Azure Automation Reviews

The typical use cases for Azure Automation are business automations, workflows for virtual machines or cloud environments, and automatic triggers for workflows, which we are currently using.

Azure Automation brings many benefits to my company and my customers' companies because many jobs can be converted automatically through an AI agent to complete tasks.

PowerShell and Python scripting capabilities assist us significantly in developing tailored automation at 90% efficiency.

I have utilized Azure Automation runbooks.

We don't create new runbooks because some runbook templates simplify our business processes and tasks effectively.

Deployment with Azure Automation can be challenging at times, though sometimes it is very easy.

In terms of deployment installation, it requires improvement to be less complicated.

I have been using Azure Automation for seven years.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Microsoft support as eight.

I have a technical team that assists with the installation of Azure Automation, but I can do it myself if needed.

There are twenty people in our team.

They are cloud engineers.

Azure Automation is beneficial in terms of finance because we can organize the financial issues; sometimes the customer pays, sometimes we pay, and then we invoice the customer.

It is a bit expensive when comparing it to others.

Some scenarios or architectures require third-party tools or third-party cloud providers, and approximately 10% of our project can use these.

Approximately 10% of our customers use AWS and other providers.

I'm working with various products.

I am familiar with Azure Marketplace and Azure Automation, including Language Understanding.

It takes a couple of hours for my team to deploy the product, though sometimes complicated products take one to two days.

On a scale of 1-10, I rate Azure Automation as 8.

I experienced no challenges or issues when I deployed Azure Automation; the deployment was successful.

In future updates, I believe more AI functionality could be added to Azure Automation, as AI is becoming increasingly prevalent across all solutions.

Sometimes when integrating with third-party tools, we cannot find the proper API and must perform manual work, which requires additional development on our end. We encounter these issues occasionally.

I have experience with UiPath. We initially worked with it before transitioning to Azure.

The setup process for Azure Automation is very easy. It is part of the Microsoft licensing, making it user-friendly for most companies that run Microsoft as their core office software.

The licensing pricing for Azure is quite good at the moment, making Microsoft products fairly accessible.

I have compared Azure Automation with other vendors' products. Initially, it wasn't as good, but Microsoft has made it a market leader in automation.

An example of a main competitor for Azure Automation is UiPath and similar products.

Azure is better than UiPath because its progression has been faster.

I currently work with SAP, but I haven't stopped working with that vendor at all. My involvement is cross-technology, so I'm exposed to S/4HANA and other technologies, which are very different from a couple of years ago.

Currently, I am working for a consultancy that is agnostic to technology, so tactically and strategically we provide implementation or knowledge on various technologies including Microsoft, Business Central, Project Operations, SAP, and Board, which are different and linked to various business areas.

Mostly I am working with Microsoft solutions now. In the last recent year, Microsoft is the technology with which we have the most exposure on current implementations, including both Business Central and Project Operations.

I have been working with Microsoft Business Operation for approximately a year and a half.

I am working with different products on Azure, as it is the platform we use to implement various types of solutions, including automation, IPA, and artificial intelligence.

Other colleagues work with Azure File Storage, Blob Storage, and App Services, as these are more related to cloud work.

I am working with Azure Automation, which is a process automation tool.

While we have used the alerts and scheduling functions in Azure Automation very often, I am not able to judge or review their effectiveness.

Integrating Azure Automation with other Azure services is very easy because there are pre-integration tools available that can be easily integrated with different technologies.
