Azure Automation is a solution to automate frequent, time-consuming, and error-prone cloud management tasks, and ensures consistent management for Windows and Linux. Users can write runbooks graphically in PowerShell or Python to integrate Azure services and other public systems required for deploying, configuring, and managing end-to-end processes. It can also be used to orchestrate across on-premises environments using a hybrid runbook worker to deliver on-demand services. Automations from…N/A

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.

Best suited for environments where there are standard processes and no scope for customization and not suitable for industries where the business processes are dynamic and prone to changes frequently. Also, where the users are already experienced or users of SAP would help to easily help to adopt the cloud approach.

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.

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.
