One disadvantage of JAMS Enterprise Job Scheduler is low flexibility and created complicated work processes if complicated work processes are created. Albeit simple, at first I struggled to understand how to setup a more elaborate schedule of different jobs. The reporting features are not very deep and I want they provide us deeper analysis from our job performance. Some restrictions are also set in customization for the particular business processes we need, and sometimes it can be quite un comfortable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've been using JAMS to streamline our job scheduling and automation processes, particularly in support of our E1 systems. In addition, we also use it to automate jobs in other integrated applications such as SQL. We hope to expand our usage of JAMS in the future. Highly recommended for teams looking to modernize and centralize their workload automation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside to me is the thick client desktop application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Filtering/Reporting capabilities are lacking. I would like the ability to filter/search for any jobs with a Parameter = x as one example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There can be nothing more satisfying than realizing that JAMS Enterprise Job Scheduler sort more complicated job schedules without requiring undue attention. This going some way towards reducing the amount of handling done manually and the subsequent amount of mistakes. The integration process is seamless when it’s used in conjunction with other enterprise solutions such as the ERP platforms which improves data input. The notification features are useful, ensuring that we will be seen job completion or any problem in the project, which is important for our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One disadvantage of implementing this JAMS Enterprise Job Scheduler is that familiarity to it might take time to learn for some team members who are usually acquainted with job scheduling software only. This leads to a long training process and leads to diversion of time from other activities. Moreover, the interface might be more friendly to the users and in some cases, it hampers our work when it is necessary to update, fix or change something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that JAMS Enterprise Job Scheduler supports tools such as SQL Server and PowerShell. This compatibility is essential to give effective control to the automation without the need for direct supervision. This is especially advantageous on the usability front as the homepage provides a straightforward way of scheduling jobs. Another important feature is that it is versatile – in small or large loads, JAMS does everything without any complaints and has become an important element of our work.

A disadvantage of JAMS Enterprise Job Scheduler is the unpredictability of customer support, which may take more time than estimated to address emerging problems. This has on occasion affected some of our projects as we were trying to determine and fine tune the use of the software. Finally, as with many other areas in the software, there is a large number of options available and it may be a little confusing at times to pinpoint exactly what you need.

One of the things I like much about JAMS Enterprise Job Scheduler is how well it can deal with huge volumes of tasks. It is here that automated functions of the software help us to manage challenging contrary to simple, repetitive schedules and thus, avoid making mistakes and extending time consuming manual operations. We have also thrown our focus to the reliability of the jobs as scheduled tasks run as planned and this has assisted us in minimizing on set back when it comes to our business operations.

The one negative of JAMS Enterprise Job Scheduler is that the reporting is limited. In fact, sometimes we need more details on job performance history and scheduling history to troubleshoot or audit. In such a case, the lack of deeper reporting options has made our team spend more time observing and analysing the data to track and analyze manually, which could slow us to solve the issue. With more comprehensive data options we would save time and increase our overall efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is intuitive, and easy to use. We mostly use it for data transfer with powershell. Job management is easy with plenty with configuration and schedule options available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how flexible JAMS Enterprise is to support a variety of jobs and workflows. And the drag and drop interface makes scheduling tasks easy, you can set up the most complex job dependencies without any trouble. Monitoring job statuses in real time also provides us with great visibility into our operations. This allows us to also know immediately if there is a problem so we can immediately act and prevent downtime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

JAMS Enterprise is powerful, but I did find the initial setup bit of a challenge. Setting it up to suit our needs took longer than I expected, and might scare new users. Additionally, the documentation is not so good, since some parts have little or no guidance. Finally, the licensing costs can get very expensive, especially for organizations with large numbers of users or complicated job requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favorite feature of JAMS Enterprise Job Scheduler is the in depth job tracking and reporting. That visibility into job statuses helps you as a team spot any issues you have when the job is running. I especially like the job status notification system, when a job fails or takes longer than expected, we’re alerted about it in real time. We no longer invest that much of our time in monitoring jobs manually, so we can better use the time on more strategic tasks. In general, it improves accountability and our operational efficiency.

The JAMS Enterprise Job Scheduler downside is that it uses a lot of resources in a very short space of time. While it does a great job of job scheduling, we’ve found that it can get CPU expensive managing many concurrent tasks. That can, occasionally, slow other applications on our servers running. Additionally, it can be difficult for those that are not familiar with job scheduling systems to teach the learning curve as a new user. Once in a while, this interrupts our team’s facility to adopt the software rapidly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
