"We have everything in one system."
"We automate very manual, robust tasks, which are very time consuming and not error-free."
"I like the script engine of CA, where you can build everything you want."
"Our customers appreciate it mostly because it takes a lot of effort away from them."
"Support is good and it works fine."
"We have two nodes that are highly available. You can add new nodes if you need that. You can take a node, a total node, down and still be operating fine. It has a lot of scaling to it."
"The very special feature that we use is the connection to ServiceNow."
"We are able to control and change our processes when necessary."
"The actual scheduling of our jobs has helped us tremendously. Before it was all done manually, and we've totally automated the whole functionality, so there's no longer a case where somebody didn't run something."
"We don't have to manually run things anymore. We can have the work that a team of 50 people would do, all inside of one platform."
"CA Workload Automation AutoSys Edition is one of the most powerful schedulers that you have on the open systems, or going between Window servers; to be able to schedule and take advantage of the different powers that the automation has with it."
"The flexibility in solving job scheduling challenges allows us to successfully integrate an acquired business’ fiscal close with our own, even though there is a lot of variance as to when they run in the calendar month."
"The CA workload agent has gotten much better. For our organization it's important for us to communicate in a secure fashion between the host and the other platforms, and we are able to do that with our CA product"
"The initial setup is easy."
"It is stable, it works, and it does what it is supposed to."
"It is a fairly stable solution."
"There are too many bugs to be solved after a version upgrade. We are working on the limits of an architecture with 16,000 platforms. It is impossible to test everything out in the software lab of CA."
"If you're getting deep into some of these workflows, you may have 20 different windows open and, if you didn't already have that deep understanding of how enterprise orchestration works, it would be very overwhelming to get up to speed on something like that... It needs some way to minimize the amount of windows and get it to where you could have all the information you need available on the screen."
"The new user interface needs improvement. The previous version was good and stable. Now, we have to check the new one before using a web browser. It is not stable."
"For power users, it does not work well for them at the moment."
"There are some scripting elements that could be added."
"In most of the packages available, it took time to study and gain knowledge of the features and resources due to poor documentation."
"When you want to use the entirety of Automic, it is heavy."
"I would not recommend using Automic's technical support for complex problems."
"This product needs to improve its graphical user interface."
"SQL server clustering is not supported."
"More benefits with the agent upgrades, and that's about it. Other than that we have no complaints with it. It's been awesome."
"Ease of implementation for upgrades."
"I would like to see two-factor authentication, since you see a lot of companies in the news for security breaches. That is a really big thing for us."
"I am not sure whether it is our limitation or a tool limitation because we haven't yet explored it, but whenever we look for different types of reporting, we have some limitations in getting those. It could be because of the way we have set it up internally in our enterprise, but it would be helpful if we can customize the reporting features and some of the alerts that can go out. When we connect enterprise systems, each one looks for a different use case, and if we can get different types of reporting, it will be helpful."
"I would like to see the Service Orchestrator, a B2B product, and maybe a process audit."
"Needs better documentation with fully explained examples for some of the job types."
