Basically, it helps me to automate scheduling, monitor all my servers, and look after logs and alerts!This has been very time-saving and because of this now I can focus on larger targets!

Many services, Noticeably some are-Workload ProcessingScalabilityIntelligent AutomationAdministration ConsoleWorkflow Management

The only thing I least like is pricing and apart from that this is the best tool.

Very good user interface and best event-based automation for real time accurate data. Good Customization for all alerts. Due to version change, old jobs running had few issues' apart form that, all seems good.

The good features of Active batch is real time processes and accurate data capturing on tool. Very easy to use , good user interface, Not much pre-requisite needed, very handy. Very good user interface and best event-based automation for real time accurate data. Good Customization for all alerts. Due to version change, old jobs running had few issues' apart form that, all seems good.

The data cannot be easily exported out easily to a excel format making it a bit difficult to extract data. Also getting other users to manage their jobs was getting difficult.

The product is well thought, well priced, offering lot of features, I can understand with such a lot of features it is hard to introduce a change without breaking other functionalities, but if they can tighten their testing before releasing it covering all scenarios, that will be great.

lots of features..flexibility on how to orchestrate your workload.

sometimes, the behaviors are unpredictable. not a major blow up so far. but it can get on your nerves as why certain things work the way it works and why would it not work for other cases given both are similar situations.

we at Justwicks used active batch for making our product more reliable, since we started using it our ROI nearly increased to 80% within short span of time, and reliability or our product is also increased to a great extent

In our organisation we have implemented activebatch into our end to end automation, we have utilized the real time analytics and alerting feature a lot which gave us more insights ahead and able to fix the issue before the clients report it.

The documentation and initial setup was bit fuzzy it could be been more details and few more video tutorials would have reduced our time a lot.

My overall experience with active batch to date is very good and it provides smooth and it is user-friendly.Any user who uses this for the first will be able to understand it very easily without any difficulties.

it's an automation tool that helps the administrator to schedule, monitor and view the logs without or with very less manual intervention.

The cost is the only factor that i would like to highlight. However, it is worth it.

Its an open-source platform to review about choosing a software and we have access to read the reviews of all customers just to plan before getting into it.It helps a lot in my day to day activities like automation of my workloads.Its user-friendly (easy-to-use) UI so any non IT person can easily get hands-on on this software.Its compatible with different organizations and Active Batch can easily integrate with other applications which makes it easy to access and automates all workloads in different platforms.Customer support team is excellent which makes us resolve our queries in short span of time

Cost is something which is a con if its for small organizations.Needs bit more detailed documentation and improvement in the UI part to make it more user-friendly.Comparing to other software, the reporting capabilities are bit less which should be improved better with IT experts.

Overall experience working in this software felt life changing tool which almost do everything you required for any organization you work (IT, manufacturing, logistics etc) This tool has made our life so easy that, we can easily look after inventory stock and take decisions for future procurements and under customer orders and plan accordinglyAs an IT it became so easy to procure electronics items required by having approved supplier list and tracking it

As a logistics company, activebatch is very useful in planning your daily activities, providing the purchase order for raw materials, track the activities from supplier side, easily generate the reports as required and plan for customer orderOther good feature are good display, has enormous options to work, under interface is excellent

The only cons i felt in this software is that, it should been a bit user friendly with detailed user manual how exactly different functions works, also by having a authorization for customization options to tweak the software as per our requirements

Overall, ActiveBatch is a complete workload automation solution that offers customers a wide range of tools and capabilities for controlling and automating IT activities. The extensive scheduling capabilities, flexibility, scalability, pre-built integrations, and security features are typically well-liked by users.Highly recommeded

It is simple to develop, manage, and monitor workflows with ActiveBatch's user-friendly interface, as well as to troubleshoot and fix problems.Advanced scheduling features from ActiveBatch, such as event-driven triggers, dependency management, and workload balancing, can aid businesses in streamlining their task automation procedures.With features like role-based access control, encryption, and auditing, ActiveBatch offers a high degree of security that helps to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of business data and systems.

Despite having a large number of features and capabilities, some users have complained that setting up and using ActiveBatch may be challenging.While ActiveBatch is a strong and all-encompassing tool, it may be expensive when compared to alternative task automation options, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises.Some users have reported that they would want to see more sophisticated reporting and analytics capabilities.

No more negative about Active Batch Its a user dependent, Can be Preferred for smooth work flow

Active Batch is excellent in Event Automation so that workflow processes can be initiated when a specific work or IT event occurs, reducing the chance of delay in work or progress.Unify control of all policies and processes for simplified compliance leads to In-depth audit trails, version control and rollbacks, and access management integrations provide additional layers of security for all data and work we done daily.

