Crontab is an Unix utility for scheduling jobs. Using crontab we can specify Job/script to run on a particular time. Its is purely time based.

Autosys is a job scheduling tool with advanced features of scheduling. It is both time based and event/condition based. That is we can also schedule the jobs not only based on time but also condition as Success/failure of other jobs.
