ActiveBatch empowers me to optimize productivity and streamline operations effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Even though ActiveBatch is a powerful tool, the learning curve is a little advanced for beginners. Documentation can sometimes lack in-depth explanations and requires additional research. Occasionally, specific integration requirements may pose challenges. However, the overall benefits of ActiveBatch, including its versatility and time-saving capabilities, outweigh any minor inconveniences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ActiveBatch Workload Automation?

The ability to create dependencies for large scale ETL automation. We have multiple processes that load data from SQL to ORACLE for several hundred tables, some with millions of records and ActiveBatch allowed us to intelligently run our processes in parallel with dependencies we setup. It took a process that used to take 20 hours and we have now reduced it to 5. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ActiveBatch Workload Automation?

The only "downside" we have run into is the learning curve to bring people up to speed on it. It needs a champion who can evangelize it to other teams to gain a foothold in your organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have multiple ETL processes that depend on each other and needed a product to allow us to run SSIS & ORACLE packages in the same process. Our most significant benefit was taking a single approach that took 20 hours and reducing it to run in 5 with intelligent job dependency. Additionally, it has reduced our support team's needs. Because we can set up alert systems informing us about job performance, our support team can work on other complicated tasks and receive tailored emails informing them about common operational problems only when they need to be addressed.

What do you like best about ActiveBatch Workload Automation?

The most helpful feature I like about the ActiveBatch Workload Automation Software is its Pre-Built Job Steps. The software comes with an extensive library of pre-built job steps that can be used to automate processes in various systems and applications. Because of this, users won't need to create their scripts, which can save time and lower the possibility of mistakes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ActiveBatch Workload Automation?

There aren't any significant drawbacks to the software, but I believe it would be better to interface with cloud-native designs like serverless computing or containerized environments, as everything is moving towards the cloud these days. Apart from this, everything about the software is appreciable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The expanded scheduling features offered by ActiveBatch include dependency-based scheduling, event-based scheduling, and calendar-based scheduling. This enables users to plan tasks based on particular dates, times, occasions, or job requirements, which can assist in streamlining workflow execution and reduce delays. By automating the provisioning and de-provisioning of resources as needed, ActiveBatch also enables enterprises to manage their capacity and scalability requirements. This can improve resource utilization, lower costs, and guarantee that systems are available when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
