"I use this automation solution, because it is very flexible. This automation solution supports a lot of computer platforms. Also, a lot of operating systems are supported other than automation solutions."
"We do not have to use a broad variety of agents to connect to different types of systems."
"The initial setup was quite simple because they have a manual which tells you in a simple way of how to install it step-by-step."
"I like the script engine of CA, where you can build everything you want."
"The most important and critical process business in the bank, including COB, closed or business, which has to run on a daily basis, is automated."
"It is 100% stable. We have no downtime. We have 24/7 production throughout the year."
"We impose some standards for backup and restore operations."
"You can create very fine, granular workflows with a lot of possibilities. It gives you the possibility to do things in many ways."
"Without this product we would have to manually submit jobs and it would take longer. There would also be a much greater possibility of jobs running wrong and/or not at the right time."
"CA Workload Automation AutoSys Edition is one of the most powerful schedulers that you have on the open systems, or going between Window servers; to be able to schedule and take advantage of the different powers that the automation has with it."
"It streamlines processing really well, so we're able to cut down on our processing times."
"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."
"The solution has been stable."
"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."
"Automation of patch process."
"The actual scheduling of our jobs has helped us tremendously. Before it was all done manually, and we've totally automated the whole functionality, so there's no longer a case where somebody didn't run something."
"When there's an error or a problem, the automation part of it could be easily programmed to escalate it up to the developers or whoever is going to work on it. We had to home-grow that within the product because third-party products are so expensive."
"After the merger, it is getting more American. Now, they do not have support in French and have limited German documentation. This is a critical problem for companies who have older generations who did not have English in school."
"There has to be a better way to visualize things in the application without having so many windows open."
"We would also like improved SLR monitoring. There are SLR objects, but I can't define an SLR object plus one, or end days. I can only do it for one day. As we are time shifting to another day, it is not possible. This should be improved."
"Every time we have an upgrade for a new version, we have stability problems, because the versions are not as good as they should be."
"The versioning and support for the lifecycle of Automic's developed solution is what we were missing. However, this is coming in version 12.2, so I am looking forward to seeing how it works."
"If you're getting deep into some of these workflows, you may have 20 different windows open and, if you didn't already have that deep understanding of how enterprise orchestration works, it would be very overwhelming to get up to speed on something like that... It needs some way to minimize the amount of windows and get it to where you could have all the information you need available on the screen."
"The web-based edition is missing a lot of the most important features available in Automic, we have absence. For example, when I'm scheduling a job, there is normally a flag that you can toggle to activate and deactivate the task, but that doesn't work properly in the web version. It's missing a lot of the calendar and scheduling features."
"Some support issues need to be addressed, but not through email, through personal contact via phone or WebEx."
"Because this product only computes processing days, it is hard when things need to be scheduled according to non-processing days."
"AutoSys Workload Automation could improve the integration."
"The solution does not have a friendly subscription model because it forces users to take a five-year subscription simultaneously, charging millions of dollars."
"Ease of implementation for upgrades."
"There is a difference between a web interface and the thick client interface. We particularly like a thick client interface, and it has gone away."
"The cross-platform arena, where you can run work on multiple platforms, needs improvement."
