Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, Tidal Software by Redwood, Redwood Software and others in Workload Automation."The most valuable aspects of AutoSys Workload Automation are its performance, scalability, and ease of getting started for new users."
"Easy configuration and integration with SAP."
"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."
"AutoSys Workload Automation is scalable."
"Integration with multiple services and applications across the enterprise."
"We run millions of jobs through it every day using it for financial transactions, banking, credit cards, PeopleSoft, payroll, etc."
"The scheduling feature allows us to know when jobs are going to run and makes sure they run in the order needed."
"The flexibility in solving job scheduling challenges allows us to successfully integrate an acquired business’ fiscal close with our own, even though there is a lot of variance as to when they run in the calendar month."
"The Organizations feature, where I can give clear silos and hand them over to different teams, that's amazing; everybody says that it's their own Tower. It's like they have their own Tower out there."
"It does not require staff for deployment and maintenance. It just works."
"The biggest thing I liked about Ansible is the check mode so that we can verify, after we've pushed, that the config there is actually what we intended."
"Installing it is a PIP command. So, it's pretty easy. It is a one liner."
"There are new modules available, which help to simplify the workflow. That is what we like about it."
"The most valuable feature of Ansible is repeatability because when you're working at the DoD, you want things to be cookie-cutter and replicable."
"I like Ansible's ease of use. If you have Linux skills, you can create a reusable template for the dependencies and other configurations. I can store the templates in a repository and share them with my customers or other developers. It's a popular solution, so there is a large user base that can share templates."
"The user interface is well-built and very easy to navigate around."
"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."
"Needs better documentation with fully explained examples for some of the job types."
"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."
"I would like to see the Service Orchestrator, a B2B product, and maybe a process audit."
"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."
"I am not sure whether it is our limitation or a tool limitation because we haven't yet explored it, but whenever we look for different types of reporting, we have some limitations in getting those. It could be because of the way we have set it up internally in our enterprise, but it would be helpful if we can customize the reporting features and some of the alerts that can go out. When we connect enterprise systems, each one looks for a different use case, and if we can get different types of reporting, it will be helpful."
"Quick search feature and job analysis could be improved."
"More benefits with the agent upgrades, and that's about it. Other than that we have no complaints with it. It's been awesome."
"Performance has been an issue on larger environments, but it has gotten a lot better over the past two years."
"Because Ansible is establishing SSH sessions to perform tasks, there is a limit on scalability."
"There are some options not available in the community edition of the solution."
"It would be good to make the solution more user-friendly,"
"The solution should add a nice self-service portal."
"Documentation could be improved. Many times, if I'm looking for something, I have to Google it in a lot of places, then figure out what the best approach will be. There are some best practices documents, but they don't give you the information."
"The governance features could be improved."
"It can use some more credential types. I've found that when I go looking for a certain credential type, such as private keys, they're not really there."
