User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Microsoft We have found Azure Automation to be well-suited for tasks that must be performed on a scheduled basis. No matter how simple or tedious tasks are to perform manually, if they run on a scheduled basis, it makes sense to have them automated. If the tasks at hand are only performed once or infrequently, then it may be best to continue performing them manually. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Cisco Cisco Workload Optimization is there to allow tasks to be optimized, prioritized, and facilitated to increase the company's growth and expansion direction. More so, Cisco Workload Optimization brings the ideals of solid engagement, where the collaboration comes in, and the innovations among other procedures suit the company's needs.

Pros	Microsoft Scheduled automation of Microsoft 365 and Azure tasks Scheduled automation of scripting (e.g. Powershell) Perform periodic maintenance Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Cisco Communication Organization User friendly Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Microsoft An automation template library would be nice Clear estimation of costs - this goes for the entire Azure Automation platform It can be daunting at first due to all the settings and menu levels, but it is not difficult once you get started. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Cisco Wish it had alerts easier to access. More non tech user friendly Cost a little less Incentivized Sarah Urbani It tehcnician Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Microsoft We did not evaluate any other automation products since we are already using Microsoft 365 and the Azure platform. Additionally, Azure Automation allows for a reasonable number of tasks to be performed each month at no cost, which is especially nice when testing the platform. We found Azure Automate's integration of Powershell invaluable when working directly with Microsoft 365, Sharepoint, Azure AD, and other systems via API. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Cisco Cisco WOM now is integrated with Cisco Intersight so you will have in one dashboard the benefits of these solutions. In order to get all in one dashboard, Cisco recommends integrating through their secure API. Incentivized Gerardo Huerta Robles Ingeniero Consultor Read full review
