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

"I find the historical tracking feature of JAMS invaluable for reviewing past events."
"JAMS has been a beneficial monitoring tool for our project in terms of being able to deliver data that is essential for users."
"Getting JAMS in place was a game changer for us back then."
"It's worth its weight in gold and we cannot get rid of it now."
"Previously, we manually managed file transfers by writing our scripts. The automated MFT feature is great for me and the company. It helps us know where the files are going and enables us to track errors if anything fails. It also makes the connection seamless for third-party vendors."
"While I appreciate the other features, the agent stands out for its ease of installation and configuration for JAMS monitoring."
"Our company is based on data. Everything we do is data-driven, so it has been very valuable having one place where we can process all of the data and do batch schedules with chunks of data."
"The built-in triggers are great."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Jitterbit provides the ability to quickly map data between files and databases."
"We only use small parts of the solution, however, the parts that we use are quite adequate."
"It really simplifies integrations, especially Salesforce related integrations."
"The fluid user interface (probably the most user friendly interface, when compared to its competitors)."
"It is very easy to build integrations and processes to pull and push data."
"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."
"REL expressions are quite helpful for setting up the preconditions."
"It conjures simplicity from the depths of complexity, effortlessly shouldering burdensome workloads."
"Our team was able to integrate it with the ITSM tool as well as security monitoring tools to make the incident creation process automatically feasible."
"In Redwood Automation, we can easily fetch the daily reports from the system as per the client's requirement and track the status of every job which is running, aborted, or canceled."
"There won't be a memory outage issue, as it uses its own server/ECC memory only."
"This tool helps us to monitor the job related to SAP modules."
"There are various ways in which you can construct jobs depending on your business needs and requirements."
"It's a very powerful tool. It has a lot of flexibility for how you can define jobs and build them. There are different ways in which you can construct jobs depending on your specific needs and requirements."
 

Cons

"To improve JAMS, it should resolve the issues with the JD Edwards application and the need for the SSH agent in the current version, which has been a problem for a while."
"All my machines at work are Macs. JAMS client is a Windows-based thing."
"The UI could be better. There were some things that were not quite intuitive, such as the search tool. When we tried to search for jobs, we had to clear the entire search and then go in and enter the new search query. That's something that wasn't intuitive for a new user."
"Sometimes the UI is not the most responsive I've ever used. But because it does its job, I don't complain."
"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."
"With no programming experience, I find JAMS code-driven automation challenging due to the required PowerShell scripting."
"JAMS could be improved with a web client that is accessible and as fast as a normal website, eliminating the need to RDP to the servers to access the JAMS client."
"I want JAMS to implement a global search function."
"Sometimes additional connectors are needed."
"The only thing I would possibly change is the UI."
"Looping through complex data structures can be difficult."
"You need to have some development skills or hire a Jitterbit engineer to make changes."
"In the past few months, there have been some server downtimes during work hours that have affected some critical scheduled integrations."
"Sometimes we experience disconnections and I have to close all Jitterbit programs."
"There were some bugs in the product. For example if you run a delete query and test, it deletes the actual data."
"The initial setup was pretty complex."
"Redwood Software has a high price tag, especially for small and medium-sized businesses that might not have the funds to engage in a complete automation system."
"Having a graphical user interface for the dashboard would be great."
"They should be made more cost-effective in comparison to similar software services."
"There is a lack of resources and product documentation which, if included, would help to gain more knowledge about the application."
"Redwood RunMyJobs should add more good features."
"The only issue at first was that we had to manually delete or raise the event in order to run some of the events and wait for jobs, even if the file was kept at the correct AL11 position."
"The documentation for this product is limited, which can be improved in the future."
"The product can improve customer service."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"JAMS is close to the lower end of the pricing models for enterprise scheduling solutions. They are much cheaper than Control-M, as well as some other products that I've used. I also don't know of another solution where you can actually get true, unlimited licensing, where you can have as many instances and as many agents as you want."
"It's certainly a lot cheaper than Tivoli and Control-M. In comparison to them, you get a lot more bang for your buck. You get pretty much the whole functionality and more, in some cases, when compared to Control-M, but at a fraction of the price."
"Fortra's JAMS pricing structure has deteriorated significantly since its acquisition by Fortra."
"I haven't been involved in the financial side for several years, but we buy one host and unlimited agents, and we get a reasonable price for that. We're happy with the amount we pay and the scalability it provides."
"In the end, you'll find that it's really worth the price. There is some sticker shock, but it's worth every dime."
"The pricing of JAMS has not been an issue for us, as it has allowed us to save time."
"The product is reasonably priced, and we don't have any add-ons."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The solution's cost is mid-ranged compared to other vendors."
"I do believe Jitterbit has one of the better pricing and licensing options out there compared to its competitors."
"The added bonus is that Jitterbit doesn't charge for any data volume/traffic."
"Each business needs to determine if it is a mission critical aspect."
"Jitterbit was extremely cost effective for us compared to other options."
"The Jitterbit price is based upon endpoints. They also offer ERP connectors with their Enterprise edition"
"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."
