Cloud Engineer at a financial services firm with 501-1,000 employees
Has streamlined complex job scheduling across scripting languages while reducing manual effort
JAMS could be improved with a web client that is accessible and as fast as a normal website, eliminating the need to RDP to the servers to access the JAMS client. A functionality running on the JAMS server to continuously check the JAMS agents would ensure they are working properly. If an agent is not responding, a feature to restart the service from the job server machine would be beneficial. The upgrade process, particularly when switching from V6 to V7, could be clearer in terms of documentation, ideally with screenshots showing exactly what needs to be done on each screen.

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…

Easy to organize, monitor, and control all jobs
The most valuable aspects of the solution are: 1. The ability to schedule tasks and jobs on multiple platforms (SAP and Non-SAP) and monitor the jobs. 2. Its ability to organize, monitor, control, and schedule all jobs and activities. 3. Redwood is a more powerful tool and provision to automate any tasks/jobs than any other tool in Batch scheduling (automatic and other tools). 4. It has advanced features like dashboards where users can see all statistics. 5. It has an alert mechanism feature; if any job fails, it triggers notifications. 6. Different security functionality for restricting users to certain functions (read/write). 7. Cost Reduction, complete automation, optimized resource usage, and full audit trail. 8. Vendor support. 9. Logging and statistics.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable aspect of JAMS is its robustness."
"I find the historical tracking feature of JAMS invaluable for reviewing past events."
"JAMS has been a beneficial monitoring tool for our project in terms of being able to deliver data that is essential for users."
"The alerting in it is really targeted... you can set specific alerting so that if jobs in a given folder fail, certain people are alerted. You can also set security at the folder level, so that only people in those areas can go set them. That means that the alerting and security can be set at a very granular level."
"The most valuable feature of JAMS is its user-friendly interface, especially after upgrading from version six to seven."
"The ability to sequence jobs is excellent; it means we don't have to schedule them individually, and if one fails, it doesn't unwind the entire workflow."
"One of the things I like the most, as a SQL DBA, is the fact that we can manipulate tables in the background. Also, the fact that you can have your own views and work with the product the way it fits best is a very helpful feature."
"The scheduling and execution of jobs are the most valuable features. The scheduling is important because if there is a task we want to execute at 4:00 AM, there's no way we will have someone who can manually run the job. In addition, we execute 100 to 200 jobs per day, and manual intervention is not an option."
"The Cloud Console for monitoring and troubleshooting data operations."
"It runs like an appliance and has tremendous throughput."
"Jitterbit handles the most lines of data in a .csv and loads the quickest of any data loader I have tried."
"It is very easy to build integrations and processes to pull and push data."
"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."
"Easy integration with Salesforce"
"We only use small parts of the solution, however, the parts that we use are quite adequate."
"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."
"Its monitoring and alerting features are what I found the most valuable."
"It's a very powerful tool. It has a lot of flexibility for how you can define jobs and build them. There are different ways in which you can construct jobs depending on your specific needs and requirements."
"Redwood manages all complex job workflow processes."
"Installing and configuring Redwood agents are easy, and scheduling jobs on Redwood helps in triggering the batches as per business requirements."
"Redwood helps us to schedule batch jobs on a daily, weekly, and yearly basis to keep the business running smoothly."
"With automation in place, employees can focus on more strategic tasks that require human expertise, increasing overall productivity."
"Error handling and the recovery feature ensure that my job processes are not stopped if any error occurs."
 

