CA Process Automation Valuable Features

As a developer, the biggest time-saver was its import/export features and versioning. Using template-based process objects and code, I was able to make extremely complex changes with a great deal of success and ease across hundreds of objects, which took minutes, as opposed to having to use the GUI, which would have taken days. The ability to import objects as new versions of existing objects, and the ability to make the prior version the current version aided in development, bug fixes, and deployments.

There are several valuable features--

  • The ability to tie together many systems; overall orchestration of these systems.
  • The ability to troubleshoot problem workflows in the middle of execution.
  • We use PA for right-sizing VMs, so changing CPU and memory sizes. If for some reason we can’t connect to it or the VM is set in a certain way where it’s resource limited, it’ll allow us to troubleshoot it instead of failing.

We have a slogan at my company: PAM can do everything.

What I like about it is the user interfaces. I also like the fact that there are so many ways that they offer it -- Web Service connectors, Service Desk connectors, and job descriptions that allow you to build around your design.

PAM is a very powerful tool.

I don't feel like there's a a problem we can't solve if we have to go outside the native product that we are dealing with, whether that's Service Desk or Catalog. If there's something we can't do in those natively, we can always find a way to do it with PAM.

Senior Systems Engineer I at a insurance company with 10,001+ employees

It’s a simple interface to be able to automate our process as needed. It gives us the ability to go into the workflow that had halted for any reason, to research the issue, fix the problem, and continue the workflow. If you’re 600 servers into a 900-server workflow, you don’t have to restart the whole thing.

We're just getting into PAM and we don't have many processes in there, but I have plenty of ideas on what I want to do with it. But what I've used of it, I've seen that the value lies in just being able to automate things such that there's less human interaction with it and, therefore, more consistency in our automations.

Ease of installation and maintenance – the role management functionality. We can do role modeling with our privileged accounts. Because of our type of our organization, we have legal considerations so Process Automation is an appropriate solution for us. For the end users it might be worse, but for the security division you get a lot of control.

If Google could translate ITPAM, it would say “Scalability”. The solution is highly scalable and provides a fault-tolerant environment. The web-based interface allows administrators to quickly see the status and state of each process being executed. The process design is very versatile in a way that adapts to any customer needs/requirements you may have. It gives the developer a bulk of alternatives, such as web services, JavaScript, or simply drag-and-drop technology to create your process.
