Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, Tidal Software by Redwood, Redwood Software and others in Workload Automation."The scalability is great."
"Automic Workload Automation is a highly complex yet versatile tool."
"It works to automate business processes over all the systems. You have a central point where you can automate everything."
"Integration with most of the platforms that we have within the company's Windows, Linux, and Unix. Integrating these inside the automation agent for scheduling, backups, file transfer, and SAP jobs."
"Automation helps us. It makes our lives easier. Anything that can be automated is automated."
"We do not have different automated silos. We have one view for our operators, which are doing things 24/7, and need just one interface, not multiple ones."
"It saves my customers time, money, resources, and efficiency."
"We use it to automate our business."
"The renaming and timestamp features are great."
"MOVEit's best features were the number of options available, like folder creation, and user-friendliness."
"Offers a large collection of very good path planning algorithms."
"It satisfies our requirements but they don't do new improvements as per the market."
"Especially at the time of monitoring, it's a nice way to take a look at the script and take a look at run time, which gives enough information for the files that are getting picked or not."
"The log findings and troubleshooting on MOVEit are pretty easy. When you go to the logs, it clearly tells you what time a transfer happened, what time it failed, what is the source path, what is the destination path, and what is the failure reason. It's pretty straightforward."
"I admire its ability to transfer really large files. One of the files that we transferred was 70 gigs. We didn't try anything larger than that, but so far, whenever somebody came to us to process a really large file, we were able to do it successfully. It can handle large files. That is one thing that I like about Automation."
"From an administration standpoint, it's very easy to manage, and I feel pretty confident in the security of the product. From an end-user standpoint also, it's very easy."
"In talking with other customers as well, they would like to see a few enhancements done where you can pull in outside data sources to get a cumulative view from one centralized place."
"It is a bit of a problem, because they like to do email ping-pong via their web page. Sometimes, it would be much easier if someone would call you on the phone."
"The interface could be made more user-friendly in terms of job creation and scheduling, especially when doing bulk job creation."
"The user interface has room for improvement."
"It has a very complicated interface, which could be made to be more user-friendly."
"There are some problems when using the new interface."
"I would like a good AWI in the next release. The AWI is not fully functional at this time."
"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."
"Communication can be improved between the product owners and users."
"We have had some challenges. Earlier when we were setting it up, a component called gateway, which runs in the DMV, was not working as expected. It was going down very often. That means most of our vendors were not able to connect using SFTP because that service was down. We had to put in a lot of monitoring to make sure if that goes down, there is some visibility instantaneously so that our system admins can go and do a restart."
"It would be beneficial to include a feature that allows you to hide items and not be locked out if someone has made too many password attempts."
"With the new other vendors coming up, they come up with certain features, in addition to the file transfer. But MOVEit does not develop their product. That's why we are looking out for other solutions."
"It takes some time to learn and understand how the solution functions."
"If the transfers are more or the file size is big, it takes more time. It doesn't have much capacity to process multiple files at the same time. It can get stuck or take a lot of time to process the files."
"Since I have to monitor two times a day, it would be nice if they have script templates."
"At times, we had connection issues with MOVEit, and it had a tendency to reboot without any reason."
