"Approximately ~20 hours of manual effort have been reduced to ~5 hours with the help of ActiveBatch."
"We use the main job-scheduling feature. It's the only thing we use in the tool. That's the reason we are using the tool: to reduce costs by replacing manual tasks with automated tasks and to perform regular, repetitive tasks in a more reliable way."
"For developers, it is easy to orchestrate the workflows and the integration has been very easy."
"The product offers a centralized platform for managing activities across many environments, applications, etc."

"It is very easy to build integrations and processes to pull and push data."
"Integrity, ease of use, user-friendly user interface, and errorless logs are the most valuable features."
"The fluid user interface (probably the most user friendly interface, when compared to its competitors)."
"ActiveBatch is a little complex."
"Some improvements can be made to the user interface."
"There are very few documents that provide us with detailed information on the troubleshooting of errors that occur during integration with the existing environment."
"A cloud option is not provided as a free feature, making it a costly solution for smaller organizations."
"They have some crucial design flaws within the console that still need to be worked out because it is not working exactly how we hoped to see it, e.g., just some minor things where when you hit the save button, then all of a sudden all your job's library items collapse. Then, in order to continue on with your testing, you have to open those back up. I have taken that to them, and they are like, "Yep. We know about it. We know we have some enhancements that need to be taken care of. We have more developers now." They are working towards taking the minor things that annoy us, resolving them, and getting them fixed."
"There are some issues with this version and finding the jobs that it ran. If you're looking at 1,000 different jobs, it shows based on the execution time, not necessarily the run time. So, if there was a constraint waiting, you may be looking for it in the wrong time frame. Plus, with thousands of jobs showing up and the way it pages output jobs, sometimes you end up with multiple pages on the screen, then you have to go through to find the specific job you're looking for. On the opposite side, you can limit the daily activity screen to show only jobs that failed or jobs currently running, which will shrink that back down. However, we have operators who are looking at the whole nightly cycle to make sure everything is there and make sure nothing got blocked or was waiting. Sometimes, they have a hard time finding every item within the list."
"Setting up the software was hard."
"We have faced a couple of issues where we were supposed to log a defect with ActiveBatch. That said, the Active batch Vendor Support is very responsive and reliable."

"There were some bugs in the product. For example if you run a delete query and test, it deletes the actual data."
"I would like the ability to offer a dedicated cloud version for security."
"Looping through complex data structures can be difficult."
"In the past few months, there have been some server downtimes during work hours that have affected some critical scheduled integrations."
"You need to have some development skills or hire a Jitterbit engineer to make changes."
"Sometimes we experience disconnections and I have to close all Jitterbit programs."
"Its API management capabilities need improvement."
