Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, Tidal Software by Redwood, Redwood Software and others in Workload Automation."The flexibility in solving job scheduling challenges allows us to successfully integrate an acquired business’ fiscal close with our own, even though there is a lot of variance as to when they run in the calendar month."
"It is very valuable for us when we are trying to arrange or orchestrate jobs into a system. It is helpful for triggering jobs for a scheduled task."
"It has allowed us to automate many of the functions of our operations staff. For instance, we had production control staff spending two hours a day entering date parms into our daily business processes. And now, CA Workload Automation does it for us."
"We get better reports than we use to have."
"It is a fairly stable solution."
"The customized views that each individual can create, and views that can be made free-form, makes this very popular with the programmers."
"It can run an object on our Windows systems or our Unix systems, and then send messages to the other system when they are complete."
"This solution has made my clients' workplaces a lot less labor-intensive."
"I have found the solution scales well."
"They can do any provisioning for the virtual machines. For instance, they will only see those resources if we allocate 10 Ghz database storage. The limitation is due to our setup: we need to ensure customer isolation, as vCloud Director supports multi-tenancy."
"vCloud Director requires less knowledge to get into in the first place. Therefore, when we bring in new members of staff, we can always give them the customer experience straightaway, and they can pick it up quite easily."
"There are various options for scaling and that flexibility is a good option."
"The initial installation and setup are very quick."
"The stability of the product is better than just 'good.'"
"I like the functionality that's available with Orchestrator. The platform stability stuff that I would be involved in worries me from the automation side because you have a lot less hands-on control of things. Price point, it kind of puts us off."
"vCloud Director is a scalable solution, and we have 10 customers who use it."
"The visibility and control features are somewhat limited."
"The WCC could be improved."
"The lack of documentation, that is an issue. When we do need to bring it down for maintenance, it is always a scary moment for us because we have never had it crash."
"We see improvement possibilities in the processing provision of predefined evaluations or individual objects, or in the Self Service portal, which can be used by any user to monitor objects or start objects."
"I would like to see the Service Orchestrator, a B2B product, and maybe a process audit."
"CA installation processes are never anything but complex."
"Ease of implementation for upgrades."
"Because this product only computes processing days, it is hard when things need to be scheduled according to non-processing days."
"Lacks integration with the hyperscalers."
"vCloud Director should include better billing options for businesses like mine or more options for customers to see their usage and billing situation regarding the usage of vCloud Director."
"The solution requires a lot of hardware and resources for cloud deployment than other competitors. Additionally, the performance could improve."
"Database services need to go beyond what they are currently doing."
"vRealize Orchestrator is an expensive tool."
"Sometimes, there is a disconnection that happens between vCloud Director and its underlying VMware vCenter, where the actions are supposed to be taking place, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Technical support needs to improve its skills and respond to queries faster."
"The reason we moved to Microsoft Intune was because of the license cost of VMware. It's very expensive."
