"It's Amazon, it's scalable."
"The solution is stable...The solution is easy to scale."
"It's a general solution that you can adapt to your own needs and is simple to use. We like that it can be integrated with everything in the AWS suite, and that the creation of the pipeline can be done using the graphical user interface."
"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."
"This product needs to improve its graphical user interface."
"The lack of documentation, that is an issue. When we do need to bring it down for maintenance, it is always a scary moment for us because we have never had it crash."
"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."
"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."
"SQL server clustering is not supported."
"Some support issues need to be addressed, but not through email, through personal contact via phone or WebEx."
"The reporting system, currently, could be better."
"The interface can sometimes feel limited, as we're unable to see what AWS is running behind the scenes."

"I would like to see more data transformation features in Amazon Step Functions like additional operators and logic."
"It is hard to coordinate the declaratory language."
"The solution's data size limit can be improved."
