Redwood Software is one of the best low-code automation platforms for scheduling complex jobs and monitoring processes. It is used in various domains like banking, manufacturing, hospitality, and so on. It executes critical business tasks such as billing and reporting with high speed and precision which makes it one of the best cloud solutions for organizations.

We can schedule multiple jobs with ease and trigger them as per the requirements. Filters are available for searching and extracting jobs and tracking the error, long-running jobs. The tool is supported by all browsers.

The scheduling of jobs is very complicated, and Redwood makes my task easier as job scheduling is easy in Redwood, and learning modules are simple and clear.

Redwood Software provides some more features like load balancing on nodes, and it is also possible to limit the number of jobs that can run in parallel with the help of an execution size limit in ECC queue.

It is possible to retrieve support files for each of the error, completed, and scheduled jobs which make it easier to find the root cause of a failed job. Redwood software has less coding/scripting with faster performance and delivery of business.

Redwood has multiple job scheduling options; that is, jobs can be scheduled with event wait, they can be chained, and steps can also be added, which makes the user's life much easier.

Installing and configuring Redwood agents are easy, and scheduling jobs on Redwood helps in triggering the batches as per business requirements.

The overall system health and schedule health can be checked in the monitoring dashboard, which shows the total count of errors, completed, and long-event wait jobs so that we don't have to extract reports every now and then for specific issues.

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

The integration with ticketing tools such as ServiceNow takes a lot of time which can be improved.

It would be helpful if we could copy the values from screens especially when we create filters. The job log has a size limit.

They could add additional default time windows and submit frames which would help in scheduling the batch job as per the requirements. 

Redwood will be even better to use if these small changes are looked into, although it's still one of the best tools that we can use for automation.

I've used the soluton for one year.

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.

We can easily track the status of the job, and if any error is encountered we can easily solve that issue via the given familiar functions.

This tool helps us to schedule and monitor jobs related to SAP modules like FI, MM, SD, HR, etc. It also provides the cancellation, start, and restart of the process for the running jobs at the same time as per the business requirements. 

From the monitoring perspective, we can easily track the status of a job, and if any error is encountered, we can easily solve that issue by the given familiar functions.

It is easy to overcome complicated tasks. This tool helps us to monitor the job related to SAP modules. There won't be a memory outage issue; it will work with all browsers.

It's amazing how easy it is to use Redwood Business Process Automation and implement it in my work  

The areas it needs improvement are in the directional use. To start is a bit difficult. More instructions will help. 

We need the ability to pull data into an Excel format. That would also quite help to tally and get data effortlessly.

I am fascinated with the performance that this software allows me to have. It is fully functional and meets all the requirements to help me carry out my work effectively. I use it safely and without any inconvenience on an SAP platform. It is really comfortable, and I like it. 

It helps me to synthesize all the programming of a wide variety of jobs that enter our database daily and must be corrected in record time. 

This digital platform allows me to configure certain aspects for efficiency in different processes, 

I've used the solution for about six months.

The stability of the tool is quite amazing. It is quite user-friendly and helps in scheduling jobs effortlessly in the production environment.

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.

I build, schedule, and automate jobs. I'm part of the team that did the development and version updates for the tool. Our team generally uses the Scheduler.

Report generation and automated delivery is the primary use case in our project to meet business and management requirements.

Almost all manual tasks and triggers have been replaced with an automated setup.

In terms of implementation, the core of it is SaaS, and we still have some internal servers. It's never 100% SaaS - hence considered a hybrid.

Redwood Software helped me build, deploy, schedule, and set up automated triggers in the jobs. This was a tedious manual activity that had to be automated. That's where Redwood became a life savior.

The monthly and weekly reports were automated as per functional and business requirements. This data was too hard to fetch from the databases. Once Redwood integration was done, this became an easy task.

Redwood Software (Workload Automation Edition) did not help in monitoring and metric generations as continuous monitoring was still required sometimes and we faced some glitches in alerting.

It's an amazing tool. It is flexible and meets almost all functional and business requirements for how you can define jobs and build them. 

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

It has a lot of features for different ways that you can build jobs, which is great for power users but a bit confusing for newcomers because there are a lot of different options.

The monitoring alerts should be set up very precisely for accurate functionality.

The product could be better in terms of its monitoring and alert service. The previous versions have an issue with alert configurations and cannot be properly integrated with the mailing system.

Control systems can be enhanced. We'd like a role-based module so that the users, administrators, and super users can have elevated/differentiated access based on their roles.

The metrics explorer is yet to be enhanced so that the statistics can be made available easier for better user interaction and analysis. This could enhance visibility and Interaction.

I've used the solution for one year.

We use this for scheduling SAP batch jobs.

The jobs can be scheduled as per the requirements.

We can easily import jobs from SAP ECC systems.

As it has pre-defined options and it helps in managing the jobs.

We can connect to many third-party systems.

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

Without any interruptions, Redwood can connect to N number of third-party systems/legacy systems. There won't be any interruption to the job.

With an easy search option, we can get details about jobs.

We can schedule a batch job for all third-party systems and help to schedule jobs as per the regional/country time.

The alerting mechanism prevents business impact, and we have no need to log in to the SAP system and monitor batch jobs. Whenever any job fails/is long-running we immediately get an email notification and we can take necessary action.

It offers easy scheduling of jobs daily/weekly/monthly.

There are many filters we can use to check the job status. There is also a customized filter option which helps to get the reports as needed. 

As this contains almost all the time zones, we can schedule jobs as per the regional/country time.

