Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, Tidal Software by Redwood, Redwood Software and others in Workload Automation."The solution includes many features and is scalable and stable."
"The most valuable features are that a lot systems are supported. You can use this for z/OS, Windows, Unix, SAP, etc."
"It will increase all delivery due to an impact on efficiency, in terms of time and faster resources."
"We have a lot of governance and compliance requirements as a bank that we can fulfill with this product."
"It is an easy product to use, and we use it for end-to-end process automation."
"With the automation, we are able to provide background services. It is very economical and not possible to do manually."
"Our customers appreciate it mostly because it takes a lot of effort away from them."
"We are able to control and change our processes when necessary."
"AMPLIFY has all the essential features for managing file transfer."
"It makes a logical link between the inbound/outbound transfer, and makes it clearly visible. This is a very important feature for managing transfer with different environments, and it's very helpful in case of troubleshooting."
"The product is simple for encrypting data transfer of all the assets in our system."
"It’s very flexible."
"Axway consolidated all of our communications into one platform, simplifying network and port management. Now, all we have to do is open one port to this application, and we can remove all the firewall rules on that port. It's much more straightforward to manage from a security perspective. We used to rely on an archaic FTP solution, but Axway features SFTP, so it was an improvement security-wise."
"It is an easy-to-use and stable product."
"Some of the usual features, like calendar details, are now not there."
"We would like to have some features with the AWI with the founding technique, which cannot currently be delivered."
"When you want to use the entirety of Automic, it is heavy."
"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."
"I'm not sure what data they use to make time estimates. However, most of the time it is not accurate. It's either way too long or way too short."
"Our users are used to the flatline of the UC4. When we introduced the AVI, they are not interested nor motivated to use it."
"I should be able to grant a user access to execute a job without having to directly list every include, prompt set, output scan, script, login, etc. An inherited read for execution purposes would accomplish the same results without making the admin list every single object every time, as well as deny the user the ability to edit."
"They need to refine the system basics instead of adding more features."
"The initial setup was quite complex."
"Improvement in Data Encoding would be very appreciated (I'm thinking of ASCII-EBCDIC, ASCII-ASCII, etc.)."
"One area of improvement is troubleshooting. When a transfer fails, they provide little information about the login, which makes troubleshooting difficult. Also, file transfer scheduling is primitive. By that, I mean you can't define a complex schedule, like scheduling a job to run at particular hours multiple times in a day."
"The areas in need of improvement are the monitoring and the cut-off management, when needed. Today you have at least two solutions: Buy the other Axway suite, Sentinel, or integrate it into your monitoring system."
"It is complicated to manage multi-operations, particularly in handling file name changes within file transcripts."
"Sometimes, the application's embedded databases couldn't perform well for a higher volume of data."
"We only hope that they continue to keep updating the solution and improving the offering. They could always do more updates and releases."
