    Any large business or organisation that wants to manage their workload effectively and with the least amount of room for error might choose the ActiveBatch Automation tool. Being a consultant I feel that It aids in task automation and has the flexibility to change in response to varying company requirements. It helps to save huge time by doing all the repetitive tasks on daily basis. During the patching activity the schedulers can be stopped. It also help by alerting us if any system/job is down so that SLA can be saved. Overall ActiveBatch Automation stands as a dependable cornerstone for ensuring the seamless operation of our tasks.

    While there's some things I'd love to see and maybe they will one day, I think this platform is an EXCELLENT choice for someone looking to automate forms. I love not having to manually update a spreadsheet daily, this is more of a set up and forget process although there are times that the automation fails and has to be done manually

    Pros
    Redwood Software
    • Businesses can use ActiveBatch to plan tasks based on parameters like frequency, dependencies, and the time of day. By automating typical actions like backups and data transfers, businesses can make sure that crucial operations go off without a hitch.
    • Multiple systems and apps can be used in complicated workflows that ActiveBatch can automate. For instance, it can automate a workflow for processing orders from beginning to end, from the customer order through inventory control and delivery through the processing of invoices and payments.
    • Files can be sent between many platforms and systems safely with ActiveBatch. Transfers to cloud-based storage systems like Amazon S3 and Microsoft Azure are also included in this. SFTP and FTP transfers are also included.

    Cons
    Redwood Software
    • On RARE occasions, have seen scheduling properties changed that don't take effect.
    • Simpler to understand/more robust reporting options would be nice to have.
    • Maybe I'm missing something, but why doesn't the Instances view show completion time? Just execution time and duration.

    • On occasion, bots need to be reset/removed in order to work.
    • I wish there was a way to add a quick document before sending something out similar to DocuSign envelopes. Versioning is very helpful but I do wish there was a way to prepare a form for sending, add in a quickly customized document and a field or two, and send it to just that person.
    • Being able to assign fields while in the field editor would be helpful!

    Usability
    Redwood Software
    We can easily add new plans/jobs in our batch schedules. Also, coordination with reporting and QA jobs is simple to do. Building schedules, restarting jobs, triggering dependencies is easy to understand. The system is very stable and allows us to easily see overall processing times.

    It seems airSlate designers spent a significant amount of time ensuring the product is easy to use and appealing. They were able to accomplish this without sacrificing functionality and quality. The interface isn't cluttered and allows end-user to get going with minimal training. Designing workflows is a snap with the drag and drop "bots" (functions).

    I have reached out to airSlate support a number of times during setup and after. The platform includes a built-in support chat that is very convenient and fast. I'm able to get the answers I need is less time than it takes with any other software I use. And I don't need to pick up a phone or write an email and wait for a response. They support staff is very knowledgeable and accommodating

    The workload automation solution is based on the specific needs of an organization, as well as the features, capabilities, and costs of various solutions. A thorough evaluation process and consideration of these factors can help ensure the selection of a solution that aligns with overall business objectives and meets the specific needs of the organization.

    We had been unable to get much attention from DocuSign support/sales when we decided we wanted to connect forms to Salesforce. I stumbled across airSlate on the appExchange, and their sales team was responsive and helpful. I haven't worked in DocuSign myself, but my users tell me that airSlate forms are much cleaner.

    Return on Investment
    Redwood Software
    • I have not run numbers to determine hard impact, but a quick estimate is that at least one job is running for a average of about 6 hours per day - that 6 hours, if done by hand, would equate to about 30 - 40 hours per day (and in some cases, could not be duplicated manually, as the job repeats faster than a person could accomplish one cycle.)

    • Time saved on downloading documents, they are automatically added to our Google Drive.
    • Capability to edit each document without creating a whole new template saves a lot of time.
    • Cuts down on volunteers needed to do intake paperwork with a patient.
