IBM Workload Automation Scalability
Scalability-wise, it can be a little bit challenging. However, it changes and depends on the perspective because it just needs to execute the job, and sometimes the capability depends on the application itself, not TWS. So, if I look at scalability from that perspective, I can give a little bit low, but for the product itself, we don't have any problems so far. So, I rate the product's scalability an eight out of ten.
More than 1,000 people in my organization are using the solution.

I think scalability could be improved. We are moving to cloud and plan to increase the number of users.
This is a scalable solution and they have documentation on how to scale the product. We're running thousands of jobs per day across many agents in the cloud, as well as in the data center.

The offshore team is made up of about five guys that mainly take care of the maintenance tasks. At this moment, we do not actually have any plans to scale our usage. Maybe in the coming two years, we might have to. We are planning to upgrade or migrate to another tool depending on what is best for our situation at that time.
