Likelihood to Recommend

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.