The best part of the tool is the submit frame & time window where we can schedule jobs as per the requirements.

We can schedule a batch job for all third-party systems.

This tool supports all browsers.

As it includes alerting mechanisms, it helps to avoid some business impact.

Without any interruptions, Redwood can connect to N number of third-party/legacy systems. Once the job is scheduled, there won't be any interruption to the job.

We need the automatic creation of incidents for failed jobs.

In the dashboard, it could show the total count of jobs in a system, for example,  how many are in running/scheduled/held/event wait states.

In reports, if we have pre-defined reports such as killed/completed jobs of that particular month, it would be easy for auditing purposes.

If there's a direct export option, it would be great. Every time we need to run a report to export the data.

Submit frame/time window could have more pre-defined options, which will help us to schedule the job easily.

It's been a year of using this tool.

We did not use a different solution previously.

It is cost effective.

License renewal is a very easy process.

We did not evaluate other options.

The primary use case for using Redwood Workload Automation Software is its ability to automate and orchestrate complex business processes and IT workflows across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. 

The feature I appreciate when using the software is DevOps Automation. The software automates the deployment of applications and infrastructure, ensuring that the development and operations teams can work together more efficiently. The Software also automates the scheduling of batch jobs for data processing, data backups, and data transfers.

Redwood Workload Automation Software is designed in such a way it helps organizations optimize their operations, improve efficiency, and reduce costs by automating repetitive tasks, scheduling jobs, and monitoring workflows. 

Since my organization has numerous applications, the software helps in application integration by orchestrating the flow of data between different applications and systems, ensuring that the data is processed in the correct sequence. 

The software helps organizations to achieve and maintain regulatory compliance by automating and enforcing policies and procedures.

Its monitoring and alerting features are what I found the most valuable. Monitoring workflows and sending alerts when issues arise, such as when a job fails or when a threshold is exceeded, allows users to quickly identify and resolve the issues before they become big problems. This helps to improve reliability and reduces downtime. 

The software provides detailed reporting and analytics capabilities, allowing users to analyze job and workflow performance, identify trends, and optimize their operations.

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 addition of artificial intelligence capabilities could help the software provide intelligent recommendations based on real-time data. 

Overall, Redwood Software is a powerful and versatile tool, and the addition of new features helps to meet the evolving needs of organizations.

I have been using this solution for the past year.

We use Redwood RunMyJobs for job scheduling and all job-related things.

We were previously using SAP SM37, and we were not able to schedule the jobs. Redwood RunMyJobs has been very useful for job scheduling and checking and monitoring jobs.

Redwood RunMyJobs should add more good features.

I have been using Redwood RunMyJobs for two years.

I rate Redwood RunMyJobs an eight or nine out of ten for stability.

Many users are using Redwood RunMyJobs for job scheduling in our organization.

I rate Redwood RunMyJobs an eight out of ten for scalability.

The solution’s initial setup is easy.

Redwood RunMyJobs is deployed on-cloud in our organization.

Overall, I rate Redwood RunMyJobs an eight out of ten.

We use the solution for automating jobs and schedules. Prior to this, I was using AWS and a few other paid services for regular monitoring of servers and such. Since Redwood, everything has been smooth as it takes care of most of the automation part and 

It looks into history and logs of everything done from the past week. It helps us to focus on other goals rather than just work on something mutedly.

The product supports all browsers and all time zones. I don't have to worry about time zones while I work.

The solution has improved our organization via:

• Multi-platform scheduling makes it easier this way rather than accessing one platform at a time.
• Central monitoring. The dashboard provides all the required data.
• Logging, alerting, and notifications. We see the huge benefit since most of the manual work is reduced this way.
• Analyzing and visualization give a clear understanding of errors and critical logs, hence easy to resolve complex issues.
• Application integration has a broad range of enterprise applications that are timely and efficient in terms of work.
  

The most valuable aspects include: 

• Load balancing and proper memory management
• Scheduling of jobs without any manual monitoring 

More than anything, I can work on my time. Even teams within different countries can work on their own time so that we don't have to schedule everything in one particular time zone.

The automatic workload balancing between servers is a huge time saver as this simplifies most of the issues and monitoring stuff related to space, CPU usage, and logs. The analysis of the given data is also quite amazing.

The solution can make the following improvements:

• They should be made more cost-effective in comparison to similar software services.
• I would love a direct download option like service now or AWS services. It would be easier to access the data rather than just viewing and trying to do a workaround.
• The documentation is very high-level and should be more user-friendly, as the vocabulary used is a bit confusing at times. There should be more efficient or simple explanations can help.
• The application integration is quite complex. It would help if it was made simpler.

I have been using this for around a year now, and it has been good so far. So much manual work is reduced thanks to this tool. Automation is a game changer.

It likely will be one of the greatest automation tools in the near future.

People don't realize its capacity until they use it. Once you start using it you will buy it either way.

There is always room for improvement with support, however, as of now, the support is good.

I was using AWS and ServiceNow to monitor the servers. It was more of a manual job since, in Redwood, everything is simple.

The setup process was easy to understand. That said, it took some time to learn as it offers many services.

We had help from the vendor team, and it was great.

We have seen an ROI definitely from the features and the time it saves on jobs and tracking tasks.

Even though the setup cost is a bit expensive, the product is worth it, and the user framework is great.

I did not evaluate any other solution. This was a recommendation from a friend, and I love it.

They need to reduce the cost and add a download feature for bulk data.
