Latha Viswanathan

Principal Data Base And Infrastructure Engineer at a outsourcing company with 501-1,000 employees

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.

Senior Validation Engineer at Weir Group PLC

Integration workflows have become transparent and secure while error tracking is streamlined

The best features in MuleSoft Anypoint Platform for me are transparency between logging in or deploying and using different environments. Managing different environments for the transparency of error logins or how to trace traceability is very important. It's very easy to use and sort, so you can see where everything has gone right and everything has gone wrong. I'm aware of the drag-and-drop interface in MuleSoft Anypoint Platform, and it's very, very quick. It's very time-saving and very efficient. The security features on MuleSoft Anypoint Platform help maintain data integrity in my organization; I would say it's second to none. It's one of the best out there that I have worked with because of the encryption and decryption, and there are a lot of security aspects. I would assess the platform's data mapping and transformation capabilities as amazing. Automation has been straightforward; the transformation and mapping have been easy to use, easy to source, and from the source to the target. I would say it has been very good.

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 didn't know about JAMS because I don't have a person with any challenges with the purchase administration. The feature or the user interface is user-friendly because of the readable icons or very descriptive icons. Though I'm a beginning user of JAMS, I had no issues using it."

"JAMS has been a beneficial monitoring tool for our project in terms of being able to deliver data that is essential for users."

"The fact that we no longer need to use Excel spreadsheets is huge."

"The dashboard is intuitive."

"We looked at other companies, like VisualCron, that were cheaper, but one of the main sticking points was the fact that they wouldn't have provided a central location for us to monitor across all servers. That was one of the biggest selling points of JAMS."

"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 has helped save IT staff time by automating tasks previously performed with scripts, and its scheduling feature has been particularly useful."

"The most valuable feature is the easily accessible data in the database because we run a lot of SQL scripting against the database."

More JAMS pros

"The tool’s API management capabilities are excellent."

"There is no question at all that there is a return on investment."

"It's easy to use and comes as a bundle package with the Anypoint Platform, removing the need for any complex setup."

"Overall, it is a pretty good product and it is also very scalable."

"When we talk about the APIs, there are multiple policies one can apply on APIs, like rate limiting policies, OWASP policies, and OWASP security policies, that can be easily configured in Mule Anypoint Platform."

"Mule Anypoint Platform's valuable features are its flexibility in terms of deployment and its SaaS capabilities."

"The most valuable feature is the variety of characters Anypoint Platform has. It is very scalable and customizable."

"As a developer, and my superiors and architects agree, that this is the easiest tool to use."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pros

"It can centralize and support on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments seamlessly."

"We can create and test micro-workflows to find defects sooner."

"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 conjures simplicity from the depths of complexity, effortlessly shouldering burdensome workloads."

"There won't be a memory outage issue, as it uses its own server/ECC memory only."

"Moving to a SaaS solution has a lot of advantages."

"The best feature I love about Redwood is the real-time event monitoring and alerting."

"Redwood is more flexible and we can schedule the tasks based on different time zones."

More Redwood RunMyJobs pros

Cons

"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."

"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."

"Improvements could be made in the service desk's knowledge and communication skills among engineers to better address customer needs and ensure issues are fully resolved."

"The only thing that they could improve on is the fact that they don't have a browser version of JAMS. It does come with a web client, but it's pretty clunky."

"The JAMS automation code isn't so clean."

"The product does not allow the users to cut and paste the job names from the screen."

"There could be a better simulation for banning the termination. You have to simulate every one of the processes in order to have an idea for better planning. This kind of simulation is broken and needs improvement."

"The monitoring of the JAMS product and its performance is an area of concern for me."

More JAMS cons

"Code quality, Code Security, SaaS, and DaaS security, can all be improved."

"Unfortunately the documentation is not great."

"I think the downsides or areas for improvement in this solution involve exploring more on the AI side of how seamlessly AI can be integrated for these integration works."

"Mule Anypoint Platform could improve by having more up-to-date adapters to do work in a digital space."

"The compatibility with vendors can be improved. Microsoft Azure heavily uses single software."

"There are so many solutions like this, but this is not as mature as those products. The other MQ products have the capability of reprocessing and maintaining the persistence of the data. They can handle large volumes and large messages, but Anypoint MQ doesn't have those capabilities."

"The inclusion of GenAI in the tool can be good since it is an area that is currently unavailable in the solution."

"Information on monitoring could be improved."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform cons

"The user interface of Redwood can be improved a bit to make it more user-friendly and interesting."

"We need the ability to pull data into an Excel format."

"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."

"The solution should have more focus on security standards."

"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."

"They should be made more cost-effective in comparison to similar software services."

"We'd like to see an integration with ServiceNow to raise the tickets/incidents in ServiceNow."

"Due to the abundance of competing automation technologies available on the market, connectivity with any cloud platform can be improved."

More Redwood RunMyJobs cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"All licensing models are a little overpriced, but JAMS offers a good value, especially given their support response times and ability to handle unforeseen issues like the SFTP transfers. I hope to find more use cases to get a better bang for our buck."

"For what it does, the product is priced very well."

"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."

"The product is reasonably priced, and we don't have any add-ons."

"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."

"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."

"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."

More JAMS pricing and cost advice

"I can't give you a straightforward answer because sometimes it depends on the usage. If you're going to have fewer than 5 million messages, it is free of cost. If you're going to have more than 5 million messages, they're going to charge $100 per month"

"Mule is not the cheapest integration platform out there, but it deserves the price we are paying."

"The solution's pricing, as per the old approach, is expensive."

"MuleSoft Anypoint Platform really needs to work on its pricing model because it's very complicated."

"The licensing is core-based. My customers tell me that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites."

"Regarding pricing, I believe there could be room for improvement to align with user expectations."

"Making changes in Anypoint MQ is expensive."

"The pricing of our solution is highly competitive. While it may not be categorized as exceptionally low, it is certainly more affordable compared to IBM."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pricing and cost advice

"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."
