I am not fond of the Web Client. I feel a lot of improvement can be made that can make it much better.

Excellent task scheduler with very responsive support.

What do you like best about the product?
Before JAMS we had a hodge podge of powershell scripts run by windows task scheduler strewn across our environment. With JAMS we were able to centralize our automation and maintenance tasks with built in Success/Failure notifications with logging.

The suite of Powershell cmdlets which allow querying the credential manager, import/export jobs and their respective scripts that enabled us to easily check our code into git, as well as the ability to transmit files via multiple file transfer protocols.

Another thing we love is the credential manager. This may be the biggest boon for us, securely managing passwords was a struggle for us beforehand.

Couldn't be happier with the product, it has solved a lot of headaches.

Support on the product has also been very helpful. There has not been an issue that they were not able to assist in solving. Their support staff are quick to respond and very courteous.
What do you dislike about the product?
There have been no downsides that we have experienced. JAMS has met our needs well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We gained the ability to centralize 100s of Powershell scripts into one location for ease of management. This has been invaluable.

I always get great support with immediate attention from the JAMS scheduling support teams.

What do you like best about the product?
The JAMS automation systems are very intuitive. All our system administrators and developers compliment how well it is to work with the systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only issue or concern I've had in the past is the slow install and larger-then-normal client installation. Over a gig storage is a bit hefty for a client interface. Hoping future SFTP frameworks are more fortified in the application so we can better transition off of WinSCP setups without so much programming. Other than that, no complaints.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Job data file transport is our primary tool along with how well it works with PowerShell customizations. There's almost nothing that can't be created thanks to the File-Trigger and dependency automation features running JAMS 7.
