- In Redwood we can easily findout the reports as per the client requirement either it is related to running job or failured jobs
- As compared to earlier now we are investing less time or efforts for scheduling and monitoring the jobs
- Overall they are delivering the standard accuracy for the different different applications and i think it is most perfect thing in this tool.
In Automic we need to performed many function manually and in the redwood we can easily performed according to requirement. As well as in th automic we need to write scripte or coding for scheduling the jobs and in the redwood we can easily create the new jobs without coding.

Automation at its best!
It's a great scheduling tool that is easy to understand and operate. The structural diagram of the complex workflows really looks clear when we see the overall picture in Redwood . We can control a complex workflow with simple events, which makes life easier. It's excellent automation I would recommend it for any business. Also, hats off to the Redwood team, and whenever there is an issue, the Redwood team tries their best to resolve the issue for their customers.
- Jobs can be scheduled as per requirements
- There won't be any memory outage issue.
- The tool is supported by all the browsers
- There are few small things which support team needs to look into many a times when I download report it gets downloaded in .CAR file so its difficult to convert to excel file.
- Can add additional default time windows, and submit frames which helps in scheduling the batch job as per customer/business requirements.

- Can retrieve support files for each killed/error, completed, and schedule job which helps in finding the root cause of the failed job and seeking assistance from the Redwood support team.
- Automation helps in reducing the workload
Redwood has all new features and advanced technology. In Redwood, we can run a job on an Adhoc basis or we can schedule a job for future dated runs. Redwood tool does organizing, monitoring, controlling, and scheduling all jobs and activities. Redwood also contains documentation of each job and its history and statistics. where all of these are limited in some other automation tools.

Very versatile and simple to use
Redwood Workload Automation includes documentation for every single thing, including job definitions, reports, monitoring dashboards, etc. Redwood Workload Automation has less coding and scripting, and it performs and delivers business more quickly. can retrieve supporting files for every job that was killed or failed, finished, or scheduled. It aids in identifying the project's primary cause and asking the Redwood Workload Automation support team for help. To meet business demands, the content file can be uploaded to produce new documents. The majority of third-party systems can be connected with Redwood Workload Automation. It connects to the PI system, the bods system, the marc spectrum system, etc. in our use case. Redwood Workload Automation becomes the primary location for the workflow and data flow from several platforms. Using SAP Batch job definitions, Redwood Workload Automation jobs are imported straight from the SAP system. Redwood Workload Automation servers can be connected to Oracle DB, PeopleSoft, and other databases in addition to SAP ECC. The best functionalities are found in Redwood Workload Automation servers, which include chains, events, time windows, submit frames, and other features that reduce daily effort.
- Allows us to add dependencies that otherwise wouldn't be there and tie jobs from different systems together.
- used to schedule Batch jobs on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis to keep the business running smoothly.
- For our clients in the manufacturing industry and their team, we provide general business support. This training was also utilised to develop expertise for moving.
- A very good memory of the entire application.
- The chain editor need revision. For instance, we won't be able to flexibly join the jobs under the dependent setup.
- The largest complaint has been the lack of helpful documentation on how to use the product in specific situations, but I know Redwood Workload Automation is attempting to improve this.
- A large portion of the documentation is merely very high level and devoid of useful examples to get you started independently.
- There is no direct Excel export option from the job lists (like in service now)

- Simple to install Redwood Workload Automation agent servers on every server side and trigger the necessary jobs in keeping with business needs.
- Allows for the interdependent scheduling of groups of Windows scripts and shell scripts.
- Many problems have been fixed, such as the ability to gather data on the number of activities that are executed each day, receive email notifications when a job expires, and connect system agents to monitors.
- capable of adhering to SLAs for complicated order flows
Specifically compared to regular SAP SM37, none are capable of delivering the same broad set of features to drive extremely complicated setups inside this bulk flow. The benefit is that we can connect to databases and obtain information; in the past, we had to create numerous jobs and files to carry out this process.

