We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Both the stability and the scalability of Automic Workload Automation are great.""I like that Automic Workload Automation has many features compared to other products. There are a lot of good features, and architecture-wise there is a valuable client concept. The architecture and the multi-tenancy is a multi-client concept. That is also useful.""It integrates well with the CICD pipeline.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the scheduler.""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.""They just talked about adding support for hundreds of thousands of agents, and I know it goes up to about a thousand clients per engine, so you can do a lot with that. It's a very scalable solution.""We automate very manual, robust tasks, which are very time consuming and not error-free.""Automic Workload Automation is a highly complex yet versatile tool."

"It's very stable. If you ask me for the success rate metrics, it's more than 90% for both.""The product is good functionality-wise. I am impressed with the tool's flexibility in customization.""It has reduced the time taken to go to market. In the past, we were struggling with building these integrations, but now the process has sped up and there is an added advantage of quick delivery. In addition, it is an agent-less solution, which provides more flexibility in terms of multiple options."

Cons
"Every time we have an upgrade for a new version, we have stability problems, because the versions are not as good as they should be.""Choosing Automic Workload Automation essentially locks us into their ecosystem, making it nearly impossible to switch to a different product.""It has a very complicated interface, which could be made to be more user-friendly.""The new UI feels unready. It makes your browsers crash.""The direction in which the UI is going is concerning to me. It does not offer the security context we would need to implement future versions. While I see benefit in the Web UI, the security it would lack in separating a user's experience from an administrator's experience is an issue for us. MFA functionality is required since we're dealing with connectivity to the POS and for PCI/SOX compliance.""ServiceNow creates problems with the Automic entry of the connector, so the stability could be a little bit better with this product.""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.""When you want to use the entirety of Automic, it is heavy."

More Automic Workload Automation Cons →

"There were a lot of scalability issues that we initially faced. Whenever I tried to deploy 100-200 endpoints, it became a huge challenge. We had to actually start using other tools like Tivoli Endpoint Management in order to patch the issues.""The price is an area that should be addressed because the price is high.""The tool's UI needs to be improved. It needs to have better administration features in future releases."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Automatic is heavily integrated in our organization. The cost to change would be a huge factor for us, and we have not found any other product that is better out there."
  • "Do your own proof of concept. Make sure you know what you want. Be clear about what you want the product to do for you. Go out and meet with the vendor, then test it."
  • "The cost of arrays is high. If you want to buy an array for an application, and see value from it, you need about half a million dollars. That is too expensive."
  • "It costs to scale. While, it is scalable, the add-ons are expensive."
  • "It has helped us reduce costs."
  • "You do not need any humans to start jobs, so you can save a lot of money."
  • "We have received a lot of time and cost efficiencies from using the product."
  • "We cannot use all the functions because they are too expensive."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:It is easy to manage complex workloads and use electronic workflow automation.
    Top Answer:The solution was flexible in terms of pricing. We're moving away from it, not due to price, but rather based on our requirements. They did provide us with an unlimited license that matched our budget.
    Top Answer:The AI capabilities and predictive modeling aren't very good. I don't see a future for that. It's very basic. That's part of the reason we moved to Stonebranch. They have more analytic capabilities… more »
