Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, Tidal Software by Redwood, Redwood Software and others in Workload Automation."We get better reports than we use to have."
"AutoSys Workload Automation is scalable."
"It has helped to simplify cross-dependency between MVS and Open systems jobs."
"The ability to create calendars, calendering for batch jobs to run on a scheduled frequency."
"It can run an object on our Windows systems or our Unix systems, and then send messages to the other system when they are complete."
"Easy configuration and integration with SAP."
"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."
"The scheduling feature allows us to know when jobs are going to run and makes sure they run in the order needed."
"It makes deployment easier and allows us to put restrictions on the server using role-based authorization."
"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."
"BMC support is great. They usually can answer any of our questions in a short amount of time and solve our most complex issues."
"Technical support is good."
"The solution is stable."
"It gives us more speed to deliver services and applications, and we rely on security."
"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 most important feature is the schedulings."
"AutoSys Workload Automation could improve the integration."
"Ease of implementation for upgrades."
"Performance improvements in the UI would be appreciated."
"We see improvement possibilities in the processing provision of predefined evaluations or individual objects, or in the Self Service portal, which can be used by any user to monitor objects or start objects."
"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."
"The solution could improve by having support for container environments."
"Some support issues need to be addressed, but not through email, through personal contact via phone or WebEx."
"They could do better supporting it. They have too many of the same type of products, so sometimes it doesn't get as much attention as it should."
"We would like to see this solution handle more multitasking."
"The setup of this suite is very complicated. It needs to be simplified."
"Scaling the environment during setup at larger organizations with 10,000 employees gets complicated."
"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."
"BMC TrueSight Server Automation's scripting needs improvement."
"I would like to see more container integration in the next release of this solution."
"We've had to increase RAM and CPU processing in order to alleviate some of the sluggishness during patching."
"The number of APIs available within the tool needs improvement. At the moment, we have a couple of different scanning tools used within the organization, but only one of those is integrated back into Server Automation. There is another tool that they use in another part of the business where it doesn't have an out-of-the-box adaptor for it. We would have to go and create or develop something bespoke to be able to integrate it with that scanning tool. Whereas, with the other scanning tool, there was an API available. To make it easier, I would like to have more APIs available for different scanning tools within that line of business."