Cons

"JAMS lacks source control features. Our previous solution had job control language, but JAMS doesn't. When migrating between versions, JAMS doesn't migrate all the data, like job change history, etc. Also, the scheduler doesn't have a way to make jobs invisible, so you can temporarily turn a job off if you decide not to run it today."
"We have had a lot of people working from home who can't always connect to the JAMS server. We use VPN, as most companies do, and we have it set up so that everybody can access the JAMS server. But many times, our people cannot access it... JAMS could do a better job of telling you what the problem is when you try to log in to the server."
"Sometimes the UI is not the most responsive I've ever used. But because it does its job, I don't complain."
"JAMS handles exceptions fairly well but there are some areas where it might improve a little bit. It has to do with being able to automatically handle exceptions, out-of-the-box, rather than having to code them."
"The only thing that they could improve on is the fact that they don't have a browser version of JAMS. They've got all the bits and pieces there if you want to build your own web version of it. It does come with a web client, but it's pretty clunky. They could improve on that."
"The monitoring of the JAMS product and its performance is an area of concern for me."
"The UI could be better. There were some things that were not quite intuitive, such as the search tool. When we tried to search for jobs, we had to clear the entire search and then go in and enter the new search query. That's something that wasn't intuitive for a new user."
"As an admin, I would like to have a web-based GUI instead of a client application that we have to install on our PCs."
"Looping through complex data structures can be difficult."
"In the past few months, there have been some server downtimes during work hours that have affected some critical scheduled integrations."
"Sometimes additional connectors are needed."
"I would like the ability to offer a dedicated cloud version for security."
"The initial setup can be a little bit difficult."
"I know with Salesforce updating the UI like they did, it slowed it down a lot."
"There were some bugs in the product. For example if you run a delete query and test, it deletes the actual data."
"Sometimes we experience disconnections and I have to close all Jitterbit programs."
"We need the automatic creation of incidents for failed jobs."
"There is a lack of resources and product documentation which, if included, would help to gain more knowledge about the application."
"Redwood automation software could be made more user-friendly and intuitive, making chores and automation processes easier for users to complete."
"It lacks some of the common reporting features. I'm a bit surprised that there aren't some standard reports to be able to extract any data on usage. They've described to us that customers have different reporting needs, so they let them develop those, but reporting is a common need. It would be helpful to have it as part of the solution."
"The product can improve customer service."
"The product could be better in terms of its monitoring and alert service."
"It has limited reporting features; some basic reporting features are missing."
"Having a graphical user interface for the dashboard would be great."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of JAMS has not been an issue for us, as it has allowed us to save time."
"The pricing is very fair. We have seen very minimal to no price increases over the years. We are not banging down the door of support all the time either. I would imagine if we were a company that submitted a dozen support tickets a week for the last nine years, then it might be a little different because we would be eating up everybody's time. However, for what we get out of it, the pricing is extremely fair. Back when we were originally looking and brought in JAMS, we were looking at a couple of the other competitive products that were in this space, but the pricing from JAMS was far and away better than what the other competitors could offer for the same functionality."
"JAMS is close to the lower end of the pricing models for enterprise scheduling solutions. They are much cheaper than Control-M, as well as some other products that I've used. I also don't know of another solution where you can actually get true, unlimited licensing, where you can have as many instances and as many agents as you want."
"It's certainly a lot cheaper than Tivoli and Control-M. In comparison to them, you get a lot more bang for your buck. You get pretty much the whole functionality and more, in some cases, when compared to Control-M, but at a fraction of the price."
"Take advantage of its scalability. You can start small. The initial cost is very reasonable. Once you have started picking up the tool and adopting it, then you can scale up from there and buy more agents."
"Our licensing is pretty cheap because we have a state solution. So, we pay only $1,000 a year."
"JAMS is relatively inexpensive, with additional costs only incurred for tags, other services, and optional support renewals."
"It was $10,000 for the first year. Then, there is a maintenance cost for licensing every year that we get billed $5,000 for every year."
"The Jitterbit price is based upon endpoints. They also offer ERP connectors with their Enterprise edition"
"Jitterbit was extremely cost effective for us compared to other options."
"I do believe Jitterbit has one of the better pricing and licensing options out there compared to its competitors."
"Each business needs to determine if it is a mission critical aspect."
"The added bonus is that Jitterbit doesn't charge for any data volume/traffic."
"The solution's cost is mid-ranged compared to other vendors."
"It initially surprised me because we went from an application that was priced by connection to agents/the number of agents to an application that was priced based on the number of job executions. At that time, many of the products we looked at were also priced on job execution. That seems to be more common in the business or in the vendors that provide solutions out there, but that was probably our biggest difference."
