    Box
    I think Box is great for research teams or anyone that has a large number of files that need to be securely stored. Particularly in the case of social science research, where it is important to protect identifying data, Box is a great option. In cases where teams need a more reliable means for real-time collaboration, I would probably consider a different alternative

    JAMS Software
    There's probably better schedulers out there. JAMS is good for an on-premises/classic IT implementation. JAMS is well-suited for use cases such as collecting a file from a shared location and uploading it to an API, running scripts on servers, and handling middleware tasks that process files or data between handoffs across different locations. JAMS is best suited to environments
    with IT staff who can develop, test, implement, maintain, and troubleshoot
    scripts; it does not use natural language processing (so it requires in-depth
    knowledge of the scripting language in use), and it does not appear to offer
    native dashboarding or reporting that is easily accessible to all users.

    Pros
    Box
    • The main feature that I like the most in Box is that it makes collaboration seamless, workers can easily check the documents any time and make changes according to the needs.
    • Box manages and backs up all of your files on its cloud servers, and provides a very nice interface for creating, viewing, editing, and collaborating on the most commonly used file types (PDF, XLS, DOC, etc.).
    • Over the past few years, Box has built on top of its basic cloud storage management with a host of other tools, such as workflows, AI, monitoring, and analytics.
    • It is helping us to make good connections with clients and our workers themselves as to its syncing and viewing feature to all is very much helpful and easy to go.

    • JAMS works well to organize jobs into logical folders with unique permissions for each folder
    • JAMS makes it easy to set up alerts for job failures and other notifications
    • Setting up scheduling times with normal human wording, such as Weekdays, or 2nd Tuesday of the month, etc.

    Cons
    Box
    • The graphic design of the dashboard should be simpler and more tangible that can be changed to the liking of the Admin.
    • Sometimes there are some syncing issues in the background.
    • The product has very limited functionality in some areas which could be a bit frustrating at times.

    • Would love to see JAMS become a SaaS type of product instead of needing to be hosted by ourselves
    • having lots of jobs in the monitor area can lead to performance issues when running the client locally
    • dashboard and reporting tools could be more user friendly and provide more functionality to help monitoring teams spot recurring issues easily

    I like the security features and I like the website. It's easy to use and create and move things around as needed. The main reason for a lower rating is because the Box Sync app is just not a good program. It's a memory hog, it's slow, transfer speeds are slow, and it's not the most efficient route. If you have a large Box account and you need to get a computer up to speed on a large amount of data within Box, you are in for the long haul. Last time I had to do this, it took 3 days to sync all of the files and we are talking around 100 GB worth of data

    JAMS is a critical resource free up people to do other things and ensuring that processes and tasks are run consistently. We are also confident that procedures are run consistently and on time or as soon as the necessary data is available. With automated job failure notification, we are not required to check that jobs are running correctly.

    Usability
    Box
    Everything with Box is seamless. It can be integrated into virtually any other software or application. You can even get the app for your phone or tablet to work on the go. File syncing is so quick. The only reason I gave it a 9 is the issue I discussed earlier about the local file application rebooting and not continuing to sync files. Other than that, it's great!

    JAMS is very user friendly; you hardly need to do coding. The only thing that I would say a challenge is setting it up, but that's because you barely know the product yet and, in every processing, setting up is the difficult part. But once you've set it up and you are going to use it, you will really feel that it is worth to invest in this kind of software solution, it really does it job very well.

    The general operation and management of Box is very efficient, both when accessing the account, and when adding files, downloading or modifying any document directly. The web platform, mobile and desktop versions work really well and quickly, making all the work and process flow smoothly and without setbacks. So far I have not been able to observe any inconvenience

    JAMS performance is very great, there are no issues raised with the performance, it just like nothing happens on the job after integration it gives you this monitoring capability, no reports and bugs raised on the performance, we didnt do integration with other software only database and with use of JAMS agent to different servers

    Support Rating
    Box
    I found their support community lacking in clarity when I experienced a login issue. The error messaging was poor on my Box Sync application. I did not reach out to support staff for help, instead, I reasoned that I should try downloading the Box Sync application again and reinstall it. That fixed my issue, thankfully. I think a less computer-savvy user would've been much more frustrated.

    I've never had to wait more than a day for a response to any email queries submitted. We had a very positive experience using support hours during out migration process from v6 to v7. We've also recently had a weeklong group training course where all attendees were positive about the learning outcomes, a shoutout to Jose who did both the migration and the weeklong course!

    Be careful with settings. It is easy to get overwhelmed with updates. For example, you don’t want to be updated when doing historical data uploads. I recommend taking off notifications initially and then turn on post you have done your historical data upload.

    They are kind of the same. And both of them do their job as promised. But for company and project wise I think that Box slightly wins for some points. Which [makes him] win over Google Drive (don't forget that Google Drive is very easy to use and has a lot [of] nice features too).

    JAMS is WAY more advanced, it isn't a fair comparison. The history is easy to get through. It is easy to get alerts of complete to failed and with a log. Adding jobs is extremely easy that even my teammates who do not manange the software are able to set them up. With the new web component we are very excited for the future of JAMS advancements.

    • Box has been an only positive experience. It provides a seamless way for me and my team to collaborate on documents in such a way where we're not sending the document back/forth via email. It's a huge timesaver.
    • Box reduces the risk of sharing a sensitive document to the wrong person via email.
    • Box has provided a platform where my team can share notes in meetings - this has helped streamline and organize our meetings. Our meetings are more productive and actionable.

    • Our company depends on the JAMS Scheduler in executing a large number of SAP Jobs. In never having had a true Enterprise Scheduler such as JAMS before now, we are very happy with the results.
    • There a number of features in JAMS for setting up schedules and dependencies on other jobs. This helps our company achieve the necessary workflows for Job execution. This optimization saves on system resources and keeps Jobs flowing smoothly.
    • We are very happy that JAMS is a robust solution with High Availability. This is necessary for Enterprise products, to reduce downtime, which we have not had as a result. This feature definitely saves our company money by reducing or eliminating unexpected downtime.
