I don't have information on the exact licensing cost of AutoSys Workload Automation because that's managed by the tools and financing teams. For agents, it's close to $4,00, but for the server setup, it's usually a one-time license initially, and it's AMC which is paid every year and comes close to $8,000 to $10,000.

I'm not sure what the exact pricing is. I don't know if it is expensive or reasonable. 

If you looked at the client price, I'd rate the cost five out of five.I heard from recent talks with support that they removed the licensing scheme that we had before. Maybe the rating would be lower now. Before they had this unlimited installation of agents across and service. They've since removed that scheme.

There is an annual license to use AutoSys Workload Automation.

I rate the price of AutoSys Workload Automation a four out of five.

CA pricing has been a problem, and not looked upon favorably here at all.

Well, the product is part of our ELA with CA, but we do have a specific number of licenses we can use for the distributed agents we deploy, so you have to be careful as to what limit you set for number of agents, so you have room to grow in your environment.

I don't really get involved in that part of it. The one thing I would say is that people need to pay attention to how they use their ESP agents on the distributed platform. That's where some of the cost comes in, based on how many you need or how many you use.

When it comes to advice I would say that obviously cost is one factor, I never get involved with that, but cost is a factor. That's a very good question because we recently purchased iDash this year, and it's intended to replace a third party competitor software which we're using right now, and even though iDash was about 15% more, because of licensing and ease of use, that 15% more is more than paid for by the flexibility we have, because the other software we're limited to how many instances we can have of it, and how many jobs it can see - iDash, no limit at all. As many iDash instances as we want, and there's no limited to how many AutoSys environments we're going to be monitoring, and that's a real plus for not only the users but also IT management and upper management as well.

I’m not involved with this aspect of the product.

It is a bit costly. (Again, it all depends on the enterprise and the requirements.)

We paid to use the solution monthly.

I certainly think the pricing is worth the value.

Pricing model for distributed should have an Enterprise option.

Review licensing calculation is based on criteria. I recommend not to license based on the number of jobs.

Everyone has to decide for themselves which licensing model is best suited to their environment.

I’m not involved in this aspect.

Legacy product with dwindling user base and support.

Validate how many agents you need beforehand.

AutoSys Workload Automation has a yearly subscription.

The pricing needs to be improved. Some of my client's complained that it was too expensive.

It is an overpriced solution. 

The price of this solution is reasonable and there is an annual license required.

This product offers more jobs and stability.
