There are so many features with JAMS that no matter what crazy scenario you come up with JAMS can handle it. But the best part is the support team that will respond and help you with anything you need. These support team members should be the example for all other companies to live up to.

Nothing so far. JAMS is great. Would recommend to all

Everything we wanted in a JD Edwards Enterprise Job Scheduler and more

What do you like best about the product?
JAMS is very easy to user and works with all of our JD Edwards Instances. We also use it to automate all sorts of other tasks via Powershell, SQL Server, and Windows workflow scripting. JAMS has also been open and responds to enhancement requests to improve the tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't really anything that I would same that I dislike. Maybe improve or simplify configuring user security.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The original purpose of purchasing JAMS was to be able to control sequences of Jobs within JD Edwards and stop a sequence if one of the jobs in the sequence failed. This was very quickly realized and it saved hour and hours of time dealing with jobs and scheduling. It quickly solved that problem and
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very Straightforward job scheduling and a really top notch support team that is willing to help design solutions and solve problems.

Haven't found anything that I do not like so far

So simple, a caveman can do it.

What do you like best about the product?
Over the years I have had the opportunity to work with multiple automation tools. JAMS is by far the easiest to date to implement and work with. The interface is well thought out and provides us with many options to carry out the remote tasks we are trying to automate.

JAMS support is responsive and extremely helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really don't know if the qualifies as a dislike, but to be honest I had real reservations at first about recommending this software solution to my organization
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using JAMS to automate our reoccurring business processes to streamline the business as part of our EA practice. The goal here is to improve service to the business, document the process, and improve consistency.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The JAMS automation software truly is amazing and well worth the investment. I have worked with at least two of the "Big Name" solutions as well as a few of the open-source tools out there and JAMS really does put them to shame. When I download the trial software, I had it installed and running a simple scheduled task in less than 30 min. Don't let the simplicity fool you, this tool is a complete solution and has integration with most of the major ERP solutions on the market. We deployed JAMS on-prem and have the ability to run 1000 scheduled jobs a day.

JAMS Enterprise Job Scheduler: Great Product. Great Tool. Great Support.

  • February 14, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
JAMS is very easy to use. JAMS is very reliable. JAMS Support is top-notch.
What do you dislike about the product?
The ability to gather historical info across timelines for multiple jobs and workflows could be improved. Reporting takes some getting used to and more canned reports would be beneficial. It would be nice to have some way to document workflow design and search for jobs within workflows with more ease.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
JAMS runs most of the automated processes here at Red Lobster. It is a very powerful tool. We run over 20K jobs per day, and our servers remain under-utilized. In other words, the system is incredibly robust and we have not seen any limit to its potential. You are only limited by your imagination when it comes to automation with JAMS.

JAMS helped us simplify our scheduling needs!

What do you like best about the product?
The support of MVPSI has been my favorite feature, they are extremely helpful and knowledgeable.
I also enjoy the projected schedule feature as it allows us to accurately forecast certain maintenance activities arounded important scheduling times.
What do you dislike about the product?
I feel updates are required more often than I would like but its a minor issue. The Web UI does not seem to perform as well as the thick client and most of our users prefer the web client.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have centralized all of our scheduled/batch processing tasks across 150+ servers into one server and a handful of agents.

We have completely rebuilt our batch processing systems with JAMS in mind as the backbone of our new back-end applications.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Determine how many concurrent jobs you will need running as that will play a big role in your licensing cost.

JAMS completely changed the way we worked

  • February 12, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that it centralised all of our jobs across different enterprise applications and sources in one place.
Audit questions became simple with a total change control structure in place

And job creation became much simpler using basic generic jobs which we could re-use over and over again.
It also makes it easy to segregate our production environment from Developers

Their support is also amazing
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't any cloud automation available yet
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We run all our SQL, Powershell, SFTP and Trading system automation using this tool
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get on it

I have used Tidal and DollarUniverse and this is by far the best

Give the control back to users

  • November 18, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The possibility of cutting jobs into reusable unitary steps is a great time saving.
Resuming a job at the step where he stopped, without having to to re-execute it in its entirety.
The support perfectly masters the product.
What do you dislike about the product?
The documentation is the poor relation of the solution, fortunately, the support is present.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can group all our jobs in a control tower and give back to our users, unlike what we did until now with sql jobs or windows tasks scheduler.

JAMS has saved us time and their support is GREAT!

  • November 15, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We like the fact that repetitive jobs that used to take hours of time for setup each and every day can now be set up in JAMS and run daily, thus saving many hours of work that can now be devoted to other, more important purposes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside, and this is on us, not them, is that if you don't set it up properly, or no one is keeping a daily eye on it, things can happen and jobs not fully run (as happened with us recently) and nobody is aware!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have used JAMS to schedule daily jobs, file transfers, and combinations of jobs and transfers to automatically update files, create output that can then be transported to other servers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do your homework and know what you want. Get consensus and have a project plan in place to implement. It will make things go much smoother.
