Overall Satisfaction with ActiveBatch
We are using ActiveBatch across multiple departments. Our collections team is using it to gather customer payment history from a Microsoft SQL database. Our billing application runs through ActiveBatch and feeds the billing data to the data warehouse. Through ActiveBatch, our business unit's reports are made available, or they receive ActiveBatch alerts indicating an error occurred in the data generation and details about the error.
- ActiveBatch does Microsoft SQL jobs well, providing centralized configurations.
- The scheduling options and flexibility is very good in ActiveBatch.
- The ability to restrict ActiveBatch users to specific areas of the application is easy to manage.
- The Oracle connectivity and error detection is challenging and doesn't always work for us.
- The UI for administration is overwhelming as first and could be simplified.
- I have not been involved in the purchase or contract negotiation of our Active Batch purchase, therefore am unable to comment on the ROI.
