A job scheduling tool you can use to automate business processes across your SAP landscape
It provides cloud advantages.  RunMyJobs is very useful in our case. I'm from an ERP background. We had a hard time running jobs to keep our business alive. This was due to the complex structure and nature of the jobs which tend to move to different systems at each point in time. This was…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is very easy to create and deploy. I am very happy with how user-friendly Nintex Workflow is."
"The technical support is very good."
"I think that it adds value to any organization, mainly in terms of business applications where you need workflows."
"The SharePoint feature is a really good connection, there are many features that are good."
"It's easy to learn. However, there is very little content available for the Nintex also, but they are providing their own documentation and all. So, it's easy to learn also."
"The solution has helped us to automate our business processes, our approval systems, and automation for quickly developing on SharePoint on-prem and SharePoint online."
"The latest version of Nintex has many features. We have a clear roadmap and the necessary application to integrate it into our platform."
"We were able to meet all of the requirements for functionality that were specified, and we did not experience challenges where we had to compromise on functionality."
"It is very easy and easy to use, and minimal supervision is required to run it."
"This product is simple and easy to use."
"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."
"Redwood manages all complex job workflow processes."
"Its monitoring and alerting features are what I found the most valuable."
"The automated alert response is very useful for long-running and failed jobs during off-business hours."
"Our team was able to integrate it with the ITSM tool as well as security monitoring tools to make the incident creation process automatically feasible."
"Redwood RunMyJobs has been very useful for job scheduling and checking and monitoring jobs."
 

Cons

"The product’s support for the mobile platform and its ability to handle artificial loads could be better."
"We would like to design parallel workflows and long-running workflows, along with new features for connecting to cloud-based systems."
"We are currently facing a lot of issues with Nintex, and we are trying to move away from this solution."
"We cannot use the same solution on cloud."
"We'd like to have integration with SharePoint."
"The management server and the admin page where you can manage processes need improvement."
"The security features for this solution need to be improved."
"Nintex seems to be very server intensive. It is one of the reasons that we are moving to a different product on the SharePoint 2016 platform."
"It would be nice if Redwood RunMyJobs could work on different systems."
"There is a lack of resources and product documentation which, if included, would help to gain more knowledge about the application."
"Enhancing the user interface would make it more appealing to new users with limited technical knowledge."
"The documentation for this product is limited, which can be improved in the future."
"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."
"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."
"We need the automatic creation of incidents for failed jobs."
"The solution should have more focus on security standards."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Nintex is around INR 200 per license in India, which is much cheaper. Smaller organizations are always looking for cost-effective solutions, and Nintex provides local solutions with very low pricing."
"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."
"Offering a licensing model that allows for multiple small workflows would be a huge improvement to an already great platform."
"For the initial hundred users, the cost is $21,000 per year, which I find too high."
"We pay on a yearly basis. It's my understanding that we pay approximately $11,000/year."
"Comparatively, it's expensive."
"The enterprise version has some additional features that I would like to use, but the price is not fair."
"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."
"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."
