"It enables us to build automation which is flexible in a controlled environment."
"I use this automation solution, because it is very flexible. This automation solution supports a lot of computer platforms. Also, a lot of operating systems are supported other than automation solutions."
"They just talked about adding support for hundreds of thousands of agents, and I know it goes up to about a thousand clients per engine, so you can do a lot with that. It's a very scalable solution."
"It helps our efficiency because it is a batch processing tool which works without a menu."
"The most valuable features are the predefined templates for application-specific jobs and the access for different users."
"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."
"It will increase all delivery due to an impact on efficiency, in terms of time and faster resources."
"The most valuable features of AutoSys Workload Automation are the file transfer protocol and file watcher. The solution has a user-friendly user interface. It is very simple to use. You have a scope of all your jobs, jobs are what you call tasks that you will automate in the solution. It lets you monitor everything in these jobs."
"Inherit Dependencies feature reduces scheduling errors for holiday processing."
"Automic Automation Engine provides us the ability to map logic using a scripting language."
"It is very valuable for us when we are trying to arrange or orchestrate jobs into a system. It is helpful for triggering jobs for a scheduled task."
"It scales very well. We can add jobs and remove jobs. We do not have problems maintaining the product across multiple environments and multiple servers."
"The solution has been stable."
"It has helped to simplify cross-dependency between MVS and Open systems jobs."
"This solution has made my clients' workplaces a lot less labor-intensive."
"Today, we use a rich client for this product. In the future, or for the next release, they will be using a web interface. This web interface is not as scalable as the rich client for us. The web client is not 100 percent programmed as we need it."
"The user interface has room for improvement."
"There has to be a better way to visualize things in the application without having so many windows open."
"Most of our issues are related to the system, not the job scheduling, such as, bugs and unexpected downtime of the application or database."
"The search is sometimes a little bit slow."
"I should be able to grant a user access to execute a job without having to directly list every include, prompt set, output scan, script, login, etc. An inherited read for execution purposes would accomplish the same results without making the admin list every single object every time, as well as deny the user the ability to edit."
"We would like to have some features with the AWI with the founding technique, which cannot currently be delivered."
"I'm not sure what data they use to make time estimates. However, most of the time it is not accurate. It's either way too long or way too short."
"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."
"Needs better documentation with fully explained examples for some of the job types."
"Ease of implementation for upgrades."
"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."
"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 cross-platform arena, where you can run work on multiple platforms, needs improvement."
"Reduce the number of operational files. This would make the job of a system programmer supporting ESP easier."
"The visibility and control features are somewhat limited."
