What do you like best about Automic Automation?

An easy interface for building an automation script using blocks to create a workflow with the basic programming methods: if/else, foreach, et cetera, in which it is possible to insert more complex scripts, both by using other pre-established blocks and by scripting from scratch.

The ability to interface on both Windows and UNIX systems.

A powerful and complete scripting language with thousands of ready-made blocks of code.

A marketplace, managed by the manufacturer, with hundreds of plug-ins and ready-made workflows.

The software is perfectly integrated to manage and automate dozens of applications on the market: Apache, Tomcat, Remedy, VMWare, SAP, MySql, Jenkins, Office365, NetScaler, Siebel, SSH, Oracle.

The program scales smoothly from one server to an entire farm.

The manufacturer maintains a forum on which you can ask for help, there is always someone available to help you out.

The manufacturer offers many free courses and good platforms to obtain certifications on its website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Automic Automation?

The debugger could be more analytical and descriptive.

Dashboard building features should allow for more flexibility and options.

Some processes could be more intuitive and above all troubleshooting could be more guided.

The web interface suffers from any network downtime, in times of great crowding it is a bit slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Automic Automation:

You need to be familiar with the operation of Windows servers (including cmd and Powershell) and Unix servers (settings and shell commands). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Automic Automation solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Automic we manage the entire flow of updating, restarting and cloning a server farm, without differences between windows and unix server.

With the Dashboards created in Automic we build applications to monitor the status of other applications, with probes that allow us to check their operation 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
