Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, Tidal Software by Redwood, Redwood Software and others in Workload Automation."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 most valuable aspects of AutoSys Workload Automation are its performance, scalability, and ease of getting started for new users."
"We use technical support all the time. We would be lost without them. They're fantastic. Really good job. We're able to reach the right person to help us out right away."
"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."
"The features that I have found most valuable with AutoSys are that it is scalable, easy to use, fast, and always available. That's very important because if it's not steady then it's a real problem. So, at this point, we are satisfied with it."
"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."
"It gives a real-time view of all the batch processing that we have. Monitoring-wise, it is really good."
"It allows you to automate tasks, and reduce headcount, prevent errors, self-heal."
"Puppet Enterprise has reduced the time of production changes or environment changes."
"Puppet Enterprise has good functionalities."
"The main purpose for this automation tool would be: deploying, controlling, ordering change for the system and IT Infrastructure."
"Puppet3 and 4 series provides optimum deployment solutions for infrastructure and applications."
"The most valuable features are the agent, high load balancing, and overall robustness and features."
"The versatility is great."
"Anything that we manage through Puppet always runs perfectly."
"Puppet Enterprise is a stable solution."
"It lacks support and integration with cloud computing platforms."
"CA installation processes are never anything but complex."
"More benefits with the agent upgrades, and that's about it. Other than that we have no complaints with it. It's been awesome."
"AutoSys Workload Automation could improve in the Linux environment. The previous versions of the AutoSys Workload Automation let you take the profile of the user that you were using to run the tasks that you're going to automate, but in the latest versions, you can't do that, you need to make more definitions and it's a little bit difficult. It was easier in the previous versions."
"There is a slow response time by tech support. Unless, you say it's severity level one. That will give you a two hour timing window for them to call you. It doesn't really happen exactly in two hours, but they try."
"The visibility and control features are somewhat limited."
"SQL server clustering is not supported."
"AutoSys Workload Automation could improve the integration."
"We would like Puppet to add more integration for applications."
"At the beginning the initial setup was kind of complex."
"The solution has really complex code, you have to understand the Ruby language. However, once you know the code then you can move ahead without any problems."
"Puppet Enterprise should improve the general extensibility for places where they can't install it."
"There's a lot of scope for enhancement on the DevSecOps side. They should definitely include features for compliance, for both the Linux and Windows side of the devices, as well as for network devices. Compliance is something they need to work on."
"It's a bit of a pain point to make sure that everything works once we've upgraded it because Puppet has been evolving pretty fast."
"Puppet Enterprise is more complex and difficult to configure."
