We performed a comparison between AutoSys Workload Automation and BMC TrueSight Server Automation based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, Tidal Software by Redwood, Redwood Software and others in Workload Automation."We get better reports than we use to have."
"It is a fairly stable solution."
"We need to have things run in a very sequential order, so it is very useful that we can schedule the work flows."
"The aggregator reporting utility which tells us our throughput in lag and latency."
"It gives a real-time view of all the batch processing that we have. Monitoring-wise, it is really good."
"Automic Automation Engine provides us the ability to map logic using a scripting language."
"It allows you to automate tasks, and reduce headcount, prevent errors, self-heal."
"Easy configuration and integration with SAP."
"With BMC, we even configured applications, like IE or things that were Java-related. When we scheduled the jobs, it worked fine. It saved us time and there was no need for resources to monitor them."
"The ability to script and create BL packages to perform various functions. This makes automating our environment relatively easy to do."
"Technical support is good."
"BladeLogic lets users view the filesystem with minimal authorization to the server."
"Can standardize patching and deployments across affiliates."
"It gives us more speed to deliver services and applications, and we rely on security."
"Among the most valuable features is its flexibility and ability to work across multiple operating systems. Being able to execute some form of data collection and not have to worry about whether I'm working on a Linux box, or a Windows box, or the underlying OS, I can do these collections, get these results, and put them together in a uniform format which makes it easier to present back to management."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"CA Workload Automation is not part of CA's strategic vision going forward."
"The WCC could be improved."
"More benefits with the agent upgrades, and that's about it. Other than that we have no complaints with it. It's been awesome."
"This product needs to improve its graphical user interface."
"SQL server clustering is not supported."
"We are trying to see if we can use this from a cloud perspective with AWS, Azure, and other clouds, but it seems that there is no cloud integration in this product. We would like to see cloud integration. We are very pleased with this solution, but we are moving our application to the cloud, and we found out that it doesn't support any cloud features. So, we are trying to find a replacement."
"Scaling the environment during setup at larger organizations with 10,000 employees gets complicated."
"TrueSight falls short when we are trying to gather large amounts of data from multiple servers. We need to do these tasks manually because there is no option to populate the data and export it to Excel, which is required. For example, let's say I'm trying to find out how many patches are missing on the servers and which ones have been installed. It's hard to automatically pull each server's data in an Excel format."
"BMC TrueSight Server Automation's scripting needs improvement."
"Another area for improvement is group scheduling if I'm trying to do all the servers. For example, if I want to do all the 2012 Servers - since the patches are the same for all of them - I can't do so."
"There is no other functionality available to patch the containers that we need to include."
"Without any knowledge of the product, we used the KB articles to start working. As a result, we definitely did not have full knowledge of BMC BladeLogic... They need to provide a minimum of knowledge with training on YouTube or somewhere else."
"I would like to see more container integration in the next release of this solution."
"I would like to see a better methodology for handling REST calls and integration into the APIs. They add new APIs as they add functions, but they've missed some from older components which they still haven't added in. Some of the APIs are there but the CLI calls are not there."
