Always prompt and professional support
What do you like best about the product?
The best part about JAMS is the support staff. They are very prompt, usually replying to the initial request within 1 hour. They are extremely helpful and friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Still fairly new to JAMS Scheduler, but so far all my questions/issues have been resolved within 2 hours - I have no complaints about the excellent support I have received.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Increasing automation.
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.
JAMS is a great tool for the management and automation of batch jobs. It is very straightforward
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to use Powershell scripts to run about anything and to create workflows for automating business processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The history length of running jobs could be longer
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It manages all of our production jobs in one place and has built in alerting that is advanced and allows us to see issues quickly
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great tool for automation and management
We consolidated 5-6 different Windows task scheduler servers in JAMS Scheduler.
What do you like best about the product?
Central management and HA. It is a better enterprise level product which provide secure access across various teams, centralize management, and single tool runs across multiple environments.
What do you dislike about the product?
With hundreds of jobs under multiple folders and sub folders, I think it would have been better if we had a search feature to find a jobs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are running SFTP file transfers, batch jobs, file based file sync between folders etc.
We have been using this for scheduling about thousands of feeds on our live environment.
What do you like best about the product?
The best part is to have a group supporting the enterprise wise scheduling engine should we run into any issues, rather that us figuring out and owing the problem.
What do you dislike about the product?
We did experience issues with the auto submit of the job involving recurrences which the JAMS Support has been helping us fix.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can schedule thousand's of job seamlessly and have a 24* 7 support available should we run into any issues.
A great universal scheduler
What do you like best about the product?
I can have all sorts of things scheduled in one place. SQL, SSIS, Powershell, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish their website had a more robust user community.
I wish it interfaced with AWS a little easier, but AWS is a PITA anyway.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're able to keep all our scheduled tasks for our company in one location.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Their support is amazing, take advantage of it when starting out. They'll give you lots of great ideas.
Excellent support given by Gennaro Piccolo of JAMS Support
What do you like best about the product?
Prompt reply and advise given by Gennaro Piccolo within 10 minutes of posting my request/inquiry
What do you dislike about the product?
None, only positive feedback as far as I am concerned
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am just checking if there will be issues in installing/activating Carbon Black Protect on JAMS servers. Viva Energy is currently whitelisting all currently installed applications on each system and are asking application vendors to provide any information regarding exceptions that may be required.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The best job scheduler I have used even better than Control-M because it caters for the use of PowerShell, SSIS, JDE, SAP, etc.
Moving to JAMS from AUTOSYS a no brainer
What do you like best about the product?
Enables self service , many features for the price
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the fact that there is no underlying Job Definition Language.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Compared to other schedulers, more easily adopted and use across the business, very easy to install, upgrade, delivery and secure. Upgrades included high value features like v7's web interface.
Gennaro didn't stop until we solved the SQL Server SSIS job error!
What do you like best about the product?
All the jobs will be in one place when we finish. And tech support is all important, and you've nailed it. The error I had was very strange, and required SQL Server permissions as well as running the command in the command line to debug. I am confident that if we have this response when it is still in test, I have no qualms about if we have a Production job issue.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've found nothing to dislike so far. Your tech support is very responsive and thorough. They don't stop until there is a resolution. And I was skeptical to trust they would help, but the response was really good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
How to schedule SQL Server SSIS jobs already created in SQL Server - run them on a central terminal server for JAMS.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Read the tips, but rest assured, tech support will help you with any errors. No matter how odd.
