Product version discussed: 4.12.137
A continuously evolving, stable solution, with responsive support

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the FTP file transfer."

Cons

"The documentation has room for improvement."

Product version discussed: 4.1.1
Scheduling tasks saves me a lot of time and they run in seconds, improving my productivity

Pros

"Its FTP feature is very good, as is scheduling any process or task with the Zena client. I have found it to be very helpful. If a task fails, it gives you a prompt."

Cons

"One area where it could be improved is communication between the different servers. Sometimes there are processes that have already been completed but we get a status notification that they're still active."

Easy to scale up and down and provides a good diagram view enabling you to drill into a process and its underlying components

Pros

"You can click Ctrl-G and bring a diagram view. You're able to view in a diagram format. The view that it provides is easy, and you can move to the left, up, or down. You can double-click on a certain process. It'll drill into that process and all of its underlying components. You can double-click on an arrow or a component, and it'll bring up a screen that'll have all the variables that are assigned to that particular piece, as well as the values at run time. So, the diagram feature of it, at least for me, is pretty valuable."

Cons

"Another one that is probably a little bit bigger for me is that when there is an issue or there's an error, it writes on a different screen. I have to find the actual process name and go to a different screen to view the alert that got generated. On that screen, everyone's processes, not just the processes of the folks in my department, are thrown. It takes me a while to find the actual error so that I could go in there and look at the alert. It could be because of the way it was set up, but at least for me, it isn't too intuitive. "

Product version discussed: 4.3.1.54
The entire process is documented, so we know who requested the job and what they want to do

Pros

"In the latest upgrade, Zena added a web-based client. The more I use it, the more I like it. It's an excellent interface. They do a good job of steadily improving the solution to make it more useful. "

Cons

"In the web interface, it stacks the tasks across the top, and they accumulate until you close or clean those out. That seems a little cumbersome. You must right-click and close all tabs constantly to keep the console clean and manage your views. "

Helps to schedule jobs and avoid manual, repetitive tasks

Pros

"I like the whole product, but specifically, I like the license part. It's very easy to acquire a license for this product."

Cons

"Rocket Zena is a mainframe-based job scheduler. I would like it to be more open so that we can use it on a distributed platform. "

Has straightforward Linux configuration, but the UI is not intuitive and is outdated

Pros

"From a Linux configuration point of view, Rocket Zena is straightforward. It's fairly easy to set up the server and agents once you know how to do it."

Cons

"The UI is not intuitive, and it would be nice if there was a web interface."

A stable and reliable product that provides quick visualizations to see where things are

Pros

"I have found the scheduling feature the most valuable. I can map dependencies by using ASG-Zena. It gives a nice, quick visualization as to where things are."

Cons

"The scheduling mapping is a little disjointed. There is no wizard-type approach. There are a lot of different things that you have to do in completely different areas. They could probably add the functionality for creating all components of a mapping or an OPA schedule. The component creation could be done collectively rather than through individual components."

Helps keep the business running 24/7 and has good integration

Pros

"We haven't had any problems since we installed it. It runs as expected, we haven't had any critical problems. It helps keeps the business running 24/7. "

Cons

"In the next release, I would like the user experience to be improved. The user interface should be more appealing to gen-z. "
