Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, Tidal Software by Redwood, Redwood Software and others in Workload Automation."The capabilities of the product to schedule on multiple platforms, multiple operating systems."
"Automation of patch process."
"The web UI is beneficial and the granular security policies allow us to cover all of our audit requirements."
"It's very easy to work with. The learning curve is not that steep."

"We use CA Workload Automation AE r11.3.6 to automate enterprise-wide scheduling and file transfers using an FTP plugin."
"This solution has made my clients' workplaces a lot less labor-intensive."
"The customized views that each individual can create, and views that can be made free-form, makes this very popular with the programmers."
"BMC support is great. They usually can answer any of our questions in a short amount of time and solve our most complex issues."
"BladeLogic lets users view the filesystem with minimal authorization to the server."
"Technical support is good."
"As this solution provides strong support and has multiple use cases, it is worth the cost."
"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."
"BMC Bladelogic Automation can be used across many OS platforms, providing us flexibility for deployments."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to remediate quickly and efficiently across a number of IT assets at the same time. It takes away manual efforts from the team to go out and fix those vulnerabilities through patching, conflict updates, etc."
"Can standardize patching and deployments across affiliates."
"Documentation and cross-application externals could be improved."
"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."
"Ease of implementation for upgrades."
"This product needs to improve its graphical user interface."
"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."
"The WCC could be improved."
"The reporting system, currently, could be better."
"We have to escalate through channels to get to somebody who knows what's going on. It takes time that we do not necessarily have."
"Provisioning needs to be more user-friendly. We were using BladeLogic for provisioning, but due to a lot of issues and complications, we had to stop using provisioning with this tool."
"TrueSight falls short when we are trying to gather large amounts of data from multiple servers. We need to do these tasks manually because there is no option to populate the data and export it to Excel, which is required. For example, let's say I'm trying to find out how many patches are missing on the servers and which ones have been installed. It's hard to automatically pull each server's data in an Excel format."
"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."
"Without any knowledge of the product, we used the KB articles to start working. As a result, we definitely did not have full knowledge of BMC BladeLogic... They need to provide a minimum of knowledge with training on YouTube or somewhere else."
"There is no other functionality available to patch the containers that we need to include."
"Resource management on the base servers is sluggish and could be improved."
"Needs more use cases into compliance management and the remediation process."
"BMC TrueSight Server Automation's scripting needs improvement."
