Overall Satisfaction with JAMS
We use JAMS as a centralized scheduler to manage the scheduling of tasks, jobs, and processes for our Oracle and Microsoft databases and Windows server tasks. Having the schedules in JAMS allowed us to provide better visibility of the details of the processes to different teams and departments while still maintaining complete control of security and access to the individual jobs.
- The granular security model allows us complete control when defining access levels to the JAMS functions and features, as well as the individual folders and jobs we define within JAMS.
- There are many built-in features when it comes to defining job schedules. For instance, you can schedule a job to run at a specific time, on certain days of the week or month, based on the completion of another job, or on an interval, etc.
- The ability to define multiple notifications or alerts based on the success, failure, or exit code level of a job is very convenient.
- It would be very helpful if the application had the ability to display help text based on where the cursor is hovering on the screen. There are many times when a brief explanation of an on-screen prompt would be very handy. For example, when you attempt to Cancel a job from the Monitor, you are presented with the checkbox that says "Reprocess completion?" It would be very nice if you could hover over the prompt and see a pop-up help screen that explains what happens if you check this checkbox. The same applies to all the checkbox options presented when you attempt to "Release" a job from the Monitor.
- JAMS has allowed the business to respond quicker when there are issues with jobs. For example, with our integration to PagerDuty, appropriate parties can receive a call on their phone when there is an issue with a job - whether it's failing or just running longer than expected.
