We performed a comparison between AutoSys Workload Automation and AWS Step Functions based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Workload Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Automic Automation Engine provides us the ability to map logic using a scripting language."
"It is a fairly stable solution."
"We get better reports than we use to have."
"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."
"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"
"The most valuable aspects of AutoSys Workload Automation are its performance, scalability, and ease of getting started for new users."
"It gives a real-time view of all the batch processing that we have. Monitoring-wise, it is really good."
"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."
"It's a general solution that you can adapt to your own needs and is simple to use. We like that it can be integrated with everything in the AWS suite, and that the creation of the pipeline can be done using the graphical user interface."
"The number of historical events is great."
"One can rate all the calls and that is a good feature."
"What I like the most about Amazon Step Functions is how easy it is to use."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It's Amazon, it's scalable."
"The integration capability is easy, whereas building state machines is tricky."
"AWS Step Functions acts as a high-level layer, allowing us to seamlessly integrate with microservices."
"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."
"It would be helpful to be able to monitor and manage workload windows so we could minimize downstream applications. This would allow us easier access to the applications."
"We had a few issues, however, the issues were more on the infrastructure rather than with the application itself."
"Pricing model for distributed should have an Enterprise option."
"SQL server clustering is not supported."
"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."
"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."
"The reporting system, currently, could be better."
"The solution's data size limit can be improved."
"It is hard to coordinate the declaratory language."
"Setup took about one day. We had some errors to understand in the beginning, but now everything is working good."
"The solution's pricing could be cheaper. It is cheaper than Airflow."
"The price and support are areas with shortcomings where the solution needs to improve."
"I would like to see more data transformation features in Amazon Step Functions like additional operators and logic."
"The interface can sometimes feel limited, as we're unable to see what AWS is running behind the scenes."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved."
