Featured Reviews

reviewer2770605 - PeerSpot reviewer
Cloud Engineer at a financial services firm with 501-1,000 employees
Has streamlined complex job scheduling across scripting languages while reducing manual effort
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. A functionality running on the JAMS server to continuously check the JAMS agents would ensure they are working properly. If an agent is not responding, a feature to restart the service from the job server machine would be beneficial. The upgrade process, particularly when switching from V6 to V7, could be clearer in terms of documentation, ideally with screenshots showing exactly what needs to be done on each screen.

An easy-to-setup solution with good stability
We use Jitterbit to connect cloud solutions with our on-premises ERP system We connect cloud solutions to our on-premise ERP system easily using Jitterbit. It is its most valuable feature.  The solution's API management capabilities need improvement. We have been using the solution for almost…

Easy to organize, monitor, and control all jobs
The most valuable aspects of the solution are: 1. The ability to schedule tasks and jobs on multiple platforms (SAP and Non-SAP) and monitor the jobs. 2. Its ability to organize, monitor, control, and schedule all jobs and activities. 3. Redwood is a more powerful tool and provision to automate any tasks/jobs than any other tool in Batch scheduling (automatic and other tools). 4. It has advanced features like dashboards where users can see all statistics. 5. It has an alert mechanism feature; if any job fails, it triggers notifications. 6. Different security functionality for restricting users to certain functions (read/write). 7. Cost Reduction, complete automation, optimized resource usage, and full audit trail. 8. Vendor support. 9. Logging and statistics.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have over 50 jobs running daily to manage all the integration of our systems and we don’t have to monitor these jobs; they just run, JAMS centralizes the management of jobs in our environment, has streamlined our monitoring, saves us about four hours a week in troubleshooting time, and has helped free up about eight hours a week of IT staff time."
"JAMS offers diverse scheduling capabilities for any kind of job, including Linux, PowerShell scripts, and SQL, enabling automation of jobs, which has proven beautiful after three years of usage."
"We also use the solution’s Interactive Agents. If we need to push something to our dealer portal, we can just drop a file in a folder and it goes. Running interactive tasks helps me users focus on business processes since I don’t have to take care of running the jobs manually."
"JAMS has improved my organization by taking a myriad of manual processes and allowing us to automate them."
"I like how you can add new execution methods on the fly. It isn't overly complex to add Python script support to an execution method in the JAMS system. The scheduling is excellent. You can schedule a maintenance window and take that resource unit out of everything. It halts all of the jobs."
"JAMS has improved our productivity immensely because everything flows. I don't think we could operate at our current staffing levels without it."
"Getting JAMS in place was a game changer for us back then."
"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."
"We only use small parts of the solution, however, the parts that we use are quite adequate."
"It is very easy to build integrations and processes to pull and push data."
"Integrity, ease of use, user-friendly user interface, and errorless logs are the most valuable features."
"It does a lot of out of the box job control, which is very good."
"Jitterbit allows us to query databases and web services, manipulate and organize data, and track the flow and the states of different processes."
"Easy integration with Salesforce"
"It runs like an appliance and has tremendous throughput."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It can centralize and support on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments seamlessly."
"This program works with every browser."
"Error handling and the recovery feature ensure that my job processes are not stopped if any error occurs."
"It has advanced features like dashboards where users can see all statistics."
"Redwood RunMyJobs has been very useful for job scheduling and checking and monitoring jobs."
"There won't be a memory outage issue, as it uses its own server/ECC memory only."
"Redwood manages all complex job workflow processes."
"Redwood is more flexible and we can schedule the tasks based on different time zones."
 

Cons

"Fortra is getting much better with documentation and examples, but there is still room for improvement."
"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 search capability needs to be improved because when we try to search for a job, it's hard to do."
"It does validations when you try to delete an object and if there are any dependencies in place, the deletion process will not proceed... there is no information provided as to what it was that caused the validation to fail... it's quite a tedious process to find which object is getting in the way."
"One issue which can prevent jobs from running is when a script gets into a loop."
"I would like a simple web interface that I could give to my team to go in and kill jobs or see why jobs died so that we don't have to drill down deeper into the application and know everything about it. It would be good to have a really clean web engine that would say here are the jobs running. We can then click to see the time running and whether any of them fails and other similar things. I know they have one, but it's not very simplistic."
"As an admin, I would like to have a web-based GUI instead of a client application that we have to install on our PCs."
"Sometimes the UI is not the most responsive I've ever used. But because it does its job, I don't complain."
"Sometimes we experience disconnections and I have to close all Jitterbit programs."
"In the past few months, there have been some server downtimes during work hours that have affected some critical scheduled integrations."
"I know with Salesforce updating the UI like they did, it slowed it down a lot."
"You need to have some development skills or hire a Jitterbit engineer to make changes."
"At the time, the scheduling and error handling left room for improvement. The execution of scheduled tasks was less reliable than it could be."
"We have experienced some scalability issues, i.e., notably around advanced data transformation, manipulations, and cleansing, which Jitterbit can't do."
"The initial setup can be a little bit difficult."
"The initial setup was pretty complex."
"The product could be better in terms of its monitoring and alert service."
"We'd like to see an integration with ServiceNow to raise the tickets/incidents in ServiceNow."
"There is a lack of resources and product documentation which, if included, would help to gain more knowledge about the application."
"The reports are downloaded in .CAR file format, which makes it difficult to convert to an Excel file."
"Having a graphical user interface for the dashboard would be great."
"The documentation for this product is limited, which can be improved in the future."
"It lacks some of the common reporting features. I'm a bit surprised that there aren't some standard reports to be able to extract any data on usage. They've described to us that customers have different reporting needs, so they let them develop those, but reporting is a common need. It would be helpful to have it as part of the solution."
"The user interface of Redwood can be improved a bit to make it more user-friendly and interesting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is very fair. We have seen very minimal to no price increases over the years. We are not banging down the door of support all the time either. I would imagine if we were a company that submitted a dozen support tickets a week for the last nine years, then it might be a little different because we would be eating up everybody's time. However, for what we get out of it, the pricing is extremely fair. Back when we were originally looking and brought in JAMS, we were looking at a couple of the other competitive products that were in this space, but the pricing from JAMS was far and away better than what the other competitors could offer for the same functionality."
"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."
"It's expensive, to be honest, but it does the job."
"The product is reasonably priced, and we don't have any add-ons."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"There are no additional costs other than the license for Fortra's JAMS which is affordable."
"For what it does, the product is priced very well."
"The added bonus is that Jitterbit doesn't charge for any data volume/traffic."
"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."
"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."
"Jitterbit was extremely cost effective for us compared to other options."
"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."
