"The company can expand with this product. Every time I bring in new ideas for solutions, it is with this product."
"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."
"It helps our efficiency because it is a batch processing tool which works without a menu."
"One of the big features that they did implement, that a lot of people, us included, were asking for for a long time, is the ability to do zero downtime upgrades. They have introduced that."
"The very special feature that we use is the connection to ServiceNow."
"The solution is integrated across all applications and platforms in our company. We can provide everything from the very first data source to the data target in one immense code."
"Stability has been great. My team, we call ourselves "the invisibles" because things run so well that sometimes you almost feel like you have to try to break something to actually get acknowledged."
"It saves my customers time, money, resources, and efficiency."
"Inherit Dependencies feature reduces scheduling errors for holiday processing."
"We automate recurring processes, keeping track of IT processes controlled worldwide."
"The ability to create calendars, calendering for batch jobs to run on a scheduled frequency."
"The scheduling feature allows us to know when jobs are going to run and makes sure they run in the order needed."
"The customized views that each individual can create, and views that can be made free-form, makes this very popular with the programmers."
"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."
"The aggregator reporting utility which tells us our throughput in lag and latency."
"I prefer AutoSys over the other ones out there for ease of use, ease of understanding, and getting people to understand how the tool works."
"There are some problems when using the new interface."
"It would be better if it was easier to view the automated processes."
"The one big issue that we have is around passwords and not being able to update passwords through a different tool. This is not available yet."
"With every new version, things that would previously work, Automic breaks them. So, we have to report the new bugs. Therefore, every time when we patch the system, there is usually a new bug or a feature that was working, then it stops working."
"The user interface has room for improvement."
"Our recent experience with technical support has not been good, because it took a couple of months to get feedback. Traces and reports were sent, but were not analyzed for at least two months before providing feedback, and they did not give the right traces. This took two months to find out, so that was not too good."
"I would like to see more types of Calendars in the next release of this solution."
"The interface could be made more user-friendly in terms of job creation and scheduling, especially when doing bulk job creation."
"CA Workload Automation is not part of CA's strategic vision going forward."
"We had a few issues, however, the issues were more on the infrastructure rather than with the application itself."
"This product needs to improve its graphical user interface."
"Some of the reports are either a bit hard to understand or don’t give you what you might expect to see."
"Because this product only computes processing days, it is hard when things need to be scheduled according to non-processing days."
"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."
"I am looking forward to more of their dashboard features. I think it would be very valuable for us to have dashboard features that could be delivered to our customers in the form of a URL, and they could refresh that URL whenever they wanted to get up to date performance metrics out of our systems."
"Some support issues need to be addressed, but not through email, through personal contact via phone or WebEx."
