    Broadcom
    In Informatica or Spark ETL jobs loading data into a Data Warehouse using AutoSys Workload Automation triggers ETL pipelines, monitors completion of jobs and also triggers the power bi report refresh. AutoSys Workload Automation can schedule jobs based on file arrival, and provide alerts if any data loads get failed. A small data team managing greater than 100 jobs. Buying and maintaining AutoSys Workload Automation is overkill in terms of cost, complexity and maintenance does not justify the value

    This product has huge capacity to run millions of jobs per month, can serve to enterprise level of business. If client is looking for platform base solution which can be deployed on-prem or cloud base technologies then this solution works well. It has very good licensing mechanism which is based on number of agents, and there is no limitation of number of jobs run. So client has not to worry on limitation of jobs and can scale of the automation in the environment. This reduced the total cost of ownership of product. Self service automation feature can reduce the client automation cost significantly. it has good batch job coverages from Mainframe to Microservices.

    Cons
    Broadcom
    • In AutoSys Workload Automation, Workflow and job dependencies are shown in a static way, which makes user difficult to visualize more complex job chains or debug failures in a graphical view.
    • Latest schedulers (like Control-M, Airflow) allow more easy workflow design makes user to understand it better, but AutoSys Workload Automation relies heavily on JIL scripts and text-based job definitions.
    • AutoSys Workload Automation interface is very slow when searching or filtering over thousand of jobs

    Broadcom
    AutoSys Workload Automation is a place to schedule, monitor, and manage thousands of jobs. Time, file arrival, dependencies are much very flexible. Once jobs are set up they run consistently with minimal intervention. AutoSys Workload Automation is powerful but very complex o understand. Mainly for beginners the interface is not user friendly. AutoSys Workload Automation is very useful in terms of job scheduling and automation. AutoSys Workload Automation is also useful for strong logging and reporting purpose. AutoSys Workload Automation has reduced a lot of human efforts and manual processing.

    In AutoSys Workload Automation, strong legacy presence, proven reliability, slightly simpler for basic scheduling if user already have in-house AutoSys Workload Automation expertise. so we already had investments in AutoSys Workload Automation, trained team, and large numbers of jobs running thus making AutoSys Workload Automation more cost-effective to continue rather than migrate to use AutoSys Workload Automation over Control-M. All our workloads are heavily batch-driven (SAP, ETL) real-time pipelines. AutoSys Workload Automation provides the robustness and enterprise support that Airflow lacks without heavy internal engineering overhead.

    1. Cost was the major factor without compromising the automation service which this product delivered. Other products are expensive and deliver the same outcome. 2. Limitation of job run, Broadcom Automic Automation allows to run unlimited jobs and helps to increase automation capability. 3. Number of automation packs available with no extra license cost. 4. Depth of coverage of technologies for batch job automation. 5. Required less number of hardware to achieve high availability.
