I do prefer the manual aspect of JAMS, and once JAMS was setup the jobs and sequences run well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the past , the setup was a nightmare we were told going from UC4 to JAMS there would be a automatic way to pull over all the info and that was not able to happen. We do have people in or organization that are color blind and there is no way to change colors in JAMS. We need a forecast in JAMS, and The History tab of a job window should include jobs that are currently running.The History tab of a job window should include jobs that are currently running.

Add a refresh button so you don’t have to close and entirely re-open the window to see a new entry. This would help with requests for a bunch of small jobs in quick succession instead of tracking them all in the Monitor view.

We would like the JAMS emails to include the ServiceNow incident number if a ticket is created. Right now JAMS sends an email to ServiceNow to create a ticket and one to support without this number. Having the number would allow for an easier correlation between the systems.

The border colors of the jobs (red, green & yellow) are impossible for operators that are color-blind to see.

In the monitor view when a job is abended can we have a continue added to the list to skip it there from the list view

Search for use – to see exactly where a job sits in a sequence

In Advanced Search - add where the job lives in Job Definitions (full path)

Submit Job from Job Properties

Would like a better zoom Tool: When viewing in Sequence or complex job, anything other than 100% view is blurry.

In our old tool we had the ability to take a sequence or job and select a date and time in the future to see how that sequence or job will run on that date or time.

History does not seem to be keeping the correct amount of runs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

JAMS is easy to use. In our line of work, date ranges and due times can vary greatly, and its ability to understand natural-language expressions and convert them into valid date values has resolved an enormous number of issues for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recently, I’ve been trying to use the dashboards and reports available in JAMS, but I’m finding them difficult to understand and navigate. I did locate a guide, yet it quickly stopped matching what I could actually see in JAMS, which made it hard to follow and apply. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Running a growing gemstone business means we have tons of daily background tasks, like updating our live inventory and syncing orders. We used the JAMS Resident Engineer service to help us build out these automated jobs. I love that we could just bring in their expert for a few hours a month to work right alongside us. They knew exactly how to set things up fast, so my team didn't have to spend weeks learning the software from scratch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a bit frustrating that the monthly support hours do not roll over. If we buy the basic 40-hour plan but only use half of it because we are busy dealing with a big jewelry sale, we just lose that paid time. For a smaller business, having flexible hours that carry over to the next month would be much better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love this platform for its capability to scheduling of task efficiently. Its capability to automate workload improves the productivity of the organization. Monitoring can also be easily done in this platform which enables us to identify the progress of task and also look after the redundant task. The workflow of the task can be check easily in this platform from time to time. Frankly saying jobs can be easily launched which is really a good feature of this platform. Other than this Jobs can also be manually created, edited and submitted in this platform enhancing the functionality of this platform. The Audit trails can also be generated with a single click, this greatly enhance the accountability of this platform. One part which I felt that I should mention is that this platform allows creating mini apps for users with less technical experience, this allows to reduce complexity and improve performance while using this platform. This platform can also integrate with major other platform like SAP, IBM etc. I also have to admit that this platform have a user friendly interface and the onboarding process was easy too.

I love most part of this platform but I wish that that desktop application could work more flawlessly without any lag. I felt the lag mostly when I clicked the configuration tab. The platform can also be used more efficiently with some training given a little complexity for non technical users. Other than this I also feel that more work can be done to give a better user interface. An Active AI to actively assist user in the dashboard would really be helpful. The pricing of this platform may be made more moderate to better fit for small and medium enterprise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

JAMS acts as the central automation software for our most critical business automations and batch processes. I like how it reliably runs jobs on a schedule and offers great error handling and logging. The ability to securely reuse and share secrets across multiple scripts is very beneficial. It's more robust and flexible than task scheduler or cron jobs. I appreciate the observability and ease of building custom reporting using the built in APIs. The agent we installe on desktops works well, making the software convenient to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel like the web client's UI is clunky and not really usable. It could be the central hub for how people work with the software if it was better. But the fat client installed on desktops works well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

JAMS has made it so easy to manage workload automation over time. The scheduling engine is very solid, and I enjoy how easy it is to create job dependencies and watch everything within one place. Failed job notifications allow us to respond quickly, and the platform has freed up our team of having to watch so much every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No big issues for me. After setup has been done and ready to go then you don't have problems. Interface could do with being a little more current but I don't find the site to be problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how reliable JAMS is. Once something is set up, it just works. It allows me to schedule things like SQL queries to run on a schedule. For one critical report, I need to take a snapshot of a dataset every week on Monday at 6am, and I cannot do that without JAMS. The initial setup was quite simple for me because we have a team responsible for JAMS who set everything up and taught me how to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the settings in the version we use aren't as intuitive as I'd like. For example, my critical snapshot wasn't taken on two seemingly-random Mondays. It took me months to figure out that it was only set to run on workdays, meaning if Monday is a holiday, the automation won't run. I'm not even sure how JAMS determines if a Monday is a holiday, but it was not easy to figure out. I'd also like to run Python scripts through JAMS, which is possible, but my organization doesn't allow it, so I have to use PowerShell instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main benefit is how quickly and easily it automates mundane jobs, instead of us manually executing all our data processes we can just schedule and keep watch on one central console, being alerted if something doesn’t run successfully and being able to view our job history quickly we are able to confidently proceed with our daily reporting.

It works but can be confusing for new users. It takes a little while to learn how to use the advanced settings for things like the automatic configuration of software, hardware and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The highest praise I’ve received came from one of my clients, who told me he had called earlier and left a message with my secretary. I don’t have a secretary, but he didn’t notice the difference, which says a lot about JAMS. I really appreciate JAMS’s cross-platform capabilities for scheduling tasks and managing complex workflows, and it fits smoothly into the way I work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have nothing negative to say about JAMS; its performance has been truly incredible. It provided me with a personalized, comprehensive solution that covered all my needs, and it also gave us an approach we can adjust and modify as we continue using the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is very intuitive, which makes both implementation and migration straightforward. It gives me better visibility, control, and flexibility when managing complex programming tasks. I also appreciate that the restart options are granular enough that I don’t have to rerun the entire nightly process if only a single branch fails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have nothing bad to say about it. It perfectly suits our needs and helps us streamline repetitive tasks like data processing, report generation, and system integrations, while also reducing the risk of errors that can come with doing the same work over and over.
