Easy scheduling, good learning modules, and less coding needed
Pros and Cons
  • "Installing and configuring Redwood agents are easy, and scheduling jobs on Redwood helps in triggering the batches as per business requirements."
  • "The reports are downloaded in .CAR file format, which makes it difficult to convert to an Excel file."

What is our primary use case?

Redwood Software is one of the best low-code automation platforms for scheduling complex jobs and monitoring processes. It is used in various domains like banking, manufacturing, hospitality, and so on. It executes critical business tasks such as billing and reporting with high speed and precision which makes it one of the best cloud solutions for organizations.

We can schedule multiple jobs with ease and trigger them as per the requirements. Filters are available for searching and extracting jobs and tracking the error, long-running jobs. The tool is supported by all browsers.

How has it helped my organization?

The scheduling of jobs is very complicated, and Redwood makes my task easier as job scheduling is easy in Redwood, and learning modules are simple and clear.

Redwood Software provides some more features like load balancing on nodes, and it is also possible to limit the number of jobs that can run in parallel with the help of an execution size limit in ECC queue.

It is possible to retrieve support files for each of the error, completed, and scheduled jobs which make it easier to find the root cause of a failed job. Redwood software has less coding/scripting with faster performance and delivery of business.

What is most valuable?

Redwood has multiple job scheduling options; that is, jobs can be scheduled with event wait, they can be chained, and steps can also be added, which makes the user's life much easier.

Installing and configuring Redwood agents are easy, and scheduling jobs on Redwood helps in triggering the batches as per business requirements.

The overall system health and schedule health can be checked in the monitoring dashboard, which shows the total count of errors, completed, and long-event wait jobs so that we don't have to extract reports every now and then for specific issues.

What needs improvement?

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

The integration with ticketing tools such as ServiceNow takes a lot of time which can be improved.

It would be helpful if we could copy the values from screens especially when we create filters. The job log has a size limit.

They could add additional default time windows and submit frames which would help in scheduling the batch job as per the requirements. 

Redwood will be even better to use if these small changes are looked into, although it's still one of the best tools that we can use for automation.

Good pre-defined process definitions and data transformer with good integration capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

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.

How has it helped my organization?

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. 

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

Reduces time and effort consumption and has a nice UI
Pros and Cons
  • "It is very easy and easy to use, and minimal supervision is required to run it."
  • "The documentation for this product is limited, which can be improved in the future."

What is our primary use case?

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.

How has it helped my organization?

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.

What is most valuable?

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. 

What needs improvement?

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.

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

Good for managing workloads and jobflow processes with low-code automation
Pros and Cons
  • "Redwood manages all complex job workflow processes."
  • "The job log has a size limit."

What is our primary use case?

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.

How has it helped my organization?

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.

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.
