Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, Tidal Software by Redwood, Redwood Software and others in Workload Automation."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."
"It can run an object on our Windows systems or our Unix systems, and then send messages to the other system when they are complete."
"This solution enables us to improve our daily processing times. We can do everything faster than before we used this solution."
"The most valuable feature of AutoSys Workload Automation is batch processing."
"It works constantly and is pretty seamless. You do not have to open up many support tickets."
"Without this product we would have to manually submit jobs and it would take longer. There would also be a much greater possibility of jobs running wrong and/or not at the right time."
"The actual scheduling of our jobs has helped us tremendously. Before it was all done manually, and we've totally automated the whole functionality, so there's no longer a case where somebody didn't run something."
"Automic Automation Engine provides us the ability to map logic using a scripting language."
"The stability of the solution is good. We haven't experienced any bugs or glitches and we haven't had any crashes that I can recall."
"The solution is easy to manipulate and has good performance."
"The solution could improve by having support for container environments."
"The GUI/Workstation is weak and needs to be improved. CA is working on this right now."
"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."
"Quick search feature and job analysis could be improved."
"SQL server clustering is not supported."
"I am looking forward to more of their dashboard features. I think it would be very valuable for us to have dashboard features that could be delivered to our customers in the form of a URL, and they could refresh that URL whenever they wanted to get up to date performance metrics out of our systems."
"Reduce the number of operational files. This would make the job of a system programmer supporting ESP easier."
"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 have difficulties manipulating the agent for Windows."
"The technical support could be improved by removing delays in response times. They should be able to get back to clients faster."
