Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, Tidal Software by Redwood, Redwood Software and others in Workload Automation."The actual scheduling of our jobs has helped us tremendously. Before it was all done manually, and we've totally automated the whole functionality, so there's no longer a case where somebody didn't run something."
"The scheduling feature allows us to know when jobs are going to run and makes sure they run in the order needed."
"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."
"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 solution has been stable."
"It has allowed us to automate many of the functions of our operations staff. For instance, we had production control staff spending two hours a day entering date parms into our daily business processes. And now, CA Workload Automation does it for us."
"The capabilities of the product to schedule on multiple platforms, multiple operating systems."
"We use CA Workload Automation AE r11.3.6 to automate enterprise-wide scheduling and file transfers using an FTP plugin."
"It helps ensure security across our cloud environments."
"Technical support is great. They help us 24/7."
"The most valuable feature of vCloud Director is virtualization."
"The most valuable feature of vCloud Director is the scaling architecture that they have built."
"The most valuable features are the UI, the interface, and accessibility."
"The most valuable features are the multi-tenancy and multi-site configuration."
"vCloud Director has improved our organization in so far as it is an easy solution to sell. I believe this is the case due to the fact that it is an easy tool to manage and to configure."
"The most valuable feature of vCloud Director is its ability to host customers on their own cloud."
"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."
"It lacks support and integration with cloud computing platforms."
"The WCC could be improved."
"The graphical interface can be improved."
"SQL server clustering is not supported."
"We have to escalate through channels to get to somebody who knows what's going on. It takes time that we do not necessarily have."
"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."
"There is a difference between a web interface and the thick client interface. We particularly like a thick client interface, and it has gone away."
"There are some shortcomings. There are bugs with opening support."
"It would be beneficial to have enhanced integration capabilities with third-party solutions within vCloud Director, especially in networking and data security."
"vCloud Director should improve by having support with other cloud providers, such as Microsoft Azure and Google cloud."
"I had issues with the support, but I also learned from the support. There is room for improvement in the response time."
"vCloud Director isn't cheap."
"The product could use a billing feature so we can automate billing for clients."
"Lacking additional services reduces the level of cloud integration companies just love with Amazon and Azure."
"The reason we moved to Microsoft Intune was because of the license cost of VMware. It's very expensive."
