Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, Tidal Software by Redwood, Redwood Software and others in Workload Automation."It allows you to automate tasks, and reduce headcount, prevent errors, self-heal."
"The ability to create calendars, calendering for batch jobs to run on a scheduled frequency."
"It can run an object on our Windows systems or our Unix systems, and then send messages to the other system when they are complete."
"I find that it provides better agility in regards to job execution features."
"The scheduling feature allows us to know when jobs are going to run and makes sure they run in the order needed."
"We automate recurring processes, keeping track of IT processes controlled worldwide."
"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."
"Automic Automation Engine provides us the ability to map logic using a scripting language."
"The ability to script and create BL packages to perform various functions. This makes automating our environment relatively easy to do."
"The most important feature is the schedulings."
"Scalability is good."
"It makes deployment easier and allows us to put restrictions on the server using role-based authorization."
"BladeLogic lets users view the filesystem with minimal authorization to the server."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"As this solution provides strong support and has multiple use cases, it is worth the cost."
"Ease of implementation for upgrades."
"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."
"A better graphical user interface, because we have a lot of people using the client utility, and we want to get them away from that."
"CA Workload Automation is not part of CA's strategic vision going forward."
"The visibility and control features are somewhat limited."
"The WCC could be improved."
"CA installation processes are never anything but complex."
"Documentation and cross-application externals could be improved."
"I would like to see more container integration in the next release of this solution."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Scaling the environment during setup at larger organizations with 10,000 employees gets complicated."
"We've had to increase RAM and CPU processing in order to alleviate some of the sluggishness during patching."
"There is no other functionality available to patch the containers that we need to include."
"The number of APIs available within the tool needs improvement. At the moment, we have a couple of different scanning tools used within the organization, but only one of those is integrated back into Server Automation. There is another tool that they use in another part of the business where it doesn't have an out-of-the-box adaptor for it. We would have to go and create or develop something bespoke to be able to integrate it with that scanning tool. Whereas, with the other scanning tool, there was an API available. To make it easier, I would like to have more APIs available for different scanning tools within that line of business."
