Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, Tidal Software by Redwood, Redwood Software and others in Workload Automation."The solution has been stable."
"The features that I have found most valuable with AutoSys are that it is scalable, easy to use, fast, and always available. That's very important because if it's not steady then it's a real problem. So, at this point, we are satisfied with it."
"We need to have things run in a very sequential order, so it is very useful that we can schedule the work flows."
"The most valuable feature of AutoSys Workload Automation is batch processing."
"The aggregator reporting utility which tells us our throughput in lag and latency."
"We don't have to manually run things anymore. We can have the work that a team of 50 people would do, all inside of one platform."
"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."
"Without this product we would have to manually submit jobs and it would take longer. There would also be a much greater possibility of jobs running wrong and/or not at the right time."
"The architecture for patching and the 100% correct reporting makes BigFix stand apart from other solutions."
"It is pretty secure, and it gives extensive vulnerability features as compared to other applications. It supports multiple languages, and the security checks are pretty high as compared to other tools in the market."
"The most valuable point is when you deploy an application, you have to make sure that the application has been deployed to all computers and that is working perfectly. This solution works well at deployments."
"BigFix has drastically reduced the maintenance window period to patch and reboot servers."
"All the vendor patches are synchronized automatically."
"Pre-packaged support for many third-party applications such as Adobe, Google, Mozilla, Sun (Java), WinZip, and others."

"Being able to intelligently create reports, gather data, export CSVs and give that to the leadership of some of the client groups that my team supports has helped my organization."
"Pricing model for distributed should have an Enterprise option."
"More benefits with the agent upgrades, and that's about it. Other than that we have no complaints with it. It's been awesome."
"The visibility and control features are somewhat limited."
"I would like to see the Service Orchestrator, a B2B product, and maybe a process audit."
"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."
"Reduce the number of operational files. This would make the job of a system programmer supporting ESP easier."
"It lacks support and integration with cloud computing platforms."
"I want to see a solution for being able to deploy automated software to a Mac running OS X 10.13, something that's going to deal with kernel exceptions and answering prompts for user permissions for data folders and whatnot. They need to really streamline and automate the Mac software deployment."
"BigFix is actually a little bit on the expensive side in Turkey because of the dollar's exchange rate in our currency."
"Its pricing should be improved. It is too costly."
"The console interface is not friendly, and requires training before using it in production."
"The product lacks AI, ML, and IIT."
"In-place and OS upgrades can be improved."
"The product is quite buggy and complicated to use."
