JAMS vs. Travis CI

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.

TravisCI is suited for workflows involving typical software development but unfortunately I think the software needs more improvement to be up to date with current development systems and TravisCI hasn't been improving much in that space in terms of integrations.

• 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.

• It is very simple to configure a range of environment versions and settings in a simple YAML file.
• It integrates very well with Github, Bitbucket, or a private Git repo.
• The Travis CI portal beautifully shows you your history and console logs. Everything is presented in a very clear and intuitive interface.

• 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 think they could have a cheaper personal plan. I'd love to use Travis on personal projects, but I don't want to publish them nor I can pay $69 a month for personal projects that I don't want to be open source.
• There is no interface for configuring repos on Travis CI, you have to do it via a file in the repo. This make configuration very flexible, but also makes it harder for simpler projects and for small tweaks in the configuration.

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.

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.

TravisCI hasn't had much changes made to its software and has thus fallen behind compared to many other CI/CD applications out there. I can only give it a 5 because it does what it is supposed to do but lacks product innovation.

We didnt really encounter any downtime, no issues encountered during 2 years of use of JAMs also our client barely raise an issue with JAMS, mostly the issues is on the batch jobs that jams executes. So I would gave it a perfect 10, very reliable hardly encounters any error and bug

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

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!

After the private equity firm had bought this company the innovation and support has really gone downhill a lot. I am not a fan that they have gutted the software trying to make money from it and put innovation and product development second.

People that were involved in the POC found the training a lot easier to follow. I think most people would have preferred to just get the training material and run through themselves.

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.

Jenkins is much more complicated to configure and start using. Although, one you have done that, it's extremely powerful and full of features. Maybe many more than Travis CI. As per TeamCity, I would never go back to using it. It's also complicated to configure but it is not worth the trouble. Codeship supports integration with GitHub, GitLab and BitBucket. I've only used it briefly, but it seems to be a nice tool.

i didnt have any involvement in the sales process, however we purchased the product so it had to be decent.

The product is quite flexible. There are a number of features and functions that we use on a daily basis, and there are many features that are available that we have not yet needed or explored (like setting up jobs with the ability to do FTP or Sftp file transfers).

• 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.

• It's improved my ability to deliver working code, increasing my development velocity.
• It increases confidence that your own work (and those of external contributors) does not have any obvious bugs, provided you have sufficient test coverage.
• It helps to ensure consistent standards across a team (you can integrate process elements like "go lint" and other style checks as part of your build).
• It's zero-cost for public/open source projects, so the only investment is a few minutes setting up a build configuration file (hence the return is very high).
• The .travis.yml file is a great way for onboarding new developers, since it shows how to bootstrap a build environment and run a build "from scratch".
