Overall Satisfaction with JAMS

We use JAMS to automate all those repetitive processes and tasks that manually would take hours of our admin's time. We also use JAMS in our file processing for things like FTP, internal file moves, data cleanup, etc so it's become vital to getting things done in our business. The more we use it, the most use cases we're able to discover as word gets out through the business.

Pros

  • JAMS works well to organize jobs into logical folders with unique permissions for each folder
  • JAMS makes it easy to set up alerts for job failures and other notifications
  • Setting up scheduling times with normal human wording, such as Weekdays, or 2nd Tuesday of the month, etc.

Cons

  • The ability to edit workflow jobs in the web console.
  • The ability to move a job from one folder to another vs copy/paste/delete.
  • Security inheritance could be improved on items outside of the Definitions area.
  • Being able to automate routine, repetitive, and mundane tasks has freed our admins up to focus on improving our environment and reduce task fatigue.
  • Being able to automate solutions for other departments has greatly enhanced their ability to accomplish their jobs and has eliminated the need to manually input or convert data to a usable format.
JAMS offers full scalability, allowing IT to add agents as needed and establish structured workspaces for different teams. This enhances the safety and security of operational processes.
I always get a response within a short period of time, that often has the exact solution immediately. Support is always willing to get on a teams call to review and work through problems and offer suggestions to improve what we're implementing.
JAMS fulfilled the same automation functionality at a far less cost and in a simplified licensing model.

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

It's currently one of the best of the lower entry cost options out there, as it currently is a set license cost, not based on the number of jobs executed. In the hands of a good script writer and users with workflow experience, it's a powerful tool to accomplish just about any process that you have a need to complete.
