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

"The most valuable feature is the flexibility of the tool."
"It's very hard to transfer the feeling when you have a platform that came to handle infrastructure issues, but at the end of the day, they are making real changes and impacting our business level, which is amazing, because it's very uncommon. That's it, basicalSly."
"It will improve how we function. It is just meeting a functional need in a maybe more agile way; it is faster."
"The reason we went with Automic is very simple. We were using ESP, which was a Broadcom product. So, Automic happened to be a natural fit. It was a much easier transition from ESP to Automic. We had familiarity with the vendor and the product."
"We can take something from crontab, something that's very nitty-gritty and low-level, and be able to put it into a nice interface, and be able to track it at every junction along the way, add alerting, interdependencies."
"As far as our schedules, if we have problems, we can create our own process in the automation, which is good."
"With the automation, we are able to provide background services. It is very economical and not possible to do manually."
"We can run the solution on both cloud and on-prem environments."
"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."
"The Action Packs are a good feature."
"The tool's online manuals and documentation are good. Its user interface is user-friendly."
 

Cons

"They could improve by providing more control features for schedules. For example, we can hold a job, and then it could stop the job in the actual end application. They could improve such capabilities."
"I would like to see more types of Calendars in the next release of this solution."
"My biggest complaint is that there is no list price. We work with Oracle, Microsoft, IBM, etc., and all of them have list pricing. Automic, right up until today, has never had list pricing. This makes things difficult, because we need to plan budgets for the next year and can't."
"The support and knowledge of incident management could be enhanced. There have been unresolved issues persisting for years, affecting customer satisfaction."
"We would like to see more dashboarding into the product, maybe an embedded Java API which we would be able to load on our own."
"It is a bit of a problem, because they like to do email ping-pong via their web page. Sometimes, it would be much easier if someone would call you on the phone."
"The vendor support is really bad and should be improved."
"I find that documentation is either very good or borderline useless depending on where you go."
"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

"The pricing of Automic Automation varies depending on the specific contract terms."
"There are different licensing fees for cases where high availability is important."
"I'm not sure about licensing costs, but I know the base price is about $3,000, and you can get some kind of discount per node."
"Automatic is heavily integrated in our organization. The cost to change would be a huge factor for us, and we have not found any other product that is better out there."
"We have increased efficiency with this application."
"Automic Automation's pricing is excellent, especially in comparison to similar solutions."
"They have increased the license price a little bit. It is more than what we expected about two years ago. So, there could be some surprises when it comes to pricing."
"The pricing is based on the number of servers and agents."
"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."
"Automic Automation Intelligence's licensing costs are expensive and can be yearly or monthly."
