"The solution is stable...The solution is easy to scale."
"The integration capability is easy, whereas building state machines is tricky."

"What I like the most about Amazon Step Functions is how easy it is to use."
"It is a scalable solution."

"AutoSys Workload Automation could improve in the Linux environment. The previous versions of the AutoSys Workload Automation let you take the profile of the user that you were using to run the tasks that you're going to automate, but in the latest versions, you can't do that, you need to make more definitions and it's a little bit difficult. It was easier in the previous versions."

"SQL server clustering is not supported."
"Quick search feature and job analysis could be improved."
"The solution's data size limit can be improved."
"It wasn't easy to understand the licensing model. It's like if you use just a little, it's cheap, but it becomes more expensive as you use more. It's like a hook that ties you inside the Amazon ecosystem. So, it creates a dependency."
"The price and support are areas with shortcomings where the solution needs to improve."
"The solution's pricing could be cheaper. It is cheaper than Airflow."
"It is hard to coordinate the declaratory language."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved."
