Redwood RunMyJobs Reviews

Basically, this tool is primarily used due to the fact that it is very reliable for every new user. We can say that it is a user-friendly tool. 

Redwood Workload Automation is really a great product. Personally, I would recommend it to every enterprise as a workflow/process automation tool.

As a new user, it is easy to connect with any application, including SAP ABAP, Oracle, and Peoplesoft. Redwood provides many good searches as well (i.e. fuzzy, wildcard, etc.)

In Redwood, we can easily create jobs and easily transport them from one environment to another. There are multiple tabs available as per the client's requirements. You can easily schedule and monitor the jobs.

Earlier, my organization was using the Automic UC4 tool for scheduling purposes. However, there were many cons to using it - like more coding and script knowledge required. In contrast, in Redwood, we can easily create the job and it's very interactive for the user.

In Redwood Workload Automation, we can schedule many jobs at the same time using different time zones. In this way we can easily create the notification part, alerting and monitoring as per the user's needs.

This tool provides many quick functions in your system screen, including refresh, running queues, process servers, and filters.

The most valuable feature of this tool is the fact we can easily check a notification or alert on our mobile phones. We don't need to open our system at all.

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 provides us with strong server security and load balancing. Redwood Automation helps to cover logging and debugging.

Overall, these features definitely reduce the time-consuming processes, which improves the business processes as well. 

There are fewer cons in Redwood as compared to other tools available in the market. That said, it would be a great thing if they would provide a few new features, like a health dashboard and a few time frames, which could help with more scheduling of jobs in a convenient way.

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

Apart from this, I don't have any negative points related to this tool. It has already overcome the cons and is doing a fantastic job in the automation field. It's one of the best and most used tools in the market.

I have been using Redwood for more than one year, and it has been a great experience with them so far.

The product provides good stability when it comes to delivering jobs. We can easily match the client's requirements as an output. The system queue, server, alerting, and configuration all play vital roles, and they perform well.

It is really very scalable.

Everything is perfect with the support team. They delivered their service very well.

Before Redwood I used Automic UC4. However, there are a few cons to that solution. For example, for a new user, it is very difficult to interact with the UI. Also, creating or scheduling any jobs required script knowledge.

It is a little bit hard to start the initial step. However, after that, everything goes smoothly.

The product provides good ROI for the businesses, and our client was really very happy with the live system.

As compared to Control-M and UC4, the setup cost and pricing of Redwood are far less as they are delivering good functionality at this price point.

I did not evaluate other options. I choose the Redwood tool without any doubt since I used it personally. I suggested to everyone that it was a very reliable and easy-to-use tool.

Everything is perfect in this tool.

We use the solution for automating jobs and schedules. Prior to this, I was using AWS and a few other paid services for regular monitoring of servers and such. Since Redwood, everything has been smooth as it takes care of most of the automation part and 

It looks into history and logs of everything done from the past week. It helps us to focus on other goals rather than just work on something mutedly.

The product supports all browsers and all time zones. I don't have to worry about time zones while I work.

The solution has improved our organization via:

• Multi-platform scheduling makes it easier this way rather than accessing one platform at a time.
• Central monitoring. The dashboard provides all the required data.
• Logging, alerting, and notifications. We see the huge benefit since most of the manual work is reduced this way.
• Analyzing and visualization give a clear understanding of errors and critical logs, hence easy to resolve complex issues.
• Application integration has a broad range of enterprise applications that are timely and efficient in terms of work.
  

The most valuable aspects include: 

• Load balancing and proper memory management
• Scheduling of jobs without any manual monitoring 

More than anything, I can work on my time. Even teams within different countries can work on their own time so that we don't have to schedule everything in one particular time zone.

The automatic workload balancing between servers is a huge time saver as this simplifies most of the issues and monitoring stuff related to space, CPU usage, and logs. The analysis of the given data is also quite amazing.

The solution can make the following improvements:

• They should be made more cost-effective in comparison to similar software services.
• I would love a direct download option like service now or AWS services. It would be easier to access the data rather than just viewing and trying to do a workaround.
• The documentation is very high-level and should be more user-friendly, as the vocabulary used is a bit confusing at times. There should be more efficient or simple explanations can help.
• The application integration is quite complex. It would help if it was made simpler.

I have been using this for around a year now, and it has been good so far. So much manual work is reduced thanks to this tool. Automation is a game changer.

It likely will be one of the greatest automation tools in the near future.

People don't realize its capacity until they use it. Once you start using it you will buy it either way.

There is always room for improvement with support, however, as of now, the support is good.

Positive

I was using AWS and ServiceNow to monitor the servers. It was more of a manual job since, in Redwood, everything is simple.

The setup process was easy to understand. That said, it took some time to learn as it offers many services.

We had help from the vendor team, and it was great.

We have seen an ROI definitely from the features and the time it saves on jobs and tracking tasks.

Even though the setup cost is a bit expensive, the product is worth it, and the user framework is great.

I did not evaluate any other solution. This was a recommendation from a friend, and I love it.

They need to reduce the cost and add a download feature for bulk data. 