>A cloud option should be provided as free feature.>price should be affordable so that small organization can prefer this.>when there is overload it take some time to open

Once if you start using ActiveBatch ,it is easy to read console and general structure of system.it has excellent monitoring capabilities to running and existing jobs. ActiveBatch can easily drag and drop workflow building

There is no major issue with the software as it is sufficient for any IT individual for daily basis usage,if someone like developer is using the tool, they might find the full potential of the software. The support level for Level 1 can be improvised and also some of the documentation about the product can be improved in coming days.

We have used ActiveBatch for the last 5 years and are we happy. So happy that we have moved all our Automation and scheduling to ActiveBatch and that shows the trust few have in the product

Previously we have used a few scheduling systems but in recent years we have moved all our automation and scheduling to ActiveBatch. Which shows the confidence we have in the product The central location of all our workflows and an operation to view running, failed and successful jobs make ActiveBatch an outstanding product. The execute agent and job scheduler is very stable. ActiveBatch scheduler is brilliant and the use of custom dates and calendars makes scheduling powerful. The PowerShell script option in AB makes scheduling of PowerShell scripts easy. Reuse and reference of scripts in workflows make development quicker. The use of variables on Jobs, schedulers, folders, triggers and task gives us a lot of variety and flexibility. The support team is very good and always eager to help. The only issues we have is the difference in time zones in response from the support team due to that. But it has imporved over the last few months.

What I found over the years is when a new version of AB has been released, jobs that were working in the previous release not working in the new version. The new GUI of v12 looks good but is a lot slower and crashes more often than the previous version. To do a simple task and using the internal steps like reading a from DB, loop through the records, setting values to a condition can be a confusing thing. Lately, we have been switching all our jobs that were using job steps to PowerShell scripts because we have more control and options in Powershell.

Overall, ActiveBatch is a very solid and capable package that gives you almost everything you could ever want in automation.

ActiveBatch is the backbone of our automation operations. We use it to automate a wide variety of tasks from running our own custom data processing software to retrieving FTP to monitoring server status. * The scheduler has amazing variety and flexibility for automating tasks: jobs within plans, variables that change parameters dynamically, constraints on other tasks, triggers for other tasks. * Monitoring status of jobs and plans can be done in a variety of ways, through a UI, through email or other communication, even automated reporting. Almost however you want to look at status, ActiveBatch has you covered. * Great support for integration with other technologies and services. They have a number of packages for integration with third party systems. You can fairly easily integrate with command line tools, custom libraries or web APIs to create custom links. We've even used Powershell to automate ActiveBatch itself. * Their tech support has always been quick to respond and genuinely willing to dig deep to help solve the problem.

Only a couple cons come to mind. * With increased flexibility and capability come increased complexity. It's easy to get a couple jobs going, but there is a learning curve to use the full capability. There is no free training (like self-guided course), though perhaps that's changed since the last time I looked, and the documentation is difficult to wade through. * We do see quirky behavior indicative of small bugs that will manifest themselves after weeks of operation. Although I would consider it stable, every now and again something strange happens (weeks between occurrences) and it's time to restart the service. It's not the same thing every time and support has always helped us navigate unexpected behavior.

We now have a better Enterprise Job Schedule in our IT shop.

I was tasked to find a Enterprise Job scheduler for LA Metro. I evaluated many job schedulers such as Redwood, Cisco Tidal and Activebatch. Activebatch was the one that stood out the most because of its ease to use and its features and functionality. I was able to setup the software and started to use it in 1 day. The user guide is really helpful specially the case studies. I was able to create jobs at no time. What I like most about this software is the ease of use and the versioning control. To ease the transition from other job scheduler to Activebatch, I created job templates allowing various group in ITS to convert existing jobs or create new jobs based on a template and then modify them accordingly to meet their needs. This has cut down the job creation/conversion time tremendously instead to creating them from scratch. This approach helps quickly bring ITS staff member up to speed and give them the confidence to start using ActiveBatch right the way. Finally, I would like to commend the customer support desk. They provide excellent services. I always learn something new every time I call them up. The problem resolution turnaround time is impeccable.

Maybe, more advance case studies should be provided on the user guide such as Crystal Report, email workflow, ActiveBatch Web Service examples, etc...

Our experience has been great, we have never had any major issues with the tool in the 8+ years we've used it. ActiveBatch has been very reliable and we continue to find new ways that it can improve our workflows.

The software is extremely flexible out of the box without needing to rely heavily on scripts to accomplish tasks. The GUI tool is very straightforward and allows complex jobs to be created quickly and accurately.

The flexibility and comprehensive toolset are great, but it can also be slightly overwhelming for new users, especially if the users have never used an automation tool before.
