Simple to use, increases CPU speed, and reduces the cost of machine time
Pros and Cons
  • "This program works with every browser."
  • "Due to the abundance of competing automation technologies available on the market, connectivity with any cloud platform can be improved."

What is our primary use case?

1. Since an alerting mechanism was provided; it helps to prevent future business impact.

2. Redwood can seamlessly link to a number of outside/Legacy systems. There won't be any delays after the job is booked, therefore disruption of the work.

3. All third-party systems can have a batch job scheduled for them.

4. There won't be a problem with memory loss.

5. The support/help center ensures we can find solutions to all of our questions, which is a very good feature.

6. The tool's submission frame and time window, where we may schedule jobs as needed, are its best feature.

7. This program works with every browser.

8. As this practically covers every time zone, we may plan tasks according to local/national time.

How has it helped my organization?

Without a doubt, this should be your first choice if you wish to automate things. This should be your first option if you want a well-known brand that has your back at your fingertips. 

It is simple to use. If you can communicate in English, scheduling jobs will be simple and accurate. It offers good stability and versatility. 

It is integrated with our infrastructure across all of our IT platforms, which is a major bonus. Its graphical user interface helps with batch and online process planning.

It makes it easier for processes to take precedence over batch processes to adjust their priority.

The solution increases CPU speed and reduces the cost of machine time for the business.                                                                                 

What is most valuable?

The automation of manual activities in cloud applications like Salesforce was greatly aided by Redwood Workload. Daily manual labor savings of four hours have a considerable positive influence on costs.

Although SAP ECC only retains job statistics for the previous two weeks, Redwood Scheduler can keep job statistics for as many days as we like. Also, there is a cleaning task with a script created inside it that cleans outdated tasks every month and maintains Redwood, keeping it tidy.

Tools for promotion make it easier to import and export jobs from various third-party systems.

What needs improvement?

They need to reduce the rate of emissions a little. I recognize that IWA's capability is expanding at a phenomenal rate. However, it might be challenging to keep up with the updates.

It could be improved in areas where the rivalry is slightly stronger, such as linking job dependencies since it lacks several areas of functionality.

Due to the abundance of competing automation technologies available on the market, connectivity with any cloud platform can be improved. As a result of the supporting documentation's absence, not all features are supported.

Helps build, deploy, and schedule triggers in jobs
Pros and Cons
  • "There are various ways in which you can construct jobs depending on your business needs and requirements."
  • "The product could be better in terms of its monitoring and alert service."

What is our primary use case?

I build, schedule, and automate jobs. I'm part of the team that did the development and version updates for the tool. Our team generally uses the Scheduler.

Report generation and automated delivery is the primary use case in our project to meet business and management requirements.

Almost all manual tasks and triggers have been replaced with an automated setup.

In terms of implementation, the core of it is SaaS, and we still have some internal servers. It's never 100% SaaS - hence considered a hybrid.

How has it helped my organization?

Redwood Software helped me build, deploy, schedule, and set up automated triggers in the jobs. This was a tedious manual activity that had to be automated. That's where Redwood became a life savior.

The monthly and weekly reports were automated as per functional and business requirements. This data was too hard to fetch from the databases. Once Redwood integration was done, this became an easy task.

Redwood Software (Workload Automation Edition) did not help in monitoring and metric generations as continuous monitoring was still required sometimes and we faced some glitches in alerting.

What is most valuable?

It's an amazing tool. It is flexible and meets almost all functional and business requirements for how you can define jobs and build them. 

There are various ways in which you can construct jobs depending on your business needs and requirements. 

It has a lot of features for different ways that you can build jobs, which is great for power users but a bit confusing for newcomers because there are a lot of different options.

The monitoring alerts should be set up very precisely for accurate functionality.

What needs improvement?

The product could be better in terms of its monitoring and alert service. The previous versions have an issue with alert configurations and cannot be properly integrated with the mailing system.

Control systems can be enhanced. We'd like a role-based module so that the users, administrators, and super users can have elevated/differentiated access based on their roles.

The metrics explorer is yet to be enhanced so that the statistics can be made available easier for better user interaction and analysis. This could enhance visibility and Interaction.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for one year.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Hybrid Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Efficient with good monitoring and alerting
Pros and Cons
  • "Redwood is more flexible and we can schedule the tasks based on different time zones."
  • "There is a lack of resources and product documentation which, if included, would help to gain more knowledge about the application."

What is our primary use case?

We're impressed with the way Redwood transformed workflow automation in our organization. It has become an integral part of our daily and weekly operations, streamlining processes, and increasing efficiency. Redwood has a great Interface that is easy to use. Even with limited technical knowledge, one can make configurations in it. Scheduling the batch jobs, automating the data transfers and complex workflows are fully automated, and no manual intervention is required. It seamlessly integrates with other systems to bring the solution.

How has it helped my organization?

Using Redwood has enhanced efficiency like never before, It has pre-built templates and libraries, which makes it easy to design and customize the workflows the way we require. It brings comprehensive solutions to our automation in an organization. 

