Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is reliable. We have never had any unplanned crashes.""The functionality is great, the scripting language is very powerful. They can adapt to most use cases. Very good community of different companies and a user base so when we have problems we can go to other people.""Our company uses it to connect different systems.""It's easy to train other people. A new developer could come in and learn it very quickly.""Number one, A+, is the scripting language, and the ability to go in, and take an already robust, consistent, strong tool, and turn it into an incredibly scalable, flexible tool, that you can literally do anything you want to with.""We have seen a cost improvement from it.""The most valuable parts are the scalability and flexibility, where you can do whatever you think, then you can realize it in the product and have many ways to do it.""The workflow allows us to integrate multiple applications into one flow and come up with a business result."

Cons
"I would like a good AWI in the next release. The AWI is not fully functional at this time.""The frustration that we have probably had in the past is where CA tools run for a period of time, then they get deprecated, and you have to build a new one.""The manage file transfer area could be better. The file transfer area needs improvement. Other products like Control-M have some good features in this area.""The user interface could be a little more user-friendly, as it is not the best out there.""I am heading up the AWI. I desperately miss the possibility to show my read-only users on the Explorer side only their folders, not all the folders.""It is a bit of a problem, because they like to do email ping-pong via their web page. Sometimes, it would be much easier if someone would call you on the phone.""The pricing has the potential to be high.""Automic Workload Automation could improve the SaaS deployment."

"We have difficulties manipulating the agent for Windows.""The technical support could be improved by removing delays in response times. They should be able to get back to clients faster."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Automatic is heavily integrated in our organization. The cost to change would be a huge factor for us, and we have not found any other product that is better out there."
  • "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."
  • "The cost of arrays is high. If you want to buy an array for an application, and see value from it, you need about half a million dollars. That is too expensive."
  • "It costs to scale. While, it is scalable, the add-ons are expensive."
  • "It has helped us reduce costs."
  • "You do not need any humans to start jobs, so you can save a lot of money."
  • "We have received a lot of time and cost efficiencies from using the product."
  • "We cannot use all the functions because they are too expensive."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:It is easy to manage complex workloads and use electronic workflow automation.
    Top Answer:The solution was flexible in terms of pricing. We're moving away from it, not due to price, but rather based on our requirements. They did provide us with an unlimited license that matched our budget.
    Top Answer:The AI capabilities and predictive modeling aren't very good. I don't see a future for that. It's very basic. That's part of the reason we moved to Stonebranch. They have more analytic capabilities… more »
