Dynamic workload balancing facilitates efficient job scheduling and ensures continuity with a master-slave setup

Pros

"I recommend IBM Workload Automation as it's a well-established and stable product."

A user-friendly solution used for network automation but need architecture refinement

Pros

"It offers features like MDM and a Windows workstation, although there are some technical dependencies. It is more user-friendly and also includes failover and failback capabilities. While both systems offer high availability, Control-M's high availability is superior to AWS's."

Cons

"IBM needs to move away from its native terminology and adopt a more cloud-centric approach. "

An intuitive dashboard with user-friendly interface and a holistic view that automatically schedules the production workload

Pros

"The most valuable feature of IBM Workload Automation is its holistic view, which helps me find technical solutions quickly. For instance, if a customer has an issue completing their workload within a specific time frame, the tool provides enough information to identify and resolve the issue. One of the main challenges is dealing with data infrastructure problems and pending updates. Workload Automation helps me leverage current AI capabilities to recommend architectural updates to avoid these issues. It also allows me to balance CPU usage effectively, ensuring service level agreements are met. The interface is user-friendly and facilitates this process smoothly. "

Cons

"To improve IBM Workload Automation, I suggest enhancing automation features further, as more automation would be beneficial. The product is good enough for my current customers, but improving technical support and pricing would be welcome. We often need quicker responses and better solutions than we can manage manually. These improvements would make the product even better. "