Monitoring and alerting is the best feature. We can be notified of the status of the task. Error handling is an advanced feature that increases the accuracy of the work. Redwood is more flexible and we can schedule the tasks based on different time zones.

What is most valuable?

Compared to the features of other automation tools, Redwood has many advanced functionalities in it. The initial setup and configuration of Redwood are straightforward. It takes little time to become familiar with all the features, including drag-and-drop functionality. Some templates make it relatively easy to use. Its scheduling capabilities help ensure tasks are accurately executed on time. We can identify the issues and address them quickly. Reports are generated by the filters and scheduled timings to track the status of the tasks.

What needs improvement?

I would appreciate it if they improved the service in terms of support and assistance for the software. There is a lack of resources and product documentation which, if included, would help to gain more knowledge about the application. 

Small businesses may step back from the solution as the cost and pricing are more expensive. 

The downtime of the software should be reduced; it takes quite a long time to download the bulk data. 

The Excel document export option is unavailable for job transport.

Good automation with built-in SLA monitoring and compatible with multiple CI/CD tools
Pros and Cons
  • "We can create and test micro-workflows to find defects sooner."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

Redwood is primarily used for DevOps automation in our business for agile, functional application delivery. 

It helps in creating logical workflows from the data center to the cloud with automation. Redwood easily manages and coordinates complex processes and automates their interdependencies without manual intervention which is an impressive feature. 

Every step is fully logged and auditable at a process level, without manual intervention. It can visually combine workflow steps into the process chains.

How has it helped my organization?

Redwood has helped in automating the scheduled tasks and jobs.

What needs improvement?

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 initial setup of the software is quite challenging. There are some difficulties faced during dependencies set up under jobs. 

The customer support and documentation part can be improved for much better response and understanding. A course could be provided on the tool in the market about the importance and usage.

Good automation capabilities with simple integrations and a simple setup
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

RunMyJobs has been used in our security project. 

We have a security monitoring tool that would trigger alerts for the pre-defined conditions, and RunMyJobs would send a request to the integrated ITSM. That way, automatically incidents are created with the data populated from the triggered alert. The associate can then investigate the triggered alert and report incidents.  

This has reduced the manual work for associates and has provided more time and concentrate on the critical business task.

How has it helped my organization?

This solution has cut down on the manual work the associates need to perform to create incidents for the triggered alerts and as well as eliminate the scope of error and also provides associates more time to concentrate on investigation and also other critical business tasks.

The associates are also able to get the status of the process through the dashboard which has most of the critical data needed to know on the process. This is faster and more efficient as it is integrated for incidents. It allows the team to meet the SLA defined by the customer.

What is most valuable?

RunMyJobs can be easily integrated with other software to perform automation. 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. 

Rather than going through a number of documentation and support calls, an individual can easily implement the tool and also provide knowledge transfer to the team members. 

What needs improvement?

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.

There can be more pre-built integration setups that can be used based on the changing business requirements. Due to the lack of this, we are forced to integrate adapters. Not all third-party tools are easily integrated into the Redwood RunMyJobs for automation purposes. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for less than a year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This is a good automation tool to implement if a company wants something to perform repetitive tasks that need to be done on a daily, monthly, or quarterly basis. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's a very scalable product and can take on large workloads.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We did not use any tool previous to this.

What was our ROI?

We are able to cut down the time it takes to manually handle tasks.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I'd advise others to have a detailed call with support to understand the integration.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We looked into Tidal Workload Automation.

Redwood Workload Automation is a software application that assists businesses in automating and streamlining their business operations. 

It allows businesses to plan and handle tasks, workflows, and applications across multiple systems, platforms, and environments. 

Redwood Workload Automation can increase efficiency, reduce errors, and free up resources for more strategic projects by automating repetitive tasks and workflows.

The scope of the Redwood Workload Automation use case may vary based on the organization's specific needs. Some businesses will use it to automate a single process or application, whereas others will use it to automate multiple processes across multiple systems and platforms.

Redwood Software also provided automation solutions for SAP and Oracle applications, which was beneficial to me because our work setting relied on these technologies.

What is most valuable?

One of Redwood Software's features that I liked was its event-driven automation, which allows IT teams to respond to real-time events, alerts, and notifications from numerous systems. The program also includes built-in analytics and reporting capabilities, allowing users to gain insights into task performance, workload optimization, and resource utilization.

We can simply integrate the existing IT infrastructure, including databases, applications, and platforms, using Redwood Software without any extra development or coding.

What needs improvement?

Redwood automation software could be made more user-friendly and intuitive, making chores and automation processes easier for users to complete. This could be accomplished with improvements to the user interface, instructions, and user training.

Allowing users to customize workflows and automate a wider variety of tasks could make the software more flexible. This could be accomplished by providing more pre-built automation components as well as making custom components easier to build.

Apart from this, Redwood is doing really great, and it's highly recommended
