Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Job Scheduling was something which used to take alot of time and also need an resource everytime to monitor them with the help of ActiveBatch Workload Automation we can schedule the jobs automatically to a particular time and we do not require any resource to run them. Active Batch also restarts itself when there is failure of jobs. Alerting, Monitoring has also become easy with ActiveBatch. it also provides the option of triggers we can eliminate or reduce the use of Boiler Plate code and we can automate triggers based on event/action. This was helping me alot.
Pros
  • Automatic Job Scheduling
  • jobs functioning automatically with the help off triggers.
  • Streamlining entire Workflow
Cons
  • Triggers fails at times causes a lot of trouble it has to looked
  • Proper Documentation of new features is required
  • UI should be Simplified
Likelihood to Recommend
Whenever there is an requirement in a team where we need to monitor web based applications we need run jobs on regular basis based on particular event, It is difficult to schedule at particular time as manual scheduling is required. with the help of ActiveBatch workload automation we can automate the Job Scheduling and we do not need any resource to schedule it. With the help of triggers we can alo automate the next event which is very useful.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use ActiveBatch Workload Automation for our IT processes and systems. Before we needed to make different complex scripts, eg powershell. Now thanks to ActiveBatch Workload Automation it is centralized in one software application.
Pros
  • schedule jobs
  • consolidation of the different object and processes
  • expand the base line of the different jobs
Cons
  • still need some scripting code
  • some objects could be better intuitive
  • learning scale
Likelihood to Recommend
ActiveBatch Workload Automation is best in large IT landscapes with a lot of business processes but less so in smaller organisations I believe. I think it is too complex for IT department that uses less than 50 objects. Because then the profit doesn't weighed the learning time.

Automating manual, repetitive tasks have never been easier!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Active Batch handles all of our nightly batch jobs including but not limited to file transfers between SFTP sites, SSRS report generation, file encryption/decryption and much more. We have several use cases for using Active Batch but one of the main drivers was having a solution to house all of our Windows Task Scheduler jobs, while task scheduler is great, it was a pain to manage and support. With Active Batch, we now have a single solution where we can see which jobs are running, how long they are running for, if they failed, and when they would run next, etc. We currently have about 1000 jobs in different Active Batch environments.
Pros
  • Alerts on job conditions such as failed, long running, or aborted.
  • Allows easy organization by associating jobs with objects and containing them within folders and/or plans.
  • Treats all items as an object which allows for continuous reuse of common items such as schedules and account credentials.
Cons
  • Sometimes execution agents can crash under heavy job load.
  • Execution agents do not auto update on their own.
  • Event based triggers are not 100% reliable.
Likelihood to Recommend
Active Batch can provide end to end automation where other tools cannot. For example, you can subscribe to a SSRS report to have it deliver the report via email or even save it somewhere but if you have Active Batch generate the report, you can do the same things but also upload it to a SFTP server or encrypt the files using PGP encryption.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
ActiveBatch is used by our organization to automate redundant tasks, both internally and externally. Many of our departments have 'jobs' they've created, to run processes that would normally occur during working hours. With ActiveBatch, these processes can now be set to 'trigger' at scheduled times throughout the day and throughout the night. This saves from having one person being assigned with running and managing the individual tasks. And since the jobs are scheduled, the processes can run during the weekends and holidays, saving employees time and the company money.
Pros
  • Easy to automate mundane tasks. Take all those batch files spread across your environment and put them in one application for management.
  • Good support site and knowledge base. If you run into issues, the support is quick to respond and assist with a resolution or advice.
  • Additional 'extensions' (plug-ins) are available, to aid ActiveBatch with interfacing with other platforms (AWS, Sharepoint, IBM and VMWare).
Cons
  • The manual could provide more examples of how to create certain jobs, otherwise you will need to check the site or call support to aid with creation.
  • Dashboard presentation could be worked on, to help present an overview for management.
Likelihood to Recommend
It's great for basic tasks or tasks that need to run in a certain sequence. Especially import/export jobs, where the next step can only work when the previous job has completed. It does have some issues where a tasks may run into an error (file location not available) and may not always prevent itself from continuing to run the job.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Use of ActiveBatch Workload Automation software has significantly reduced the time my team and I spend on various repetitive tasks like running DB jobs and reducing load on DB servers.
By streamlining complex workflows, it has not only saved manual efforts but also provided accurate results. The number of manual hours has been reduced from ~20 Hours to ~5 Hours
The software is flexible in integration with various other applications and services.
With its powerful scheduling and workflow automation abilities the tool offers us various options to streamline more complex processes.
The software is altogether a most powerful, robust and efficient in the industry with minimal human intervention requirement and high accuracy (minimal errors)


Pros
  • Regular scan of endpoint security components
  • Scheduling Jobs and managing workflow
  • Transfer data between services (AWS)
  • Streamlining workflow, eliminating repetitive tasks
Cons
  • Improvement in Permission model
  • Trigger Option needs to be enhanced.
  • not at affordable price for smaller corporates
  • GUI can be improved
Likelihood to Recommend
The software comes in more handy where the number of repetitive tasks are high specially when DB jobs are manually run at timely intervals, when there is a requirement to trigger to move to the next task and when there is a need to schedule tasks without human intervention like data transfer between various web services, etc...

Not preferred for smaller organizations due to the pricing and other automation softwares that are available in market at a lesser price.
the beginners may feel it is too complex,
