Product Details

What is JAMS?

JAMS is an enterprise job scheduling and workload automation solution that manages IT processes – from simple batch processes and scripts, to cross-platform workflows that integrate jobs running on multiple servers and business applications. JAMS enables users to define, schedule, execute and monitor jobs from a single centralized console.

JAMS can automate jobs on any platform - Windows, Linux, UNIX, IBM i, zOS, and OpenVMS and includes native application integrations to run jobs specific to databases, BI tools, and ERP systems. Its automation features enable users to run jobs on any schedule, as well as trigger off the completion of other events. JAMS centrally monitors the status of all jobs, provides notifications of failure (or success), and maintains a detailed audit trail and log of every execution.

JAMS helps enterprises eliminate the slack, security risks, and lack of visibility associated with trying to automate critical business processes with a jumble of homegrown, single-platform scheduling tools and scripts. Once jobs are centrally managed in JAMS, JAMS will manage cross-platform workflows to drive results.

A Key Part of Fortra (the new face of HelpSystems) JAMS is part of Fortra’s comprehensive portfolio. Fortra's goal is to simplify today’s complex business landscape by bringing complementary products together to solve problems in innovative ways. These integrated, scalable solutions address the many challenges businesses face in streamlining operations.

It can take a while to get an agent, but the support option isn't buried away from customers, and when you do get an agent, they have been pretty good at helping.

JAMS customer support has been helpful each time we contact them for assistance. The one area that I believe could be improved upon would be for their support documentation to include clear examples and/or recommendations regarding product functions and features - beyond a simple statement of what the feature is.

From go live in 2012 to current, issues submitted, even if low priority, and could wait, are usually responded to in a few hours, most have been resolved the same day, or over a few days with interactive help from them (low priority question like how do I do this). Example questions have been what order to restart services. What ports are used by JAMS for our IT Group to open up the firewall for. The few Production issues we had are always responded to in a timely manner, usually within 15 minutes or sooner, even overnight issues.

JAMS customer support is the best customer support team that I have ever engaged with regarding ANY software that I've ever used. Hands down, I have never seen a team of support professions that respond as quickly as JAMS support. Additionally, they will work with you to reach a resolution, whether it be a question of how to do something, or helping to answer questions related to functionality so that you're left w/ additional knowledge that ultimately opens doors for new ways in which to use the software.

We had a very aggressive timeline to look for a new batch job processor that is compatible with our new server that could help us maintain and improve our current data processing procedure. The JAMS support team was there to address our inquiries promptly. On average, their response times have been within 24 hours, ensuring that we receive assistance when we need it.

JAMS Support is one of the best in the recent times, I have been working with. Support team responds quickly and in case of any advise, they volunteer to join the call and provide different best practices. This is a tremendous help for our IT team when comparing the previous product we used. Appreciate the Support team.

Yes, they have been extremely helpful whenever I have called and connected with them, particularly in helping me figure out how encryption/decryption workflows work and solving even minor issues I couldn't find the answer to. Ian and Jeff have been very helpful with creating and troubleshooting workflows that are a pain to figure out because of security limitations (permissions, etc.).
