We can centralize the management of all our platforms, create a series of chained jobs, and automate tasks
We have not had many problems with Fortra's JAMS. I think most of the issues have been due to trial and error. A lot of it depends on us, the users, to make sure our code is correct when we create commands. We need to make sure that all of the information is accurate. We have to double- and triple-check our code to ensure there are no issues that will prevent jobs from running. Fortra's JAMS helps make our lives easier by allowing us to automate tasks. Fortra's JAMS helps us centralize the management of all our platforms and applications. This is important because it allows us to manage all of our systems from a single location. Previously, we had over 100 virtual servers, each with its own set of scheduled tasks. This meant that we had to log in to each server individually to view and manage the tasks. With JAMS, we can simply open the client and view all of our jobs in one place. This saves us a lot of time and effort. JAMS' code-driven automation is highly effective in handling more complex scheduling environments. JAMS saves us an hour of time when troubleshooting stalled jobs. JAMS helps to free up our IT staff's time.

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing of JAMS has not been an issue for us, as it has allowed us to save time."
"Definitely check how many single processes you want to run and count them as jobs. That is how you would work out your pricing on JAMS. For example, if you're running a number of commands and you can put them all into one script and run that script, you can count that as one job."
"JAMS is priced competitively compared to similar solutions and offers flexible licensing options to cater to user needs."
"Our licensing is pretty cheap because we have a state solution. So, we pay only $1,000 a year."
"It's expensive, to be honest, but it does the job."
"I haven't been involved in the financial side for several years, but we buy one host and unlimited agents, and we get a reasonable price for that. We're happy with the amount we pay and the scalability it provides."
"This is a good product at a fair price."
"JAMS is close to the lower end of the pricing models for enterprise scheduling solutions. They are much cheaper than Control-M, as well as some other products that I've used. I also don't know of another solution where you can actually get true, unlimited licensing, where you can have as many instances and as many agents as you want."
