My organization is utilizing Rocket Software's Zena Batch Automation Software. Our overall experience with the product has been overwhelmingly positive. Quickly after being onboarded into our organization Zena has become entrenched throughout our ecosystem as the preferred standard for batch job automation. The insight provided by Zena to manage and monitor critical business batch jobs gives us actionable insight for the health of our batch cycles.

When we deployed back in 2014, it seems there wasn't enough expertise (support team) to address all our issues.

    Great tool with an easy implementation process. Only big issue I have is that the response time for my support request took a little longer than expected.

    Proper implementation

    Jan 24, 2019
    I must clarify that to develop a good service should perform these functions within its general function and I consider that Rocket is fulfilling these functions from the point that began to implement, I really like to be able to purchase products and in this case it was a software that is helping us very well, it is a very powerful tool that applies very well in the system to be able to restore these functions, my experience so far is very good because its function is very simple and works very well in what must be fulfilled

Performance of Rocket Software Across Market Features

Rocket Software Likes & Dislikes

Like

The new Zena Web Client is a great modern upgrade to the old desktop client. This has come with a host of new enhancements to Zena for both our administrators and batch job owners. The Zena API that was enhanced with the new Zean Web Client has been a game changer for our developers to build process metrics surround our batch cycles. The Roles within the Zena Web Client that integrate to Active Directory groups has enhanced our security access controls for batch owners and developers.

Like

easy to navigate.

Like

The implementation process was really simple, especially compared to the competition.

Dislike

The Zena Web Client API has some data pieces that are missing that could be added to further extend its usability. The Role access controls need to be more granular than they currently are to give better ability for fine tuning. The Folder access controls need to give more granular controls to be able to give users more fine grained access where needed.

Dislike

Back in 2013/2014, the searches were quite slow, at least this was the feedback we were getting from our engineering customers.

Dislike

The amount of time it took to hear back from my service request was a little high.
