Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, Tidal Software by Redwood, Redwood Software and others in Workload Automation."The most valuable aspects of AutoSys Workload Automation are its performance, scalability, and ease of getting started for new users."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the functions are easy to use."
"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."
"Integration with multiple services and applications across the enterprise."
"It gives us flexibility when doing releases. We can make changes for one day in a PDS member, since we stage our jobs by date, and the next day the normal job definitions are run."
"It's very easy to work with. The learning curve is not that steep."
"The CA workload agent has gotten much better. For our organization it's important for us to communicate in a secure fashion between the host and the other platforms, and we are able to do that with our CA product"
"It scales very well. We can add jobs and remove jobs. We do not have problems maintaining the product across multiple environments and multiple servers."
"vCloud Director is a stable solution."
"The product allows us to add or remove features."
"If a customer is looking for disaster recovery at a cheaper price, this is the best solution."
"Key enhancements include better synchronization with vCenter and increased reliability, ensuring stability during extensive usage and various actions."
"We were using VMware, also combined with AirWatch and Boxer. We configured corporate emails on mobiles and used them for MDM applications on tablets, like the launcher."
"The solution has more capabilities than OpenStack and integrates well with NSX and vCenter."
"vCloud Director requires less knowledge to get into in the first place. Therefore, when we bring in new members of staff, we can always give them the customer experience straightaway, and they can pick it up quite easily."
"vCloud Director works and makes my life easier. Its self-service capabilities allow us to give resources to our customers. They can spin up as many or as few machines as they like, and it works."
"I am not sure whether it is our limitation or a tool limitation because we haven't yet explored it, but whenever we look for different types of reporting, we have some limitations in getting those. It could be because of the way we have set it up internally in our enterprise, but it would be helpful if we can customize the reporting features and some of the alerts that can go out. When we connect enterprise systems, each one looks for a different use case, and if we can get different types of reporting, it will be helpful."
"It would be helpful to be able to monitor and manage workload windows so we could minimize downstream applications. This would allow us easier access to the applications."
"We are trying to see if we can use this from a cloud perspective with AWS, Azure, and other clouds, but it seems that there is no cloud integration in this product. We would like to see cloud integration. We are very pleased with this solution, but we are moving our application to the cloud, and we found out that it doesn't support any cloud features. So, we are trying to find a replacement."
"Quick search feature and job analysis could be improved."
"Some support issues need to be addressed, but not through email, through personal contact via phone or WebEx."
"The visibility and control features are somewhat limited."
"Reduce the number of operational files. This would make the job of a system programmer supporting ESP easier."
"Documentation and cross-application externals could be improved."
"vCloud Director should improve by having support with other cloud providers, such as Microsoft Azure and Google cloud."
"We have had very minor problems with it when we've been upgrading."
"We are having a bit of a problem with vCloud Availability. We know that vRA has a new product, HCX. We would like to know about it, then migrate to the product."
"It would be nice to see some new features in respect of the GUI."
"Lacks integration with the hyperscalers."
"If I just need to look for something quickly, it's quite difficult to find it with the way it's set up now. They should make the search button better."
"Cloud Director has room for improvement in many areas. One critical thing that comes to mind is the hyperscalers. They could be more seamlessly integrated into the hybrid cloud."
"The initial setup of the vCloud Director was not complex and not easy, it was in the middle range of difficulty. It could be made easier."
