"The automated solution is the most valuable piece. Otherwise, we would have to be doing everything manually on every server."
"It is really a robust product."
"It is an object-based approach to task and process design in conjunction with conditional logic and event-based scheduling actions, which enables a build once/use often design methodology to be employed."
"It has improved my organization through automation of back office and infrastructure procedures, and by integrating and orchestrating key business applications spanning multiple technology stacks."
"The solution is very user friendly so anyone can use it."
"The interface is good."
"Scheduling is a good feature."
"We have a lot of nightly jobs that need to be run. Therefore, we perform a lot of calculations and processes during nighttime hours."
"We automate recurring processes, keeping track of IT processes controlled worldwide."
"The most valuable features of AutoSys Workload Automation are the file transfer protocol and file watcher. The solution has a user-friendly user interface. It is very simple to use. You have a scope of all your jobs, jobs are what you call tasks that you will automate in the solution. It lets you monitor everything in these jobs."
"We get better reports than we use to have."
"Integration with multiple services and applications across the enterprise."
"We need to have things run in a very sequential order, so it is very useful that we can schedule the work flows."
"It streamlines processing really well, so we're able to cut down on our processing times."
"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."
"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."
"The internal security model can be complex when configuring multiple user groups."
"The compliance features are limited to the server and not the entire infrastructure."
"We are looking for additional features that would allow us to call APIs and integrate the product with other tools more effectively."
"The graphical interface is pretty cool but not the best so it could use some improvement."
"It is difficult to integrate with the Active Directory (AD)."
"Reporting, forecasting and intelligence could be improved."
"As a general process automation and integration tool, it has been superseded by other offerings, notably the Workload Automation suite."
"It has been a deprecated product, because it is so old. There has been a couple of new solutions that are a little more advanced."
"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."
"In terms of what should be in the next release, I want integration and AI and so on. I'd like easy reporting where you can compare information, for example, "that job normally takes three minutes and last time it took six minutes or 10 minutes." Then you can get the information to the engineer of which job is taking more time than normal - understanding strange behavior compared to the baseline."
"The solution does not have a friendly subscription model because it forces users to take a five-year subscription simultaneously, charging millions of dollars."
"The GUI/Workstation is weak and needs to be improved. CA is working on this right now."
"To make it a lot more user-friendly, in order to make it so other people can use it without having to do much training with it; the more user-friendly it is, the easier it is to work with."
"CA installation processes are never anything but complex."
"Reduce the number of operational files. This would make the job of a system programmer supporting ESP easier."
"A better graphical user interface, because we have a lot of people using the client utility, and we want to get them away from that."
