"It has improved my organization by automating IT applications."
"AutoSys Workload Automation is a stable solution."
"This solution enables us to improve our daily processing times. We can do everything faster than before we used this solution."
"We use technical support all the time. We would be lost without them. They're fantastic. Really good job. We're able to reach the right person to help us out right away."
"It gives a real-time view of all the batch processing that we have. Monitoring-wise, it is really good."
"It gives us flexibility when doing releases. We can make changes for one day in a PDS member, since we stage our jobs by date, and the next day the normal job definitions are run."
"The most valuable aspects of AutoSys Workload Automation are its performance, scalability, and ease of getting started for new users."
"We get better reports than we use to have."
"The Automation API has opened up a world of possibilities for us, including the ability to create workflows on-demand using traditional DevOps tools."
"Cross-platform support: A Linux job can be dependent on a Windows job, which can be dependent on many other flavours of hardware/software. Your batch is therefore managed by a single tool, allowing you to monitor your entire flow."
"The feature we use most in Control-M is related to the file transfer module. It is quite advanced compared to the other tools like Automate, etc. The new version which has come of same MFT has a lot of advanced features which makes it very easy to work with. There is less need for written programs and more GUI-based stuff."
"Ability to handle files remotely through the advanced file transfer feature."
"It is very stable. We hardly get calls in respect to issues on Control-M, particularly on version 9.0.19."
"The most valuable features are the Advanced File Transfer and the manage file transfer. They make transferring files securely seamless. It's very easy to set up, get deployed, and have it transferred to and from vendors. As long as we can get our firewall rules implemented at a decent time, it's very easy and seamless to get important files transferred in a secure manner."
"The monitoring tool is very good. It's very easy for expert and entry-level users to use on short notice."
"The multiple scheduling options allow you to do anything you want, whenever you want, and however you want. You can easily be in control when things happen."
"Quick search feature and job analysis could be improved."
"CA installation processes are never anything but complex."
"More benefits with the agent upgrades, and that's about it. Other than that we have no complaints with it. It's been awesome."
"I would like to see two-factor authentication, since you see a lot of companies in the news for security breaches. That is a really big thing for us."
"It would be helpful to be able to monitor and manage workload windows so we could minimize downstream applications. This would allow us easier access to the applications."
"The visibility and control features are somewhat limited."
"There is a difference between a web interface and the thick client interface. We particularly like a thick client interface, and it has gone away."
"SQL server clustering is not supported."
"A lot of businesses are using ServiceNow, which is another tool. I would like there to be some integration with ServiceNow or other third-party tools as well as have easily available integrations. Right now, we need to write scripts. Apart from that, if there were some integrations with an ITSM tool, then that would be good. Because at the end of the day, most of our clients are using different ITSM tools. I know that BMC Remedy is easy to integrate with Control-M. However, if there was availability for Jira as well as other ITSM and DevOps tools, that would be a good improvement."
"Finding documentation on the website can be a bit confusing."
"We have some plug-ins like BOBJ, and we need a little improvement there. Other than that, it has been pretty good. I haven't seen any issues."
"When it comes to supporting cloud services, Control-M is a bit slow. We are not advancing with the technology because we don't have the modules that can interact or use the new application services provided by the cloud technologies."
"Its operations and infrastructure can be improved."
"The main area that could be improved would be documentation, just like every other software product out there!"
"I think it's slightly expensive but at the same time it's a good product."
"Its architecture is old. AutoSys gives more flexibility."
