What do you like best about IBM Workload Automation?

The graphical user interface is great to use and makes things easy. IWA has a REST API interface that's front ended using swagger, which makes development and testing straight forward. Product works well in both datacenter and cloud environments including Kubernetes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Workload Automation?

IBM documentation could do with improving. It's such a broad automation product that some pieces need further depth in documentation, even though the features are there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM Workload Automation solving and how is that benefiting you?

IWA solves automation through configuration rather than scripting. With so many job types (integrations) most applications are covered and easy to set up. Schedulig resources are reuseable, and with auditing and version control the time to value is greatly reduced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
