JAMS Reviews & Product Details

I find JAMS incredibly beneficial for automating and orchestrating tasks, providing us with a centralized location for all our automations, which significantly enhances our organizational capabilities. The API offered by JAMS is particularly handy, facilitating the integration of custom utilities, and is instrumental in automating auditing requests by providing detailed insights into job statuses, particularly in identifying failures. Moreover, the API setup process, along with the desktop client setup, is straightforward, enhancing its usability. I also appreciate the high-quality Postman documentation, which aids in utilizing these features efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface of JAMS is really bad and can be ambiguous, especially with dates and schedule times. It feels like an entry-level Java GUI project rather than a professional tool. I believe that a cleaner menu design would significantly improve the experience, such as hiding less important options from top-level interfaces to access only when needed, rather than every time the app is used.

JAMS simplifies the process of running and managing jobs across all our servers. Having everything visible in one place is especially helpful during busy periods. Setting up triggers based on time or specific events is straightforward, which means we don't have to create additional scripts. The logs are clear and consistently reliable, so when issues arise, I can quickly understand what happened without wasting time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the error messages are a bit complex, so it took trial and error to figure out what the job actually needs. The initial setup for certain integrations took longer than expected Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One feature I appreciate is the ability to view the history of jobs that have run across all environments. This makes it much easier to track and review past executions. Regarding SSIS, previously, when SSIS packages were scheduled as SQL Agent jobs, checking the job history would simply redirect us to the SSISDB Catalog. With SSISDirect, however, we now receive the log as part of the notification, and if the log is too large, we can conveniently access the execution log directly in the JAMS Desktop. Another aspect I find useful is the maintenance window. Once all jobs have been migrated to JAMS, you only need to set the maintenance window once, and you can be confident that no jobs will run until the window is lifted.

It looks like JAMS still has a lot of untapped potential. We haven't really looked at all it can do although we are positive that there's still more. But, what I dislike is, cannot move a job from one folder to another (when we reorganize) without losing the historical execution information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it very nice the way JAMS Enterprise Job Scheduler can manage multiple systems with complex dependencies chains. It has helped make it much easier to coordinate our nightly imports of financial data across a number of legacy applications. The fact that it is simple to subscribe to notices about job failures has likewise kept many late night emergency calls at bay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main functionality is solid, but the user interface in crafting custom scripts within the jobs is a bit old-fashioned and less user-friendly than I would like it to be. More easily accessible pre-built patterns of integration with cloud services would be helpful as well. A bit of treasure hunt Sometimes it seems like treasure hunt to find the exact log of a particular historical run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This product stands out for its reliability, user-friendly interface, and excellent customer support. I appreciate how dependable it is and how easy it is to navigate, which makes my experience much smoother. The customer support team is also very helpful and responsive.

I can't think of any major issues at the moment. It would be helpful if the client used fewer resources, but I understand that we do run many jobs throughout the day, which likely contributes to this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We’ve been using JAMS Scheduler for a while now, and it’s made a huge difference in how we handle our job scheduling and automation. What used to be a mess of scripts and manual processes is now streamlined, reliable, and easy to manage.

The interface is intuitive, and I love how we can manage jobs across different systems (JDE, Windows, Linux, SQL, etc.) all from one place. Setting up schedules and dependencies is straightforward, and we’ve been able to automate a lot of tasks that used to take up too much time.

One of the standout features is the alerting and error handling—it’s saved us more than once by catching issues before they become big problems. Plus, their support team is top-notch. Anytime we’ve had a question or needed help with setup, they’ve been quick and super helpful.

Overall, JAMS has saved us time, reduced errors, and given us peace of mind. If you're looking for a solid scheduling solution, I highly recommend giving it a try. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I dislike is that I didn't find it sooner! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the application handled concurrent report schedules without noticeable delays or system slowdowns. The logging and audit features enhance transparency, allowing administrators to trace issues quickly and maintain compliance with internal governance standards.

it is a powerful and dependable scheduling solution for organizations that rely on regular, accurate reporting. Its combination of automation, integration, and reliability makes it a strong addition to any enterprise reporting environment.

Support Team are very easy to reach out and solve any issues very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not have anything to dislike about Jams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We really like the fact that JAMS Enterprise Job Scheduler has the capability of dynamically adjusting our various server loads when we run simulations at peak times. It also schedules job execution wisely along real time resource availability without bottlenecks. Its extremely fine grained conditional logic also means our scientific workflows donot proceed to the next step before all the given data validation steps have passed.

To initially write the JAMS code to map what we are currently doing today in our manual scientific workflow was a considerable up-front investment in time. The systematic planning to translate each piece of exclusive data dependency and interaction with the system was challenging. We also discovered that that the job structure was highly nested, and could be better visualized in the monitoring dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

JAMS has its head in the clouds when it comes to the sheer number of different types of execute it can do natively and this saves us when it comes to our mixed environment. We can easily deal with python scripts in Linux servers, SQL jobs, and even some of the legacy VB processes, all of them occurring on top of a single console. We also do not spend a lot of setup time as our business grows as we are able to easily copy and edit the existing job templates to suit new needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Albeit functional, the default reporting interface could be improved to feature more modern visualization options that would give fast insights on operations. The problem is that onboarding new administrators also needs a much steeper learning curve than expected, with the commands more customizable settings and powerful nuances. Getting exceedingly precise event triggers in place using some newer cloud services can occasionally be a few steps more than we would like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

JAMS provides support for various execution methods and integrates well with third-party tools. It also delivers strong automation features and high availability capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

JAMS is not very intuitive and demands a considerable level of expertise to use effectively. Each time you upgrade to a new version, there are additional things to learn, which can make the process more challenging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
