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 automation is one of the best automation tool in managing the workload of an organization. The best part is that It's directly connected to the heart of our system where we runs more than 10000 jobs on the daily basis. It helps us to save a lot of time by doing all the repetitive tasks very efficiently with no error. It serves as a centralized hub for overseeing, scheduling, and governing workflows, tasks, and jobs, encompassing functions such as task scheduling, data manipulation, and file transfers, among other capabilities.
Pros
  • The mechanics of alerting are at their peak performance, offering notifications for any job that experiences a failure, encounters extended processing time, or successfully reaches completion.
  • Triggering the jobs at selected frequencies
  • plug and play API features.
Cons
  • I feel sometime that UI could be more better
  • Training videos are not available for new users
  • sometimes It fails to triggers the jobs on time
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

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.

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
ActiveBatch Workload Automation may be employed in a wide range of sectors and applications, including banking, healthcare, manufacturing, and information technology operations. It may be used to plan and make payments, track account balances, and produce audit and compliance reports. It is also useful for optimizing production lines, managing inventory levels, and coordinating shipping and logistics. The particular use cases for ActiveBatch will be determined by each organization's needs and requirements.
Pros
  • It offers graphical workflow builder that allows you to construct and change processes by dragging and dropping elements and utilizing predefined templates.
  • It offers intelligent queuing system that optimizes resource allocation and load balancing based on priority, availability, and dependencies.
  • It offers robust alerting and notification system that notifies you of any difficulties or failures in processes and offers remedy choices.
Cons
  • The user interface might be more straightforward and user-friendly, particularly for inexperienced or new users. Some functions are hidden behind menus or need many clicks to reach. More customization options, such as themes, layouts, and shortcuts, might further help the interface.
  • Integration with other programmes and systems might be smoother and more comprehensive. Manual configuration or scripting is required for some integrations, which can be time-consuming and error-prone. Some integrations, such as cloud services, databases, or online services, are also limited in functionality or compatibility.
  • To handle larger and more complicated workloads, performance and scalability could be increased. When working with large amounts of data or tasks, some users have encountered delayed loading times, crashes, or freezes. More optimisation options, such as load balancing, caching, or parallel processing, might potentially help the system.
Likelihood to Recommend
When only basic or isolated tasks that do not require coordination or integration with other systems or applications must be performed. In this scenario, ActiveBatch may be overkill, and you may be able to fulfil your goals using simpler tools or scripts. When you have highly specialized or bespoke requirements that ActiveBatch does not cover out of the box or through its existing connectors. In this instance, you may need to create new scripts or extensions to make ActiveBatch function for your specific requirements, which may raise the complexity and maintenance expenses of your solution.
