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 While the current UI is a bit outdated, it's undergoing improvement.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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It gives a real-time view of all the batch processing that we have. Monitoring-wise, it is really good."
"The most valuable feature of AutoSys Workload Automation is batch processing."
"Autosys is one of the oldest products in the market, and it has been around for quite a long time, close to 20 to 25 years."
"Without this product we would have to manually submit jobs and it would take longer. There would also be a much greater possibility of jobs running wrong and/or not at the right time."
"We use technical support all the time. We would be lost without them. They're fantastic. Really good job. We're able to reach the right person to help us out right away."
"The capabilities of the product to schedule on multiple platforms, multiple operating systems."
"The CA workload agent has gotten much better. For our organization it's important for us to communicate in a secure fashion between the host and the other platforms, and we are able to do that with our CA product"
"AutoSys Workload Automation is a stable solution."
"The fluid user interface (probably the most user friendly interface, when compared to its competitors)."
"It is very easy to build integrations and processes to pull and push data."
"We only use small parts of the solution, however, the parts that we use are quite adequate."
"Jitterbit provides the ability to quickly map data between files and databases."
"Jitterbit handles the most lines of data in a .csv and loads the quickest of any data loader I have tried."
"Integrity, ease of use, user-friendly user interface, and errorless logs are the most valuable features."
"Easy integration with Salesforce"
"The Cloud Console for monitoring and troubleshooting data operations."
 

Cons

"The graphical interface can be improved."
"Ease of implementation for upgrades."
"It lacks support and integration with cloud computing platforms."
"Documentation and cross-application externals could be improved."
"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."
"​The cross-platform arena, where you can run work on multiple platforms, needs improvement."
"Pricing model for distributed should have an Enterprise option."
"Needs better documentation with fully explained examples for some of the job types."
"I would like the ability to offer a dedicated cloud version for security."
"You need to have some development skills or hire a Jitterbit engineer to make changes."
"Sometimes we experience disconnections and I have to close all Jitterbit programs."
"Looping through complex data structures can be difficult."
"Sometimes additional connectors are needed."
"There were some bugs in the product. For example if you run a delete query and test, it deletes the actual data."
"The initial setup can be a little bit difficult."
"I know with Salesforce updating the UI like they did, it slowed it down a lot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CA pricing has been a problem, and not looked upon favorably here at all."
"It is overpriced."
"We paid to use the solution monthly."
"I certainly think the pricing is worth the value."
"The price of this solution is reasonable and there is an annual license required."
"Validate how many agents you need beforehand."
"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."
"The return on investment would be very high because doing things manually without this product would be extremely expensive."
"I do believe Jitterbit has one of the better pricing and licensing options out there compared to its competitors."
"Jitterbit was extremely cost effective for us compared to other options."
"The added bonus is that Jitterbit doesn't charge for any data volume/traffic."
"The Jitterbit price is based upon endpoints. They also offer ERP connectors with their Enterprise edition"
"The solution's cost is mid-ranged compared to other vendors."
"Each business needs to determine if it is a mission critical aspect."
