What do you like best about the product?
What makes JAMS Enterprise Job Scheduler interesting is its flexibility in automating processes of different complexity. Thanks to this we can design workflows that best suit our doings and it gracefully integrates with the other systems, like our ERP software, everything remains in place. Ease of use combined with this powerful automation has made our scheduling and task management a lot more efficient, freeing us up more time to do bigger things, not to mention allowing us to play with more fun features.
What do you dislike about the product?
One disadvantage of JAMS Enterprise Job Scheduler is low flexibility and created complicated work processes if complicated work processes are created. Albeit simple, at first I struggled to understand how to setup a more elaborate schedule of different jobs. The reporting features are not very deep and I want they provide us deeper analysis from our job performance. Some restrictions are also set in customization for the particular business processes we need, and sometimes it can be quite un comfortable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using the JAMS Enterprise Job Scheduler has solved the problem of manually scheduling a myriad of tasks on various systems to run together at the right time. Through automating drilling schedules we’ve cut down on human error, and saved time spent scheduling drilling. Our operations are far more reliable because the software makes sure that processes run at the right time and in the right order. Most importantly it tends to reduce bottlenecks and speed up workflows in our daily routine.

What do you like best about the product?
There can be nothing more satisfying than realizing that JAMS Enterprise Job Scheduler sort more complicated job schedules without requiring undue attention. This going some way towards reducing the amount of handling done manually and the subsequent amount of mistakes. The integration process is seamless when it’s used in conjunction with other enterprise solutions such as the ERP platforms which improves data input. The notification features are useful, ensuring that we will be seen job completion or any problem in the project, which is important for our team.
What do you dislike about the product?
One disadvantage of implementing this JAMS Enterprise Job Scheduler is that familiarity to it might take time to learn for some team members who are usually acquainted with job scheduling software only. This leads to a long training process and leads to diversion of time from other activities. Moreover, the interface might be more friendly to the users and in some cases, it hampers our work when it is necessary to update, fix or change something.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
JAMS Enterprise Job Scheduler has helped us manage our workflow by taking some of the tedious scheduling work out of our hands. It has made things run smoother and jobs get done on time. Centralized job monitoring and logs provide us with detailed information when things go wrong so that we can quickly diagnose and fix those things, reducing disruptions and increasing productivity. That is better for our IT team because we have a more reliable, predictable job scheduling system.

What do you like best about the product?
I like that JAMS Enterprise Job Scheduler supports tools such as SQL Server and PowerShell. This compatibility is essential to give effective control to the automation without the need for direct supervision. This is especially advantageous on the usability front as the homepage provides a straightforward way of scheduling jobs. Another important feature is that it is versatile – in small or large loads, JAMS does everything without any complaints and has become an important element of our work.
What do you dislike about the product?
A disadvantage of JAMS Enterprise Job Scheduler is the unpredictability of customer support, which may take more time than estimated to address emerging problems. This has on occasion affected some of our projects as we were trying to determine and fine tune the use of the software. Finally, as with many other areas in the software, there is a large number of options available and it may be a little confusing at times to pinpoint exactly what you need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
JAMS Enterprise Job Scheduler also relieves problems associated with manual scheduling of jobs and the inconveniences typical for repetitive tasks. This way it means that these processes run on a continuous basis and that has been very helpful for us. Due to the simplicity of use and a large number of options, it became possible to allocate more time for the development of key competencies without wasting time on routine work. Consequently, we noted improvements in efficiency and, therefore, cannot imagine our work without JAMS.