RunMyJobs is very flexible, and once you set a job chain up, it runs like clockwork. One of my favorite features is the custom calendars that allow you to run jobs only when you want them to. It doesn't have to be daily, weekly, or monthly only.

We implemented a new system, and the business users had to run tasks manually. We were able to create some standard processes that could be used over and over with just different parameters to automate over 100 manual tasks, which saved the users from having to work nights and weekends.

There is no dislike point or comment at this time since Redwood is already doing a great job in the automation tool sector. For a first-time installation, we need a good amount of knowledge to install Redwood in our organization. Apart from this, I don't have any dislike point as of now.

We can easily track the status of the job, and if any error is encountered we can easily solve that issue via the given familiar functions.

This tool helps us to schedule and monitor jobs related to SAP modules like FI, MM, SD, HR, etc. It also provides the cancellation, start, and restart of the process for the running jobs at the same time as per the business requirements. 

From the monitoring perspective, we can easily track the status of a job, and if any error is encountered, we can easily solve that issue by the given familiar functions.

It is easy to overcome complicated tasks. This tool helps us to monitor the job related to SAP modules. There won't be a memory outage issue; it will work with all browsers.

It's amazing how easy it is to use Redwood Business Process Automation and implement it in my work  

The areas it needs improvement are in the directional use. To start is a bit difficult. More instructions will help. 

We need the ability to pull data into an Excel format. That would also quite help to tally and get data effortlessly.

I am fascinated with the performance that this software allows me to have. It is fully functional and meets all the requirements to help me carry out my work effectively. I use it safely and without any inconvenience on an SAP platform. It is really comfortable, and I like it. 

It helps me to synthesize all the programming of a wide variety of jobs that enter our database daily and must be corrected in record time. 

This digital platform allows me to configure certain aspects for efficiency in different processes, 

I've used the solution for about six months.

The stability of the tool is quite amazing. It is quite user-friendly and helps in scheduling jobs effortlessly in the production environment.

I previously used Amazon Batch and I wanted to try a different user interface.

It was straightforward to set up. That said, instructions would be helpful to navigate at the beginning. We'd like have toolbar options show detail and their use case at the outset. 

We implemented it through the vendor team. Their level of expertise was 10/10.

We have witnessed an ROI of 10%.

The solution has perfect pricing. It is very good for exploring a new platform.

I did evaluate Amazon Cloud Watch. It has a good user interface.

The primary use case of Redwood Software in my working environment is that my project includes 24+ applications that are migrated to the cloud as well. We have very complex application flows and integrations. Redwood Workload Automation Edition has helped with application integration. It can integrate with a wide range of applications, including ERP systems, databases, and middleware, which allows organizations to automate end-to-end business processes. 

Also, Redwood has helped in file transfers. It can automate the movement of files between systems, ensuring that data is transferred securely and efficiently. Since our project is also dependent on the cloud, Redwood provides cloud automation which automates the workflows that span across on-premises and cloud environments.

Redwood Workload Automation Edition has helped in improving my organization in numerous ways. 

Our project has complicated workflows and huge tasks to be scheduled. Redwood's features of job scheduling and automation allowed us to schedule and automate batch jobs across multiple platforms and systems, which reduces the manual workload for the employees, saving a lot of time. 

Redwood provides full security while transferring files to different systems. Since ours is a middleware project, the work involves a lot of file movement between different vendors and organizations. By using Redwood, file transfer for the work has been easier and more efficient.

Since my project is a monitoring project, we need to keep an eye on all the applications all the time. The best feature I love about Redwood is the real-time event monitoring and alerting. Redwood can monitor critical business events in real time and can send alerts as well when the predefined thresholds are exceeded. This saves a lot of accountable time for employees and can accurately detect errors with the highest priority, which helps in recognizing and solving the issue within a short span of time. 

Redwood also supports cloud automation to automate workflows between on-premises and the cloud, which is a really cool feature.

The user interface of Redwood can be improved a bit to make it more user-friendly and interesting. Since everything is now updated, it would be better if Redwood's next version release included features involving machine learning and artificial intelligence. 

Since more organizations are migrating to the cloud, it would be beneficial if Redwoood incorporates more cloud-native features such as serverless computing, integration with cloud-native services, and containerization. It would be of added advantage if Redwood could display the workload with visualizations such as flowcharts, bar charts, and process maps which makes the user easy to understand.

I have been using Redwood Software for a period of more than one year.

Redwood is very easy for functional users to learn and use. The steps are useful and therefore end user training is easy to deliver.

It is a high-performance, secure, stable, and scalable platform.

Redwood is a great solution to complement and enhance our SAP instance. 

Redwood has good flexibility in automating our own processes using the plug-and-play components from their big library store. One of the most beneficial parts of RunMyJobs is we don't have to support and maintain the infrastructure for the scheduler; it's all in the cloud, so Redwood takes care of that maintenance and upkeep.

Redwood automation helps us to rely on the software to get our core business processes run on time with almost no expected errors. This is time effective, which helps us to meet the client's requirements

A whole lot of jobs can be controlled with just one click, which is time effective. We can control a complex workflow with simple events, which makes life easier

Redwood is of value to our organization due to of its ease of use and the ability to automate and orchestrate any platform that we utilize today. 

