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

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

  • To be able to schedule software updates at a later time/date to meet change management window so manual intervention is minimized. F5 BIG-IQ Centralized Management should be able to send alert if upgrade process halts or fails for any reason.

Usability

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.

It may be due to how we deployed it or how we use it, but it adds time to doing small changes. I do like the deployment detail and change tracking though.

Alternatives Considered
Broadcom
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.
