Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 28, 2025

MuleSoft Anypoint Platform and Redwood RunMyJobs compete in the enterprise IT solutions category, focusing on API management and task automation, respectively. MuleSoft appears to have the upper hand with its comprehensive API tooling and integration capabilities, despite challenges with pricing and support.

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. Redwood RunMyJobs could improve monitoring features, cloud compatibility, and support documentation. There is also a demand for enhanced reporting capabilities and a more intuitive interface to boost usability.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: MuleSoft offers flexible deployment options across public, private, and hybrid clouds with a focus on API-led connectivity.

reviewer2770605

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.

Sr. Demantra consultant at Capgemini

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

"JAMS offers diverse scheduling capabilities for any kind of job, including Linux, PowerShell scripts, and SQL, enabling automation of jobs, which has proven beautiful after three years of usage."

"The overall product is fantastic. I love it. It has been a fantastic, solid product. If I have one tiny bit of a problem with it, the support team gets in touch with me right away. I don't know if I've had another service that has been as fantastic as the JAMS support team."

"JAMS has helped save IT staff time by automating tasks previously performed with scripts, and its scheduling feature has been particularly useful."

"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."

"It's a full-featured job scheduling tool. The part that I liked the best was the support team. This tool was new, and we were all learning it and setting up the different jobs that were complex in nature. Their support team was very responsive in helping us out through the setup and resolving the issues. They have been incredibly awesome."

"The dashboard is intuitive."

"I find the historical tracking feature of JAMS invaluable for reviewing past events."

"The product is easy to use."

More JAMS pros

"We use simple queues and exchanges to route messages to multiple queues. The publish/subscribe model is also helpful."

"It is a stable product...The initial setup was simple."

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

"Messaging and queueing solution that has good stability and scalability. It can be used for a variety of messaging types."

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

"It is very easy to use for building connectors. It comes with a lot of connectors. For example, it has different adapters for NetSuite, which are very easy to use. It also has Salesforce connectors. The object store feature is also really easy to use. Mule Anypoint Platform is also good in terms of performance and how it is managed behind the scenes."

"MuleSoft Anypoint Platform's most valuable features are its observability and stability."

"The most valuable feature is their integrations and very good API management."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform pros

"Redwood manages all complex job workflow processes."

"Redwood is more flexible and we can schedule the tasks based on different time zones."

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

"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."

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

"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."

"We can create and test micro-workflows to find defects sooner."

More Redwood RunMyJobs pros

Cons

"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."

"It does validations when you try to delete an object and if there are any dependencies in place, the deletion process will not proceed... there is no information provided as to what it was that caused the validation to fail... it's quite a tedious process to find which object is getting in the way."

"All my machines at work are Macs. JAMS client is a Windows-based thing. It is all built on .NET, which makes perfect sense. However, that means in order for me to access it, I need to connect to a VPN, then log onto one of our Azure VMs in order to access the JAMS client. This is fine, but if for some reason I am unable to do so, it would be nice to be able to have a web-based JAMS client that has all the exact same functionality in it. There are probably a whole bunch of disadvantages that you would get with that as well, but that is definitely something that would make life easier in a few cases."

"The monitoring of the JAMS product and its performance is an area of concern for me."

"JAMS has built-in reporting. I've never really used it. I tried using it a few years ago and I couldn't figure it out. It was wonky. It could be improved upon."

"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."

"The client is horrible. Every time JAMS puts out a survey on what they can improve, I always say, "The client: When you are setting up jobs, it is quite horrible." The response has been, "Well, we are just using the Windows foundation," and I am like, "Why isn't it only your product?" We can get around it now that we know its quirks, but it is not the most user-friendly of tools out there. The UI is completely unintuitive. We had to go and open up a support ticket with JAMS just to get something back. It is not user-friendly at all."

"The monitoring of the JAMS product and its performance is an area of concern for me."

More JAMS cons

"One area for improvement is the Community Hub or developer portal, which should be part of the base offering."

"The runtime management and connectors could use some work and are vulnerable to breakage after upgrades."

"When we are integrating with other applications, readily available connectors make it easy. However, when it comes to external applications, connectivity isn't as straightforward."

"The logs in terms of how the logs are populated could be improved."

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

"From a monitoring point of view, MuleSoft Anypoint Platform can improve on tracking transactions. When dealing with multiple transactions or trading, the system can lose control, and tracking becomes hectic."

"It has different types of subscriptions. For platinum or lower subscriptions, there are not too many things that can be done. We don't see many features. They should release a basic version that has logging and monitoring features. These features should come with Mule Anypoint Platform for free instead of making customers pay separately for these features. Its dashboard can be improved to have a lot of charts so that it is easy to visualize information. The utilization part can be improved. The dashboard is good currently, but it can be better. Other solutions like Elastic have a good dashboard, and they allow you to administer the product from the UI. Currently, for RTF, there is a different dashboard or utility. It would be good to include the same utility in the cloud solution. It would be good if there is a centralized repository that includes the links to the information about various troubleshooting issues. The documentation is there currently, and it is good, but the troubleshooting information is too scattered. We have to go to different links to find troubleshooting information. This kind of centralized repository would be helpful for new customers who are implementing this solution. It will be helpful to see different kinds of issues that can occur."

"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

More MuleSoft Anypoint Platform cons

"We'd like to see an integration with ServiceNow to raise the tickets/incidents in ServiceNow."

"Enhancing the user interface would make it more appealing to new users with limited technical knowledge."

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

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

"The product can improve customer service."

"The documentation for this product is limited, which can be improved in the future."

"There is a lack of resources and product documentation which, if included, would help to gain more knowledge about the application."

"Redwood RunMyJobs should add more good features."

More Redwood RunMyJobs cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing model for JAMS is straightforward and based on the number of agents, not the number of jobs you run. It's cheap and fairly simple."

"Definitely check how many single processes you want to run and count them as jobs. That is how you would work out your pricing on JAMS. For example, if you're running a number of commands and you can put them all into one script and run that script, you can count that as one job."

"The pricing of JAMS has not been an issue for us, as it has allowed us to save time."

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

"JAMS is priced competitively compared to similar solutions and offers flexible licensing options to cater to user needs."

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

"There are no additional costs other than the license for Fortra's JAMS which is affordable."

"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

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

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

"The product comes complete at one set price including support."

"The solution is the priciest in the market which is an issue for some clients."

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

"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 tool's pricing is cheaper than other RPAs' since it is execution-based. Other RPAs charge based on subscriptions."

"Mule Anypoint Platform is an expensive solution."

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."
