Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, Tidal Software by Redwood, Redwood Software and others in Workload Automation."It's pretty stable. After implementation, there hasn't been a single event where we shifted our jobs for the day from automated to manual."
"The solution helped us fix issues and optimize them. We now run with zero errors."
"The most valuable feature is that it can be installed on any type of application on every kind of operating system and the agent can use it on these applications and systems."
"We use it in every aspect of our IT operations, and the scalability is very good."
"I like the script engine of CA, where you can build everything you want."
"The monitoring and troubleshooting features are rich and with the dashboards and other features, automation work is made easier."
"We use it to automate our business."
"We do not have different automated silos. We have one view for our operators, which are doing things 24/7, and need just one interface, not multiple ones."
"Server Automation's best feature is automated patching. It also helps us automate compliance and report generation. We can even integrate TrueSight Server Automation with a vulnerability management solution to remedy vulnerabilities by applying patches, deploying scripts, or changing registry entries."
"It makes deployment easier and allows us to put restrictions on the server using role-based authorization."
"Among the most valuable features is its flexibility and ability to work across multiple operating systems. Being able to execute some form of data collection and not have to worry about whether I'm working on a Linux box, or a Windows box, or the underlying OS, I can do these collections, get these results, and put them together in a uniform format which makes it easier to present back to management."
"BMC Bladelogic Automation can be used across many OS platforms, providing us flexibility for deployments."
"With BMC, we even configured applications, like IE or things that were Java-related. When we scheduled the jobs, it worked fine. It saved us time and there was no need for resources to monitor them."
"The solution is stable."
"Scalability is good."
"The most important feature is the schedulings."
"When you want to use the entirety of Automic, it is heavy."
"I would like to see the event engine in the next release."
"The web-based edition is missing a lot of the most important features available in Automic, we have absence. For example, when I'm scheduling a job, there is normally a flag that you can toggle to activate and deactivate the task, but that doesn't work properly in the web version. It's missing a lot of the calendar and scheduling features."
"I would not recommend using Automic's technical support for complex problems."
"They should work to reduce pricing."
"In talking with other customers as well, they would like to see a few enhancements done where you can pull in outside data sources to get a cumulative view from one centralized place."
"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."
"We would like a way to test our cloud-based automations on-premises, and then migrate them to the cloud after they have been tested, without needing an additional license."
"BMC TrueSight Server Automation's scripting needs improvement."
"Needs more use cases into compliance management and the remediation process."
"There is no other functionality available to patch the containers that we need to include."
"I would like to see more container integration in the next release of this solution."
"Another area for improvement is group scheduling if I'm trying to do all the servers. For example, if I want to do all the 2012 Servers - since the patches are the same for all of them - I can't do so."
"The setup of this suite is very complicated. It needs to be simplified."
"We would like to see this solution handle more multitasking."
"We've had to increase RAM and CPU processing in order to alleviate some of the sluggishness during patching."
