(Original )Information
What do you like best about ActiveBatch Workload Automation?

The ability to integrate our Data Warehouse jobs/plans from to application jobs/plans reduced data timeliness and reruns.

We execute Informatica PowerCenter workflows, Tableau, Alteryx, and ICEDQAdmin jobs, and database sqls using the AB software.

The ability to create job dependencies visually is very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ActiveBatch Workload Automation?

The Help features are very limited, in my opinion.

I'd like to see many more examples with AIX/Linux hardware included.

The built-in reporting could be simplified as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ActiveBatch Workload Automation:

I would highly recommend AB for IT scheduling needs.

It's a robust tool that will make your Data Operations scheduling much easier to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

AB allowed us to create dependencies between the applications which improved our SLA metrics and report accuracy, as we had coordination issues between our DW Informatica PWC loads, BI reports, and Analytics jobs.

Triggering jobs with the file trigger allows much more independence for our business users.

They can run jobs as often as they like without having to schedule a job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
