Manali Zagade

Senior Information Technology Specialist at Gen

My company is satisfied with the functionalities offered by AppWorx Workload Automation. My company and my manager decided to switch from AppWorx Workload Automation to another product, so it is a decision coming from upper management, and I have been assigned the task of creating an analysis report of the tools available in the market. My company did not do any process automations with the tool. My company is just monitoring whatever existing jobs are there in our environment. If we are getting any requirements from our company's IT team, we create those jobs in the tool. The product does support our industry's standard compliances. My company does not currently have any requirements for using AI. We just want to migrate our existing infrastructure into a new tool. The tool's scope is very limited for our company. I would definitely recommend the product to others since it is a stable solution. The issue that I faced in my company with the product is one of the major drawbacks of the product that AppWorx needs to look into because if you are not able to log in, then it could escalate as a big issue in the organization. GUI-wise, there are no such issues with the product, and the configuration is visible. Considering that the product needs to work on the graphical representation area, I rate the tool a seven out of ten.

First of all, AppWorx isn't limited to Unix or Linux. We can set it up in Windows, AWS, or Azure environments. It's not dependent on any one particular environment. There are many internal features in AppWorx. For example, there are agents on different servers. Users can have multiple applications and teams, like 10 to 20 applications teams, to run their jobs and chains running on the same master. Previously, this wasn't possible, but now many users can deploy the App Engine jobs simultaneously. It can run thousands of jobs in a day. Users can choose to share the master or use it independently, which makes handling it very easy. In short, it's easy to handle. AppWorx leverages AI to improve automation: We have SOAP agents, also known as AI tools. We create jobs and chains and link them to an AI tool. The triggers happen on our end, but the automation, the workload for which those tools were created, is reflected at the application site. For example, if they want to move a shipment from plant 'A' to plant 'B', it's done systematically and automatically with the help of AI linked with AppWorx, without manual intervention. It's done securely, with no manual intervention that could breach the privacy of the application or its users.
