"The ability to be able to automate more of our business processes."
"Workload Automation's most valuable features are perspective analytics and coding."
"The most valuable features of AutoSys Workload Automation are the file transfer protocol and file watcher. The solution has a user-friendly user interface. It is very simple to use. You have a scope of all your jobs, jobs are what you call tasks that you will automate in the solution. It lets you monitor everything in these jobs."
"The aggregator reporting utility which tells us our throughput in lag and latency."
"It is very valuable for us when we are trying to arrange or orchestrate jobs into a system. It is helpful for triggering jobs for a scheduled task."
"The features that I have found most valuable with AutoSys are that it is scalable, easy to use, fast, and always available. That's very important because if it's not steady then it's a real problem. So, at this point, we are satisfied with it."
"The scheduling feature allows us to know when jobs are going to run and makes sure they run in the order needed."
"We get better reports than we use to have."
"Automic Automation Engine provides us the ability to map logic using a scripting language."
"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."
"ServiceNow creates problems with the Automic entry of the connector, so the stability could be a little bit better with this product."
"When there's an error or a problem, the automation part of it could be easily programmed to escalate it up to the developers or whoever is going to work on it. We had to home-grow that within the product because third-party products are so expensive."
"From my point of view, the current product needs more stability."
"The forecast and long-term planning could be made a little better when you work with it in the future."
"I would like a good AWI in the next release. The AWI is not fully functional at this time."

"This solution's out-of-box automation sets could be improved. They could be industry standardized out-of-box, or even runbook automation processes could be useful—just some plug-and-play automation processes out-of-box. It has many integration capabilities, from APIs to databases, but if the customer sees some out-of-box automation processes in it, it could be useful."
"Some of the things we don't do are mainly because we don't know how to do them. Hands-on training can be expensive, so we find other ways to work around things to forgo the hands-on training. It is also an issue because we are a Linux shop and most trainers are Windows-based."
"The cross-platform arena, where you can run work on multiple platforms, needs improvement."
