I love the product
What do you like best about the product?
The Dependency Based Scheduling really makes our data integrations work well.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't know of any. I love the way jobs stop based on dependencies and allow us to resolve issues with our batch processes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IT manages our batch scheduling and does so in a way that allows technicians to push jobs through with low code/ no code

Set it to run and get it off your mind!
What do you like best about the product?
You can set it and forget it and it will alert you if action is taken.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to have more options with dashboards for viewing status.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Too few IT workers and JAMS is a fource multiplier for us.
The best of the options out there, but overall, not ideal
What do you like best about the product?
Does it's basic job well, fairly easy to use. Pricing is high for what it is, but not nearly as bad as some of the competitors.
What do you dislike about the product?
Fortra seems to be just milking the JAMS licensing fees. The technology is very old and there are numerous features (some fairly trivial) and non-critical bugs that should be implemented or fixed that Fortra does not seem inclined to fix. They are happy to take ticket for the bug or feature, but will not commit to fixing any of them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Unified job scheduler. It replaced windows task scheduler and other piece meal scheduling.
JAMS is our most important automation solution
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, in our field of work date ranges vary greatly, JAMS' capacity to understand natural languaje expressions and convert them to valid date values has solved an enourmous amount of issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I would improve is the availability of resources to learn more about all the tool's functions. We know we have only scratched the surface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We produce and deliver a multitude of customer data reports, to our clients and 3rd parties. All these reports were done manually for years until JAMS came into the picture. We have used the scheduler to automate those processes, and also to transfer information to customers, connect to remote servers, check the quality of the information, and distribute notifications when something goes wrong.
The Very Best in Automation
What do you like best about the product?
JAMS enables us to easily automate all aspects of our business.
What do you dislike about the product?
We haven't found anything to dislike about the scheduler aside from upgrading to the new version being more involved than we'd like it to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
JAMS is a swiss army for us, solving everything from file transfers to database automation. This allows us to focus on the core development rather than the details of execution, automation and workload.
JAMS consolidates job schedules well
What do you like best about the product?
ability to integrate multiple systems together
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost to run dev systems has been too much.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
bringing multiple systems together, the ability to schedule across platforms
Making our OPS run smoothly!
What do you like best about the product?
The notifications that occur when a job fails and the knowledge that it is continually testing is re assuring.
What do you dislike about the product?
The syntax changes in migrating to the latest version. I see the benefits of the changes but it is a little painful to have to change so many of our jobs to meat the new syntax.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enables us to know that all of our automation scripts run to completion and alerts us in multiple modes when a task failes or does not go to completion.
Using the JAMS scheduler is easy and is powerful
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using JAMS for about 8 years. Mostly my jobs consist of PowerShell jobs, and they allow for parameters to be used so I can make common functions and create jobs quickly. It allows me to do a lot of specialized jobs for my customers. Their support is excellent, and they get back to you in a reasonable amount of time.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am using JAMS 6.x and have not had any problems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use it to do a variety of things from FTP, moving files and pulling data from a database without having to wright a C# program
Jams review
What do you like best about the product?
Aesthetic interface that is well organized and easy to use on the surface.
What do you dislike about the product?
Jams is either really easy to use or very difficult. Sometimes jams support is needed for non basic tasks. The tech is a bit outdated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automation
An overall excellent and robust automation tool
What do you like best about the product?
JAMS has plenty of features to allow users of different skills to accomplish what they need. I specifically enjoy JAMS's PowerShell snap-in that allow me to run JAMS commands through PS scripts.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's several odd issues with the Monitor (jobs not clearing away) and being unable to batch export jobs is a shame. Having to manually edit job paths instead of using parameters is dearly needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows great flexibility in running jobs, either on a timer, on triggers or by parsing emails for phrases. It gives us many options which are always needed.
