Featured Reviews

Srikanth Gubba - PeerSpot reviewer
Automation boosts efficiency with a user-friendly interface
Currently, I have switched to negotiating through third-party vendors for licensing, which has made it more expensive. Broadcom should address this by dealing directly with customers again. Licensing fees have increased as they charge based on executions rather than user agents, causing higher costs. Technical support also involves third-party interactions, complicating direct assistance from Broadcom.
Daniele Folatelli - PeerSpot reviewer
It's a reliable solution that gets a lot done quickly
I work a lot with the support side when there are issues. I see a lot of confusion about the various licenses. The licensing model is somewhat complicated. The product license has to be installed. Sometimes, when a license is expiring and I need a new one, it's hard to understand where those licenses are in the guest support portal. I've discussed this with ASG, and they've acknowledged that it's too complicated. It has had an impact. It's not that the product doesn't work, but we get messages from the user worried that the product will run out of support and their whole operation will be affected.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The interface is good."
"We have a lot of nightly jobs that need to be run. Therefore, we perform a lot of calculations and processes during nighttime hours."
"AppWorx isn't limited to Unix or Linux. We can set it up in Windows, AWS, or Azure environments. It's not dependent on any one particular environment."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"Atomic Applications Manager is user-friendly and accommodates around 100 users who can monitor and run their jobs effectively."
"The automated solution is the most valuable piece. Otherwise, we would have to be doing everything manually on every server."
"It is really a robust product."
"AppWorx Workload Automation's simplicity and powerful functionality are its most valuable features for us."
"Two features are valuable. One is Rocket Zeke's ability to integrate with the mainframe, which is the main processor using the agent. It works on any computer, so users don't have to wait. They can use their laptop or any other way to connect and securely access all the necessary information. The other valuable feature is automation, which is an integral part of batch processing."
 

Cons

"Reporting, forecasting and intelligence could be improved."
"The scalability could improve."
"Currently, I have switched to negotiating through third-party vendors for licensing, which has made it more expensive. Broadcom should address this by dealing directly with customers again."
"The internal security model can be complex when configuring multiple user groups."
"The graphical interface is pretty cool but not the best so it could use some improvement."
"AppWorx Workload Automation does not support mainframe environments, which limits its use for larger and older organizations like ours that still rely on mainframes."
"The compliance features are limited to the server and not the entire infrastructure."
"The current setup process can be a bit much for users."
"I work a lot with the support side when there are issues. I see a lot of confusion about the various licenses. The licensing model is somewhat complicated. The product license has to be installed. Sometimes, when a license is expiring and I need a new one, it's hard to understand where those licenses are in the guest support portal. I've discussed this with Rocket Zeke, and they've acknowledged that it's too complicated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are satisfied with the pricing."
"The price for annual licenses is a bit expensive so pricing is rated a two out of ten."
"The cost model is based on the number of orchestrated systems used."
"Licensing options are fairly straightforward."
"I don't make purchasing decisions, but the decision-makers tell me they don't switch to other solutions because this one has the price they need. Pricing is part of their decision to stick with this product."
