Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, Tidal Software by Redwood, Redwood Software and others in Workload Automation."The initial setup is easy."
"AutoSys Workload Automation is scalable."
"It gives us flexibility when doing releases. We can make changes for one day in a PDS member, since we stage our jobs by date, and the next day the normal job definitions are run."
"It's very easy to work with. The learning curve is not that steep."
"It streamlines processing really well, so we're able to cut down on our processing times."
"It has allowed us to automate many of the functions of our operations staff. For instance, we had production control staff spending two hours a day entering date parms into our daily business processes. And now, CA Workload Automation does it for us."
"I find that it provides better agility in regards to job execution features."
"We automate recurring processes, keeping track of IT processes controlled worldwide."
"The solution is continuously adding more integrations to help with workflows and bot and task creation."
"I actually quite liked the no-coding functionality."
"The licensing of the product is very good. You only need to license it once and then you have it forever."
"The interface is simple, user-friendly, and very intuitive."
"I find it very user-friendly. Our IT department and other departments can seamlessly collaborate without requiring extensive training. As a business department, we particularly value this aspect, as our team doesn't consist of many IT users. However, we couldn't solely rely on a drag-and-drop approach to implement and utilize the solution within our departments."
"It gives us a central place to schedule tasks and run them distributed."
"The most valuable features for my client are timing and scheduling."
"A great feature that you seldom see in these kind of systems is the ability to use a database as trigger to launch a task. This is something I asked for a few years ago and that was added."
"Ease of implementation for upgrades."
"Pricing model for distributed should have an Enterprise option."
"CA Workload Automation is not part of CA's strategic vision going forward."
"A better graphical user interface, because we have a lot of people using the client utility, and we want to get them away from that."
"The visibility and control features are somewhat limited."
"There is a slow response time by tech support. Unless, you say it's severity level one. That will give you a two hour timing window for them to call you. It doesn't really happen exactly in two hours, but they try."
"We see improvement possibilities in the processing provision of predefined evaluations or individual objects, or in the Self Service portal, which can be used by any user to monitor objects or start objects."
"I would like to see two-factor authentication, since you see a lot of companies in the news for security breaches. That is a really big thing for us."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and easier to navigate."
"The OCR for Hebrew text needs to be improved."
"It would be an improvement if Automate had better stability tools, whether by recommending a certain amount of memory because it can be a memory hog at times."
"The documentation for errors needs improvement as many of the error messages we receive are very vague."
"I would like to see some better web automation, a wizard like the one in the product WinAutomation would be very nice."
"The solution has a very weak knowledge base."
"There is room for improvement regarding cloud functionality; there are a few missing features, and the logging could be better, especially air logging. We can go into logging events and create our own task, but it would be nice if this were more detailed."
"The technical support could be better. We suffer from language barriers, as we are in Argentina."
