JAMS Pros and Cons

Specification of schedule for a particular job using natural language.

Visual, self documenting job streams called Sequences.

World-wide calendars. Ability to specify holidays.

Ability to place all or part of the schedule into mantenance mode, esp. during AWS monthlypatching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of visibilty to the Source specification. As a technical person, the runtime name of program to execute is often more important than the descriptive job name. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are still on version 6 and we may have complex jobs that we are still on the fence upgrading to the latest version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It puts all of our job scheduling in one place. Integration with MSSQL Server is a big plus and our most used feature. It's pretty easy to learn and use and has a lot of functionality. The people at JAMS have been good to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Like most enterprise tools it requires administration and upkeep. Managing the agents and working around server upgrades/patching is not fun. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Excellent tool to monitor all the jobs in and out of our datawarehouse landscape. Support is stellar and free

Very easy to understand and use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing that I dislike with the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Jams allowed to have visiblity to job failures on a daily bases to resolve and develop better solutions to avoid failures in the future. JAMS gave management the data and tools to hold developers accountable to good solutions instead of quick fixes to keep things moving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

we have transitioned to SAP ERP and haven't continued with JAMS. if JAMS matures it's SAP PIPO and CPI and JOB submit process, we will adopt and use it more in the future Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to manage and create jobs. Easy to learn the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
