Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, Tidal Software by Redwood, Redwood Software and others in Workload Automation."It is very valuable for us when we are trying to arrange or orchestrate jobs into a system. It is helpful for triggering jobs for a scheduled task."
"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 most valuable feature of this solution is the functions are easy to use."
"The capabilities of the product to schedule on multiple platforms, multiple operating systems."
"Automic Automation Engine provides us the ability to map logic using a scripting language."
"We run millions of jobs through it every day using it for financial transactions, banking, credit cards, PeopleSoft, payroll, etc."
"The most valuable feature of AutoSys Workload Automation is user-friendliness. If someone has some knowledge of the tool they can use it."
"The CA workload agent has gotten much better. For our organization it's important for us to communicate in a secure fashion between the host and the other platforms, and we are able to do that with our CA product"
"Scalability is good."
"Server Automation's best feature is automated patching. It also helps us automate compliance and report generation. We can even integrate TrueSight Server Automation with a vulnerability management solution to remedy vulnerabilities by applying patches, deploying scripts, or changing registry entries."
"It gives us more speed to deliver services and applications, and we rely on security."
"Compliance is also huge... By tying it to Atrium Orchestrator, our workflow tool, we'll be able to have a closed loop where we identify a compliance issue, cut CRs, get them approved, and then be able to execute these CRs and more seamlessly fix these issues on the fly."
"The best feature of the solution is patch automation."
"BMC Bladelogic Automation can be used across many OS platforms, providing us flexibility for deployments."
"The product's valuable feature is its ability to conduct patching for multiple servers simultaneously."
"The solution is stable."
"The GUI/Workstation is weak and needs to be improved. CA is working on this right now."
"AutoSys Workload Automation could improve the integration."
"This product needs to improve its graphical user interface."
"The cross-platform arena, where you can run work on multiple platforms, needs improvement."
"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."
"Some of the reports are either a bit hard to understand or don’t give you what you might expect to see."
"We had a few issues, however, the issues were more on the infrastructure rather than with the application itself."
"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."
"Scaling the environment during setup at larger organizations with 10,000 employees gets complicated."
"Resource management on the base servers is sluggish and could be improved."
"I would like to see a better methodology for handling REST calls and integration into the APIs. They add new APIs as they add functions, but they've missed some from older components which they still haven't added in. Some of the APIs are there but the CLI calls are not there."
"We encountered some reporting issues. Also, we needed to gather information from the backend before the product execution. The output's format is not good."
"We've had to increase RAM and CPU processing in order to alleviate some of the sluggishness during patching."
"I would like to see more container integration in the next release of this solution."
"BMC TrueSight Server Automation's scripting needs improvement."
"There is no other functionality available to patch the containers that we need to include."
