The project we worked on involved the running of nearly 24,000 job instances in a single day, so I would say that the solution is stable.

This solution has a request feature where users can request the added features they need to have developed. Based on client voting for those features, these are developed and released.

The most important feature is the creation of folders. It's a really great feature because you can organize the process with naming conventions.

It is missing some features and can improve in areas where the competition is somewhat better like linking job dependencies.

Slow down on the releases a bit. I fully understand that IWA functionality is increasing at an amazing rate, but trying to keep up with the upgrades is rough.

There should be more custom documentation, specifically around Java APIs. There should also be more training. In terms of features, we are currently using only 50% of its features. We don't use all features that are available, but there is always room for improvement in all of the tools.

The configuration of IBM Workload Automation has some challenges. We have a difficult time customizing it, but it is similar to other solutions.
