" April 9, 2018 5.0 This application is the driving force at First Rate Inc. It flawlessly runs all of our overnight processing jobs and helps us to see performance trends. It help us to meet our SLA's wit our clients. Hands down one of the greatest software applications ever devised and keeps getting better! Pros If it's digital this application can probably create an automated task to do whatever you need, and do it extremely efficient. We have come up with some very complex plans/Jobs and I doubt we have even scratched the surface on what this application is capable of doing. I cannot stress enough how Active Batch can transform your company! The ROI on this application is astronomical. Once you see how powerful it is you will agree. I'm not being paid to say these things, I like and breath Active Batch almost every day and I always say, how did we stay in business before we started using Active Batch! Cons It's a complicated piece of software and we found it a little difficult to wrap our brains around the creating of jobs, and variables, however, ASCI support is the best in the business and they worked with us to get like the first 10 jobs working and from those 10 we were able to really branch out quickly.

First, It helps in managing the Queues of messages from Queue Manager and the speed is also faster while sending the messages sequentially.Second, It follows centralized management and monitoring technology that minimizes human interventions and saves a lot of time. Pros ActiveBatch is a user-friendly Automation tool that has a functionality of automatic scheduling of messages from single source to multiple targets and vice-versa. The best part of this is that we can schedule the timer according to our business needs, no need of manual triggering. It helps to increase the speed while consuming APIs/Web services to any endpoint.It is easier to install as well documented guide is provided by them.It requires no pre requisite knowledge of any automation tool, any new user can easily use it according to the project he is working on. Cons There is no such thing that I like least about ActiveBatch but one thing that can be worked upon is the configuration part after the post-release that happens when update comes.

September 1, 2023 5.0 Pros We deployed ActiveBacth Workload automation to execute Automated Endpoint Security Scans on our servers and network components to gain a complete view of the environment and endpoints that are secure or require an upgrade to limit the surface area for threat actors to attach. It is faster, more efficient, and decreases the risk of incorrectly scanning and reporting endpoints. Cons The integration with our security monitoring program was simple, although there were several problems that caused confusion and repeated calls to customer service. They can possibly simplify the integration and provide clear documentation to implement the integration. Review Source DH Daniel H.

March 19, 2018 4.0 We now have a better Enterprise Job Schedule in our IT shop. Pros I was tasked to find a Enterprise Job scheduler for LA Metro. I evaluated many job schedulers such as Redwood, Cisco Tidal and Activebatch. Activebatch was the one that stood out the most because of its ease to use and its features and functionality. I was able to setup the software and started to use it in 1 day. The user guide is really helpful specially the case studies. I was able to create jobs at no time. What I like most about this software is the ease of use and the versioning control. To ease the transition from other job scheduler to Activebatch, I created job templates allowing various group in ITS to convert existing jobs or create new jobs based on a template and then modify them accordingly to meet their needs. This has cut down the job creation/conversion time tremendously instead to creating them from scratch. This approach helps quickly bring ITS staff member up to speed and give them the confidence to start using ActiveBatch right the way. Finally, I would like to commend the customer support desk. They provide excellent services. I always learn something new every time I call them up. The problem resolution turnaround time is impeccable. Cons Maybe, more advance case studies should be provided on the user guide such as Crystal Report, email workflow, ActiveBatch Web Service examples, etc... Review Source Rithik G. Cybersecurity Analyst Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Automation for the Endpoint scans in our security environment" August 3, 2023 4.0 Pros ActiveBatch is a very fast and a efficient software to automate endpoint scans on our security infrastructure. We have implemented this in our project to perform endpoint scans on the servers and networks of our project in a 12 hour interval to provide us a status on the health as well update on the endpoint components. This was usually conducted by associates, but now automating this has helped us save a number of hours that can be used by the associates on critically important tasks and also automating it with AtciveBatch has reduced the scope of error. Cons The oncall support could be improved. There are several documentations and blogs to understand the integration related trouble shooting but still if the on call support can help in a more elaborate way would be very good.
