Overall Satisfaction with JAMS

We have a central management of JAMS, but various teams use it. We connect to about 50 servers and run about 30,000 jobs a day. We use it to run jobs and workflows to automate scheduling and work management.

Pros

  • It allows for very complex workflows.
  • JAMS is very customizable, for times, emails, etc.
  • JAMS has an open database to build complex queries against jobs and history.
  • JAMS queue process allows us to pause groups of jobs at a time.

Cons

  • On complex jobs it might be challenging to find where in the flow a job is located.
  • JAMS security model is very robust but has troubles at times.
  • Because of robust configurations, some views (lists) are missing data, so it would be nice to have on it.
  • Great customer support.
  • JAMS has not had a limit for us in what we wanted to do or how many jobs to run.
  • JAMS is easy for new users to learn and use.
We had no issues in scaling.
They have the best customer support. Numerous times when we had trouble (e.g., CrowdStrike), they got on a call with us and stayed until we were working again.
We used to have Control-M but replaced it with JAMS for better features and cost.
