reviewer2770605

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.

Manager Mobility & Digitalization at Fatima group

Have experienced challenges integrating with other systems but have benefited from improved process automation

There are multiple areas that need improvement. Nintex Process Platform needs integration with other platforms such as Salesforce and other CRM platforms. There should be actions available so we can directly integrate with these systems. Additionally, there is a gap in mathematical actions and logical actions. We need to parse data, and if we receive data in JSON, there is no action available in Nintex Process Platform to parse the data and extract data from that JSON string. Such actions and logical actions must be available in Nintex Process Platform to increase its capability. For us, Nintex Process Platform is configurable with SQL Server, but there is no configuration option available with Oracle. We also use Oracle in multiple processes, but we have found no way to directly configure Nintex Process Platform with Oracle. We have to use SQL Server in between. We have to create a link server within SQL Server as a bypass to retrieve or post data into Oracle. There were multiple improvement points available.

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

"It's worth its weight in gold and we cannot get rid of it now."

"The most valuable aspect of JAMS is its robustness."

"The built-in triggers are great."

"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."

"JAMS is easier to use and cheaper than our previous solution. The installation is more straightforward, and JAMS has a graphical user interface, so it's more accessible."

"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."

"The most valuable feature of JAMS is its user-friendly interface, especially after upgrading from version six to seven."

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

More JAMS pros

"K2 makes your work simple."

"The technical support provided by Nintex is very helpful."

"The biggest selling point for us was that the solution had out of box connectivity with UiPath and we didn't have to write any custom code to be able to invoke UiPath bots and automation solutions."

"K2 is reasonably priced."

"The support is great; I found the support to be excellent with immediate responses whenever I open a ticket."

"It is very easy to use events. K2 has useful tools."

"K2's best feature is that it can solve complex tasks, issues, and projects with little coding."

"It can scale well."

More Nintex Process Platform pros

"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."

"Its monitoring and alerting features are what I found the most valuable."

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

"REL expressions are quite helpful for setting up the preconditions."

"With automation in place, employees can focus on more strategic tasks that require human expertise, increasing overall productivity."

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

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

"It has advanced features like dashboards where users can see all statistics."

More Redwood RunMyJobs pros

Cons

"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."

"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."

"For scalability, I would rate it as seven because when we have a huge volume, sometimes the tool is not so responsive."

"It is important to receive notifications if a charged job fails and SQL is halted. JAMS does not provide halted notifications by default, which is a critical feature that needs to be added."

"The biggest area with room for improvement is the area that my organization benefits the most from using JAMS, and that is in custom execution methods. I happen to have a very good C# developer. Ever since we got JAMS, he has spent a lot of time talking to JAMS developers, researching the JAMS libraries, and creating custom execution methods. He's gotten very good at it. He is now able to create them and maintain them very easily, but that knowledge was hard-won knowledge. It was difficult to come by, and if I should ever lose this developer, then I would be hard-pressed to find anyone who could create JAMS custom execution methods quite as well as he can since there really isn't all that much help, such as documentation or information, available on how to create custom execution methods."

"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."

"The tabs in the JAMS file transfer could be clearer. It would help us demonstrate to our client that JAMS not only automates jobs but also does fast transfers, and it's an alternative that supports and filters different kinds of platforms. Filtering file transfers will be highly beneficial to them."

"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."

More JAMS cons

"The user interface in Nintex needs improvement. It is not very intuitive and requires changes."

"K2 is a workflow solution, and there is no RPA solution with K2. This is where K2 lacks a little bit."

"The licensing needs to be improved. Right now, we find it's getting more expensive to use the product."

"K2's support for DevOp team corporations is weak."

"Nintex is still at the starting point of integrating with AI. It has integrated with a very small piece of artificial intelligence., like only integrated with the Google Cloud. There is a benefit, like a no-code and low-code solution. But, again, if you are a developer, especially if you are a hardcore developer, you are using your code knowledge, its skills, and all. And, suddenly, you are moving into the low-code solution, and then you will feel, like, so many things you can't achieve with the low-code solution."

"We cannot use the same solution on cloud, and we have to purchase it all over again to get it on cloud."

"The price is too high currently for the license structure."

"Currently, copying workflow actions from one workflow to another is not possible. Also, the Office 365 solution is not as mature as on-premise."

More Nintex Process Platform cons

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

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

"Redwood RunMyJobs should add more good features."

"Adding machine learning and AI capabilities would enable Redwood to automate more complex business processes and tasks."

"Enhancing the user interface would make it more appealing and accessible to a wide range of users."

"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."

"The reports are downloaded in .CAR file format, which makes it difficult to convert to an Excel file."

"It has limited reporting features; some basic reporting features are missing."

More Redwood RunMyJobs cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is a good product at a fair price."

"The licensing model for JAMS is straightforward and based on the number of agents, not the number of jobs you run. It's cheap and fairly simple."

"There are no additional costs other than the license for Fortra's JAMS which is affordable."

"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."

"The pricing of JAMS has not been an issue for us, as it has allowed us to save time."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"Fortra's JAMS pricing structure has deteriorated significantly since its acquisition by Fortra."

"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."

More JAMS pricing and cost advice

"There is an initial fee when purchasing and a fee for maintenance afterward."

"We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."

"Nintex products are expensive, but valuable. Licensing in on-premise was historically based on a perpetual model, where you’d license per Web front-end. However, they are switching exclusively to a consumption (subscription) model, where you purchase the number of workflows you think you’ll use in your environment, and can scale up from there."

"This solution is affordable and is cheaper than most alternatives on the market. We have a standard cloud license that costs about 20k per year."

"The price of this solution is affordable but the problem in Algeria is our community is a bit slower. The new clients might feel the solution is a bit expensive."

"Certainly. Notably, in terms of cost, this solution presents a substantial advantage, being approximately forty percent more economical compared to Oracle. It offers flexibility with two deployment options, catering to both cloud and on-premises preferences. Moreover, within each deployment option, there are two variations available. For organizations with limited IT resources and relying on citizen developers—individuals from the business side comfortable with technology—the platform allows for a more hands-on approach. These users can independently implement solutions without extensive coding or custom development. In contrast, the KQ solution at Symantec is adept at addressing the needs of sectors like banking, where extensive custom development is required for seamless integration with existing applications, websites, and ensuring robust security measures."

"Our maintenance costs are reduced."

"It's more suited for enterprise level, not for small or medium-sized businesses (SMBs)."

More Nintex Process 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."
