Helps to move away from manual tasks and offers wide platform support and web-based interface
Customers want to move away from manual monitoring and checking processes. Automating these processes helps in time-saving and reduces human error. When you automate business processes, it reduces mistakes. It eliminates the risk of manual errors such as typos. There is a 20% to 30% reduction in human error. It fulfills all the needs when it comes to visibility and control across various operating platforms. It is the perfect product for managing processes that span multiple operating platforms. Automic Automation has the widest platform support compared to other products, such as Control-M, Tivoli from IBM, or Stonebranch. It definitely helps with compliance processes. We have had a lot of customers for two years with a focus on compliance, and it works. They were successful. Due to the fact that our customers can automate a lot of things, it reduces operating costs. It is hard to give a number because the savings are different for each customer. If a customer never had any automation, there could be about 80% savings after implementing Automic Automation, whereas for a customer who already has automated tasks, the difference will be less by adding Automic Automation. They might see 5% to 10% more savings. Automic Automation helps improve our ability to meet SLAs. In the recent versions, SLA management has been integrated, which previously was an external component. Because a lot of customers used it and asked Broadcom to implement SLA management into the workload engine, Broadcom included it. We see more and more customers running their SLA management via the Automic Automation product.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It saves a lot of time and mistakes, because we used to do a lot of manual work. Since we added automation a little bit over a year now, it has enhanced our daily work."
"Customer service and technical support are exceptional."
"We are able to control and change our processes when necessary."
"It is technology agnostic. It works with all the different legacy solutions we have and it allows us to look at things in one location, as opposed to going to a lot of different places."
"The Zero Upgrade feature is the most valuable."
"We use it with automation, getting more speed to solve business processes."
"The user interface is very simple and straightforward."
"Automation helps us. It makes our lives easier. Anything that can be automated is automated."
"The tool's online manuals and documentation are good. Its user interface is user-friendly."
"The Action Packs are a good feature."
"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."
 

Cons

"There are some scripting elements that could be added."
"From a features perspective, we still need some agents to connect to specific systems that Automic doesn't have. Expanding their available agents would make the tool more compatible with various systems that other customers may have."
"Our recent experience with technical support has not been good, because it took a couple of months to get feedback. Traces and reports were sent, but were not analyzed for at least two months before providing feedback, and they did not give the right traces. This took two months to find out, so that was not too good."
"ServiceNow creates problems with the Automic entry of the connector, so the stability could be a little bit better with this product."
"The SSH agent is missing in version 12.1. Maybe it would be a good addition to see on the web client of the next version of Atomic."
"The calendar with the new version is a little bit goofy."
"For power users, it does not work well for them at the moment."
"I am heading up the AWI. I desperately miss the possibility to show my read-only users on the Explorer side only their folders, not all the folders."
"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."
"Integration of the solution could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have increased efficiency with this application."
"There are a lot of new features, but we do not use them because they are too expensive. The price point could be less."
"This solution is pretty well-priced."
"Broadcom has recently changed its licensing model. I do not deal with pricing, but from what I heard from customers is that due to the increased pricing, some of them are thinking of reducing tasks in Automic to have fewer executions. Others are thinking of replacing Automic Automation."
"It has helped us reduce costs."
"Every time there is a task which must be repeated, the solution can reduce costs."
"Pricing is competitive compared to other major vendors."
"Its price is way up there with BMC. It is a little bit on the expensive side."
"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."
