Features: MuleSoft Anypoint Platform provides robust API management and integration services with over 200 connectors and API toolkits. It facilitates API reuse via Anypoint Exchange and offers both visual and code-based integration options, emphasizing performance and scalability. Redwood RunMyJobs excels in task automation and scheduling with versatile options for job handling, load balancing, and error management. It caters effectively to diverse business needs, allowing seamless integration with various systems.

Room for Improvement: MuleSoft could enhance its batch processing capabilities, technical support, and runtime management while addressing pricing concerns and release cycle speed.

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.

Greg O

Senior Validation Engineer at Weir Group PLC

Integration workflows have become transparent and secure while error tracking is streamlined

The best features in MuleSoft Anypoint Platform for me are transparency between logging in or deploying and using different environments. Managing different environments for the transparency of error logins or how to trace traceability is very important. It's very easy to use and sort, so you can see where everything has gone right and everything has gone wrong. I'm aware of the drag-and-drop interface in MuleSoft Anypoint Platform, and it's very, very quick. It's very time-saving and very efficient. The security features on MuleSoft Anypoint Platform help maintain data integrity in my organization; I would say it's second to none. It's one of the best out there that I have worked with because of the encryption and decryption, and there are a lot of security aspects. I would assess the platform's data mapping and transformation capabilities as amazing. Automation has been straightforward; the transformation and mapping have been easy to use, easy to source, and from the source to the target. I would say it has been very good.

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 user-friendly and adaptable scheduler allows us to manage various scheduling scenarios."

"The fact that we no longer need to use Excel spreadsheets is huge. Before JAMS, every group was keeping track of their own batch jobs. Nobody really knew what the other jobs were. So, if jobs failed, other groups wouldn't necessarily know. With JAMS, everything is done through a single scheduler. You can choose who to notify."

"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 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 dashboard is intuitive."

"I appreciate JAMS for its readily available templates that allow me to create and deliver stand-up presentations within minutes quickly."

"The most valuable feature for us is that it's DR-ready. With respect to disaster recovery, it has the built-in capability for failover to our DR site. If all of the required ports are open, it can be done seamlessly."

"JAMS has improved my organization by taking a myriad of manual processes and allowing us to automate them. It enables our folks to focus more on tasks that require their human intelligence and their creativity and less on just mundane tasks. It increases efficiency, accuracy, and consistency."

More JAMS pros

"The API-led connectivity approach of MuleSoft Anypoint Platform offers specific functionality based on various conditions."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is a huge list of available connectors for a lot of different platforms, which we can use very easily."

"The most valuable feature of Anypoint MQ is it comes with MuleSoft so we don't have to maintain separate components."

"The most valuable features for us are flexibility, all the features related to connectivity with multiple connectors to the business, and the flexibility of on-premises and cloud deployments."

"The platform's cloud integration capabilities are good."

"The most valuable feature is the full lifecycle management, including Anypoint Designer and Exchange, as well as Discofolio API."

"The most beneficial features for handling data integration with Mule Anypoint Platform include its ability to integrate seamlessly with other popular platforms like IBM, Dell Boomi, and Microsoft Azure. MuleSoft stands out due to its unique one-point solution for various integration problems, including application and network integration, and its iPaaS services. The Design Center allows for designing APIs that can be made into reusable assets. Additionally, MuleSoft's capability to handle various technologies, such as Python and Java Spring Boot APIs, and monitor them using the Flex Gateway is valuable. Regarding API management, MuleSoft offers a gateway facility, including Flex Gateway, which supports API management with robust governance capabilities. Policies like rate limiting, blocklisting, allowlisting, and client ID enforcement can all be managed through the API Manager, providing comprehensive control over API operations."

"This is a good platform for designing, flowing out APIs, and then doing API-based integrations."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pros

"REL expressions are quite helpful for setting up the preconditions."

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

"There won't be a memory outage issue, as it uses its own server/ECC memory only."

"It can centralize and support on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments seamlessly."

"Redwood RunMyJobs has been very useful for job scheduling and checking and monitoring jobs."

"This tool helps us to monitor the job related to SAP modules."

"There are various ways in which you can construct jobs depending on your business needs and requirements."

"It has advanced features like dashboards where users can see all statistics."

More Redwood RunMyJobs pros

Cons

"When looking at a folder in JAMS with many jobs, it would be good to have better information in the list display of what's inside those jobs. We get some information, but other important details are missing."

"I want JAMS to implement a global search function."

"Fortra is getting much better with documentation and examples, but there is still room for improvement."

"There could be a better simulation for banning the termination. You have to simulate every one of the processes in order to have an idea for better planning. This kind of simulation is broken and needs improvement."

"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."

"I would like to see the ability to interface with Microsoft group-managed service accounts, but they're still in the research phase. They need to ensure everything's legit and safe. The report designer and dashboards could also be improved. We're running 7.3, so I don't know if they have updated the reporting in 7.5, but I think the reports and dashboards could be better."

"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."

"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."

More JAMS cons

"In MuleSoft Anypoint Platform, there is a disadvantage because users need substantial technical understanding, which creates a barrier for citizen developers."

"Mule Anypoint Platform could improve by having better integration with MDM. There are challenges when doing the interaction at this time."

"From a monitoring point of view, MuleSoft Anypoint Platform can improve on tracking transactions."

"Mule Anypoint Platform is complex for beginners. Users without programming skills will find it complex. It should also improve its pricing."

"The initial setup should be made easy and the documentation should have some guidance."

"Better documentation, in particular with respect to the initial setup, would be helpful."

"The terms of use and how it's priced has become very difficult to manage, which is forcing us to look for alternatives already - and we haven't even been using it for that long just yet."

"The cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required, especially when compared to other tools, like Dell Boomi or Oracle."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform cons

"We need the ability to pull data into an Excel format."

"The job log has a size limit."

"Redwood RunMyJobs should add more good features."

"The addition of machine learning capabilities could help Redwood Workload Automation Software better predict job and workflow performance, detect anomalies, and optimize operations based on historical data."

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

"The user interface of Redwood can be improved a bit to make it more user-friendly and interesting."

"Adding machine learning and AI capabilities would enable Redwood to automate more complex business processes and tasks."

"They should be made more cost-effective in comparison to similar software services."

More Redwood RunMyJobs cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is reasonably priced, and we don't have any add-ons."

"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."

"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."

"In the end, you'll find that it's really worth the price. There is some sticker shock, but it's worth every dime."

"Our licensing is pretty cheap because we have a state solution. So, we pay only $1,000 a year."

"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."

More JAMS pricing and cost advice

"The pricing of our solution is highly competitive. While it may not be categorized as exceptionally low, it is certainly more affordable compared to IBM."

"The product's price seems to be competent in comparison to other products in the market."

"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"The solution's pricing, as per the old approach, is expensive."

"Regarding pricing, I believe there could be room for improvement to align with user expectations."

"Mule Anypoint Platform pricing is slightly higher compared to Dell Boomi."

"The solution has a high price."

"Making changes in Anypoint MQ is expensive."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pricing and cost advice

"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."
