Redwood RunMyJobs Reviews

Our primary usage of Redwood Automation is to monitor batch processing in SAP. This helps us automate and streamline the process and also helps in reducing the overall run time for long-running processes. 

We also use this software to run in parallel, unlike the standard SAP scheduler. We use predefined features that actually help in managing processes in importing jobs from SAP ECC systems. Some of the automation features use low code that has a business impact in reducing workload. It is the most advanced automation tool.

It can manage complex job workflow processes. 

Infrastructure for the scheduler is taken care of by Redwood software itself so that it benefits us in running jobs. Maintenance and upkeep are negligible. 

It is very easy and easy to use, and minimal supervision is required to run it. 

We can easily orchestrate jobs across several systems, and there are N number of possible ways to do so. With this, complex jobs also can be reduced to easier tasks, and solution for the same is also approximate, which makes it a powerful tool.

The UI feels fresh and neat, which is a basic thing that keeps users using the tool, whereas the competitors lack this feature. 

It has drastically reduced the consumption of time and effort spent by a user on updates and maintenance since features like automation help in doing those tasks instead of us. 

It helps us to integrate complex processes that combine SaaS and on-premises solutions with a wide range of SAP and Non-SAP applications. We get the latest available data in the data warehouse. 

Since it is a powerful tool, there are fewer complaints that we can encounter for performance or automation issues. 

It also is better at scheduling non-dependent tasks for optimal usage of resources. 

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

It lacks some common features like assignment groups in ServiceNow which has to be manually done. This feature can be implemented so as to reduce the time consumption of users in assigning it.  

Redwood Software’s RunMyJobs workload automation solution IT teams can create and run essential scheduled and event-driven processes, manage file and data transfers, and orchestrate automation across applications and other tools like RPA.

Enterprises in every industry, from manufacturing, utility, retail, and biotech to hospitality, banking, and aerospace, rely on Redwood. 

Our low-code automation platform is at the core of critical business operations such as forecasting, replenishment, reconciliation, financial close, order-to-cash, billing, reporting, and more.

Redwood manages the workload of ERP platforms like SAP, Oracle, etc. It also has an additional feature of load balancing through nodes and can restrict the number of jobs running in parallel by entering the execution size limit in the ECC queue.

Redwood manages all complex job workflow processes.

Whenever we are experiencing issues with the Redwood system, we can send log files to the Redwood support team by selecting get support files at the top right corner of the redwood window. Redwood software is supported in almost all web browsers, unlike other software that doesn't support it.

Before, we were using the SAP CPS chronicle tool to schedule batch jobs which doesn't have a user-friendly interface and were not flexible enough to use. Later, when we shifted to Redwood Software everything was hassle-free and we could import hundreds of jobs just using a script. That made our life much easier.

Having multiple options to restrict the use and authority to use Redwood Software to users (user only, scheduler admin, etc) was great. It solved many problems. We can now take reports on how many jobs are running daily, mail alerts for job failures, platform agents connected, and dashboards.

In Redwood, all job-related information can be accessed and downloaded, including job spool lists, job statistics, application logs, etc., which is actually an added advantage for the user to check and analyze the job-related issue.

However, when I check operator messages, there are a lot of messages stuck in the queue. For example, "couldn't send alert" mail to a few recipients. 

The job log has a size limit. 

These are very minor things to look into. If these issues are fixed Redwood, will be in a great position.

Redwood RunMyJobs is mainly used to make job schedules happen automatically. I've used it for important tasks, and it's been really helpful. It's a dependable and efficient platform for automating important work processes. 

You can also use it to automatically back up your organization's data every day. It shows how well your organization is doing and tells you if something important doesn't work. Redwood RunMyJobs has saved me a lot of time and effort because it does my job schedules automatically. 

I would recommend it to anyone who needs a good tool for getting work done on time. One great thing about it is that it's good at handling errors and can work with other systems. It's easy to set up if you know a bit about it, and it's user-friendly. It helps you get more done.

Redwood RunMyJobs made my organization work better. It saves us a lot of time and money by doing jobs automatically. It also reduces the mistakes that people make. 

The tool is really good at keeping our data safe when it's being used. We can connect it to other systems and programs easily. It also tells us how well our work is going and helps us find and fix mistakes. 

Redwood RunMyJobs is a tool we can trust. Redwood makes things happen automatically and smoothly. It helps make the process of creating and using software easier, so we can deliver it faster. This means we can keep testing and using it all the time. This saves time, makes our software better, and lets us control how we build it.

This solution is like a reliable alarm system. 

It sends alerts right on time, telling everyone when a task is about to fail because it's taking too long or when it's stuck unexpectedly for a while. 

It also lets everyone know when a job is successfully done, making it easy to keep track of our work. It's a super useful tool for doing repetitive tasks, and it saves a ton of time while making sure mistakes are rare. 

When we need to stop all scheduled tasks, especially during updates or downtime, we can pause them easily.

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

The support team is helpful, however, they could be even better at reaching out to users who need help. 

If the reporting options were more flexible, it would make the product better. 

Also, if the way it looks and works is easier for people who don't know much about tech, that would be good. 

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.

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. 

The initial setup of the software is quite challenging. There are some difficulties faced during dependencies set up under jobs. 

The customer support and documentation part can be improved for much better response and understanding. A course could be provided on the tool in the market about the importance and usage. 

Apart from the above, Redwood is doing great at its automation and is highly recommended

 I've used the solution for two years.

We did not previously use a different solution.

We did not previously evaluate other options.

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.

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're impressed with the way Redwood transformed workflow automation in our organization. It has become an integral part of our daily and weekly operations, streamlining processes, and increasing efficiency. Redwood has a great Interface that is easy to use.

It takes little time to become familiar with all the features, including drag-and-drop functionality. Some templates make it relatively easy to use. Its scheduling capabilities help ensure tasks are accurately executed on time. We can identify the issues and address them quickly. Reports are generated by the filters and scheduled timings to track the status of the tasks.

I would appreciate it if they improved the service in terms of support and assistance for the software. There is a lack of resources and product documentation which, if included, would help to gain more knowledge about the application. 

Small businesses may step back from the solution as the cost and pricing are more expensive. 

The downtime of the software should be reduced; it takes quite a long time to download the bulk data. 

The Excel document export option is unavailable for job transport.
