Scalable and reliable Automation Product

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates CA Workload Automation from other similar products?

The Intuitive UI and capability to support almost 100 types of jobs and easy Workflow designing feature. Add/update/remove workflow process has been made very user friendly by defining the job definitions in a file and upload it directly to scheduler server.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Provides on top investigation for all the jobs and their sub tasks by providing detailed logs of job run and job operation on the UI itself. Addition of notification for failed or manual intervention jobs is an addition to the feature. The capability to restart or force start any job in between the workflow is commendable feature.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It would be great if the designing of a workflow includes drag drop functionality to define dependencies and flow design as per users visibility requirements.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If above cons are taken care of then product is very good to compete to any other automation tool in the market.
