Comprehensive, integrates well, and provides a single point of view
The biggest benefit is that we have one point of view on the processes. We can build dependencies, and we can have access to different platforms. We can integrate different platforms. This is the biggest benefit of Automic Automation. Our systems are very big. At times, we have more than 11 million jobs per day or executions per day, and we have struggled with this amount in the past, but Broadcom has improved the application so that we can avoid such struggles. We have a big environment. When new functionality is implemented in the system, very often, we are the first ones to struggle with something, and then Broadcom has to improve it. Normally, it is a very stable product for us. We have some very big workflows, which include more than a thousand objects, so it can be very hard for us to have a good overview of it all. That is why we build our processes in small steps. This way, it is much easier to handle them as one very big workflow. This is our experience, and we try to go in this direction. We have the agent, or we can use the REST API. It is easy to implement in the end. The big challenge is that if you have many components in your systems, you have to update the components from time to time, and this, of course, is a big effort. Automic Automation has saved time and helped free up staff for other projects or tasks. We automate many things with Automic Automation. If we had to do these things every day manually, we would lose a lot of time. It helps us save time for other projects. Automic Automation has helped us reduce our operational costs. I am from the admin team, and we have to roll out the new version of our agent. We have more than 30,000 agents in our system. To update each agent manually, we would have to log onto the server, move the binaries to the target system, stop the agent, and start the agent. It would take a very long time to do this manually for 30,000 agents. With Automic Automation, we have the possibility to just say that we want to update this agent. The binaries will be moved to the platform, and the agent will be stopped and started automatically. We do not have to log in to the servers. It will be done in the background. Therefore, it is a big help for us in saving time.

User-friendly, extensible product with great customer support. Would like better support for multiple workflows.
* User friendly - nice web based designer * Easy to integrate * Extensible - can create your own Java actions to orchestrate your custom business process * Complex job pinning and scheduling across a cluster of machines * Easy to use API for embedding it inside of other enterprise Java…

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of Automic Workload Automation varies depending on the specific contract terms."
"The cost of arrays is high. If you want to buy an array for an application, and see value from it, you need about half a million dollars. That is too expensive."
"Certain licenses can be a bit expensive. The PeopleSoft agents, in particular, are a bit pricey."
"It costs too much. That's why we are now looking at other products."
"Our company had paid around 5,000 to 6,000 USD per license for a month."
"This is a support system for us, not our core business, so we purchased this product inexpensively."

"The pricing keeps going up, which is concerning."
