I am currently conducting research on scheduling tools including Control-M, IBM Workload Automation, Stonebranch, and potentially Redwood. We are doing proof of concept evaluations currently. I have extensive experience with AutoSys Workload Automation, having worked directly with Computer Associates. The solution is completely event-driven, operating continuously until stopped or failed. It integrates easily with IT infrastructure and is easily configurable with VCS. For high availability, AutoSys Workload Automation is excellent. I have been working in my current field for eight years. Overall, I would rate AutoSys Workload Automation 8 out of 10.

PeerSpot has mentioned almost 20 to 30 tools. Workload automation tools scale from different levels. They start with very simple requirements: controlling, monitoring, the ability to do service-oriented architecture frameworks and full-stack solutioning, and ready integrations and automations. There are many different characteristics and attributes. Some tools highlight different characteristics and some have more prominent features in different geographies. I rate AutoSys Workload Automation a nine out of ten.

I will recommend Autosys. However, in the current scenario, there are better products available in the market. This is my personal feedback. I feel there are other products that provide more functionality, although I do not have comprehensive knowledge about the robustness or pricing of Autosys. The overall product rating is seven out of ten.

Overall, I would rate AutoSys Workload Automation at six out of ten. The licensing cost is high compared to alternatives like GitHub. Although it is above average, improvements in monitoring features and API integrations could enhance its usability.
I would rate AutoSys Workload Automation eight out of ten. From a maintenance perspective, large solutions like AutoSys Workload Automation, which are in constant use, accumulate obsolete and outdated elements. This necessitates a significant investment of manual effort from our team to remove them, as the product itself lacks automated cleanup functions that span all of its different constituent components. An automated solution for this task would be highly beneficial. We have AutoSys Workload Automation hosted in the UK. But the workloads are scheduled across the UK and in different areas of the world as well. We have around 3,000 users. I recommend doing a proof of concept to understand how AutoSys Workload Automation works compared to its competitors. While it operates slightly differently from most other tools in the market, a POC will help you get familiar with its functionality. Once you've completed the POC, you'll likely find that AutoSys is easy to set up and use.

I'm a solution architect, so I implement and support AutoSys Workload Automation. I'm working with the latest version of AutoSys Workload Automation which is R12. My team didn't have any problems maintaining AutoSys Workload Automation. There's no issue as long as the server and infrastructure are kept in place and as long as the latest version of the product is running. Most of the customers who still use AutoSys Workload Automation have been using it for a very long time, for example, ten or twenty years. Newer customers probably go for cheaper solutions such as Tidal because it has more capabilities, aside from being more affordable, versus AutoSys Workload Automation. My advice to anyone looking into implementing AutoSys Workload Automation is that the decision should be based on the use case, what you're looking for, and your skill set. You should have a resource who has good knowledge of AutoSys Workload Automation because learning the tool also takes a bit of time. It all depends on the use case. For example, for banking or for a customer who has more file transfer requirements, AutoSys Workload Automation would be the best solution. I would rate AutoSys Workload Automation as seven out of ten because new products do much better in the automation niche compared to AutoSys Workload Automation.

This product has been bought by Broadcom, and Broadcom does not have enough dedicated resources to further develop this product. I don't see any major features, versions, or functions being added to this product in the future. I don't think the vendors would be willing to spend resources on top of it. I would rate it a nine out of 10. We really like the product and its functions. It works, and we like its stability, scalability, and robustness. It is a very reliable product, but it lacks future enhancements. We haven't heard of any cloud initiative for this product.

On a scale of one to ten, for the part that we are currently using, I can give AutoSys Workload Automation an eight. I would recommend this product for other users who want to start using it depending on their needs. I'm still investigating what the new version provides in the future, based on technology, so it is difficult to answer that question.
AutoSys is out of line with the latest trends of the IT industry, like the quick searching and things like that. It requires special skills which you have to develop in your team in order to manage it. That said, it's an excellent product and will give you the functionalities that you need. I would rate this solution a six out of 10.

I would not say this is for a large shop, but for a small shop it is overpriced.
Consult onsite support for the first implementation. Errors made at the beginning can only be corrected with great effort afterwards.
