Provides application integration and reduces time and effort during upgrades
One of the most valuable aspects was its impact on reducing time and effort during upgrades. Previously, SAP upgrades required significant coordination with multiple teams. Now, thanks to our streamlined integration approach, the SAP team interacts primarily with the integration team. When changes are needed, we simply create a new version. This allows application teams to migrate gradually from the old version to the new one, without extensive involvement from the SAP team. Moreover, our approach has improved reliability by eliminating duplicated efforts. Previously, different teams would often duplicate data sets due to inefficiencies in data naming conventions. We centralized data integration, ensuring that all applications use the same data set.

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

"It's easy to develop APIs."
"I have found several things most valuable, including its very quick implementation that you can use a lot of out of the box templates, and lastly that it is a very mature product, especially in hybrid integration."
"The ability to define multi-tiered APIs and reuse them is a fantastic platform feature."
"The most valuable feature is the variety of characters Anypoint Platform has. It is very scalable and customizable."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"MuleSoft's integration with Salesforce products makes it a preferred choice for those setups."
"Mule works very well with Salesforce and CRMs."
"The tool's visual features are attractive."
"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."
"There are various ways in which you can construct jobs depending on your business needs and requirements."
"We can create and test micro-workflows to find defects sooner."
"Redwood RunMyJobs has been very useful for job scheduling and checking and monitoring jobs."
"This program works with every browser."
"It conjures simplicity from the depths of complexity, effortlessly shouldering burdensome workloads."
"Error handling and the recovery feature ensure that my job processes are not stopped if any error occurs."
"We can achieve anything that anything that we would like to do. In SAP, it's not generally possible with just with SAP. So we have solution manager as an option, but run by job."
 

Cons

"Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced...Mule Anypoint Platform can get too complex for non-technical people."
"The solution's licensing model is expensive and could be improved."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is complex for beginners. Users without programming skills will find it complex. It should also improve its pricing."
"The terms of use and how it's priced has become very difficult to manage, which is forcing us to look for alternatives already - and we haven't even been using it for that long just yet."
"The pricing can be a little bit less."
"The solution is very expensive. They need to work on the pricing."
"Mule Anypoint Platform should improve its pricing. In my experience, a customer using the sandbox version couldn't upgrade to the final version because it exceeded their budget. Another area for improvement is the login mechanism. We need to integrate with third-party products for strong authentication, but it would be better if MuleSoft had its own robust login mechanism."
"From a monitoring point of view, MuleSoft Anypoint Platform can improve on tracking transactions."
"Redwood automation software could be made more user-friendly and intuitive, making chores and automation processes easier for users to complete."
"They should be made more cost-effective in comparison to similar software services."
"The solution should have more focus on security standards."
"Currently, our developers aren't able to access their own objects in the user acceptance testing server and production system server as they are assigned the developer access role, which is kind of a solid role, and no changes or additions can be made to it."
"The dashboard provided can be made more visually appealing and could include more critical data that would help associates in one glance get the required information."
"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."
"The product can improve customer service."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is heavily bundle-priced. I rate the solution’s pricing five on a scale of ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap."
"The product is still very expensive."
"Making changes in Anypoint MQ is expensive."
"The licensing is core-based. My customers tell me that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites."
"The product comes complete at one set price including support."
"The solution has a high price."
"Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced."
"The solution is the priciest in the market which is an issue for some clients."
"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."
