The agents give me the flexibility to connect to various source and target systems
Some benefits of Automic were immediate. For example, we instantly increased productivity in managing our data workload. It became effortless. While those benefits were immediate, others were long-term benefits. It enabled us to build more complex workflows and manage all the data loads end to end in Automic, which was not possible before we implemented it. Those kinds of benefits took a bit more time. We began to realize those benefits in around a year because it took time to understand the tool, its features, and what was possible with it. We can use Automic to manage workloads across multiple operating systems. Our systems are hosted on Windows, Linux, and the cloud. Automic's good log-capturing methodologies help us reduce workload failure rates. Those logs help us do a detailed root cause analysis, preventing those failures in the future. Some of our systems are on AWS, and some are on Azure. Our Automic installation is on Azure, so we operate across multiple cloud environments. Automic Automation helps free up the bandwidth of our contractors and employees to focus on more important things. Our systems are financial, so they have to abide by SOC compliance, and Automic's controls and logging enable us to maintain SOC compliance. We have achieved productivity benefits and avoided costs. We could repurpose some of our costs in other areas that we would not have prioritized otherwise. Our financial processes have stringent requirements, especially during the quarter close and one-time close periods. Any deviation from our SLAs gets escalated, so we must be on top of all our workloads running through Automic. Real-time monitoring is helpful because as soon as the issue occurs, it sends an alert, and we don't waste time not knowing what the issue is. We know what the issue is and take action on it. We can reduce any impact due to the issue.

A scheduler that runs scripts on servers of most platforms. I would like it to export information about the configuration in a meaningful format.
* The finance departments are able to run complex processes using scheduled scripts. For example, receiving extract data from service providers via Axway ST, processing the data, reformatting it, sending it out to another system, processing it further, and automating the resulting general ledger reports. These are then viewed by application users. * The IT department is also able to automate complex functions. For example, receiving Bloomberg data from Axway ST, automating the decryption, running a program to filter the data, sending it out to various recipients, and sending email alerts on job failures (scripted). * With routine maintenance procedures, it is a simple thing to pause and restart schedules. It is simple to view the status of schedules and the error outputs from within the console.
