A user friendly solution that makes it easy to submit and view jobs

The most valuable feature of Micro Focus Cloud Service is how user-friendly the solution is. Traditionally, when we use a mainframe system to submit jobs, we have to see the spool or any error we might get in the spool. It is very command-based and uses a green screen, which is not user-friendly. Micro Focus enterprise makes it easy to submit and view jobs. We just have to log into the particular portal, go to the catalog and view any files we want. The same can be said about submitting jobs. We know what JCL we want to submit, give it the path, and then submit it with no command required. It is very user-friendly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus Cloud Service is how user friendly the solution is."

"The tool's most valuable feature is life cycle management."

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

"The product is good functionality-wise. I am impressed with the tool's flexibility in customization."

"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."

"It's very stable. If you ask me for the success rate metrics, it's more than 90% for both."

Cons

"I would like fewer restrictions as a software tester."

"OpenText Cloud Service Automation needs to incorporate easier installation. It should improve skills and quality of support."

"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."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"OpenText Cloud Service Automation's pricing is average."

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

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