"Automic Automation Engine provides us the ability to map logic using a scripting language."
"To me, what's most valuable in AutoSys Workload Automation is its robustness and quickness. The tool can trigger jobs within a few milliseconds, and it can handle large volumes of jobs."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The capabilities of the product to schedule on multiple platforms, multiple operating systems."
"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."
"AutoSys Workload Automation is scalable."
"It gives a real-time view of all the batch processing that we have. Monitoring-wise, it is really good."
"The integration capability is easy, whereas building state machines is tricky."
"The number of historical events is great."
"One can rate all the calls and that is a good feature."
"The solution is stable...The solution is easy to scale."
"What I like the most about Amazon Step Functions is how easy it is to use."
"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."
"AWS Step Functions acts as a high-level layer, allowing us to seamlessly integrate with microservices."
"It is a scalable solution."
"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."
"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."
"It lacks support and integration with cloud computing platforms."
"The solution could improve by having support for container environments."
"Some support issues need to be addressed, but not through email, through personal contact via phone or WebEx."
"They could do better supporting it. They have too many of the same type of products, so sometimes it doesn't get as much attention as it should."
"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."
"The graphical interface can be improved."
"The solution's data size limit can be improved."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved."
"Setup took about one day. We had some errors to understand in the beginning, but now everything is working good."
"The interface can sometimes feel limited, as we're unable to see what AWS is running behind the scenes."
"It is hard to coordinate the declaratory language."
"The solution's pricing could be cheaper. It is cheaper than Airflow."
"It wasn't easy to understand the licensing model. It's like if you use just a little, it's cheap, but it becomes more expensive as you use more. It's like a hook that ties you inside the Amazon ecosystem. So, it creates a dependency."
"I would like to see more data transformation features in Amazon Step Functions like additional operators and logic."
