We performed a comparison between Automic Continuous Delivery Automation and AutoSys Workload Automation based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, GitLab, Red Hat and others in Release Automation."We have saved on our time costs and have seen more quality."
"The event monitor is very good. You can monitor when the file is created so you can pick up the file once it's done."
"Self-service for developers, because they are able to deploy to development departments on their own, without needing people from operations."
"It is an umbrella system that allows us to integrate many different systems into our heterogeneous environment."
"The metrics gathered after deployment, for example, the rate of success versus the rate of failure."
"You can design your workflows for your needs."
"The IT process automation is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"It provides a wonderful user interface which is easy to use."
"The CA workload agent has gotten much better. For our organization it's important for us to communicate in a secure fashion between the host and the other platforms, and we are able to do that with our CA product"
"The most valuable feature of AutoSys Workload Automation is user-friendliness. If someone has some knowledge of the tool they can use it."
"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."
"Inherit Dependencies feature reduces scheduling errors for holiday processing."
"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."
"The ability to create calendars, calendering for batch jobs to run on a scheduled frequency."
"We need to have things run in a very sequential order, so it is very useful that we can schedule the work flows."
"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."
"There is an issue with the stability in the tool. The process of agent will stop, then the monitoring agent can't be recognized because the process is running, but you can talk with the system."
"The stability of the solution can be improved."
"I would like to see more support for WebSphere."
"We hope that we can integrate the new CD Directive into our portfolio, so we can bring the deployment and release management closer together."
"key thing is support for cloud-based deployment. That is lacking."
"One of the biggest features I've been asked by my team to put in there is opening more scripting languages to be part of the platform. There is a little bit of a learning curve in learning how to code some of the workflows in Automic at this time. If widely used languages like Perl and Python were integrated, on top of what's already there, the proprietary language, it would make it easier to on-board new resources."
"At the moment, the version that we are using (version 12.0), the environment is complex with multiple installations. Therefore, the monitoring is not scalable, but this should be improved in 12.1 and 12.2."
"The dashboard should allow you to see the current state of packages in each environment, not only on an individual application basis, but across the entire application platform."
"Reduce the number of operational files. This would make the job of a system programmer supporting ESP easier."
"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 WCC could be improved."
"An area for improvement in AutoSys Workload Automation is that it lacks advanced features or advanced built-in functionalities found in competitors, for example, an advanced workflow feature. Even the handling or notification from AutoSys Workload Automation isn't the best in the industry. 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."
"This product needs to improve its graphical user interface."
"I am not sure whether it is our limitation or a tool limitation because we haven't yet explored it, but whenever we look for different types of reporting, we have some limitations in getting those. It could be because of the way we have set it up internally in our enterprise, but it would be helpful if we can customize the reporting features and some of the alerts that can go out. When we connect enterprise systems, each one looks for a different use case, and if we can get different types of reporting, it will be helpful."
"It would be helpful to be able to monitor and manage workload windows so we could minimize downstream applications. This would allow us easier access to the applications."
"In terms of what should be in the next release, I want integration and AI and so on. I'd like easy reporting where you can compare information, for example, "that job normally takes three minutes and last time it took six minutes or 10 minutes." Then you can get the information to the engineer of which job is taking more time than normal - understanding strange behavior compared to the baseline."
