Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, Tidal Software by Redwood, Redwood Software and others in Workload Automation."The interface is good."
"We have a lot of nightly jobs that need to be run. Therefore, we perform a lot of calculations and processes during nighttime hours."
"The most valuable features of AppWorx Workload Automation are simplicity and reliability. Additionally, they recently transformed the UI which is better."
"It has improved my organization through automation of back office and infrastructure procedures, and by integrating and orchestrating key business applications spanning multiple technology stacks."
"The automated solution is the most valuable piece. Otherwise, we would have to be doing everything manually on every server."
"It is really a robust product."
"Scheduling is a good feature."
"The solution is very user friendly so anyone can use it."
"The capabilities of the product to schedule on multiple platforms, multiple operating systems."
"I find that it provides better agility in regards to job execution features."
"Without this product we would have to manually submit jobs and it would take longer. There would also be a much greater possibility of jobs running wrong and/or not at the right time."
"The most valuable feature of AutoSys Workload Automation is user-friendliness. If someone has some knowledge of the tool they can use it."
"It has improved my organization by automating IT applications."
"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."
"We get better reports than we use to have."
"This solution has made my clients' workplaces a lot less labor-intensive."
"The DWC, when configured correctly, is a great GUI tool to provide Self-Service Scheduling capabilities to the user community."
"I have supported this product in literally 100s of different environments and its unmatched in its ability to scale to any size."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The whole product is valuable because it is a tool for batch automation."
"The project we worked on involved the running of nearly 24,000 job instances in a single day, so I would say that the solution is stable."
"This solution has a request feature where users can request the added features they need to have developed. Based on client voting for those features, these are developed and released."
"The technical support is great, the product is easy-to-use, and it is stable."
"Jobs can be triggered in multiple nodes."
"It is difficult to integrate with the Active Directory (AD)."
"As a general process automation and integration tool, it has been superseded by other offerings, notably the Workload Automation suite."
"The compliance features are limited to the server and not the entire infrastructure."
"We are looking for additional features that would allow us to call APIs and integrate the product with other tools more effectively."
"It is not really scaling per say because they are not putting much into it. They are trying to push their new product."
"The graphical interface is pretty cool but not the best so it could use some improvement."
"The scalability could improve."
"It has been a deprecated product, because it is so old. There has been a couple of new solutions that are a little more advanced."
"Pricing model for distributed should have an Enterprise option."
"Reduce the number of operational files. This would make the job of a system programmer supporting ESP easier."
"CA installation processes are never anything but complex."
"Needs better documentation with fully explained examples for some of the job types."
"Ease of implementation for upgrades."
"The graphical interface can be improved."
"Some support issues need to be addressed, but not through email, through personal contact via phone or WebEx."
"The solution could improve by having support for container environments."
"It should support other schedulers that aren't IBM products."
"The schedule refreshes daily and that's a challenge for us."
"There should be more custom documentation, specifically around Java APIs. There should also be more training. In terms of features, we are currently using only 50% of its features. We don't use all features that are available, but there is always room for improvement in all of the tools."
"The configuration of IBM Workload Automation has some challenges. We have a difficult time customizing it, but it is similar to other solutions."
"It would be helpful to have a mobile app that could be used to follow the job schedule."
"The performance of the previous versions could be better."
"This solution does have bugs and could be improved in this regard. However, these bugs are resolved relatively quickly."
"It is missing some features and can improve in areas where the competition is somewhat better like linking job dependencies."
