AWS Batch vs. CA Workload Automation

Start with reviewing all your jobs, consolidating the timeline, and making a plan on what all jobs need to be prioritized. These can be optimized based on cost and performance. With a continuously changing workload, AWS Batch helps to build and automate the jobs across various resources. It also helps to manage the performance and workload.

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.

• Even though the CA Workload Automation GUI is simple and easy to use, it looks outdated and has limited features such as customizing dashboards and saving particular user settings.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.

CF did not have a way to store the videos and I did not want to do so in YouTube because of privacy reasons.

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.
