JAMS is an efficient scheduler tool
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface (UI) is simple to use and has functions for every scenario. My favorite feature is the workflow since it keeps the task looking presentable while yet performing it effectively.
What do you dislike about the product?
It still requires improvement. I recently tried using the Parallel feature and discovered it had an issue after contacting your support team. I do, however, have a use case for that feature, but the bug has put it on hold right now. Additionally, I think this program has a lot of hidden functions that users aren't aware of, thus I think it needs a comprehensive manual that thoroughly explains each feature with examples.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
JAMS serves a number of functions for us, like starting and monitoring a schema load and checking to see if analytical tools are active. It's easy to maintain and has improved our business.

Outstanding Support !
What do you like best about the product?
The support team for JAMS is outstanding, honestly one of the best i've encountered in my professional career of over 22 years.
What do you dislike about the product?
JAMs could be more user friendly with a more intuitive UI and more tools to resolve job failures.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is automating jobs that would take human effort solving a great deal of time, money and reducing human error.
JAMS is a fantastic tool to automate tasks from file distribution to data extraction
What do you like best about the product?
JAMS is easy to use, flexible and versatil. We are using it for a multitude of different task, removing the human factor and increasing productivity,
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish JAMS would have user training videos on platforms like YouTube or LinkedIn Learning
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
JAMS processes and distributes data feeds and reports for customers, 3rd parties and internal departments. All that work used to be done by hand and took days to complete, constantly violating SLAs and company goals. With JAMS those processes are now fully automated and can be completed without raising a finger.
Good schedule tool with high flexibility for batch job automation
What do you like best about the product?
The sequence design is very good to implement batch jobs with dependency, running in a serial or parallel way. This saves time and smoothes batch operations in a complicated environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
Ftp file transferring is not supported between agents, especially across platforms. Besides, it will be better if JAMS has an agent (not agentx using ssh) for UNIX/Linux servers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
User authentication when using login web console. Though web console is not a suggested way to manage batch jobs, it is an optional way or standby to fulfill the tool's basic functions.
Does what it says and does it well
What do you like best about the product?
Simple to use and works without requiring advanced knowledge of the product.
What do you dislike about the product?
That i can not use it for more in my environment
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has automated many manual processes and allowed us to reduce reliance on staff to complete processes. It has also sped up processes due to allowing us to reschedule jobs to non business hours.
Universal Job Scheduler
What do you like best about the product?
JAMS Enterprise Job Scheduler provides a great interface to schedule a Job and there is no other tool that i can think as a replacement of this JAMS Scheduler. There is a option we can send the App and email notifications for each job.
The Customer Support Team is very responsive.
The Customer Support Team is very responsive.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are no major dislikes the only suggestion which i would like to provide is that we should have a way to access the application on public IP. Currently it is deployed on server and many times it gets bottleneck for the team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can schedule different Jobs in our Staging, Test, Beta and Prod environments, We are able to export everything in JSON and other formats and can modify as per our requirement.
Tool is good and easy for users to understand
What do you like best about the product?
Easy navigation to required actions and workflows Configuration - good support.
What do you dislike about the product?
No documentation on REST API examples in JAVA/python/poweshell , covering all endpoints
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Manging the shedule taks, and configuring large work flow, good reporting tool.
Enterprise Scheduling Powerhouse
What do you like best about the product?
Drag and drop modules and tasks make scheduling complex jobs a breeze. Integrations such as File Transfer Protocol, PGP encryption/decryption, and compression tools are all the great features and add significant value.
What do you dislike about the product?
Desktop client is resource-heavy and more work is needed to make web-client more useful. I would also like to see full-feature set become available for Unix agents. Documentation also needs improvements which is behind competition.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
JAMS is our replacing our old primary batch scheduling software and with its powershell based CLI, we can now integrate it with our devops pipelines. Takes a lot of manual efforts out.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
One of the best Windows based enterprise scheduler
Senior System Administrator
What do you like best about the product?
Central repositry to manage entire infrastructre jobs and multiple executions supported.
What do you dislike about the product?
Additional cost for Add-On products cost a litlle extra
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automating the environment and monitoring via report feature.
It's great if you need something that'll defer your scheduled run if it falls on weekend
What do you like best about the product?
Weekend deference of scheduled runs to Monday
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes for unknown reason (and they've debugged this many times to no avail), your job won't run completely and Monitor will show that it's way more than 100% complete.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Windows Task Scheduler can't figure out and avoid weekend runs
