A powerful alternative to freeware task scheduling software for Windows

Streamline and simplify cross-platform job scheduling with ActiveBatch by Redwood, a true workload automation alternative to Windows Task Scheduler.

Job scheduling has never been easier

The age of limited job scheduling tools is over. Use one centralized solution to handle everything from simple scheduled jobs to automating, deploying and orchestrating complex workflows that span your entire enterprise IT environment.

Escape the limitations of freeware

Free task schedulers lack key features businesses require as they grow into more complex and multi-platform environments. Freeware task schedulers are limited by:

  • Single-platform support
  • Limited or no technical support
  • A lack of event-based triggers
  • High-touch manual coding requirements
  • Lack of monitoring/auditing tools and notifications
  • An inability to work collaboratively
  • Subpar security features and permissions

Adopt a sophisticated system scheduler

ActiveBatch reduces delays, minimizes slack time and improves SLAs while allowing you to run as many jobs as you need based on a wide variety of event types, including:

  • Email
  • FTP file event triggers and batch files
  • Message queues
  • Database modifications
  • Execution machine reboots
  • Windows startups
  • Tweets
