Easy to set up, good support, and helps to decrease project costs
We are using this solution to migrate to other projects With the mainframe environment that we have, it is more similar to the HCL migration, or the workload scheduler.  We also like the CWHC utilities; they are more current and under the umbrella of HCL. It reduces project risks. Easy to set up,…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We use it to automate our business."
"We use it in every aspect of our IT operations, and the scalability is very good."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that we can control between a lot of operating systems and other products because we have a lot of old and new products in our environment. It helps us to control all of them together."
"It is an easy product to use, and we use it for end-to-end process automation."
"We have all of our payroll being done in the platform. There are a lot of different processes that need to be taken care of, and they all need to be linked together. When you put them into a workflow, and you know that you've built logic into that workflow, and you have alerting, it's something you can step back from. You don't have to be worried about every single piece of that puzzle. If something goes wrong, you have confidence that some alerting will let you know. It streamlines, it makes things go faster, less eyes on glass."
"We can take something from crontab, something that's very nitty-gritty and low-level, and be able to put it into a nice interface, and be able to track it at every junction along the way, add alerting, interdependencies."
"Without automation, it would be nearly impossible to do all the jobs that we are doing."
"It's pretty stable. After implementation, there hasn't been a single event where we shifted our jobs for the day from automated to manual."
"Easy to set up, it doesn't require a lot."
 

Cons

"It has a very complicated interface, which could be made to be more user-friendly."
"I would like to see the event engine in the next release."
"ServiceNow creates problems with the Automic entry of the connector, so the stability could be a little bit better with this product."
"With every new version, things that would previously work, Automic breaks them. So, we have to report the new bugs. Therefore, every time when we patch the system, there is usually a new bug or a feature that was working, then it stops working."
"It is very difficult to migrate. The release automation should be in one package."
"There is a problem with the installation translation. It is some type of hybrid. We have some parts in German and some in English. It should be completely in German and completely in English. It should be better in the future."
"I would not recommend using Automic's technical support for complex problems."
"I would like more training on workload automation, because I do not have a complete insight of the product yet."
"The interface needs some improvements."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have increased efficiency with this application."
"You do not need any humans to start jobs, so you can save a lot of money."
"We have received a lot of time and cost efficiencies from using the product."
"We cannot use all the functions because they are too expensive."
"The cost of arrays is high. If you want to buy an array for an application, and see value from it, you need about half a million dollars. That is too expensive."
"It has helped us reduce costs."
"The pricing of Automic Workload Automation varies depending on the specific contract terms."
"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

Questions from the Community

What do you like most about Automic Workload Automation?
It is easy to manage complex workloads and use electronic workflow automation.
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Automic Workload Automation?
The solution was flexible in terms of pricing. We're moving away from it, not due to price, but rather based on our requirements. They did provide us with an unlimited license that matched our budget.
What needs improvement with Automic Workload Automation?
The AI capabilities and predictive modeling aren't very good. I don't see a future for that. It's very basic. That's part of the reason we moved to Stonebranch. They have more analytic capabilities...
