Gökhan YENİGÜN - PeerSpot reviewer
Microsoft Azure Technical Consultant at Gsy Bilişim
Has improved workflow automation and reduced manual tasks while offering room for simpler deployment
Azure Automation brings many benefits to my company and my customers' companies because many jobs can be converted automatically through an AI agent to complete tasks. PowerShell and Python scripting capabilities assist us significantly in developing tailored automation at 90% efficiency. I have utilized Azure Automation runbooks. We don't create new runbooks because some runbook templates simplify our business processes and tasks effectively.

The community is very powerful, with extensive knowledge bases available. There are ready-made workflows, integration with other products, a nice user interface, and reporting. The tool is flexible, agent-based or agentless. It allows significant automation and has robust orchestration and reporting capabilities. It is easy to configure and use, leading to increased efficiency across our IT processes.

Pros

"Azure Automation brings many benefits to my company and my customers' companies because many jobs can be converted automatically through an AI agent to complete tasks."
"The best features of Azure Automation help us automate tasks for the customer and eliminate a significant amount of manual work."
"The most valuable part of Azure Automation is that it is a platform providing features that can be custom-used, with very wide functionalities, and the user-friendly nature and available technology can be simply applied to different technologies."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Automation is the scripting."
"The community is very powerful, with extensive knowledge bases available."
"Time savings with automation. We've gone from weeks to deploy systems to minutes."
"The ease of use is most valuable."
"We have reduced the amount of time it would take to resolve an incident or to send an escalation to a customer, and it has saved us many man hours."
"The centralization of the administration is what's most valuable for us."
"The product is good functionality-wise. I am impressed with the tool's flexibility in customization."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the sustainability and the simplicity around the usage."
"HP provides ready to use automation libraries for almost all the IT process automation tasks with no extra cost."
 

Cons

"Sometimes when integrating with third-party tools, we cannot find the proper API and must perform manual work, which requires additional development on our end."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"Deployment with Azure Automation can be challenging at times, though sometimes it is very easy."
"Technical support could be improved."
"Simple things are missing – being unable to easily capture flow inputs in an automated fashion is one (I shouldn’t have to write an SQL query for this)."
"There are automation tools out there that are more unified -- network, database, servers. Operations Orchestration doesn't do everything and you need to buy other components for other tasks."
"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."
"We have used technical support and we've had our ups and downs with them."
"We have had some issues with memory usage, but that's something that we beefed up and made the system more robust."
"But what I would like are more functionalities around code release."
"From 1 – 10 – I think HP is about a 4. Support can be slow and frustrating."
