Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, Tidal Software by Redwood, Redwood Software and others in Workload Automation."This solution has made my clients' workplaces a lot less labor-intensive."
"Automation of patch process."
"The aggregator reporting utility which tells us our throughput in lag and latency."
"It is stable, it works, and it does what it is supposed to."
"We need to have things run in a very sequential order, so it is very useful that we can schedule the work flows."
"The capabilities of the product to schedule on multiple platforms, multiple operating systems."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the functions are easy to use."
"Inherit Dependencies feature reduces scheduling errors for holiday processing."
"The product allows us to add or remove features."
"I like the functionality that's available with Orchestrator. The platform stability stuff that I would be involved in worries me from the automation side because you have a lot less hands-on control of things. Price point, it kind of puts us off."
"The self-service portal is the most valuable. We are acting as a service provider, so our customers can take care of their virtual data centers with the self-service portal. Therefore, we don't need staff for it."
"The initial installation and setup are very quick."
"The most valuable feature of vCloud Director is the scaling architecture that they have built."
"It helps ensure security across our cloud environments."
"vCloud Director works and makes my life easier. Its self-service capabilities allow us to give resources to our customers. They can spin up as many or as few machines as they like, and it works."
"Working with VMware has supported us especially in terms of building a very powerful cloud for our customers."
"CA Workload Automation is not part of CA's strategic vision going forward."
"Some of the reports are either a bit hard to understand or don’t give you what you might expect to see."
"It lacks support and integration with cloud computing platforms."
"I would like to see the Service Orchestrator, a B2B product, and maybe a process audit."
"The visibility and control features are somewhat limited."
"Performance improvements in the UI would be appreciated."
"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."
"I would like to see two-factor authentication, since you see a lot of companies in the news for security breaches. That is a really big thing for us."
"The solution should add other hypervisors so things like hover wizards can be automated."
"It would be beneficial if some features were built into the platform rather than requiring integration with multiple products, reducing complexity and licensing concerns."
"Lacks integration with the hyperscalers."
"If you have a deployed environment and lose it, you can't easily deploy it back with vCloud Director. Because of this reason, we don't have the data protection, disaster recovery, and container features."
"The integration between components could be improved."
"In version 6.7, compatibility to migrate VMs from a vCenter to vCloud Director had a problem. However, this has been solved in the newest version."
"We use vCloud Director along with Terraform, and it's difficult to make them work together. It takes a long time to deploy virtual machines with Terraform in vCloud Director. For example, it can take about one or two hours to create 10 machines. It takes up a lot of our DevOps' and engineers' time in comparison to that with other solutions. This is an area that they should work on and improve."
"The initial setup is not straightforward; it can be complicated. The deployment can take one to two weeks."
