Skeddly

Pros: Automating jobs in AWS is made easy with this tool.

Cons: Nothing. Never have any issues with it. Love it!

Pros: Skeddly is super easy to use, it's very intuitive; you can be up and running quickly and it just works. In 2+years we've never had an issue. The support is excellent, you don't get bogged down in 1st level support operators, you get answers right away.

Cons: Nothing to add here, we haven't come across any real detriments..

Pros: STOPT START in AWS WORKLOADS AND BACKUP PROCEDURES

Cons: AUTOMATION FOR ORACLE AND OTHER TYPES OFF METAL SOLUTIONS RUNNING VMWARE

Pros: Skeddly makes the management of repeated tasks in cloud services very easy to manage. Over the number of years, I have only experienced a few errors, and these are usually not on Skeddlys side. New features are implemented regularly.

Cons: Moving Jobs or credentials to other projects easily would be a good feature to help separate out stacks of jobs.

Pros: The ability flexibly adjust working hours of my EC2 instances.

Cons: Have no idea. It just do what I need and I like it.

Pros: It's easy to use and has really useful features.

Cons: It can be expensive if not planned correctly.

Pros: Easy to use, easy to implement, great customer service (very responsive).

Cons: No cons at the moment. Skeddly has made managing my AWS servers much easier.

Pros: simplicity, security, great customer support, quick to respond

Cons: Maybe some bits could be better explained.

Pros: Easy to use, good pricing, good support. Can't really ask for anything more!

Cons: none, this did exactly what I needed it to do.

Pros: It is reliable and easy to use Cheap easy to seat-up It is a real time saver Works reliably

Cons: Interface could be more graphical and easy to use

Pros: I recommend Skeddly to others because unless you have a lot of time to burn scripting, testing and monitoring TO NOT use a service like this is not worth most IT professionals time . . . at least mine. It just works and is simple to use and pennies to run.

Cons: None to date however my use has been mainly to automate backups. In the works is using it to reduce costs during low usage hours with a RD server farm.

Pros: It's easy to use and configure all my shedules.

Cons: If you filter tasks on tags, you need to make you selection again after changing a task. It would be easier that it remembers the selection.

Pros: That it automates that backup process of EC2 servers with just the right number of options. The price is affordable to small businesses like mine. Please keep it that way!

Cons: Nothing. I can't faulty it. Please keep up the good work!

Pros: Skeddly was easy to set up and configure. We use managed instances, and it's saved our bacon already.

Cons: Maybe if they had known in advance we would need backups, hacked our Amazon account, and set it all up for us. That would have saved us some headaches.

Pros: I had a very specific goal in mind when signing up for Skeddly. The UI was so simple to follow, I had everything set up exactly the way I wanted within minutes.

Cons: The free trial offer is a bit confusing. If you add any service that is not included in the free tier, your free tier services will stop running until you pay.

Pros: Simple to use. Awesome support. Delivers exactly what it promisses.

Cons: Nothing. Everything is Ok.

Pros: We use it in production and internal systems to automate some pipleline in AWS: backup, stop/start, ... There is no surprise with the software. It is doing 100% what it is supposed to do. No bug, easy to use, affordable price (pay per use), good support.

Cons: Nothing to report. We all like this tools in the company.

Pros: It is very simple to setup start of AWS EC2 instances as long as RDS snapshots. It works smoothly and reliably.

Cons: Setting up future dates where we don't want instances to start (holidays, ...) was not possible. It was added on 20th july after multiple requests.

Pros: So easy to define actions once you have linked it to your AWS account, and having multiple users for a Skeddly account is a great help too.

Cons: I would like to be able to one user identity which could access each of my client's Skeddly accounts, similar to the functionality in AWS which allows cross-account access.

Pros: It has been easy to use and very cost effective. You sort of just go in and set it and forget it. It supports MFA which is a good thing. Lots of other features which I hope to get to one of these days as well.

Cons: There are a few gui things which annoy me like having an edit button at the bottom of the page..so I have to scroll down to get to it which is often. But things like this are sort of trivial when it comes to the tool performing the task at hand which it does well.

Pros: I've used Skeddly for years, in 4 companies so far, whenever I've used AWS. It makes best practices easy to implement, including backups, disaster recovery, and cost control. The feature list seems to expand every few months, so the value keeps expanding without programming or effort on my part. The price is great -- no minimums, and very reasonable per-transaction billing. When scheduled tasks are run, notifications can be emailed on success or failure. I also appreciate the way that logs are maintained inside Skeddly, so I don't have to manage their preservation and access. While I could program these scheduled tasks myself, I much prefer having a tool that is developed and run independently. It's more reliable; and Skeddly's UI and documentation makes it much easier to delegate responsibility for it, compared to my own programs.

Cons: I haven't had any problems with Skeddly in my companies, but I can understand if other companies would prefer to keep these functions in-house. Skeddly is given a role in my AWS account which allows it to do its tasks, and this means that can get information about how my systems are organized. In addition, the log files that it preserves also reveal information about our configurations. It's obviously just a subset of what AWS already knows; but some companies could find it problematic.

Pros: I used Skeddly at my last company as well as my current company. It's simple interface and functionality help IT sleep at night, knowing Skeddly is always working for us. It's cheap!

Cons: One feature request is for Skeddly to look at our AMIs/Volumes/Snapshots, then to compare that to the AMIs running as EC2, and recommend deleting ones that are not used.
