols at the time."
"It takes some time to learn and understand how the solution functions."
"It would be beneficial to include a feature that allows you to hide items and not be locked out if someone has made too many password attempts."
"Something that I would like to see is better upgrade support. We had looked at getting help with an upgrade, and to do it after hours, it was going to be $6,000. It only takes 15 minutes to do. It'd be nice if the after-hour support was a little more reasonable."
"Since I have to monitor two times a day, it would be nice if they have script templates."
"With the new other vendors coming up, they come up with certain features, in addition to the file transfer. But MOVEit does not develop their product. That's why we are looking out for other solutions."
