Overall Satisfaction with JAMS
We use Jams for the Job Automation and Processing. The File processing and Data ingestion into our Database is very critical for the success of our business and some of these files we receive from Vendors is nightly and has to be processed in a Sequential order and has to be processed both On-prem and in the cloud. We have automated these processes using Jams Tool
- The WorkFlow Modules in Jams has helped tremendously with the Sequential processing of the files
- Multiple Execution options from Powervshell to SQL stored procedures to SSIS packages makes it easy for legacy code executions
- The Alert Notifications to page someone when a job failed is extremely useful
- We could definitely use some better import Export features coming from other tools especially Automate since both are owned now by the same company
- While submitting setups if you want to submit and select/Unselect only a few jobs a Select/Unselect all feature could be helpful
- We have had Positive Impact on Business operations and nightly operations to go smooth
- our Ingestion happens in a timely manner and having all the data imported and Reports ready and backups to be monitored and alerted of failures all have a net positive effect on our operations

We didn't buy premium support. Didn't feel the Need
Yes - We have been asked to upgrade to the next version for the Feature.
When we were upgrading from the older 6.x version to 7.x version and we were going different licensing style and it was an upgrade of the Servers, OS, JAMS and all and we ran into an issue and contacted support and was helped and shown a different way of managing, configuring.
