What do you like best about ActiveBatch Workload Automation?

The scheduling part of ActiveBatch. Once the job is setup properly, the job runs on time and ActiveBatch has great set of tools to enable auditing, and monitoring of the jobs. Also ActiveBatch self service portal allows my users to monitor and launch their own jobs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ActiveBatch Workload Automation?

Job recovery could be more robust. If the job fails the job does not restart at the point of failure. AB does have some check pointing, but that feature should be enhanced.

The internal language can be cryptic at time. Over time we have used this part less and powershell more often. So this issue is pretty minor Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We bought AB to handle our outgoing FTP processes. Over time we realized AB could handle a number of different technologies, therefore we could move all our schedule task to a central location. As an added bonus, our uses could manage their own jobs without much IT support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
