Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, Tidal Software by Redwood, Redwood Software and others in Workload Automation."It allows you to automate tasks, and reduce headcount, prevent errors, self-heal."
"The solution has been stable."
"We need to have things run in a very sequential order, so it is very useful that we can schedule the work flows."
"We get better reports than we use to have."
"The customized views that each individual can create, and views that can be made free-form, makes this very popular with the programmers."
"We automate recurring processes, keeping track of IT processes controlled worldwide."
"It's very easy to work with. The learning curve is not that steep."
"The CA workload agent has gotten much better. For our organization it's important for us to communicate in a secure fashion between the host and the other platforms, and we are able to do that with our CA product"
"BMC support is great. They usually can answer any of our questions in a short amount of time and solve our most complex issues."
"The ability to script and create BL packages to perform various functions. This makes automating our environment relatively easy to do."
"It gives us more speed to deliver services and applications, and we rely on security."
"The product's valuable feature is its ability to conduct patching for multiple servers simultaneously."
"Compliance is also huge... By tying it to Atrium Orchestrator, our workflow tool, we'll be able to have a closed loop where we identify a compliance issue, cut CRs, get them approved, and then be able to execute these CRs and more seamlessly fix these issues on the fly."
"Among the most valuable features is its flexibility and ability to work across multiple operating systems. Being able to execute some form of data collection and not have to worry about whether I'm working on a Linux box, or a Windows box, or the underlying OS, I can do these collections, get these results, and put them together in a uniform format which makes it easier to present back to management."
"The solution is stable."
"BMC Bladelogic Automation can be used across many OS platforms, providing us flexibility for deployments."
"They could do better supporting it. They have too many of the same type of products, so sometimes it doesn't get as much attention as it should."
"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."
"Some support issues need to be addressed, but not through email, through personal contact via phone or WebEx."
"Performance improvements in the UI would be appreciated."
"Ease of implementation for upgrades."
"In terms of what should be in the next release, I want integration and AI and so on. I'd like easy reporting where you can compare information, for example, "that job normally takes three minutes and last time it took six minutes or 10 minutes." Then you can get the information to the engineer of which job is taking more time than normal - understanding strange behavior compared to the baseline."
"The GUI/Workstation is weak and needs to be improved. CA is working on this right now."
"Quick search feature and job analysis could be improved."
"I would like to see more container integration in the next release of this solution."
"A better CLI Database cleanup tool would help us with our regular maintenance of BladeLogic Server Automation."
"Provisioning needs to be more user-friendly. We were using BladeLogic for provisioning, but due to a lot of issues and complications, we had to stop using provisioning with this tool."
"We've had to increase RAM and CPU processing in order to alleviate some of the sluggishness during patching."
"There is no option to see all the servers we patch and we cannot find what the server status is. Of course, we can what has been completed and what is pending and which servers have failed, but we cannot find server status from the BMC tool. For example, is the RDP up or not. We are using separate scripts for that."
"Scaling the environment during setup at larger organizations with 10,000 employees gets complicated."
"BMC TrueSight Server Automation's scripting needs improvement."
"Without any knowledge of the product, we used the KB articles to start working. As a result, we definitely did not have full knowledge of BMC BladeLogic... They need to provide a minimum of knowledge with training on YouTube or somewhere else."
