Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, Tidal Software by Redwood, Redwood Software and others in Workload Automation."I find that it provides better agility in regards to job execution features."
"AutoSys Workload Automation is scalable."
"The most valuable feature of AutoSys Workload Automation is user-friendliness. If someone has some knowledge of the tool they can use it."
"Running anything in crontab, you need to put a lot of logic into it to make it work. With this product, you don't have to worry about it. You have the schedule object where you put all the dates or holidays in it, and it does it for you."
"The scheduling feature allows us to know when jobs are going to run and makes sure they run in the order needed."
"This solution has made my clients' workplaces a lot less labor-intensive."
"It has improved my organization by automating IT applications."
"AutoSys Workload Automation is a stable solution."
"I like the data collection."
"Technical support is very helpful and very responsive."
"It does the job and meets our needs. With everybody working remotely these days, we are using this solution to deploy everything. The deployment of PCs is easy."
"It lets you know what your infrastructure is like and what state you are in."
"With the right administrator, application deployment can do wonders."
"SCCM is a stable solution."
"There is a faster time to rollout. If we get a new PC, it can be ready for productivity right away."
"Automation of operating system, application, and update deployments massively reduces IT operations effort."
"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."
"There is a slow response time by tech support. Unless, you say it's severity level one. That will give you a two hour timing window for them to call you. It doesn't really happen exactly in two hours, but they try."
"I would like to see the Service Orchestrator, a B2B product, and maybe a process audit."
"I am looking forward to more of their dashboard features. I think it would be very valuable for us to have dashboard features that could be delivered to our customers in the form of a URL, and they could refresh that URL whenever they wanted to get up to date performance metrics out of our systems."
"Reduce the number of operational files. This would make the job of a system programmer supporting ESP easier."
"We see improvement possibilities in the processing provision of predefined evaluations or individual objects, or in the Self Service portal, which can be used by any user to monitor objects or start objects."
"The solution does not have a friendly subscription model because it forces users to take a five-year subscription simultaneously, charging millions of dollars."
"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."
"I'm looking for a single solution for all discovery needs. It fulfills about 40% of the requirements, and I'd like to see the other 60% so that I don't have to keep doing this."
"In terms of scalability, I believe there's room for improvement. While SCCM is capable of handling our current needs effectively, scalability could be enhanced to accommodate future growth and larger deployments."
"I would like to see an agentless version of the solution."
"I would like to see some improvements in WSUS and control of other, non-Microsoft, product updates."
"The solution does not support remote devices so the CMG is still required."
"I currently need to increase my compliance level in the patching processes which this solution could improve on."
"It is not easy to get good technical support, especially at level one."
"The configuration of Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager could be improved, it is a bit complicated."
