Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, Tidal Software by Redwood, Redwood Software and others in Workload Automation."Automic Workload Automation is a highly complex yet versatile tool."
"I like the script engine of CA, where you can build everything you want."
"It saves my customers time, money, resources, and efficiency."
"The company can expand with this product. Every time I bring in new ideas for solutions, it is with this product."
"We have seen big improvements in automation and automated tasks allowing our people to work on more important things for the company, as well as getting financial data quicker."
"It helps our efficiency because it is a batch processing tool which works without a menu."
"The most valuable features are the predefined templates for application-specific jobs and the access for different users."
"The most important and critical process business in the bank, including COB, closed or business, which has to run on a daily basis, is automated."
"It gives us more speed to deliver services and applications, and we rely on security."
"Server Automation's best feature is automated patching. It also helps us automate compliance and report generation. We can even integrate TrueSight Server Automation with a vulnerability management solution to remedy vulnerabilities by applying patches, deploying scripts, or changing registry entries."
"The ability to script and create BL packages to perform various functions. This makes automating our environment relatively easy to do."
"As this solution provides strong support and has multiple use cases, it is worth the cost."
"The product's valuable feature is its ability to conduct patching for multiple servers simultaneously."
"The solution is stable."
"It makes deployment easier and allows us to put restrictions on the server using role-based authorization."
"BMC support is great. They usually can answer any of our questions in a short amount of time and solve our most complex issues."
"There are pain points, like anything else. Sometimes, things they say work, and sometimes, they don't work. You need to find out why they don't work and then go back and have them fixed."
"The scalability is limited by the SQL in the background, and that is a problem."
"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."
"The web-based edition is missing a lot of the most important features available in Automic, we have absence. For example, when I'm scheduling a job, there is normally a flag that you can toggle to activate and deactivate the task, but that doesn't work properly in the web version. It's missing a lot of the calendar and scheduling features."
"Our area with the CA solution for DR is not really concerning directly to Automic, but to all of the DevOps, a word which is something that everybody is trying to touch on today in their daily business. There is also some gap that's a little bit hard to understand or to implement because not all the organizations are the same. When you are adopting DevOps, you may need to be more flexible in your processes."
"The direction in which the UI is going is concerning to me. It does not offer the security context we would need to implement future versions. While I see benefit in the Web UI, the security it would lack in separating a user's experience from an administrator's experience is an issue for us. MFA functionality is required since we're dealing with connectivity to the POS and for PCI/SOX compliance."
"There is one missing part in the product concerning recurring tasks. You can schedule a recurring task by a context action, and run it as recurrent, but it creates a time container which can be quit and disappears."
"We would like to have token-based authentication. Where we do not have to use a password, and can use tokens for authentication in other systems."
"Needs more use cases into compliance management and the remediation process."
"Scaling the environment during setup at larger organizations with 10,000 employees gets complicated."
"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."
"There is no option to see all the servers we patch and we cannot find what the server status is. Of course, we can what has been completed and what is pending and which servers have failed, but we cannot find server status from the BMC tool. For example, is the RDP up or not. We are using separate scripts for that."
"The architecture is big, so the initial setup is not a straightforward task."
"A better CLI Database cleanup tool would help us with our regular maintenance of BladeLogic Server Automation."
"I would like to see more container integration in the next release of this solution."
"BMC TrueSight Server Automation's scripting needs improvement."