- good resource to run your finance & business
- we can easily track the killed, error, and long-running Jobs.

Everything can be stopped or started, held or released, enable or disabled just by a click. Also can out monthly patching activity on Redwood system. supports all kinds of formats (example CSV, HTML,excel.xml, word. XML, car file, zip etc) which most of the automation tool fails to support. There is also an housekeeping job with script written inside it, which cleans past dated jobs monthly once and keeps Redwood clean.

RunMyJobs is being used across all of IT to provide a centralized point of processing, monitoring, and alerting for our business processes running on Windows Servers, AS/400 (iSeries), and Linux platforms, as well as direct JDBC connections to databases. Before implementation, processes were scheduled in various independent areas, such as windows task scheduler, with no alerting and no visibility for an operations team to monitor. In addition, before RMJ, cross-platform processes just had to be scheduled in good faith that prerequisites finished on time and successfully. RMJ solves that issue as well.
- Upgrades are fast and can be done in a "lights-out" manner
- The ability to organize functions into applications is very helpful
- Events such as a file watcher to kick off a process when a file is detected are done very well
- The documentation is lacking severely, many times even leading to a suggestion of paying for professional services to figure out processes. Also not updating documentation when a new release makes the old documentation obsolete.
- AS400/iSeries has been a constant battle since inception, once an update fixes one thing, another seems to break within the AS400/iSeries space, and sometimes the fixes don't actually fix the issue. Over time now this has gotten much beter.
- Allowing an issue to go back and forth within a ticket countless times (sometimes over 40 responses) without just getting everyone together on a meeting. Update - this has gotten much better with time.
- Communication needs a lot of improvement. I have had to reach out to support just to get release notes when a new release is made available.
- The ability to get accurate counts of historical process runs is limited currently to 35 days and since you are billed for each process run in all environments, not just Production, this limits accountability in historical billing inquiries.

- An issue occurred when we ran out of "credits" much sooner than anticipated. Further investigation showed a process in a TEST environment that was scheduled to run every 15 minutes was accidentally submitted on a schedule twice (so 2 processes running every 15 minutes). At that time we didn't even have the ability to run a report to find the rogue process, the vendor had to run it for us. That lack of ability for the customer was one thing, but to be dinged for non-production is also a point of contention.
- Positively for the processes that report correctly, it has been a big benefit for our IT Operations team to have the centralized monitoring of our critical processes.
- The ability to have a centralized system for our operations team to monitor and receive alerts has been very beneficial.
I was not part of the decision making on choosing RunMyJobs, but my understanding on what made RMJ stand out was the fact that it is in the cloud, with no infrastructure support needed on our side, as well as a promise that you could schedule and monitor jobs within ServiceNow. We later found out the ServiceNow promise was not correct and still don't have a direct method as of this writing.

It helps to have a broad understanding of IT functions for how we use runmyjobs, for instance, I know how to reboot a windows server via command line (although google will tell you as well), then to call an SSIS package on a SQL server, run a batch file, etc... With just that broad knowledge it makes it easier to understand the processes you have to support in the product. From there it is just repetition in the various aspects, such as the calendar functions, alerting, events, etc...
- Process Automation
- Monitoring
- Alerting
- Centralization
- Create ServiceNow incidents for the owning teams when a process fails.
- Schedule reboots for troublesome servers.
- Execute ServiceNow scheduled jobs via RMJ.
- Hopefully SFTP.

Being a redwood customer certainly helped, as well as the price for an enterprise scheduler in the cloud.
I think it would have been nice to have had some time to work through the tool, but I was trained while we were trying to implement, so it would be nice to have more time to get an overall understanding of the product before being live, but it all worked out.
- Third-party professional services

I'm unaware of the premium support.

- File Watcher events
- Alerts for processes in certain states (error state mostly)
- Process chains that involve multiple steps
- The promotion of multiple objects from one environment to another can be a little cumbersome one at a time.
- Acknowledging multiple operator messages, if not from the same process can be a bit cumbersome.
