JAMS Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Principal Data Base And Infrastructure Engineer at a outsourcing company with 501-1,000 employees4.5I've used JAMS for 9 years as our enterprise job scheduler, gaining significant efficiency by automating tasks and consolidating systems from mergers. It's easy to use, saving 4-5 hours daily. However, rising licensing costs are a concern for future evaluations.
Database Analyst / Architect at a healthcare company with 1,001-5,000 employees4.0I use JAMS to automate complex database refreshes, backups, and dependent job scheduling across PeopleSoft and other systems. It significantly saves my organization time, reduces errors, and centralizes job management. I find it stable, scalable, and versatile for diverse tasks.
Cloud Engineer at a financial services firm with 501-1,000 employees4.0I've used JAMS for over three years to schedule 6,000+ jobs daily, appreciating its stability, ease of use, and strong support, though improvements like a better web client and smoother upgrade process would enhance the experience.
Internship (Engineer) at a consultancy with 11-50 employees5.0I find JAMS beneficial for learning Google products, building projects, and automating tasks with its user-friendly UI. However, its compatibility and troubleshooting speed degrade under high server loads, requiring improvement. Overall, it's a valuable tool despite these issues.
Consultant at HCLSoftware4.0I've used JAMS for four years in batch job scheduling, finding it user-friendly, cost-efficient, and time-saving, though it needs improvement with AWS RDS integration and can be less responsive with high job volumes.
System Engineer at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees4.0We use JAMS to streamline server tasks, managing about 1200 jobs efficiently. Its user-friendly interface and excellent support are key benefits. We previously used Windows scheduled tasks, and switching to JAMS marked a significant improvement in organization and management.
ETL Data Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees5.0I've used JAMS for three years to schedule and monitor jobs efficiently; it's reliable and easy to use, though it slows down under heavy loads. Support is helpful, and I'd recommend it for smooth job scheduling.
Manager of Reliability Engineering and Security Operations at a computer software company with 501-1,000 employees3.0I use Fortra's JAMS for orchestration and scheduling to manage various workloads efficiently, though its monitoring features need improvement. Despite its learning curve and quirks, its flexibility and templates enhance productivity. I've also considered Ansible for similar tasks.
