I rate Rocket Zena a nine out of ten. When implementing Zena, you should consider how you want to structure your jobs. For example, do you want to group it by division or by the server where the job will run? Initial planning can be helpful. If you don't have that and start building lots of jobs without structure, it's much harder to manage as the number of jobs grows.

It does take a while to learn, but once you learn it, it's fairly easy to navigate your way around it. Once you master it, it's a pretty good tool. We've recently started moving into cloud environments. I don't know if ASG-Zena supports cloud environments. That's one thing I would caution on. If there are scheduling jobs that you need to run on the cloud platform, do your homework and make sure that they will execute on the cloud. I would rate it a nine out of ten.
We would recommend that organizations considering this solution undertake some pre-implementation training, due to the complex nature of the product. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

It is a very stable product, and it has a long-term history of reliability. However, in our organization, we're moving away from mainframes. They just do not fit with where we're going architecturally. My advice would be to not go for mainframe solutions because mainframes are dead. I would rate ASG-Zena an eight out of ten.

I would rate it a ten out of ten because we are happy with it. I would recommend using this solution on Linux or AIX because the performance is better. It's more secure and stable. We haven't had any problems since we installed it. It runs as expected, we haven't had any critical problems. It helps keep the business running 24/7. There is a lot to learn from it. Zena can be used in many applications. In the next release, I would like the user experience to be improved. The user interface should be more appealing to gen-z.
