Overall Satisfaction with JAMS
The N-tier application we use has jobs coming from multiple servers 24 hours a day. JAMS manages all of those and allows us to set alerts, to set automatic retires and send notifications. The history is fantasic way to get a quick view of what failed over the day without checking every job. There are so many funtionalities we have yet to use, such as running sql jobs or CMD scripts. Fantasic product, highly recommended.
Pros
- history
- alerts
- auto-resubmits
Cons
- a wizard for setting up jobs
- a folder with the failed job notifications, easy to find
- an easier way to set web interface (back to the wizard)
- a set of video walk throughs with examples for each type of scheduling
- The ROI is unquestionable, I cannot imagine life without it
- Reliability is top notch, haven't seen it crash in 15 years of use
- As for resources, it has a small footprint on the server
JAMS is WAY more advanced, it isn't a fair comparison. The history is easy to get through. It is easy to get alerts of complete to failed and with a log. Adding jobs is extremely easy that even my teammates who do not manange the software are able to set them up. With the new web component we are very excited for the future of JAMS advancements.

JAMS Support
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
Quick Resolution Good followup Knowledgeable team Problems get solved Kept well informed No escalation required Immediate help available Support understands my problem Support cares about my success Quick Initial Response | None |
The support is second to none. The response from support feels instantaneous compared to other product support maintenance plans.
Simply. I had to setup a job from a 3rd party vendor. It had nothing to do with my direct business or JAMS software. I added a "how do I do this.." ticket and support helped without blinking. FANTASTIC.
