Useful multiple scheduler, centralized batch view, and reliable
There are approximately seven connectors for enterprises. This vendor doe snot has a lot of competition in the market. I recommend beginning with AI as it will provide us with a comprehensive understanding of your batches as a whole. If there are other participations or downstream processes involved, we can integrate them with AI, creating a centralized hub for your engineer batch, both downstream and upstream. I rate Automic Automation Intelligence an eight out of ten.

Helps us manage complex workloads, reduce our workload failure rates, and save us time
The visibility and control features are somewhat limited. This is a recognized weakness, but thee vendor is currently revamping the user interface to address it. While the current UI is a bit outdated, it's undergoing improvement. AutoSys Workload Automation has some areas for improvement, particularly in housekeeping and product maintenance. These tasks are currently quite manual and labor-intensive for our team. Additionally, the reporting and forecasting functionalities could be more robust. One area for improvement with AutoSys Workload Automation is that it comprises several distinct tools configured to work together. This necessitates familiarity with multiple tools for effective solution management. Consequently, it can sometimes lack a sense of cohesiveness as a unified solution.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The Action Packs are a good feature."
"The tool's online manuals and documentation are good. Its user interface is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Automic Automation Intelligence is the ability to see all of the batches from one place. Additionally, there is a multiple scheduler that is useful."
"We use technical support all the time. We would be lost without them. They're fantastic. Really good job. We're able to reach the right person to help us out right away."
"Without this product we would have to manually submit jobs and it would take longer. There would also be a much greater possibility of jobs running wrong and/or not at the right time."
"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."
"This solution has made my clients' workplaces a lot less labor-intensive."
"The customized views that each individual can create, and views that can be made free-form, makes this very popular with the programmers."
"We use CA Workload Automation AE r11.3.6 to automate enterprise-wide scheduling and file transfers using an FTP plugin."
"Autosys is one of the oldest products in the market, and it has been around for quite a long time, close to 20 to 25 years."
"The most valuable feature of AutoSys Workload Automation is batch processing."
 

Cons

"Integration of the solution could be improved."
"The solution could benefit by having more connectors and customized widgets. Additionally, a dashboard that people could use for videos would be helpful."
"The job reporting feature needs improvement."
"I would like to see two-factor authentication, since you see a lot of companies in the news for security breaches. That is a really big thing for us."
"It lacks support and integration with cloud computing platforms."
"The solution does not have a friendly subscription model because it forces users to take a five-year subscription simultaneously, charging millions of dollars."
"We have to escalate through channels to get to somebody who knows what's going on. It takes time that we do not necessarily have.​"
"The graphical interface can be improved."
"There is a difference between a web interface and the thick client interface. We particularly like a thick client interface, and it has gone away."
"We had a few issues, however, the issues were more on the infrastructure rather than with the application itself."
"Needs better documentation with fully explained examples for some of the job types."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Automic Automation Intelligence's licensing costs are expensive and can be yearly or monthly."
"The price of Automic Automation Intelligence depends on the connectors used. For example, if you wanted to connect to Dell BMC, you would need a connector."
"I certainly think the pricing is worth the value."
"The price of this solution is reasonable and there is an annual license required."
"It is overpriced."
"Validate how many agents you need beforehand."
"I don't have information on the exact licensing cost of AutoSys Workload Automation because that's managed by the tools and financing teams. For agents, it's close to $4,00, but for the server setup, it's usually a one-time license initially, and it's AMC which is paid every year and comes close to $8,000 to $10,000."
"We paid to use the solution monthly."
"The pricing needs to be improved. Some of my client's complained that it was too expensive."
"There is an annual license to use AutoSys Workload Automation."
