Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use ActiveBatch to run our DW Informatica workflows, daily tableau reports, analytics jobs, and ICEDQ rules. This allows us to minimize downtime/errors when coordinating data loads, reporting, data quality, and analysis jobs. We can also easily scheduled prod to test data refreshes which helps our team and others with development and testing priorities.
Pros
  • Makes scheduling easy to understand, follow, and rerun jobs when necessary.
  • Allows for cross-team coordination of scheduled tasks which reduces errors.
  • Makes stopping jobs easy when needed for server/database downtime.
  • Scripting enables us to easily change email addresses for failed job alerts.
  • Nested plans/jobs make creating and changing dependencies simple.
Cons
  • 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
I can only speak for our environment, but it has allowed us to get away from the unfriendly Informatica PowerCenter workflow schedule. And coordination of Informatica/Tableau/ICEDQ has been a BIG help to us. We have not tried to drill down to the Informatica session-level of detail, just stayed with running workflows. The session-level logic seemed complicated.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
ActiveBatch [Workload Automation] is used by our department to fulfill company wide needs. The main use is to control and monitor overnight processing to ensure that all processes are run successfully without need of manual intervention. We also use ActiveBatch [Workload Automation] for internal system maintenance tasks and any other processes that originally required frequent, repetitive manual intervention.
Pros
  • ActiveBatch [Workload Automation] is great for simplifying complex tasks so that users of multiple technical skill levels can create and monitor automated tasks.
  • The support team is amazing and will respond with solutions and answers to questions or issues very quickly.
  • ActiveBatch [Workload Automation] does a great job of adding new features and enhancements to the product based on customer feedback.
Cons
  • ActiveBatch [Workload Automation] can be a little overwhelming for new users due to its many features and options.
Likelihood to Recommend
ActiveBatch [Workload Automation] works great for any type of repeatable task, and has several methods of initiating jobs that can be applicable for any environment. In our experience we have yet to find a scenario that needed automation that could not be accomplished via ActiveBatch [Workload Automation]. However, if the number of automated job needs is small, or if they are very simple jobs then ActiveBatch [Workload Automation] might be overkill in those types of situations.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Active batch 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 orders.
Other features are good display, has enormous options to work, user interface is excellent, can do almost all activities
Pros
  • Excellent Business development software
  • Very good in planning customer orders
  • Very good software for all kind of tracking
Cons
  • Some customization features to be provided so that we can tweak a software a bit
  • Regular training to be provided
  • for new user it is bit difficult to adjust
Likelihood to Recommend
Because there are so many alternatives, quick training is really necessary. Overall, using this programme, which offers practically everything you need for whatever organisation you work in (IT, manufacturing, aerospace, logistics, etc.), felt like a life-changing event.This application has made life so much simpler for us that we can quickly manage our supply, make decisions about future purchases, and fulfil customer requests while making plans accordingly. With an approved supplier list and tracking it, purchasing the necessary electrical goods became incredibly simple for IT professionals.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
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.
Pros
  • 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.
Cons
  • 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
ActiveBatch is an excellent tool to distribute to multiple teams across the organization, allowing developers, application support, business units as well as mangers to create the tasks they need and maintain their configurations, without having to wait on a central point of support.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
The pre built job function in ActiveBatch Workload Automation helped the team in accelerate the automation process by facilitating us to skip the steps required to create a job function, such as identifying the need, analyzing the requirements, optimizing the process, preparing the script and monitoring the automation progress. <br><br>The team also had a swift experience in learning to use the tool as it is super user friendly and has an easy user interface. Example the drag and drop function.<br><br>The ActiveBatch job scheduler is another feature to vouch for, which helped us create a agile environment for our automation process. This feature helped us allocate tasks to the teammates and sends regular reminder to complete the task within the said timelines, this at the same time helped us project any delays we may encounter. In case of deviation the tool also helps in change management.
Pros
  • Pre defined job steps
  • Job scheduler
  • Rest API adapter
Cons
  • Would like to see dedicated technical support, the AI enabled customer support is not useful useful all the time
  • Installation support and installation guide to help smooth installation of the process
Likelihood to Recommend
There are number of pre built job steps which are ready to run from the huge library. This helped us save time by not starting from scratch and writing scripts. The tool also is compatible with most of the extensions and easy to connect without any hassle and does not require to set up enablers, thanks to the REST API adapter.
