Redwood RunMyJobs Reviews

The product has proven to be beneficial for businesses, resulting in a satisfied client and a live system. The ROI is highly rated and is attributed to the time-saving features and job-tracking capabilities. The ROI is also observed through faster job scheduling and alerts. 

Users have found that Redwood offers lower setup costs and pricing compared to competitors like Control-M and UC4. They appreciate that the software delivers good functionality at a reasonable price point. 

While the setup cost may be slightly expensive, users believe that the product is worth it, especially considering the great user framework. Redwood is regarded as a low-cost scheduling application and is recommended for its perfect pricing. 

Users find it cost-effective and appreciate the ease of the license renewal process. It is worth noting that the pricing model of Redwood surprised some users, as it is based on the number of job executions rather than the traditional pricing based on connection to agents. 

• "It initially surprised me because we went from an application that was priced by connection to agents/the number of agents to an application that was priced based on the number of job executions. At that time, many of the products we looked at were also priced on job execution. That seems to be more common in the business or in the vendors that provide solutions out there, but that was probably our biggest difference."
