Helps us manage complex workloads, reduce our workload failure rates, and save us time
The visibility and control features are somewhat limited. This is a recognized weakness, but thee vendor is currently revamping the user interface to address it. While the current UI is a bit outdated, it's undergoing improvement. AutoSys Workload Automation has some areas for improvement, particularly in housekeeping and product maintenance. These tasks are currently quite manual and labor-intensive for our team. Additionally, the reporting and forecasting functionalities could be more robust. One area for improvement with AutoSys Workload Automation is that it comprises several distinct tools configured to work together. This necessitates familiarity with multiple tools for effective solution management. Consequently, it can sometimes lack a sense of cohesiveness as a unified solution.

Easy to set up, good support, and helps to decrease project costs
We are using this solution to migrate to other projects With the mainframe environment that we have, it is more similar to the HCL migration, or the workload scheduler.  We also like the CWHC utilities; they are more current and under the umbrella of HCL. It reduces project risks. Easy to set up,…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has improved my organization by automating IT applications."
"It can run an object on our Windows systems or our Unix systems, and then send messages to the other system when they are complete."
"Inherit Dependencies feature reduces scheduling errors for holiday processing."
"I prefer AutoSys over the other ones out there for ease of use, ease of understanding, and getting people to understand how the tool works."
"We use CA Workload Automation AE r11.3.6 to automate enterprise-wide scheduling and file transfers using an FTP plugin."
"​It allows you to automate tasks, and reduce headcount, prevent errors, self-heal."
"Automation of patch process."
"It is very valuable for us when we are trying to arrange or orchestrate jobs into a system. It is helpful for triggering jobs for a scheduled task."
"Easy to set up, it doesn't require a lot."
 

Cons

"Quick search feature and job analysis could be improved."
"Documentation and cross-application externals could be improved."
"Ease of implementation for upgrades."
"Some of the reports are either a bit hard to understand or don’t give you what you might expect to see."
"CA Workload Automation is not part of CA's strategic vision going forward."
"We are trying to see if we can use this from a cloud perspective with AWS, Azure, and other clouds, but it seems that there is no cloud integration in this product. We would like to see cloud integration. We are very pleased with this solution, but we are moving our application to the cloud, and we found out that it doesn't support any cloud features. So, we are trying to find a replacement."
"The reporting system, currently, could be better."
"There is a slow response time by tech support. Unless, you say it's severity level one. That will give you a two hour timing window for them to call you. It doesn't really happen exactly in two hours, but they try."
"The interface needs some improvements."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is overpriced."
"We paid to use the solution monthly."
"The pricing needs to be improved. Some of my client's complained that it was too expensive."
"There is an annual license to use AutoSys Workload Automation."
"The price of this solution is reasonable and there is an annual license required."
"CA pricing has been a problem, and not looked upon favorably here at all."
"People need to pay attention to how they use their ESP agents on the distributed platform. That's where some of the cost comes in, based on how many you need or how many you use."
"I certainly think the pricing is worth the value."
