"It works constantly and is pretty seamless. You do not have to open up many support tickets."
"The customized views that each individual can create, and views that can be made free-form, makes this very popular with the programmers."
"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."
"It has helped to simplify cross-dependency between MVS and Open systems jobs."

Other products have very good workflow-related functionalities such as ActiveBatch that's missing in AutoSys Workload Automation, so I wish the tool had those features."
"There is a slow response time by tech support. Unless, you say it's severity level one. That will give you a two hour timing window for them to call you. It doesn't really happen exactly in two hours, but they try."
