Pros
"One of Redwood Software's features that I liked was its event-driven automation, which allows IT teams to respond to real-time events, alerts, and notifications from numerous systems.""It is very easy and easy to use, and minimal supervision is required to run it.""Redwood manages all complex job workflow processes.""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.""Multi-platform scheduling makes it easier this way rather than accessing one platform at a time.""Error handling and the recovery feature ensure that my job processes are not stopped if any error occurs.""Its monitoring and alerting features are what I found the most valuable.""It can centralize and support on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments seamlessly."

"Two features are valuable. One is Rocket Zeke's ability to integrate with the mainframe, which is the main processor using the agent. It works on any computer, so users don't have to wait. They can use their laptop or any other way to connect and securely access all the necessary information. The other valuable feature is automation, which is an integral part of batch processing."

Cons
"Having a graphical user interface for the dashboard would be great.""It lacks some of the common reporting features. I'm a bit surprised that there aren't some standard reports to be able to extract any data on usage. They've described to us that customers have different reporting needs, so they let them develop those, but reporting is a common need. It would be helpful to have it as part of the solution.""The job log has a size limit.""We need the ability to pull data into an Excel format.""Enhancing the user interface would make it more appealing to new users with limited technical knowledge.""Adding machine learning and AI capabilities would enable Redwood to automate more complex business processes and tasks.""Enhancing the user interface would make it more appealing and accessible to a wide range of users.""The product could be better in terms of its monitoring and alert service."

More Redwood RunMyJobs Cons →

"I work a lot with the support side when there are issues. I see a lot of confusion about the various licenses. The licensing model is somewhat complicated. The product license has to be installed. Sometimes, when a license is expiring and I need a new one, it's hard to understand where those licenses are in the guest support portal. I've discussed this with Rocket Zeke, and they've acknowledged that it's too complicated."

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."

  • "I don't make purchasing decisions, but the decision-makers tell me they don't switch to other solutions because this one has the price they need. Pricing is part of their decision to stick with this product."
