Powerful work management and smart automation tool

There are enormous processes and jobs that will be running in the background to load the data and report it. Redwood manages it with perfection and does reduce the time taken to solve the issues which will make a good outcome from a business perspective.

PROS

Runmyjob is the best feature in the sofware as it schedules the jobs, Monitors it accordingly and reports it correctly based on the usage. It just simplifies all the complex workload jobs into simpler one. This also has SQL feature where queries can be run. Low coding required to mange the business perspective. The UI feels fresh and clean and easier to use.

CONS

There are less number of cons that I can think of, the support part and assistance can be done better and some automation features like assignment groups in ServiceNow can be also automated. The documentation part can also be improved so that it will be easier.

Best Automation tool for scheduling

The overall experience for Redwood is fantastic because it provides multiple tabs for using different functions at a single time. It is really very adaptable and user-friendly as compared to other softwares that are available in the market.

PROS

The most important thing for this tool is that we can easily schedule the job as per our client requirement.In this tool, there are many scheduling features which helps us to schedule a job on daily, weekly and monthly basis as well as there are many time-zones available for scheduling purpose.The best positive point about this tool is we can easily schedule the job with different different systems like SAP ABAP, Oracle etc.

CONS

According to me, there is no cons as of now but I would suggest a few things if they could provide i.e. excel export, fetching reports on daily basis and system health dashboard.It is hard to create customization of reports as per client requirement.

Reason for choosing Redwood RunMyJobs

I have compared the features of both before choosing Redwood and I got to know many additional features that Redwood is providing to us. The main features that helps me to choose this is User Interface.

Redwood RunMyJobs: Diving deep into Automation

PROS

We have automated several of the Job Scheduling processes, and it has help us automate several processes in Devops such as CI/CD pipelines, and the ticket alerting mechanism has helped our sustainment support team in taking respective action and solve business critical errors which otherwise would have resulted in business hindrances.

CONS

The cost is a bit high priced for the featured offered, due to which this hinders the middle and small cap companies from utilizing the tool for the business, also if the features were more enhanced so as to get a better reach over a lot of business processes , it would be then perfectly aligned with the price tag offered.

Reason for choosing Redwood RunMyJobs

Solarwinds were severely flawed in ticket alerting mechanism due to which a huge time was consumed in fixing the tool itself with the help of vendors and this resulted in unnecessary escalations leading to missing the SLA deadlines

Redwood technology delivers on promises

Migration from older scheduling tools with limited functionality. Streamlined financial month end processing and eliminated manual overhead of approximately 50% of 1 FTE. Merging of processes between SAP and non-SAP systems. Special schedule handling and file transfer processing. Active alerting for key job streams.

PROS

The capability to connect disparate systems - both SAP and non-SAP - and automate business processes. Additionally, the automation allows for sophisticated and advanced configurations to meet even the most demands of business needs (e.g., special calendars, unusual submission requirements, special handling, alerting).

CONS

No out-of-the-box reporting samples. It is not easy to create/produce metrics.

Reasons for switching to Redwood RunMyJobs

Product had moved to out of support and was managed by a third party provider. The tool was leveraged and not owned by the company, and moving to Redwood allowed for in-house ownership and control of the end-to-end processing.

The Container Store and RunMyJobs

We run several hundred thousand processes through RMJ every month. It essentially handles all of our backend batch processing. It has several ways to set up and maintain dependencies between processes and a very intuitive UI for building and maintaining processes and process chains. We have used the Redwood scheduling product for probably close to 20 years. We are happy with the product and how it has matured over the years and have no plans to change.

PROS

I like the ease of building processes and process chains. I like the WEB interface that I can access from any web-enabled device.

CONS

The WEB interface on a phone is difficult to use as it does not seem to be a Responsive layout. So, the printing is very small and accessing the functions and features on a phone requires a lot of expanding and shrinking of the screens to see/select what you need and then navigating to something else.

Reason for choosing Redwood RunMyJobs

We felt that the Redwood scheduling product offered a relatively simple scheduling platform without trying to be an Enterprise Management platform. We were just looking for a batch process scheduling platform that could bring UNIX scripts, Oracle functions, and Windows executables into a single scheduling platform that would allow us to better create and manage the dependencies between these systems and the Redwood product fit that need perfectly.

Vendor Response

Jeff - thanks for the great feedback in the review. Look forward to continuing to be the trusted partner for your scheduling and automation needs.
