"I like that Automic Workload Automation has many features compared to other products. There are a lot of good features, and architecture-wise there is a valuable client concept. The architecture and the multi-tenancy is a multi-client concept. That is also useful."
"It's allowing us to increase our overall volumes of data that we're working with, without actually increasing the overall amount of team that we need to monitor it."
"Compared to other products, the stability is remarkable."
"The workflow allows us to integrate multiple applications into one flow and come up with a business result."
"It is easy to manage and customize the system. It performs well."
"The most valuable feature is it always runs things automatically that you normally have to do manually, like download files."
"It's pretty stable. After implementation, there hasn't been a single event where we shifted our jobs for the day from automated to manual."
"Automation helps us. It makes our lives easier. Anything that can be automated is automated."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of AutoSys Workload Automation is batch processing."
"The capabilities of the product to schedule on multiple platforms, multiple operating systems."
"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."
"It is stable, it works, and it does what it is supposed to."
"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."
"We run millions of jobs through it every day using it for financial transactions, banking, credit cards, PeopleSoft, payroll, etc."
"We automate recurring processes, keeping track of IT processes controlled worldwide."
"There are too many bugs to be solved after a version upgrade. We are working on the limits of an architecture with 16,000 platforms. It is impossible to test everything out in the software lab of CA."
"After the merger, it is getting more American. Now, they do not have support in French and have limited German documentation. This is a critical problem for companies who have older generations who did not have English in school."
"They need to refine the system basics instead of adding more features."
"There could be a better user interface for end users. They should make it more intuitive, not based on Java."
"We have some problems with updates where some functions are changed, so you have to check your whole system to see if everything is still running. The update process for us is around two months of testing and one day of updates."
"The new user interface needs improvement. The previous version was good and stable. Now, we have to check the new one before using a web browser. It is not stable."
"We would like to see more dashboarding into the product, maybe an embedded Java API which we would be able to load on our own."
"The new UI feels unready. It makes your browsers crash."
"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."
"Documentation and cross-application externals could be improved."
"The solution does not have a friendly subscription model because it forces users to take a five-year subscription simultaneously, charging millions of dollars."
"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."
"The GUI/Workstation is weak and needs to be improved. CA is working on this right now."
"Quick search feature and job analysis could be improved."
"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."
"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."
