Redwood RunMyJobs Reviews

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.

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.

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. 

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. 

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

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. 

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

We did not use any tool previous to this.

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

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

We looked into Tidal Workload Automation.

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. 

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.

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 difficult to achieve with traditional SAP software.

We can achieve anything that we would like to do using this solution. In SAP, it's not generally possible with just with SAP. So we have solution manager as an option, but run by job. 

Price-wise, it is not affordable. When we compare with other industry-leading software and even the same scale, there are certain software that can compete with Redwood, but Redwood is very highly paced. 

It is more SAP-friendly, at this point. Since it was owned by SAP for a very long time, they have made it SAP-friendly. But if you look at the tool as an enterprise tool, it is not really that great. You can have better options when you couple it with SAP.

I have been using Redwood RunMyJobs for seven years. 

The solution is highly stable.

It is not a very scalable solution. I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. 

The technical support does not provide support over the weekend. 

Neutral

The initial setup is straightforward. 

The return on investment is good. 

Even though it is highly-priced, it is a go to SAP product. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. 

Redwood provides an advanced form of scheduler that supports multiple applications and workflows by automating the process. This makes room for innovation that helps users to innovate rather than perform a repeated process. 

This being a SaaS automation tool, we benefit from integrating with other technologies across the enterprise and consolidating workflows across different environments. 

It helps us overcome limitations and gaps in complex processes that function between various resources. Process flows can be created and managed well. 

The cloud, data, and file management capabilities are remarkable.

The file transfer, cloud, and data can now be managed well.

Jobs can be scheduled, integrated, and automated without much effort.

There is an opportunity for innovation.

This product is simple and easy to use.

Redwood unifies the process by being user-friendly which makes work simple and easy to navigate across. It patches the gap in complex processes that function between resources. The solution scales and integrates with different technologies. It helps people overcome monotonous and repeated processes by providing the opportunity to innovate and think out of the box. 

It is uniquely designed for maximum benefit and scalability.

There is nothing much that the product should improve on except for adding new features. They should provide an easy-to-go-through document for beginners to understand and use the solution hassle-free. 

The product can improve customer service. 

Apart from these, it has impactful and unique features that stand out from any other application used. They are helpful in bringing people out of their comfort zone as they have room for innovation. 

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.

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.

We use Redwood Workload Automation for scheduling jobs and for automatic alert generation in case of long-running and failed jobs. 

It provides easy access to managing jobs and controlling the flow of automation. Alerts generated keep us up to date on the long-running jobs as well as failed jobs. 

Configuring the jobs is easy, and scheduling them through redwood makes it very effective for 24-hour monitoring. 

The Redwood support team is very helpful and gives a prompt response and fast resolution when needed.

Scheduling jobs from the Redwood end is a breeze. 

The automated alert response is very useful for long-running and failed jobs during off-business hours. 

A detailed summary of the job and its predecessors can be tracked very effectively using the redwood workload automation tool. Using the tool in day-to-day activities makes the tool very easy to handle work efficiently.

Some of the pros that we received after using the tool were:

• Easier administration of jobs
• Easier job search and error analysis
• Automated alerts help during off-business hours

Some improvements would be:

1. Having a graphical user interface for the dashboard.

2. Better Compatibility with other platforms for logging into the system.

I have been using it for more than a year.

The tool is stable and easy to use.

This is a very scalable, useful tool.

We have always received good support from the Redwood support team.

The first time using this technology/tool in the industry. I had no prior use of the tool.

I was not a part of the purchasing team.

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.
