"It significantly reduces manual workload across systems"
What do you like best about ActiveBatch?

The best aspect of ActiveBatch is that it makes all the workflows centralized so that it can be controlled easily. I apply it in my day to day life to automate monotonous tasks and keep track of the progress in a single dashboard. Cross platform automation is made seamless by integration with SQL server, SAP and cloud services. It could be implemented easily and the feature set is capable of supporting both simple and complex processes and this has helped my team save a lot of manual work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ActiveBatch?

Its disadvantage is that the interface might be overloaded, particularly when several workflows are operating at the same time. There are integrations that need additional configuration affecting deployment. In peak seasons, it is a little cumbersome to monitor jobs. These problems make the learning curve to be steep among new members of the team and at times slow down rapid adaptation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Automating daily batch jobs and reports"
What do you like best about ActiveBatch?

I prefer ActiveBatch Workload Automation as it introduces predictability and control to complicated processes. My work is kept efficient by automating file transfers, batch jobs and report schedules. Connection to databases and cloud services implies that teams are able to work together without any kind of delay. It has transformed my day to day routine as it allows me to concentrate on exceptions and improvements instead of regular inspections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ActiveBatch?

ActiveBatch Workload Automation has one disadvantage in that advanced configurations have a learning curve. Certain tasks and system associations require additional consideration or coding, thus raising the set up time. The challenges have postponed some rollouts of the projects. Even with these problems, the software is reliable, once it is set up, though the set-up process may require more effort than expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ActiveBatch delivered predictable data flows, ending my late nights"
What do you like best about ActiveBatch?

ActiveBatch has transformed our data warehousing team and particularly its capability to facilitate inter-application data transfers without necessarily involving humans. The automation features based on event makes our downstream reports always available on landing of the data, and this has been a significant change in our report timeliness. I also like that the scheduling can be granular so that we can maximize the use of resources during periods of low activity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ActiveBatch?

The first architecture to unify part of our more obscure legacy was somewhat daunting. The documentation is thorough, but some times it demanded more of an exploration than expected to get those particular connections working properly. The user interface to constructing complex conditional logic also seemed to me a little less intuitive than I had hoped, and required a little extra trial and error.

"We find Active Batch fits our needs and top notch for enterprise workload automation!"
What do you like best about ActiveBatch?

We like the flexibility and ease of creating intuitive custom job flows once there is an understanding of how Active Batch works. Also, the ability to iterate and make jobs better progressively and the dashboard view for seeing job success/failures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ActiveBatch?

It requires specialized knowledge to use (skills from other applications don’t seem to transfer directly). Active Batch has many features and is hard to know what we don’t know about what it can do outside of immediate needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Untangled our cross platform job dependencies, bringing daily workflow peace"
What do you like best about ActiveBatch?

I like the security features of ActiveBatch very much and in particular the granular access controls. We can set specific criteria on who is allowed to view or edit sensitive patient data workflows and that is important to our compliance. The other quality is the exhaustive audit trail generated. Should there be any doubt as to a data transfer, we can clearly tell when and by whom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ActiveBatch?

It is slightly tricky to get around initial setup of custom error recovery logic. Matters are made difficult to tune complex retry sequences effectively. In addition, mobile interface should be enhanced in order to allow on the go tracking of some of the critical jobs. It can be a bit unresponsive compared with the desktop version sometimes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ActiveBatch Development Experience"
What do you like best about ActiveBatch?

One of the most flexible applications for process management because of its ability interface with external programs, databases and API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ActiveBatch?

The one downside is that ActiveBatch has a lot of features and as a result is very powerful. I have been programming for over 10 years and the learning curve although not difficult was challenging. I think the fact that I am a programmer helped tremendously. I can imagine that for a non-programmer it would be difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"We simplified job orchestration"
What do you like best about ActiveBatch?

What I really like best about ActiveBatch is how straightforward they make building and managing complex workflows, even across different platforms. The visual drag and drop workflow designer is fantastic; you can easily see and arrange job dependencies instead of messing with complex scripts. Plus, their Integrated Jobs Library with pre-built steps for things like file transfers or database operations is a huge time saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ActiveBatch?

While it's powerful, getting ActiveBatch initially set up and fully configured can be a bit of a beast, it requires a significant time investment and expertise. The user interface, although functional, can feel a little less intuitive or modern compared to some newer web-based tools, sometimes making navigation a bit clunky.

The interface may seem overwhelming for those who are new to the platform. Additionally, creating and managing complex workflows often demands specialized training or prior experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
