AutoSys Workload Automation Stability
I would rate the stability of AutoSys Workload Automation nine out of ten. We occasionally encounter minor bugs, but critical issues that impact the core functionality of the product are rare. I sleep soundly knowing the system is reliable.

AutoSys Workload Automation is ninety-nine percent stable. In a year, it's rare for my team to see issues with it, and that's even mostly due to the infrastructure. As a product, AutoSys Workload Automation is very stable, and robustness is one of its strengths.
View full review »The stability has been good in my experience. I don't recall dealing with bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable and the performance is good.

The solution is stable. there are no bugs or glitches. It does not crash or freeze. It's reliable.
We had a few issues, however, the issues were more on the infrastructure rather than with the application itself.
View full review »Stability of the product is excellent, I'd give a very high score to that.

It is stable.
View full review »What I like about the product is, we've had issues at the infrastructure level, regarding components that stopped seeing each other, or they got out of sync regarding, say, the database communications. Once the system reestablishes itself, you don't have to worry about if something happens in your infrastructure regarding, “Oh my God, my jobs are going to get out of sync.” The system does a really good job of piecing current status together and giving you accurate results. That's a good stability piece.

I rate AutoSys Workload Automation ten out of ten for stability.

ESP is rock solid. It is as reliable as it gets.
It has issues and is not entirely stable. For example, the graphical interface is not 24/7 for us.
View full review »When we first installed ESP, we had a few issues with the ability of jobs to have their status reported across sysplexes.

It is very stable.
View full review »It's extremely stable. We put in the Canadian systems about three years ago, and we have not had an incident in the three years that has kept us down for more than a couple of hours.
Support has been really good. If we need to call somebody, generally they're on the line in a few minutes, and we get right into the diagnostics and we're set to go again. Extremely stable; the agents are perfect. They never give us a problem at all. The servers are getting awfully close.
View full review »Stability has been good since we took release 11.36. Before that, we had release 11.35. That was somewhat stable. We had growing pains because we switched over from a different scheduling tool.

Stability is rock solid. We haven't had any major issues with it, not even minor issues. It's been good.
It's pretty stable. In the eight years I've been doing this, I've had three major outages. One of them was self-inflicted. One of them, I'm not really sure what happened. The other one was, the database ran out of resources.
We're expected be up all the time, 24/7/365. I'm always available. Really the only time I've had outages were some sort of hardware failure. The product itself has always been very, very stable, and extremely easy to upgrade. We've been able to keep it up-to-date and make sure that we're able to take care of it.
One specific thing is, we've all moved to Oracle Exadata. I am probably one of the few systems that handles all of the database node rolling really, really well. It freezes for a couple of seconds, and then it comes right back. Every time they're like, "We're doing maintenance. We have to shut down nodes." I'm like, "That's fine; we're good. You don't even have to tell me about it. It will take care of it."
The system is very, very stable and reliable.
View full review »In terms of stability, it’s pretty much always up. The solution stays running. We do have our company-wide scheduled outages, but that's the only time it comes down at this point. We are working towards a better solution for constantly being up and CA is working with us on that. We just converted to version 12, and that's a step in the direction of keeping the solution up.

It seems pretty stable. We have had issues in the past and we have worked through support to minimize any downtime. Again, with the failover solution, we are able to stay working 24/7.
View full review »It's very stable. It's highly redundant. It's, like I said, very recoverable, within the batch work and it's easy to use.

View full review »So far, the stability has been great. We do have a couple minor issues with some of the agents, as far as release is concerned, but other than that it's a very stable product.
Stability is actually why we selected this solution, for being able to support high availability. Otherwise, we wouldn't go to a single instance of it across the company.
View full review »It seems stable, as far as I know. It's been around for awhile, so it's a good product. From our testing, it's been fine. We have a failover situation as well that we've tested; so it's worked fine for us.

View full review »One of the biggest strengths is the stability of the product.
View full review »The problem has not been with workload, we do have some server outages. Also maintenance times of other products. Workload Automation is dynamic enough to put jobs in pending or put servers offline, until we get ready to bring them on. As soon as they go back online, the server's jobs start rescheduling themselves again. It's a dynamic product, it's been stable and we've never had a real outage with the product.
We have it right now operating in something called dual server mode. If we lose one end of it or one processor, the other side takes over and it picks up from where it left off. It's an always up situation. If we have to throw it back to the primary then we take it down, do an amendments window, do a quick switch over to the primary and let it keep operating.
We never really miss a beat.

He basically became a resident expert for us for three months. He basically enhanced the whole workload, and improved all those workflows for us. After that, it has been running very smoothly for us.
