Overall Satisfaction with JAMS

The N-tier application we use has jobs coming from multiple servers 24 hours a day. JAMS managees 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
Honestly, I would give a 10 if we needed the scalability, I am sure from my length use of the producty it wouldn't fail me.
I am giving support an 11, the turn around time is insane. At times I get a reply in minutes. The directions to fix are precise and easy to follow. They are personable and friendly and never treat me less than they would a fortune 500 company (which I am not one of).

Do you think JAMS delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with JAMS's feature set?

Yes

Did JAMS live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of JAMS go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy JAMS again?

Yes

The best environment is where you have lots of jobs from lots servers and need a history of detailed failures. Our web server, SQL server and App server all have applications that need scheduling. It wouldn't be necessary if you have a just a handful of jobs for which you can use task manager.
