Quick Jams feedback
- Integrates with PowerShell
- Can be called remotely
- Has stored credentials
- When setting up new jobs, what each option does is quite confusing as it can take a while to luck across it working sometimes.
- The online documentation for Jams needs to be considerably improved. I want to look up a field and know what it does, what input is expected, and what things to be careful of when submitting it.
- There needs to be much more done to provide in-application support documentation. The biggest problem my team has with it is frustration that they don't have the time to mess with why a job isn't running and they logically can't tell why.
- I job should never run and not show something in the monitor. If submit is clicked, the Monitor should say something helpful why it did or didn't run.

- It gives our users the ability to run tasks that are defined in scope the way we want.
- It gives central management of things so Task Scheduler doesn't run on every machine.
- Support has been pretty responsive.
- scheduling reboots
- performing certificate checks
- Running reports of API status calls
- rebooting servers
- checking certificate statuses
- getting server status reports
- I don't see an expanded use right now
- Product Features
- Implemented in-house
- I wasn't there.
- No Training
- Copying a PowerShell script in.
- The logs are pretty good.
- Calling a job from a web interface.
- Scheduling a job that has parameters
- Jobs sent to an agent renames the log file that was expected.
- If you copy a job to another folder, if something with that name is already there, it doesn't warn you, it just overwrites it.
- The online documentation is way too simple and optimistic, meaning if you have anything with any complexity at all, the documentation isn't helpful.
- We are still on an old version and afraid to upgrade because we don't know if that will break anything.
- Not sure, but it would be nice to be on the newest version.
Jams Software Review
- 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
