Automation has replaced nightly monitoring and delivers reliable, unified job scheduling
We have really enjoyed working with JAMS in terms of notifications, alerts, and streamlining. There used to be a process with Automate, which is another product from Fortra, but even before that, the other division of the company that we were merging with had a tool that was built in-house called a file handler or file distributor. It was an in-house developed tool, but it was not as streamlined or as efficient as JAMS is. We literally had to have a dedicated nighttime person monitoring. Although we are 24/7, the divisions of the company that we were using JAMS for have been small scale. While we have automated it, we have streamlined it in such a way that notifications go out and alerts go out, but if there is anything, then we get paged and alerted, and if anything needs to happen at midnight, we can wake up. On the other hand, with the tool I mentioned, the file handler and distributor, we used to have a dedicated nighttime person that had to be sitting and monitoring it to see when a file arrived, whether it met the conditions, and then execute the next particular job. By using JAMS, we have gained a lot more efficiencies in terms of all of those to streamline it, and there is no necessary need for having an overnight engineer just keeping an eye on all of this.

Future-proof and powerful with great support
Improvements include: 1) Cost of the Software. Redwood is more expensive than most of the other Automation Software available today; they could make it budget-friendly. 2) It has limited reporting features. Some basic reporting features are missing. 3) There is no option to extract data in Excel. This feature could help in finding errors in the data. 4) Integration with ServiceNow is not supported. 5) The cloud platform compatibility is not up to the mark. 6) Security standards need to be improved. 7) Handling failure is not great; the workflow stops when a job fails and human intervention is required. 8) Configuration and set-up are difficult for someone with less coding knowledge. 9) They need to provide more documentation to assist new users.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"JAMS has positively impacted our organization by saving us time, reducing errors, and improving workflows."
"The product is easy to use."
"The key benefits about JAMS is having the ability to run long running jobs on-premise as compared to products like Azure Data Factory."
"The most valuable feature is the easily accessible data in the database because we run a lot of SQL scripting against the database."
"I appreciate JAMS for its readily available templates that allow me to create and deliver stand-up presentations within minutes quickly."
"The planning capabilities are most valuable."
"In summary, this product is top class."
"JAMS has improved our productivity immensely because everything flows. I don't think we could operate at our current staffing levels without it."
"Integrity, ease of use, user-friendly user interface, and errorless logs are the most valuable features."
"The Jitterbit Salesforce Data Loader has allowed my team to be creative with the cost effective solutions that we propose to clients, since the Data Loader solution is free."
"It really simplifies integrations, especially Salesforce related integrations."
"Easy integration with Salesforce Point and click Wizards"
"It runs like an appliance and has tremendous throughput."
"The pre-configured connectors to systems like SAP and Salesforce make it extremely easy for someone who wants to integrate these two systems."
"We only use small parts of the solution, however, the parts that we use are quite adequate."
"It does a lot of out of the box job control, which is very good."
"REL expressions are quite helpful for setting up the preconditions."
"The best feature I love about Redwood is the real-time event monitoring and alerting."
"Redwood helps us to schedule batch jobs on a daily, weekly, and yearly basis to keep the business running smoothly."
"We can create and test micro-workflows to find defects sooner."
"This program works with every browser."
"The automated alert response is very useful for long-running and failed jobs during off-business hours."
"It conjures simplicity from the depths of complexity, effortlessly shouldering burdensome workloads."
"Redwood manages all complex job workflow processes."
 

Cons

"We have had a lot of people working from home who can't always connect to the JAMS server. We use VPN, as most companies do, and we have it set up so that everybody can access the JAMS server. But many times, our people cannot access it... JAMS could do a better job of telling you what the problem is when you try to log in to the server."
"The UI is completely unintuitive. We had to go and open up a support ticket with JAMS just to get something back."
"When looking at a folder in JAMS with many jobs, it would be good to have better information in the list display of what's inside those jobs. We get some information, but other important details are missing."
"The tabs in the JAMS file transfer could be clearer. It would help us demonstrate to our client that JAMS not only automates jobs but also does fast transfers, and it's an alternative that supports and filters different kinds of platforms. Filtering file transfers will be highly beneficial to them."
"They recently switched to subscription-based pricing, which increased."
"In terms of improvements, I believe JAMS can enhance its user interface for better user experiences."
"All my machines at work are Macs. JAMS client is a Windows-based thing."
"JAMS has built-in reporting. I've never really used it. I tried using it a few years ago and I couldn't figure it out. It was wonky. It could be improved upon."
"I would like the ability to offer a dedicated cloud version for security."
"At the time, the scheduling and error handling left room for improvement. The execution of scheduled tasks was less reliable than it could be."
"The initial setup was pretty complex."
"Sometimes additional connectors are needed."
"Its API management capabilities need improvement."
"The initial setup can be a little bit difficult."
"I know with Salesforce updating the UI like they did, it slowed it down a lot."
"Sometimes we experience disconnections and I have to close all Jitterbit programs."
"The product can improve customer service."
"Redwood automation software could be made more user-friendly and intuitive, making chores and automation processes easier for users to complete."
"Redwood RunMyJobs should add more good features."
"Adding machine learning and AI capabilities would enable Redwood to automate more complex business processes and tasks."
"The addition of machine learning capabilities could help Redwood Workload Automation Software better predict job and workflow performance, detect anomalies, and optimize operations based on historical data."
"The price wise, it is not affordable. When we compare with other industry leading softwares and even the same scale, there are certain softwares that can compete with Redwood, but Redwood is very highly paced.So it is more SAP friendly, I would say, at this point. Since it was owned by SAP for very long time, they have made it SAP friendly. But if you look at the tool as a enterprise tool. Like, in general, it is not really that great as a tool. So you can you have better options when you couple it with SAP. But if you would like to control your enterprise level applications, anything after that, like, Azure AWS and things like that Oracle."
"We'd like to see an integration with ServiceNow to raise the tickets/incidents in ServiceNow."
"They should be made more cost-effective in comparison to similar software services."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was $10,000 for the first year. Then, there is a maintenance cost for licensing every year that we get billed $5,000 for every year."
"Take advantage of its scalability. You can start small. The initial cost is very reasonable. Once you have started picking up the tool and adopting it, then you can scale up from there and buy more agents."
"In the end, you'll find that it's really worth the price. There is some sticker shock, but it's worth every dime."
"JAMS is priced competitively compared to similar solutions and offers flexible licensing options to cater to user needs."
"The pricing of JAMS has not been an issue for us, as it has allowed us to save time."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Our licensing is pretty cheap because we have a state solution. So, we pay only $1,000 a year."
"The product is reasonably priced, and we don't have any add-ons."
"The Jitterbit price is based upon endpoints. They also offer ERP connectors with their Enterprise edition"
"The solution's cost is mid-ranged compared to other vendors."
"The added bonus is that Jitterbit doesn't charge for any data volume/traffic."
"Jitterbit was extremely cost effective for us compared to other options."
"I do believe Jitterbit has one of the better pricing and licensing options out there compared to its competitors."
"Each business needs to determine if it is a mission critical aspect."
"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."
