Broadcom Workload Automation Comparisons

Redwood Software Beats Broadcom Where It Matters

“We're a large enterprise customer and we're looking at about a 300% price increase." Broadcom customer

Many Broadcom customers have expressed to Redwood that they are upset due to significant changes in pricing, licensing and support. These changes have led to substantial cost increases and concerns about support quality. Customer dissatisfaction is now spilling over into other Broadcom product lines, including AutoSys, Automic and other automation products. IT professionals must consider several key factors to ensure the solution meets their organization's needs. RunMyJobs is a true SaaS-native solution built for hybrid cloud, with deep SAP alignment, real-time orchestration and intuitive, self-service automation.

Broadcom Automic (UC4)

Usage-based licensing based on job executions; unlimited connectors, services, applications and agents

Licensing based on the number of managed endpoints (e.g., SAP instances, OS nodes, database/web agents)

In-house professional services; 24/7 product support; role-based training courses and a certification program

Users report slow support due to divided attention across products, which limits cloud-readiness

Customer Support

and Success

Premium certified SAP Endorsed App; RISE with SAP. Deep integration with S/4HANA, BTP, BDC, etc.; 1,000+ SAP templates

SAP-certified but requires custom work for deep integration

AI-driven observability through Redwood Insights; predictive SLA management

Automation Analytics and Intelligence (AAI) for predictive analytics, visualization and workload analytics

AI and Machine

Learning Capabilities

Built for cloud-native and hybrid environments; SaaS delivery; agentless platform

SaaS offering is very new (launched May 2024) and unproven

Intuitive modern user interface; low-code visual process designer; reusable and built-in templates

Complex UI and process logic; scripting-heavy and highly IT-dependent; non-business users friendly

Fully managed by Redwood as a SaaS solution; zero-downtime upgrades; no customer effort or resource planning needed

Highly complex, effort-intensive upgrades due to extensive scripting, deep customization and largely manual processes

Full stack orchestration across cloud, on-prem and legacy; supports 25+ scripting languages; advanced event-driven scheduling

Strong orchestration across cloud, on-prem, mainframe; AAI for cross-scheduler dependencies; good event-driven support

Cross-System Orchestration and Event Scheduling

Built-in high availability architecture and disaster recovery; no infrastructure to manage; handled by Redwood

Difficult to deliver high uptime with disaster recovery and high availability because of the size of the system

High Availability and Disaster Recovery

Wide range of native connectors (SAP, Oracle, ETL, iPaaS, ITOM, ITSM, MFT, mainframe, etc.); open REST API

Rich set of integrations for ERP, cloud services and data pipeline tools; none for SAP S/4HANA and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
