User Testimonials
	CA Workload Automation	Stonebranch
Likelihood to Recommend	If batch jobs are heavily used then this product is highly recommended since it maintains dependencies between jobs, notifies if there are any failures, and puts the next batches on hold if previous dependent jobs fails.

Pros	Workload can be scheduled across different Platforms. Support for Hadoop. Integration with Informatica Dataware house application. The latest version has a web interface which is very impressive. Low overheads from administration standpoint. Incentivized Arnab Mukherjee ITSM and Project Management Consultant Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	Even though the CA Workload Automation GUI is simple and easy to use, it looks outdated and has limited features such as customizing dashboards and saving particular user settings. CA Workload Automation lacks performance and is often slow to edit jobs or to refresh screens and sometimes requires admin to restart service agents for background processes. I would like to see CA Workload Automation in one screen with all the information the user wants to see and have this customized and saved for every user. Rather than having to build a view and search criteria for every new job that is added. I would like a feature or configuration that you can setup different types of notifications for job failures such as text message with different levels of severity.

Alternatives Considered	CA Workload Automation stacks up very well compared to Cisco/Tidal, BMC and is far superior to crontab. CA Workload Automation has easy initial setup, efficient job management and scheduling, supports multiple applications and environments and improves business critical needs including SLA, increasing productivity while decreasing processing workload times and failures. CA Workload Automation also integrates well with Automation Change Control Expert or ACCE which is a nice migration tool to have if you're managing jobs in the thousands.
