I am using ActiveBatch Workload Automation for a while now, and it definitely made the process of task management and execution easier for me as a mobile application development engineer. The availability of templated jobs has brought me remarkably time-saving, especially with the approach of variable replacement that fits perfectly with dynamic data handling in app creation.

Nevertheless, script management on Active Batch is somehow complicated, especially with regard to handling power shell scripts as well as planning automation for the larger and more complex systems. At times the interface is a bit heavy what means that it can slow down my workflow when I have to perform tasks fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ActiveBatch workload automation can integrate with a wide variety of platform and programming/scripting languages. Their customer support is flexible and fast.

We have implemented ActiveBacth Workload automation to perform Automated Endpoint security scans on our severs and networks components to have a complete picture of the environment and the endpoints are secured or need and upgrade to reduce the surface area for attach by threat actors. It is a faster, more efficent and also reduces the error scope for not scanning the endpoints correctly and reporting it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The integration with our security monitoring tool was little hassel as it had little hiccups while integrating leading to confusions and frequent calls with customer support.

The documentation and initial setup were a little hazy; greater specifics and a few more video lectures would have greatly reduced our time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