Redwood has pre-defined process definitions, a data transformer, a chain diagram of the process, and error handlers.

When something obstructs the job flow, instead of scheduling and running a new job, we can set up tasks in a logical flow that runs automatically during job failures. 

The best thing about the Redwood software's RunMyJobs is it has automated jobs running smoothly with no issues, and automated upgrades are completed in less than five minutes. This makes maintenance very easy.

Redwood software helps to integrate complex processes in a heterogeneous landscape that combines SaaS and on-premise solutions.

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. In the next release, I would suggest that the access can be limited but accessible by developers

Also, in terms of an outage, this becomes critical since it tasks some time to identify and restore our services with which we fail to reach our Service level agreements.

We highly recommend the product overall.

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.

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.                                                                                 

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.

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.

I've used the solution for three years.

We did not use a different solution. 

We did not evaluate any different solutions.

Our primary usage of Redwood Automation is to monitor batch processing in SAP. This helps us automate and streamline the process and also helps in reducing the overall run time for long-running processes. 

We also use this software to run in parallel, unlike the standard SAP scheduler. We use predefined features that actually help in managing processes in importing jobs from SAP ECC systems. Some of the automation features use low code that has a business impact in reducing workload. It is the most advanced automation tool.

It can manage complex job workflow processes. 

Infrastructure for the scheduler is taken care of by Redwood software itself so that it benefits us in running jobs. Maintenance and upkeep are negligible. 

It is very easy and easy to use, and minimal supervision is required to run it. 

We can easily orchestrate jobs across several systems, and there are N number of possible ways to do so. With this, complex jobs also can be reduced to easier tasks, and solution for the same is also approximate, which makes it a powerful tool.

The UI feels fresh and neat, which is a basic thing that keeps users using the tool, whereas the competitors lack this feature. 

It has drastically reduced the consumption of time and effort spent by a user on updates and maintenance since features like automation help in doing those tasks instead of us. 

It helps us to integrate complex processes that combine SaaS and on-premises solutions with a wide range of SAP and Non-SAP applications. We get the latest available data in the data warehouse. 

Since it is a powerful tool, there are fewer complaints that we can encounter for performance or automation issues. 

It also is better at scheduling non-dependent tasks for optimal usage of resources. 

The documentation for this product is limited, which can be improved in the future. 

It lacks some common features like assignment groups in ServiceNow which has to be manually done. This feature can be implemented so as to reduce the time consumption of users in assigning it.  

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.

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.

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.

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.

I've used the solution for one year.

Redwood Software’s RunMyJobs workload automation solution IT teams can create and run essential scheduled and event-driven processes, manage file and data transfers, and orchestrate automation across applications and other tools like RPA.

Enterprises in every industry, from manufacturing, utility, retail, and biotech to hospitality, banking, and aerospace, rely on Redwood. 

Our low-code automation platform is at the core of critical business operations such as forecasting, replenishment, reconciliation, financial close, order-to-cash, billing, reporting, and more.

Redwood manages the workload of ERP platforms like SAP, Oracle, etc. It also has an additional feature of load balancing through nodes and can restrict the number of jobs running in parallel by entering the execution size limit in the ECC queue.

Redwood manages all complex job workflow processes.

Whenever we are experiencing issues with the Redwood system, we can send log files to the Redwood support team by selecting get support files at the top right corner of the redwood window. Redwood software is supported in almost all web browsers, unlike other software that doesn't support it.

Before, we were using the SAP CPS chronicle tool to schedule batch jobs which doesn't have a user-friendly interface and were not flexible enough to use. Later, when we shifted to Redwood Software everything was hassle-free and we could import hundreds of jobs just using a script. That made our life much easier.

Having multiple options to restrict the use and authority to use Redwood Software to users (user only, scheduler admin, etc) was great. It solved many problems. We can now take reports on how many jobs are running daily, mail alerts for job failures, platform agents connected, and dashboards.

In Redwood, all job-related information can be accessed and downloaded, including job spool lists, job statistics, application logs, etc., which is actually an added advantage for the user to check and analyze the job-related issue.

However, when I check operator messages, there are a lot of messages stuck in the queue. For example, "couldn't send alert" mail to a few recipients. 

The job log has a size limit. 

These are very minor things to look into. If these issues are fixed Redwood, will be in a great position.

We use Redwood RunMyJobs for job scheduling and all job-related things.

We were previously using SAP SM37, and we were not able to schedule the jobs. Redwood RunMyJobs has been very useful for job scheduling and checking and monitoring jobs.

Redwood RunMyJobs should add more good features.

I have been using Redwood RunMyJobs for two years.

I rate Redwood RunMyJobs an eight or nine out of ten for stability.

Many users are using Redwood RunMyJobs for job scheduling in our organization.

I rate Redwood RunMyJobs an eight out of ten for scalability.

The solution’s initial setup is easy.

Redwood RunMyJobs is deployed on-cloud in our organization.

Overall, I rate Redwood RunMyJobs an eight out of ten.
