Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, Tidal Software by Redwood, Redwood Software and others in Workload Automation."We have a lot of governance and compliance requirements as a bank that we can fulfill with this product."
"It will improve how we function. It is just meeting a functional need in a maybe more agile way; it is faster."
"Compared to other products, the stability is remarkable."
"The ability the system has to dynamically create groups, schedules, and workflows is crucial to us. In a fast-paced, agile environment, our teams are very lean. Monitoring and maintaining of all the approximately 2,000,000 executions of Automic jobs are managed by only three employees. The system has been designed to be as dynamic and versatile as the business processes and teams that own them."
"It improves the visibility of what is going on on the system. If I have a problem, it is easy to identify, understand dependencies, and identifying the root causes than just running through scripts and searching through applications or servers."
"You can create very fine, granular workflows with a lot of possibilities. It gives you the possibility to do things in many ways."
"The most important and critical process business in the bank, including COB, closed or business, which has to run on a daily basis, is automated."
"It is an easy product to use, and we use it for end-to-end process automation."
"From an administration standpoint, it's very easy to manage, and I feel pretty confident in the security of the product. From an end-user standpoint also, it's very easy."
"I admire its ability to transfer really large files. One of the files that we transferred was 70 gigs. We didn't try anything larger than that, but so far, whenever somebody came to us to process a really large file, we were able to do it successfully. It can handle large files. That is one thing that I like about Automation."
"The renaming and timestamp features are great."
"The automation is generally very simple that helps with operational efficiency. Since we mainly created interfaces and scheduled transfers, the tool itself handled the file transfer automation."
"Offers a large collection of very good path planning algorithms."
"The most valuable feature of MOVEit is the upload speed."
"Especially at the time of monitoring, it's a nice way to take a look at the script and take a look at run time, which gives enough information for the files that are getting picked or not."
"The convenience of renaming files and using time stamps to segregate them has been very valuable."
"There are some scripting elements that could be added."
"Choosing Automic Workload Automation essentially locks us into their ecosystem, making it nearly impossible to switch to a different product."
"With every new version, things that would previously work, Automic breaks them. So, we have to report the new bugs. Therefore, every time when we patch the system, there is usually a new bug or a feature that was working, then it stops working."
"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."
"I would not recommend using Automic's technical support for complex problems."
"The workflows should be clearer and more expressive."
"They should work to reduce pricing."
"There is one missing part in the product concerning recurring tasks. You can schedule a recurring task by a context action, and run it as recurrent, but it creates a time container which can be quit and disappears."
"Something that I would like to see is better upgrade support. We had looked at getting help with an upgrade, and to do it after hours, it was going to be $6,000. It only takes 15 minutes to do. It'd be nice if the after-hour support was a little more reasonable."
"Communication can be improved between the product owners and users."
"Since I have to monitor two times a day, it would be nice if they have script templates."
"At times, we had connection issues with MOVEit, and it had a tendency to reboot without any reason."
"With the new other vendors coming up, they come up with certain features, in addition to the file transfer. But MOVEit does not develop their product. That's why we are looking out for other solutions."
"It would be beneficial to include a feature that allows you to hide items and not be locked out if someone has made too many password attempts."
"In future releases, MOVEit could add support for some additional protocols. For example, I don't think they supported the SFTP or FTPS protocols at the time."
"The initial setup is a bit difficult."
