We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Automation helps us. It makes our lives easier. Anything that can be automated is automated.""The most valuable feature is the one for SAP batch processing... There are certain other mid-level workload automation tools which can handle the OS level, but SAP is something which is really very critical. Automic stands out from the ordinary tools because handling SAP processes is absolutely easy with it.""We use it to automate our business.""It is 100% stable. We have no downtime. We have 24/7 production throughout the year.""Our customers appreciate it mostly because it takes a lot of effort away from them.""We have seen a cost improvement from it.""We are able to control and change our processes when necessary.""With the automation, we are able to provide background services. It is very economical and not possible to do manually."

"It has reduced the time taken to go to market. In the past, we were struggling with building these integrations, but now the process has sped up and there is an added advantage of quick delivery. In addition, it is an agent-less solution, which provides more flexibility in terms of multiple options.""The product is good functionality-wise. I am impressed with the tool's flexibility in customization.""It's very stable. If you ask me for the success rate metrics, it's more than 90% for both."

Cons
"For the user interface of version 12.1, I cannot find a lot of utilities and objects from previous versions, making me change my habits. This is not good.""Documentation is not great. It was previously much better.""In terms of what can be improved, we are in Israel, so we work in Hebrew. Now they are starting to move it also from English to Hebrew and to support the language, but for us it has been very difficult because the Hebrew looks like gibberish. So there are language issues.""There could be a better user interface for end users. They should make it more intuitive, not based on Java.""I would like to see the event engine in the next release.""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 web-based edition is missing a lot of the most important features available in Automic, we have absence. For example, when I'm scheduling a job, there is normally a flag that you can toggle to activate and deactivate the task, but that doesn't work properly in the web version. It's missing a lot of the calendar and scheduling features.""They need to handle cross datacenter failover. They have a really good High Availability solution that works well within a single sysplex, but in our environment, since we have two main datacenter locations, we have two separate sysplex."

More Automic Workload Automation Cons →

"There were a lot of scalability issues that we initially faced. Whenever I tried to deploy 100-200 endpoints, it became a huge challenge. We had to actually start using other tools like Tivoli Endpoint Management in order to patch the issues.""The tool's UI needs to be improved. It needs to have better administration features in future releases.""The price is an area that should be addressed because the price is high."

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 »
