  • Improved SAP automation thereby giving good returns.
  • Provides mail integration which further widens automation scope and profits.
Since other tools are all user interface based, they are prone to errors in terms of application exception, and the dependencies are comparatively higher for the automation to run successfully. This is not the case with the Automic One Automation Platform (formerly CA Automic Automation Platform) as the contact with application happens at the network layer and does not depend on the user interface of the application.

To simplify redundant tasks, our organization utilized Automic One Automation Platform (formerly CA Automic Automation Platform) through multiple environments. From restarts of application servers to specific jobs that need to be executed routinely, Automic plays an integral part in our infrastructure. Our business dictates 24/7 support, and the Automic One Automation Platform (formerly CA Automic Automation Platform) helps fulfill what would typically be very manual operational tasks.
  • Job execution
  • Job chaining
  • User interface was clunky
  • Upgrades are not particularly easy
If you have an infrastructure with complex security constraints, multi-users, multi-environment, then Automic One Automation Platform (formerly CA Automic Automation Platform) is an excellent tool for execution automation. We use it primarily on-prem, and it works well in our environment. I would think a cloud solution maybe a little more challenging to implement. But for routine scheduling of menial tasks Automic One Automation Platform (formerly CA Automic Automation Platform) is a reliable product.
