"Managing batch jobs and dependencies is now super simple"
4.5/5
What do you like best about JAMS?

The best part about JAMS Enterprise Job Scheduler is that all background activities are maintained by this system as reliable and predictable. I daily use it to automate any process that requires files to be transferred, database to be updated, and batch scripts to be executed and dependencies are ensured that they are executed in the proper sequence without me checking on a regular basis. The time management attributes allow avoiding any conflicts and minimizing errors, which makes the daily job processes easier and allows me to have peace of mind during the rush time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JAMS?

What I do not like is that the setup of the advanced job dependencies is at times lengthy. When there is a change in workflows or they require modification, additional efforts may be incurred to change all things properly. It has affected the time schedule of projects on numerous occasions as manual checks were needed to make sure that jobs were executed in the correct sequence. The fact that these are small inconveniences and frequent leads to the fact that they can accumulate and slack down productivity with tight deadlines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"JAMS significantly improves operational consistency"
4.5/5
What do you like best about JAMS?

Of interest to me about JAMS is that it minimizes risk in the process of coordination of operational tasks. Scripts and jobs have conflicts or need constant focus to prevent mistakes before use. I can now trust processes to run as expected because of its functionality of scheduling dependencies and automatic recovery. Its frequent use has not only enhanced reliability, but also made the cooperation between the IT and the business teams stronger since everybody is able to trust the products and can concentrate on interpretation and follow-up but not on execution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JAMS?

The thing that I do not like about JAMS is how much attention is required to correctly establish workflow dependencies and recovery processes. When a step is wrongly configured, an automated task may fail silently or result in more work being done. At initial implementation, this made my team work additional effort as we had to keep on checking that jobs were executing well, thus increasing onboarding of the system and we needed to continue to make adjustments to avoid mistakes.

5/5
What do you like best about JAMS?

I really like its robust monitoring features, which make it easier to schedule even complex tasks. The intuitive setup helps streamline my processes and supports reliable task dependencies. I also appreciate how it automates and manages different workflows, which has noticeably improved my efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JAMS?

Due to the platform's large number of features, it can be somewhat confusing at first, as some elements function differently. It would be beneficial if the software allowed for more precise customization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful Automation, But UI Needs Improvement"
3/5
What do you like best about JAMS?

I find JAMS incredibly beneficial for automating and orchestrating tasks, providing us with a centralized location for all our automations, which significantly enhances our organizational capabilities. The API offered by JAMS is particularly handy, facilitating the integration of custom utilities, and is instrumental in automating auditing requests by providing detailed insights into job statuses, particularly in identifying failures. Moreover, the API setup process, along with the desktop client setup, is straightforward, enhancing its usability. I also appreciate the high-quality Postman documentation, which aids in utilizing these features efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JAMS?

The user interface of JAMS is really bad and can be ambiguous, especially with dates and schedule times. It feels like an entry-level Java GUI project rather than a professional tool. I believe that a cleaner menu design would significantly improve the experience, such as hiding less important options from top-level interfaces to access only when needed, rather than every time the app is used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Peter Hegland of JAMS

Hi Mich - thanks so much for being a loyal JAMS customer and for taking the time to leave us a review. I'm happy that JAMS has been of value to you for centralization and the use of our API. Have you checked out our new web UI in beta? It's a completely refreshed web application (React based) and is much cleaner. Please reach out to me if you'd like to try it out. If you would like to ever discuss anything JAMS related please reach out to me at peter.hegland@jamssoftware.com. I am the CEO of JAMS.

"Effortless Job Management and Reliable Monitoring with JAMS"
4/5
What do you like best about JAMS?

JAMS simplifies the process of running and managing jobs across all our servers. Having everything visible in one place is especially helpful during busy periods. Setting up triggers based on time or specific events is straightforward, which means we don't have to create additional scripts. The logs are clear and consistently reliable, so when issues arise, I can quickly understand what happened without wasting time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JAMS?

Some of the error messages are a bit complex, so it took trial and error to figure out what the job actually needs. The initial setup for certain integrations took longer than expected Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Peter Hegland of JAMS

Hi Shakib - thanks so much for being a loyal JAMS customer and for leaving us a review!

"Seamless Data Integration, Needs Direct BI Connections"
4.5/5
What do you like best about JAMS?

I like using JAMS because we can use multiple sources of data, and it offers multiple integrations. It's good for preparing and pulling data from any BI tools like Snowflake, quota, and MicroStrategy, and then sharing the data easily with users via shared drives or SharePoint. This feature makes it really helpful for our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about JAMS?

I don't like that JAMS doesn't let you make a direct connection from Tableau and Power BI without using complex Python queries. It would be easier for users if this was possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Peter Hegland of JAMS

Hi Umesh -

Thank you so very much for being a loyal JAMS customer and taking the time to leave us a review! I'm glad JAMS has been of great use to you. Could you please reach out to me at peter.hegland@jamssoftware.com to talk about Tableau and PowerBI? We are actively adding new integrations to JAMS and maybe these two need to be prioritized much higher.

Thanks again!
