Automation has transformed SAP job scheduling and now saves time with flexible triggers and workflows
Reviewed on Jun 08, 2026
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
Stonebranch is used for workload automation, and we are mainly using it for running background jobs for SAP systems and other connected satellite systems such as access.
We have automated several processes with the help of Stonebranch, such as system shutdowns. Once you install the agent on the server, you can create UNIX jobs with shell scripting or something that has been secured and encrypted in Stonebranch itself, and it will perform the task.
We have programs available in SAP systems that run there, but at the same time, we have created a schedule for transport movement in the SAP system, such as making changes and moving them from the development or quality system to production through a workflow. This workflow gets triggered on time, takes the action, and completes it. This represents the biggest automation we have seen; previously, we had to spend considerable time, but because of this workflow, it helps us save time.
What is most valuable?
Stonebranch calendars and triggers are quite flexible, and we can create those very easily. The GUI is also a significant advantage. Compared to other tools such as CA Workload Automation or Autosys from Broadcom, which was entirely backend-based at the UNIX level with scripting, Stonebranch allows you to see how jobs have been created and what different fields and options are available, which were unavailable with those tools.
Real-time analytics in Stonebranch are available from the current statuses of the jobs. However, we are disappointed with the reports. Because it is a SaaS-based platform, we cannot perform different joins if we want data from different tables; we have to ask Stonebranch to create something and provide it to us. This is a vendor support issue because, being a SaaS-based platform, we do not have access to the databases, so if we want to obtain reports, we need to request multiple reports and do it one at a time.
Regarding compliance and security features in workload automation, I have worked with them in Stonebranch. I went through the audit feature where we are able to see what kind of actions and everything in detail; it was already available, and there are various audit tabs as well, which provide us with information about which audit tab this particular log belongs to.
What needs improvement?
Stonebranch reports have been disappointing, and I would appreciate it if they could have features where various tables of the database could be joined and provide the report, which can be pulled and shared across.
For how long have I used the solution?
It has been almost four years since I have been working with Stonebranch.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
From one to ten, I would rate the stability of Stonebranch as seven, and the three I am deducting are just because of the reports.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I would rate the scalability for Stonebranch as nine, referring to its ability to scale and expand.
How are customer service and support?
For technical support, I can say it is almost eight; they are providing good support.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Stonebranch can be compared with products such as BMC, JAMS, and Redwood, as we have experience with those options.
Among the three, Stonebranch was the best product for us, and that is why we selected it.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup for Stonebranch was simple; we got support from the vendor to shift things from the earlier tool, so it was a good experience.
What about the implementation team?
We are using Stonebranch right now.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I would rate the pricing for the product between six to seven, considering one is high and ten is low.
What other advice do I have?
Integration with third parties for Stonebranch is easy; with the REST API itself, it can be done, so it is quite open to integrate with other tools as well. I would give Stonebranch a final rating of eight overall. I would definitely recommend Stonebranch to other users.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Workflow automation has improved complex data transfers but still needs simpler pricing and setup
Reviewed on Apr 02, 2026
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
Currently, I only work with Stonebranch. We are partners of Stonebranch, as they are an OEM. I am from the technical team, so I have to understand what type of requirements they want in their environment. After analyzing all their requirements, I have to deploy the product. First, I have to understand their requirements, then I have to deploy that product in their server or environment. I configure all their required needs in the customer environment. As a member of the technical team, I have to first understand what type of data transfer they want, what type of protocol they need, and how many users want to share their data and files. After gathering information from the customer side, I estimate how much data they will transfer in one year. After understanding that, we have to get a task-based subscription from Stonebranch after analyzing the requirements from the customer side.
What is most valuable?
Stonebranch installation has improved significantly. They recently changed the product, and I can say they improved it by about 50 percent. Now, we have to go into GoAnywhere MFT and we can set up by interface, and we need to select any option if we want to transfer any files or any data between two users. We just follow instructions, and it is so simple and easy to use. However, in Stonebranch, they previously made it very difficult. We first had to configure SFTP, meaning we needed to use a protocol such as FTPS, SFTP, or HTTPS. First, we had to choose which type of protocol we wanted to go through. After choosing, we had to make configurations between those SFTP points.
If I compare GoAnywhere MFT with Stonebranch, after the installation part, for end users, Stonebranch is more complicated to configure. However, because it is complicated, it means they provided more features and a broader way of use for Stonebranch. They provide many types of components, features, and protocols, so it is more complicated. It does not mean it is difficult to use; it is complicated. Not anyone can understand it; only a technical person can understand which type of product they are providing.
What needs improvement?
Stonebranch is more expensive compared with GoAnywhere MFT because they provide many types of services, protocols, and broader features in their product. In a pricing scenario, they provide a task-based subscription. In GoAnywhere, we just have to pay for a one-year subscription for working. We can install many users in our MFT, meaning we can use many types of data to transfer from one side to another. There is no restriction. However, in Stonebranch, pricing matters are based per task. One file sent from one location to another means one task is completed. We have to calculate what our customer, based on their requirements, how many tasks they will do. After understanding this, we had to give it based on their requirements. Stonebranch works task-based, and they give subscriptions based on tasks.
Maintenance is required from Stonebranch. Stonebranch requires maintenance because they also provide upgrades, and there is also a case where support must be needed. Maintenance is provided by Stonebranch. Maintenance is needed from Stonebranch's side product because of upgrades, any new requirements from the customer side, and any new versioning or changes from Stonebranch also require maintenance. Maintenance is required from both Stonebranch's side and the customer side as well.
For how long have I used the solution?
As of right now, I only work with Stonebranch.
How are customer service and support?
For support, as compared with GoAnywhere, Stonebranch is more supportive because they respond quickly. They provide very quick support and guidance. For example, if we have to understand any type of feature in Stonebranch environment, we just raise a case to Stonebranch support team. Then within one or two days, someone will come from Stonebranch side, and that person will give every detailed explanation of what we want to understand. They provide a very quick response from their side.
What other advice do I have?
Stonebranch is workload automation software. I would give them a score of 7.5 out of ten compared with GoAnywhere because it is more complicated to set up and configure.
