Helps to move away from manual tasks and offers wide platform support and web-based interface
Customers want to move away from manual monitoring and checking processes. Automating these processes helps in time-saving and reduces human error. When you automate business processes, it reduces mistakes. It eliminates the risk of manual errors such as typos. There is a 20% to 30% reduction in human error. It fulfills all the needs when it comes to visibility and control across various operating platforms. It is the perfect product for managing processes that span multiple operating platforms. Automic Automation has the widest platform support compared to other products, such as Control-M, Tivoli from IBM, or Stonebranch. It definitely helps with compliance processes. We have had a lot of customers for two years with a focus on compliance, and it works. They were successful. Due to the fact that our customers can automate a lot of things, it reduces operating costs. It is hard to give a number because the savings are different for each customer. If a customer never had any automation, there could be about 80% savings after implementing Automic Automation, whereas for a customer who already has automated tasks, the difference will be less by adding Automic Automation. They might see 5% to 10% more savings. Automic Automation helps improve our ability to meet SLAs. In the recent versions, SLA management has been integrated, which previously was an external component. Because a lot of customers used it and asked Broadcom to implement SLA management into the workload engine, Broadcom included it. We see more and more customers running their SLA management via the Automic Automation product.

Helps us manage complex workloads, reduce our workload failure rates, and save us time
The visibility and control features are somewhat limited. This is a recognized weakness, but thee vendor is currently revamping the user interface to address it. While the current UI is a bit outdated, it's undergoing improvement. AutoSys Workload Automation has some areas for improvement, particularly in housekeeping and product maintenance. These tasks are currently quite manual and labor-intensive for our team. Additionally, the reporting and forecasting functionalities could be more robust. One area for improvement with AutoSys Workload Automation is that it comprises several distinct tools configured to work together. This necessitates familiarity with multiple tools for effective solution management. Consequently, it can sometimes lack a sense of cohesiveness as a unified solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"They just talked about adding support for hundreds of thousands of agents, and I know it goes up to about a thousand clients per engine, so you can do a lot with that. It's a very scalable solution."
"The solution is integrated across all applications and platforms in our company. We can provide everything from the very first data source to the data target in one immense code."
"Being able to script, create something I want the software to do for a specific job. This allows me to do that. Very powerful."
"Scalability is good."
"Automic Automation's primary advantage over competitors lies in its robust SAP integration."
"We have seen a cost improvement from it."
"We have a lot of governance and compliance requirements as a bank that we can fulfill with this product."
"We use it to automate our business."
"It works constantly and is pretty seamless. You do not have to open up many support tickets."
"We automate recurring processes, keeping track of IT processes controlled worldwide."
"​It allows you to automate tasks, and reduce headcount, prevent errors, self-heal."
"This solution enables us to improve our daily processing times. We can do everything faster than before we used this solution."
"The benefits I have seen from AutoSys Workload Automation are significant; I would say it is about ease of administration."
"The ability to create calendars, calendering for batch jobs to run on a scheduled frequency."
"From an orchestrator perspective, it simplifies your workflow and job flow."
"Integration with multiple services and applications across the enterprise."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more stability in the product and have the transition between versions be more seamless."
"We would also like improved SLR monitoring. There are SLR objects, but I can't define an SLR object plus one, or end days. I can only do it for one day. As we are time shifting to another day, it is not possible. This should be improved."
"Some of the usual features, like calendar details, are now not there."
"There are some scripting elements that could be added."
"We would like to have some features with the AWI with the founding technique, which cannot currently be delivered."
"During installation, some database elective issues popped up. These took some time to fix, but after some back and forth communication, these issues were resolved."
"There has to be a better way to visualize things in the application without having so many windows open."
"An area for improvement would be SQL performance. While tracing SQL traffic, we noticed a lot of commands that cause contention/locks as well as forced waits. The efficiency of the SQL could be greatly improved (in some cases by simply replacing nested Selects and using NOLOCK hints)."
"Pricing model for distributed should have an Enterprise option."
"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."
"The WCC could be improved."
"Some support issues need to be addressed, but not through email, through personal contact via phone or WebEx."
"AutoSys Workload Automation could improve the integration."
"Performance improvements in the UI would be appreciated."
"CA Workload Automation is not part of CA's strategic vision going forward."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Do your own proof of concept. Make sure you know what you want. Be clear about what you want the product to do for you. Go out and meet with the vendor, then test it."
"Its price is way up there with BMC. It is a little bit on the expensive side."
"There are different licensing fees for cases where high availability is important."
"The pricing of Automic Automation varies depending on the specific contract terms."
"Certain licenses can be a bit expensive. The PeopleSoft agents, in particular, are a bit pricey."
"Every time there is a task which must be repeated, the solution can reduce costs."
"They have increased the license price a little bit. It is more than what we expected about two years ago. So, there could be some surprises when it comes to pricing."
"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"There is an annual license to use AutoSys Workload Automation."
"People need to pay attention to how they use their ESP agents on the distributed platform. That's where some of the cost comes in, based on how many you need or how many you use."
"We paid to use the solution monthly."
"It is overpriced."
"I certainly think the pricing is worth the value."
"The return on investment would be very high because doing things manually without this product would be extremely expensive."
"CA pricing has been a problem, and not looked upon favorably here at all."
"The pricing needs to be improved. Some of my client's complained that it was too expensive."
