Technical Lead at Natwest

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 While the current UI is a bit outdated, it's undergoing improvement.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.

Works

The service level and automated capacity manager functions allow us to control priorities, support SLA's and manage our 4HRA and reduce MLC for some software bills.

There currently is a WUI that allows an operator a single pane of glass to see how TM is performing to meet service policies within a JESMAS environment. This is a new feature and multiple individuals have expressed desire to not only see real time monitoring, but the ability to historically go back at least several hours or possibly an entire day to review history.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The flexibility in solving job scheduling challenges allows us to successfully integrate an acquired business’ fiscal close with our own, even though there is a lot of variance as to when they run in the calendar month."

"I find that it provides better agility in regards to job execution features."

"Automation of patch process."

"The customized views that each individual can create, and views that can be made free-form, makes this very popular with the programmers."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the functions are easy to use."

"We use technical support all the time. We would be lost without them. They're fantastic. Really good job. We're able to reach the right person to help us out right away."

"Easy configuration and integration with SAP."

"It streamlines processing really well, so we're able to cut down on our processing times."

More AutoSys Workload Automation pros

"The integration of IMS commands is very useful, because you do not have to switch to another tool to problem solve solutions."

"Enabled me to solve production problems faster or even avoid them preemptively with warnings."

Cons

"They could do better supporting it. They have too many of the same type of products, so sometimes it doesn't get as much attention as it should."

"An area for improvement in AutoSys Workload Automation is that it lacks advanced features or advanced built-in functionalities found in competitors, for example, an advanced workflow feature. Even the handling or notification from AutoSys Workload Automation isn't the best in the industry. Other products have very good workflow-related functionalities such as ActiveBatch that's missing in AutoSys Workload Automation, so I wish the tool had those features."

"The WCC could be improved."

"Documentation and cross-application externals could be improved."

"Since Broadcom acquired it, the prices have increased. Many companies feel the same way and are looking for alternate solutions to replace AutoSys Workload Automation."

"Quick search feature and job analysis could be improved."

"Some of the reports are either a bit hard to understand or don’t give you what you might expect to see."

"Autosys is still lagging behind some competitive products from a functionality perspective."

More AutoSys Workload Automation cons

"An expansion for distributed systems would be great, but probably not workable."

"More visualisation and support for mobile devices would be good."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing needs to be improved. Some of my client's complained that it was too expensive."

"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."

"I certainly think the pricing is worth the value."

"It is overpriced."

"I don't have information on the exact licensing cost of AutoSys Workload Automation because that's managed by the tools and financing teams. For agents, it's close to $4,00, but for the server setup, it's usually a one-time license initially, and it's AMC which is paid every year and comes close to $8,000 to $10,000."

"Validate how many agents you need beforehand."

"There is an annual license to use AutoSys Workload Automation."

More AutoSys Workload Automation pricing and cost advice

"If you already use other products from BMC, you might be able to get a package deal from BMC's sales department."
