"JAMS Scheduler - excellent job scheduler tool"

5/5

What do you like best about JAMS Scheduler?

We've had great success with the tool for about 8 years. We've been able to create any type of job or workflow that was needed. We've had some complex workflows with over 100 jobs in it. The database that manages the JAMS data is easy to understand and I often query it. It has great PowerShell APIs when we need to do bulk submissions. The Windows client is easy to use and helpful. The job configuration has a lot of options that we take advantage of (e.g. when most jobs finish, we only send emails on failures, but for a few jobs, we also send emails when the job succeeds.)

What do you dislike about JAMS Scheduler?

In complex workflows, when looking for a specific job, somethings it's bit difficult to find where in the workflow the job is located. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is JAMS Scheduler solving and how is that benefiting you?

We run about 30,000 jobs a day in JAMS, for various applications, on both Linux and Windows. It is easy to manage these jobs, and to fix and retry failed jobs. We had a recent unplanned outage, and because of how JAMS works, we were able to restart jobs in an organized fashion. With the database available for query, we often can find jobs that would otherwise be tough to find, e.g. which jobs that run on a certain server and run on a certain port for a certain client automatically run before 7:00 AM.
