Solution Consultant at a tech services company
Provides a reduction of headcount and run through time
From my point of view, we need clearer, more open RPSs. As an example, they need to go forward with risk RPSs. There needs to be features with more direction towards microservices, so we can have more modules which are usable. Over time, the whole Automic engine will be more complex as it is now. It will become harder to operate. Therefore, I don't like to see too many features in one engine, like more modules with options. What I am missing today is robotics. If Automic would like to stay as one of the biggest automation engines on the market, they have to find an option with a robotics solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"From our clients, "We have reduced headcounts since the beginning by around 30 to 40 percent." and "We are much faster using the service orchestration and saving by a factor of 10 or more."
"It provides a simple reduction of headcount and also a reduction of run through time."
"Overall, the product itself is a 10 out of 10."
"The product is stable. This is the reason that we are using Automic, in some cases, because of its stability and features."
"If I have a higher workload with smaller machines, it is easy to increase everything."
"Jobs are planned automatically to eliminate the need to plan them manually. It also saves us effort because there is no need to create job objects manually."
"It’s a great product, extremely versatile but takes a certain skillset to use and implementation of automation can be time consuming when done properly."
"We took our server provisioning process from about 30 days to about 4 days on the first iteration of implementation."
"The value lies in just being able to automate things such that there's less human interaction and, therefore, more consistency in our automations."
"The benefits are the efficiency we achieve with such a product, as we could automate processes which were done in the past by humans, speeding up the reaction by 10 times and saving us a lot of money."
"They were good, they helped us a lot from the beginning, from installation through the whole process, and not just their support, but also their professional services are top notch."
"CA Process Automation manager is a very powerful production tool."
"Technical support is unequivocally excellent; in fact, the best customer service and technical support I’ve experienced during my 12 years in IT."
"It is easy to debug and troubleshoot."
 

Cons

"What I am missing today is robotics. If Automic would like to stay as one of the biggest automation engines on the market, they have to find an option with a robotics solution."
"Technical support was okay. The support needs to improve their knowledge."
"In the last two years or so, Automic has not invested as much in the product as we would have expected."
"These configurations can be changed only through the installation wizard. There's no way to update such information in the administration interface, which is, in my opinion, very bad."
"Better reporting, because we have to true up our licenses every three months because we license on running concurrent processes, so we have to provide a report to CA every three months using their tool -- which never works."
"CA offers minimal public information pertaining to the performance drain the usage of some objects and operators introduce to processing."
"I'd like to see additional form functionality and having Python as an available common script language."
"Make some of the features more open source that way developers can have more flexibility."
"It needs auto-triggering of workflows based on machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI)."
"A lot of times they don't get resolved, but I'm okay with those kind of responses sometimes."
"OCR capability should be added as a feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From our clients, "We have reduced headcounts since the beginning by around 30 to 40 percent." and "We are much faster using the service orchestration and saving by a factor of 10 or more.""
"It has provided ROI by auto resolving incidents or requests in the ITSM queue, improved MTTR and SLA adherence, and added value to the delivery of services and the customer experience."
"There are a lot of automation savings from any process which is repeatable."
