An easy-to-setup solution with good stability
We use Jitterbit to connect cloud solutions with our on-premises ERP system We connect cloud solutions to our on-premise ERP system easily using Jitterbit. It is its most valuable feature.  The solution's API management capabilities need improvement. We have been using the solution for almost…

Helps automate all kinds of jobs and it's worth the price because it saves a lot of time and money
One problem that I had with them when we got SMA Technologies is that sometimes the jobs fail, but they automatically restart. SMA Technologies automatically gets a notification that the job has failed, and they restart it on their end, so now, we have the job restarting twice. There were times when we came into the office in the morning, and we had two files because the job ran twice. I do not know if the system can prevent a job from running the second time. If a job has run successfully, or it is running, it should not run again.

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 build integrations and processes to pull and push data."
"It runs like an appliance and has tremendous throughput."
"Jitterbit provides the ability to quickly map data between files and databases."
"The fluid user interface (probably the most user friendly interface, when compared to its competitors)."
"Integrity, ease of use, user-friendly user interface, and errorless logs are the most valuable features."
"The Cloud Console for monitoring and troubleshooting data operations."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Easy integration with Salesforce"
"One of the advantages of OpCon is the ability to use the API and web services. We couldn't do that with our previous solution. We have been able to change our procedure for ticketing. When a job is down, we can immediately create a ticket from OpCon in our ticketing solution, which is ServiceNow, using the web services."
"The ability to chain jobs together allows us to create complex interdependencies between our jobs, and the integration into our core system is important because it allows us, through an automated system, to do a huge number of things that used to be done manually."
"Thus far we have only had a few minor problems, all of which the vendor addressed quickly. We have not encountered any major problems. The product is very stable and reliable."
"The greatness of it is the flexibility of the scheduling and the integration of all platforms and processes. We have integrated it with everything from AIX to Microsoft Servers; with pretty much anything that we can."
"Among the numerous valuable features, one standout capability is the implementation of self-service buttons."
"I find OpCon's ability to monitor files and folders, and its integration with other software to be the most valuable."
"With a simple click of a button in self-service, the department or the user can complete his/her job."
"My favorite feature is the dashboard feature, which shows jobs that are running, and completed, any failures, and provides dashboard reporting."
 

Cons

"There were some bugs in the product. For example if you run a delete query and test, it deletes the actual data."
"Looping through complex data structures can be difficult."
"Sometimes we experience disconnections and I have to close all Jitterbit programs."
"I would like the ability to offer a dedicated cloud version for security."
"You need to have some development skills or hire a Jitterbit engineer to make changes."
"The initial setup can be a little bit difficult."
"Its API management capabilities need improvement."
"Sometimes additional connectors are needed."
"The products are extremely powerful and capable. Anytime you have such capability, the programming/configuration that goes into making it work can be complicated."
"The SQL database connections are the only time that we've had issues with reliability and stability of the software."
"Of course they have a RESTful API within OpCon, but they have that new web services agent that we installed because we have some SOAP APIs and we had to interact with SMA to get things running. Our developers did do some tweaks, but we have now been able to get some test jobs running, and understand how the workflow goes back and forth."
"I would like OpCon to implement a reporting feature on the dashboard that displays historical data for specific jobs. Ideally, this feature would allow us to view the past seven days or the next seven days, but with a specific focus on highlighting instances where a particular job has historically failed, particularly on Saturdays over the past year."
"The biggest area where there is room for improvement would be integration with their code. They've got a function for embedded scripts and it would be nice if that worked with a code or versioning management system, like GitLab."
"I don't really think anything needs to be improved within the functionality. The only struggle I had, when I first started using it, is that it depends a lot on the command line and I didn't have that experience. So more built-in, basic commands or more education on commands would be good."
"There is some difficulty with the ease of use when I don't have some of the templates that were already created. More templates would be great. Non-core featured templates are my biggest struggle."
"Upgrading to newer versions remains complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The added bonus is that Jitterbit doesn't charge for any data volume/traffic."
"Each business needs to determine if it is a mission critical aspect."
"I do believe Jitterbit has one of the better pricing and licensing options out there compared to its competitors."
"The solution's cost is mid-ranged compared to other vendors."
"Jitterbit was extremely cost effective for us compared to other options."
"The Jitterbit price is based upon endpoints. They also offer ERP connectors with their Enterprise edition"
"The total cost of ownership is about the same to our previous product. The costs are relatively similar."
"Yearly, it's around $30,000."
"Operating OpCon comes with a cost."
"While the base pricing is reasonable, the à la carte options are making the overall cost more complicated and potentially problematic."
"If we choose to purchase consulting hours, that is an additional cost. However, we've been lucky enough that we've not used all of our allotted consulting hours. Therefore, that is not something that we have had to purchase a lot of. The last time that we purchased consulting hours was roughly two years ago. We purchased a block of 10 for $2,500. It was $250 per hour."
"This solution is slightly more expensive than our previous solution. Right now, we are paying about $40,000 a year. However, we think it's well worth the cost to keep things automated, reducing our staff."
"Cost depends on your environment. We are doing stuff now with failover and recovery, so we have boosted our costs."
"Compared to AutoSys and ISE, OpCon was a lot cheaper to put in. AutoSys is hundreds of thousands of dollars to just install it because they don't have an interface into our system. You have to teach them what your system does."
