"It is really a robust product."
"Scheduling is a good feature."
"It has improved my organization through automation of back office and infrastructure procedures, and by integrating and orchestrating key business applications spanning multiple technology stacks."
"The automated solution is the most valuable piece. Otherwise, we would have to be doing everything manually on every server."
"We have a lot of nightly jobs that need to be run. Therefore, we perform a lot of calculations and processes during nighttime hours."
"It is an object-based approach to task and process design in conjunction with conditional logic and event-based scheduling actions, which enables a build once/use often design methodology to be employed."
"The most valuable features of AppWorx Workload Automation are simplicity and reliability. Additionally, they recently transformed the UI which is better."
"It's a general solution that you can adapt to your own needs and is simple to use. We like that it can be integrated with everything in the AWS suite, and that the creation of the pipeline can be done using the graphical user interface."
"What I like the most about Amazon Step Functions is how easy it is to use."
"The solution is stable...The solution is easy to scale."
"AWS Step Functions acts as a high-level layer, allowing us to seamlessly integrate with microservices."
"The integration capability is easy, whereas building state machines is tricky."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The number of historical events is great."
"It's Amazon, it's scalable."
"It is not really scaling per say because they are not putting much into it. They are trying to push their new product."
"The graphical interface is pretty cool but not the best so it could use some improvement."
"The compliance features are limited to the server and not the entire infrastructure."
"We are looking for additional features that would allow us to call APIs and integrate the product with other tools more effectively."
"It has been a deprecated product, because it is so old. There has been a couple of new solutions that are a little more advanced."
"As a general process automation and integration tool, it has been superseded by other offerings, notably the Workload Automation suite."
"The internal security model can be complex when configuring multiple user groups."
"The scalability could improve."
"The interface can sometimes feel limited, as we're unable to see what AWS is running behind the scenes."
"The solution's data size limit can be improved."
"The solution's pricing could be cheaper. It is cheaper than Airflow."
"It wasn't easy to understand the licensing model. It's like if you use just a little, it's cheap, but it becomes more expensive as you use more. It's like a hook that ties you inside the Amazon ecosystem. So, it creates a dependency."
"The price and support are areas with shortcomings where the solution needs to improve."
"Setup took about one day. We had some errors to understand in the beginning, but now everything is working good."
"I would like to see more data transformation features in Amazon Step Functions like additional operators and logic."
"It is hard to coordinate the declaratory language."
