AutoSys Workload Automation Reviews

My clients mainly use this solution for server workloads — work process flows around the deployment of servers, etc

This solution has made my clients' workplaces a lot less labor-intensive.

I have been using this solution for the past few months.

It is pretty stable from my understanding. I haven't heard any complaints about a run maintain.

AutoSys Workload Automation is very scalable. My clients were mainly large organizations and they never had any complaints about the scalability.

I never had to contact technical support so I cannot comment on that.

The initial setup is quite straightforward.

The pricing needs to be improved. Some of my client's complained that it was too expensive.

My advice would be to negotiate thoroughly on the price.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of eight.

My primary use case for this solution is for production.

This solution enables us to improve our daily processing times. We can do everything faster than before we used this solution.

The installation process is complex, and is pretty archaic. The people who developed this had very little concern with GUI interface and it is all command line. Everything is K-space, and if you misspell a task by uppercase, lower case, etc. you just completely think that the task is different.

It is a fairly stable solution. I have not had any issue with it.

It's pretty scalable, and ready for enterprise.

There is a slow response time. 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.

The initial setup was complex. It had too many components. 

It is an overpriced solution. 

I would not say this is for a large shop, but for a small shop it is overpriced. 

I find that it provides better agility in regards to job execution features.

The CA Autosys has assisted our organization by providing effective backend automation for enterprise application functionality.

This product needs to improve its graphical user interface.

I have used this product for about 12 years.

Lot of automation required and need to be aligned with DevOps.

I have not encountered any issues with stability.

I have not encountered any issues with scalability.

7/10

CA Technologies provides good technical support and I would give it a 7 out of 10 rating.

I found the installation process easy to follow.

Implement through vendor as special skills.

This product offers more jobs and stability.

After conducting extensive market evaluation, we chose the CA Autosys tool.

I would recommend to make use of outsourced software solutions such as Atgen for ensuring a stable setup process.

I find the UI to be a really nice feature. It's great and pretty user friendly. Also, there are many agent integrations available that support various platforms.

It provides us with automated management of a high volume of workloads across our enterprise.

I'd like to see more agents for integrations with other platforms. Also, I think the interface could be unified in a better way. Additionally, we could benefit for more data analytics.

We've had no issues with deploying it.

It is very stable and we haven't had any problems.

They are enhancing the product for new limits, so we should be able to scale without a problem.

They have great support when we work together.

The initial setup was very straightforward. It's a great benefit that you can install and configure it very quickly.

I would recommend the product, but you have to have a good team to work with it. The solution is good, but you need a prepared team.

In our case, it's just managing the day and night jobs of banks because we are supporting several banks in Europe.

The company I'm working for is an outsourcing company who provides solutions for customers. We host their complete environment.

The features that I have found most valuable with AutoSys are that it is scalable, easy to use, fast, and always available. That's very important because if it's not steady then it's a real problem. So, at this point, we are satisfied with it.

If you do not need the latest features like cloud and compare, I would really advise using AutoSys. For future technologies, I cannot answer the question yet.

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.

I have been using AutoSys Workload Automation for nine years.

We are not using the latest version. We are planning a migration towards the latest version or a migration to another tool. Most likely, because of the lifetime of the environment that has to be supported, we will probably migrate to the latest version because it's often easier if you stay with the same product.

We have several customers at this moment and AutoSys is used by one bank. In fact, it's not like real end-users are touching the tool. It is doing its job during the night and it is only for one application including the bank application, so it's not connected to its final end users, so you scale all the toolings which are available in the bank environment. We only focus on the core banking.

The technical support is very good. If you open a case, the support is really sufficient.

AutoSys Workload Automation is really easy to install. You can install the server and an agent in about 10 minutes. It takes the agent on five clicks. Even if you have many agents to install during installation, you can pick that very easily and you also can deploy it fairly easily. In terms of the deployment, it's a nice solution.

Normally you can do it by yourself unless you're running into situations where the newest version is working slightly differently than the previous version. Sometimes you need to adopt some parameters, but they provide you sufficient support for that. The deployment can be done by one guy. One system engineer can handle the job.

AutoSys Workload Automation has a yearly subscription.

On a scale of one to ten, for the part that we are currently using, I can give AutoSys Workload Automation an eight.

I would recommend this product for other users who want to start using it depending on their needs. I'm still investigating what the new version provides in the future, based on technology, so it is difficult to answer that question.

We are a system integrator and this is one of the products that we implement for our customers. AutoSys is primarily used for scheduling CP jobs, file transfer, and other miscellaneous jobs.

The graphical interface can be improved.

I have been working with AutoSys Workload Automation for the past five years, but not on a regular basis.

AutoSys Workload Automation is a stable solution.

This is a scalable product and we have about 50 users. We are planning to increase our usage in the future.

Since Broadcom acquired this product, the technical support has not been as good. They should really be faster and more knowledgeable.

The agent package and the other package should be more user-friendly to install.

I provide support on this product for our customers.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

The solution can be used for scheduling workloads.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the functions are easy to use.

The solution could improve by having support for container environments.

I have been using this solution for approximately 10 years.

The solution is stable.

AutoSys Workload Automation is scalable.

I have many customers running this solution.

The technical support has been good.

I am using Stonebranch Universal Automation Center alongside this solution.

The price of this solution is reasonable and there is an annual license required.

I evaluate AutoSys Workload Automation an eight out of ten.
