"It works. It does not fail. If something fails, it is not Automic."
"The ability to be able to automate more of our business processes."
"We are able to control and change our processes when necessary."
"It's easy to use. When you schedule jobs, if you can speak English you can schedule them easily and correctly. Also, there's a lot of flexibility because the product allows you to do many tasks, in multiple ways, so you can choose the way that works best for your environment."
"It integrates well with the CICD pipeline."
"Customers save a lot of money when they use this product, because of things like the scheduling tool."
"All the components that it can use to design work flow; process automation."
"It works to automate business processes over all the systems. You have a central point where you can automate everything."
"It gives a real-time view of all the batch processing that we have. Monitoring-wise, it is really good."
"I prefer AutoSys over the other ones out there for ease of use, ease of understanding, and getting people to understand how the tool works."
"We don't have to manually run things anymore. We can have the work that a team of 50 people would do, all inside of one platform."
"It has allowed us to automate many of the functions of our operations staff. For instance, we had production control staff spending two hours a day entering date parms into our daily business processes. And now, CA Workload Automation does it for us."
"Automic Automation Engine provides us the ability to map logic using a scripting language."
"The features that I have found most valuable with AutoSys are that it is scalable, easy to use, fast, and always available. That's very important because if it's not steady then it's a real problem. So, at this point, we are satisfied with it."
"AutoSys Workload Automation is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the functions are easy to use."
"The frustration that we have probably had in the past is where CA tools run for a period of time, then they get deprecated, and you have to build a new one."
"We would like a way to test our cloud-based automations on-premises, and then migrate them to the cloud after they have been tested, without needing an additional license."
"The search is sometimes a little bit slow."
"Automic Workload Automation could improve the SaaS deployment."
"There are some scripting elements that could be added."
"Every time we have an upgrade for a new version, we have stability problems, because the versions are not as good as they should be."
"A little less button clicking, in the navigation of the tool itself would also help. There is a lot out there, and I understand that's what keeps the tool robust. It keeps our options open, but it's a bit click-y sometimes. To get where you need to go, you have to go through 10 levels."
"I hope in the next release that they will solve all the bugs which they have found in development."
"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."
"There is a slow response time by tech support. Unless, you say it's severity level one. That will give you a two hour timing window for them to call you. It doesn't really happen exactly in two hours, but they try."
"Quick search feature and job analysis could be improved."
"Pricing model for distributed should have an Enterprise option."
"This product needs to improve its graphical user interface."
"The solution does not have a friendly subscription model because it forces users to take a five-year subscription simultaneously, charging millions of dollars."
"Performance improvements in the UI would be appreciated."
"To make it a lot more user-friendly, in order to make it so other people can use it without having to do much training with it; the more user-friendly it is, the easier it is to work with."
