This product is quite stable. There are no issues within the application or with the tool itself becoming unstable.

Head of Batch Scheduling, Senior Vice President at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees

Stability of TWS is relatively good. Notably, most issues I’ve experienced personally have stemmed from distributed schedules, i.e., z-centric.

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.

None! It's indestructible, and if configured correctly, and easily recovered in a disaster scenario.

I have not encountered any stability issues at all. No other IT infrastructure @ our company has proven to be as stable as our TWS v8.5.1/8.6 network and all its components.

We never encountered any stability issues. If your TWS administrator is very good with TWS, then he/she should always keep your TWS landscape stable.

Enterprise Architect at KosaKya

It's very, very stable. The support is quite good. I was totally astonished about the life cycle of this IBM product because a lot of colleagues told me that Control-M is the best scheduler but I have found that it's not true. IBM does a really good job with its product.

System Engineer, Infrastructure at a media company with 1,001-5,000 employees

None; overall the product is very stable, but can give you odd results if the environment is unstable (hardware\network issues). Once the environment issues are resolved and job scheduling has resumed, you might still experience strange behavior with dependency resolution and cyclic job functionality, which typically clears up with the next daily refresh.

Tivoli Workload Scheduler Solution Architect at a non-tech company with 10,001+ employees

There were real stability issues. The WebSphere process gets hung on TWS masters running TWS 9.1. WebSphere is used heavily in our environment and a restart of WAS is really required at least once in a month.

There were some stability issues with older versions we used. There have not been any on the current one (8.6.02) since we started using it, for ~3+ years.
