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

"The product is very user-friendly."
"API management."
"The most valuable feature of Anypoint MQ is it comes with MuleSoft so we don't have to maintain separate components."
"The most valuable feature for me is the Exchange sub-tool."
"Messaging and queueing solution that has good stability and scalability. It can be used for a variety of messaging types."
"The tool's visual features are attractive."
"The solution is very scalable with solid performance and the capability of extending it using any custom Java in case you don't have anything out of the box. MDP is strong. It is good compared to other products regarding its capabilities in managing or orchestrating the issue load."
"We are very satisfied with the DevOps support."
"By automating the job processes it has saved us a lot of time and resources."
"Redwood manages all complex job workflow processes."
"This tool helps us to monitor the job related to SAP modules."
"Installing and configuring Redwood agents are easy, and scheduling jobs on Redwood helps in triggering the batches as per business requirements."
"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."
"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."
"Redwood is more flexible and we can schedule the tasks based on different time zones."
"Its monitoring and alerting features are what I found the most valuable."
 

Cons

"The tool requires programming language."
"Although the solution's proxy design and process are good, it faces connecting issues because it lacks data integration."
"We would like an entire DevOps in place in this particular solution."
"The platform's data integration tools need improvement on the processing side."
"The solution's pricing model is very strange, and it will be really expensive if you use APIs a lot."
"The solution's licensing methodologies could be improved."
"The initial setup should be made easy and the documentation should have some guidance."
"When we are integrating with other applications, readily available connectors make it easy. However, when it comes to external applications, connectivity isn't as straightforward."
"The product could be better in terms of its monitoring and alert service."
"Customer support should be enhanced so that we can automatically raise tickets and incidents in customer service."
"Redwood RunMyJobs should add more good features."
"I have not noted any downsides."
"Having a graphical user interface for the dashboard would be great."
"We need the automatic creation of incidents for failed jobs."
"The user interface of Redwood can be improved a bit to make it more user-friendly and interesting."
"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."
 

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."
"Mule Anypoint Platform pricing is slightly higher compared to Dell Boomi."
"The product comes complete at one set price including support."
"The solution's pricing, as per the old approach, is expensive."
"The solution is the priciest in the market which is an issue for some clients."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing as four or five out of ten."
"Mule is not the cheapest integration platform out there, but it deserves the price we are paying."
"Licensing can be complex as is the case with most iPaaS/cloud offerings."
"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."
