Overall Satisfaction with JAMS

We determine and pay workers' compensation claims for government employees. JAMS is used to schedule the nightly claims processing tasks and refresh the Data Warehouse.

Pros

  • Runs a complex series of jobs in the correct order using dependencies.
  • Transfers files on and off-premises at scheduled times.
  • Alerts on-call staff of critical successes and failures, enabling restart.

Cons

  • An underlying Job Definition Language would be nice for source control and automation.
  • Enables simple tasks that require a high level of security to be end users' self-service.
  • The client is user-friendly and easily deployed, allowing people to check their own jobs.
  • Based on our previous "main frame" scheduler, the ROI > 100% pa.
Questions are responded to within an hour generally. I get the same analyst every time, like they are sitting in the next cubical!

JAMS has a small footprint, is quick and easy to install, populate with jobs and deploy to users, and includes a (working) Web Interface. This licensing is SME-friendly (good value) based on a very practical metric, jobs run per day. It can allow unlimited agents machines which give huge flexibility.
