What do you like best about JAMS?

JAMS is a good product. It has all the bells and whistles. The support is outstanding and it is clear that they are very customer focused. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JAMS?

During a recent supports session (the support was excellent) it became clear that passwords are sometimes stored in cleartext in settings files. That's very problematic. The setup process for connecting to an existing SQL instance is very bad. We made it through it because of the excellent support, but it should be more straightforward. For example, when creating a JAMS database on an existing SQL instance, it asks for the path for the data and log files. While a little more careful reading would have made it clear to us that it wanted that info to create the database on the server - it shouldn't have asked that in the first place. IMO it should have created the database in the default for that SQL instance. That's not something a person installing JAMS should have to know. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kevin Vliet of JAMS

Thanks for the review, Tommy! JAMS is a great tool for centralizing SQL-related work, so it's great to hear you're getting value from that. We're always striving to improve the user experience of JAMS - everything from the initial install up through implementation and beyond. Your voice is heard and we appreciate the feedback. Be sure to keep in touch with JAMS Support as you continue implementing JAMS...we're here to help!
