Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, Tidal Software by Redwood, Redwood Software and others in Workload Automation."It's a scheduling tool on steroids. We can have a job run at certain times. If it fails, reset it a number of times and then send an e-mail. Send e-mails on any type of event. Calendar creation, schedule things on certain days, year-end stuff, period end. It's endless, really."
"It is flexible. We can do additional scripting in Automic script, in combination with JSL language."
"It is 100% stable. We have no downtime. We have 24/7 production throughout the year."
"It is not possible do our jobs without automation software. Automic is a great help to us."
"The most valuable feature is it always runs things automatically that you normally have to do manually, like download files."
"An important feature is the ability to modify PeopleSoft Run Controls at run-time."
"We do not have different automated silos. We have one view for our operators, which are doing things 24/7, and need just one interface, not multiple ones."
"Our company uses it to connect different systems."
"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 product is good functionality-wise. I am impressed with the tool's flexibility in customization."
"It's very stable. If you ask me for the success rate metrics, it's more than 90% for both."
"ServiceNow creates problems with the Automic entry of the connector, so the stability could be a little bit better with this product."
"It would be better if it was easier to view the automated processes."
"The stability is not as good as it was in former years. Stability has gone down from version to version."
"I would also like to see a little bit more connectivity, more, "Play nice with other toys." For instance, we have IServ as our primary tool for our service request tickets. In order for it to play nice with Automic, we had to actually create a file and put it somewhere, where Automic can see it. I would like to see more connectivity with other tools, or more compatibility with other tools."
"It is a bit of a problem, because they like to do email ping-pong via their web page. Sometimes, it would be much easier if someone would call you on the phone."
"They should work to reduce pricing."
"We would like to have token-based authentication. Where we do not have to use a password, and can use tokens for authentication in other systems."
"From my point of view, the current product needs more stability."
"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 price is an area that should be addressed because the price is high."
"The tool's UI needs to be improved. It needs to have better administration features in future releases."
