Antony Askew

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 While the current UI is a bit outdated, it's undergoing improvement.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

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It works constantly and is pretty seamless. You do not have to open up many support tickets."

"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."

"Without this product we would have to manually submit jobs and it would take longer. There would also be a much greater possibility of jobs running wrong and/or not at the right time."

"We don't have to manually run things anymore. We can have the work that a team of 50 people would do, all inside of one platform."

"The initial setup is easy."

"Running anything in crontab, you need to put a lot of logic into it to make it work. With this product, you don't have to worry about it. You have the schedule object where you put all the dates or holidays in it, and it does it for you."

"I prefer AutoSys over the other ones out there for ease of use, ease of understanding, and getting people to understand how the tool works."

"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."

More AutoSys Workload Automation pros

"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."

"The community is very powerful, with extensive knowledge bases available."

"In my environment, if I want to shut down all tools in one shot, I can create a workflow and run the workflow to shut down all tools in one go."

Cons

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

"The solution does not have a friendly subscription model because it forces users to take a five-year subscription simultaneously, charging millions of dollars."

"The WCC could be improved."

"I am looking forward to more of their dashboard features. I think it would be very valuable for us to have dashboard features that could be delivered to our customers in the form of a URL, and they could refresh that URL whenever they wanted to get up to date performance metrics out of our systems."

"Most AutoSys Workload Automation customers are moving because of cost; it is more cost intrusive."

"The cross-platform arena, where you can run work on multiple platforms, needs improvement."

"Performance improvements in the UI would be appreciated."

"The GUI/Workstation is weak and needs to be improved. CA is working on this right now."

More AutoSys Workload Automation cons

"I would prefer the addition of ready-made workflows for common scenarios such as Oracle database switchovers or Exchange server scenarios."

"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 price is an area that should be addressed because the price is high."

"Only the tool's support can be a drawback where improvements are needed."

"The tool's UI needs to be improved. It needs to have better administration features in future releases."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We paid to use the solution monthly."

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

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

"It is overpriced."

"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."

"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."

"The price of this solution is reasonable and there is an annual license required."

More AutoSys Workload Automation pricing and cost advice

"The tool is expensive. I rate the tool a six if one is cheap and ten is very expensive."

"I do not have experience with the pricing or licensing of the product."

"The cost is very high compared to anything else available."
