Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Jobs can be triggered in multiple nodes.""The support from Cisco is very good. I was with them as a company for 40 years""Technical support from IBM is very good.""The project we worked on involved the running of nearly 24,000 job instances in a single day, so I would say that the solution is stable.""This solution has a request feature where users can request the added features they need to have developed. Based on client voting for those features, these are developed and released.""The whole product is valuable because it is a tool for batch automation.""Provides a robust, full spectrum enterprise-wide WLA platform.""The DWC, when configured correctly, is a great GUI tool to provide Self-Service Scheduling capabilities to the user community."

Cons
"The performance of the previous versions could be better.""Slow down on the releases a bit. I fully understand that IWA functionality is increasing at an amazing rate, but trying to keep up with the upgrades is rough.""It is missing some features and can improve in areas where the competition is somewhat better like linking job dependencies.""It would be helpful to have a mobile app that could be used to follow the job schedule.""It should support other schedulers that aren't IBM products.""This solution does have bugs and could be improved in this regard. However, these bugs are resolved relatively quickly.""The configuration of IBM Workload Automation has some challenges. We have a difficult time customizing it, but it is similar to other solutions.""The schedule refreshes daily and that's a challenge for us."

More IBM Workload Automation Cons →

"Its API management capabilities need improvement.""Looping through complex data structures can be difficult.""The initial setup can be a little bit difficult.""In the past few months, there have been some server downtimes during work hours that have affected some critical scheduled integrations.""I know with Salesforce updating the UI like they did, it slowed it down a lot.""Sometimes we experience disconnections and I have to close all Jitterbit programs.""I would like the ability to offer a dedicated cloud version for security.""Sometimes additional connectors are needed."
