Latha Viswanathan

Principal Data Base And Infrastructure Engineer at a outsourcing company with 501-1,000 employees

Automation has replaced nightly monitoring and delivers reliable, unified job scheduling

We have really enjoyed working with JAMS in terms of notifications, alerts, and streamlining. There used to be a process with Automate, which is another product from Fortra, but even before that, the other division of the company that we were merging with had a tool that was built in-house called a file handler or file distributor. It was an in-house developed tool, but it was not as streamlined or as efficient as JAMS is. We literally had to have a dedicated nighttime person monitoring. Although we are 24/7, the divisions of the company that we were using JAMS for have been small scale. While we have automated it, we have streamlined it in such a way that notifications go out and alerts go out, but if there is anything, then we get paged and alerted, and if anything needs to happen at midnight, we can wake up. On the other hand, with the tool I mentioned, the file handler and distributor, we used to have a dedicated nighttime person that had to be sitting and monitoring it to see when a file arrived, whether it met the conditions, and then execute the next particular job. By using JAMS, we have gained a lot more efficiencies in terms of all of those to streamline it, and there is no necessary need for having an overnight engineer just keeping an eye on all of this.

Future-proof and powerful with great support

Improvements include: 1) Cost of the Software. Redwood is more expensive than most of the other Automation Software available today; they could make it budget-friendly. 2) It has limited reporting features. Some basic reporting features are missing. 3) There is no option to extract data in Excel. This feature could help in finding errors in the data. 4) Integration with ServiceNow is not supported. 5) The cloud platform compatibility is not up to the mark. 6) Security standards need to be improved. 7) Handling failure is not great; the workflow stops when a job fails and human intervention is required. 8) Configuration and set-up are difficult for someone with less coding knowledge. 9) They need to provide more documentation to assist new users.

Have managed deployments with minimal hiccups and simplified job scheduling through intuitive interface

Scheduling and running jobs is valuable because it simplifies automation. You just need to connect the bot and you can run it easily. For example, with Selenium automation, I tried Automation Anywhere, but I did not see many packages available in Automation Anywhere. Compared to UiPath, there are many packages available to make automation easier, which is why I find UiPath to be the best. Another valuable feature is the ability to give access to people in UiPath Orchestrator at the organization level. They can log in and see the information themselves, which provides transparency to the people and helps with visibility.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The interface is good, and it's very easy to define and create jobs. If a job is not running or there is an error, the solution will send an email. That's all very good and very useful."

"The dashboard is intuitive."

"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 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."

"The most valuable feature of JAMS is its user-friendly interface, especially after upgrading from version six to seven."

"It has definitely drastically improved our capabilities to scale our automation. Before JAMS, there were a lot of manual processes. We had a couple of operators who spent all day doing that. A lot of the time with human intervention and human processes, it is as good as the person who may be following a procedure and human error is a big problem."

"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 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."

More JAMS pros

"It conjures simplicity from the depths of complexity, effortlessly shouldering burdensome workloads."

"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."

"In Redwood Automation, we can easily fetch the daily reports from the system as per the client's requirement and track the status of every job which is running, aborted, or canceled."

"This product is simple and easy to use."

"With automation in place, employees can focus on more strategic tasks that require human expertise, increasing overall productivity."

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

"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."

More Redwood RunMyJobs pros

"The product helps to monitor our automation process and keep statistics. When not dealing with just one process, we utilize the business process. From there, we obtain the necessary answers, and the robot completes the process accordingly. We keep on improving our processes to become more effective. Hence, we start with a small process."

"The centralized dashboard and asset management in UiPath Orchestrator have proven valuable in enhancing operational efficiency."

"I like UiPath Orchestrator's screen capture feature."

"UiPath Orchestrator has eliminated the need for human operation, enhancing our automation process."

"UiPath Orchestrator improves operational efficiency through its centralized dashboard and asset management."

"The support team is very responsive and effective in resolving issues promptly."

"The centralized login feature greatly helps because we can also use the Active Directory feature. We do not need to create a new user. We can connect with a user from a company, and we can add all the groups they have to set the features for a specific group. We do not need to do that for each user, and we can do that for a specific role we have in the company. I think this helps a lot."

"From what I have seen, it is a reliable tool."

More UiPath Orchestrator pros

Cons

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The UI is completely unintuitive. We had to go and open up a support ticket with JAMS just to get something back."

"Improvements could be made in the service desk's knowledge and communication skills among engineers to better address customer needs and ensure issues are fully resolved."

"All my machines at work are Macs. JAMS client is a Windows-based thing."

"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."

"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."

More JAMS cons

"The product could be better in terms of its monitoring and alert service."

"Due to the abundance of competing automation technologies available on the market, connectivity with any cloud platform can be improved."

"Redwood Software has a high price tag, especially for small and medium-sized businesses that might not have the funds to engage in a complete automation system."

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

"The only issue at first was that we had to manually delete or raise the event in order to run some of the events and wait for jobs, even if the file was kept at the correct AL11 position."

"It lacks some of the common reporting features. It would be helpful to have it as part of the solution."

"It would be nice if Redwood RunMyJobs could work on different systems."

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

More Redwood RunMyJobs cons

"The account setup and organization page setup are a little difficult. When we do the organization setups, I find it challenging, though I think if you have experience, it becomes easier."

"Clarity on integrating SQL databases and server configurations would improve implementation processes."

"In my opinion, some improvements could be made in the UiPath Orchestrator. For example, it's not so simple to see all the time triggers that we have. We need to check each folder and see all the triggers to see what kind of robot will run. We do not have all the triggers in one place, showing the time they will run and for which process in each folder. Another thing is that the tool for monitoring processes does not show the relation between the process and the machines running them. We can check which machine is available or not because it is running a process, but we cannot see the process and the machine running it in one view."

"The product must provide process mining features."

"The solution's deployment and architecture aspects could be improved."

"We encounter errors while configuring and integrating the product with other vendors."

"The licensing cost associated with the tool is too high. If the tool can reduce the license cost, most of the organizations will opt for it."

"The major issue is with the application according to the new version of the UI."

More UiPath Orchestrator cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."

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

"The pricing is reasonable."

"This is a good product at a fair price."

"All licensing models are a little overpriced, but JAMS offers a good value, especially given their support response times and ability to handle unforeseen issues like the SFTP transfers. I hope to find more use cases to get a better bang for our buck."

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

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

More JAMS 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."

"The product is expensive, and the associated licenses add to the expenses, initially making deploying new processes costly."

"The pricing is reasonable and competitive."

"The product is quite expensive."

"Larger organizations may benefit from more favorable pricing, as the costs can be distributed across more licenses."

"The product has reasonable pricing."

"I rate UiPath Orchestrator's pricing a six out of ten."

"The solution is very expensive. Compared to Microsoft, another tool that is much cheaper than the tool, it does not have the same features that UiPath Orchestrator has. The most valuable feature in my platform is the queue items in UiPath Orchestrator to evaluate the products using this feature."

"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
