We performed a comparison between ActiveBatch by Redwood and SolarWinds Serv-U File Transfer Protocol Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Progress Software, BMC, IBM and others in Managed File Transfer (MFT)."ActiveBatch can automate predictable, repeatable processes very well. There is no real trick to what ActiveBatch does. ActiveBatch does exactly what you would expect a scheduling piece of software to do. It does it in a timely manner and does it with very little outside interference and fanfare. It runs when it is supposed to, and I don't have to jump through a bunch of hoops to double check it."
"We are able to integrate it into multiple third-party tools like email, backup, tracking systems, SharePoint, Slack alerts, etc."
"Using this tool, if there are any huge failures, we immediately get an email notification, and the proper team will be informed, at which time they can act accordingly."
"ActiveBatch's Self-Service Portal allows our business units to run and monitor their own workloads. They can simply run and review the logs, but they can't modify them. It increases their productivity because they are able to take care of things on their own. It saves us time from having to rerun the scripts, because the business units can just go ahead and log in and and rerun it themselves."
"ActiveBatch has reduced work by providing automated workflows across several different applications."
"There are hundreds of pre-built steps."
"Easy to configure and simple to develop new features."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to trigger workflows, one after another, based on success, without having to worry about overlapping workflows. The ability to integrate our BI, analytics, and our data quality jobs is also valuable"
"We use SolarWinds Serv-U File Transfer Protocol Server for internal file transfer."
"Providing some detailed training materials could be very helpful for new users who have very limited technical information about the tool."
"A cloud option is not provided as a free feature, making it a costly solution for smaller organizations."
"I have faced struggles to understand, set up the tool, and implement it in my early days as a new user."
"The monitoring dashboard could have been more user-friendly so that in the monitoring dashboard itself we can see the total number of jobs created in the system and how many were currently active/scheduled/chained."
"The UI could potentially offer a more refined and user-friendly experience, fostering smoother interactions and facilitating easier navigation for users engaging with the application."
"It does have a little bit of a learning curve because it is fairly complex. You have to learn how it does things. I don't know if it's any worse than any other tool would be, just because of the nature of what it does... the learning curve is the hardest part."
"ActiveBatch UI could use a little more help, and video tutorials would be greatly appreciated for user guides."
"The product should be improved by providing a customization option."
"The solution’s technical support should be improved."
