Cloud Engineer at a financial services firm with 501-1,000 employees

Has streamlined complex job scheduling across scripting languages while reducing manual effort

JAMS could be improved with a web client that is accessible and as fast as a normal website, eliminating the need to RDP to the servers to access the JAMS client. A functionality running on the JAMS server to continuously check the JAMS agents would ensure they are working properly. If an agent is not responding, a feature to restart the service from the job server machine would be beneficial. The upgrade process, particularly when switching from V6 to V7, could be clearer in terms of documentation, ideally with screenshots showing exactly what needs to be done on each screen.

Works

The service level and automated capacity manager functions allow us to control priorities, support SLA's and manage our 4HRA and reduce MLC for some software bills.

There currently is a WUI that allows an operator a single pane of glass to see how TM is performing to meet service policies within a JESMAS environment. This is a new feature and multiple individuals have expressed desire to not only see real time monitoring, but the ability to historically go back at least several hours or possibly an entire day to review history.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"One of the things I like the most, as a SQL DBA, is the fact that we can manipulate tables in the background. Also, the fact that you can have your own views and work with the product the way it fits best is a very helpful feature."

"The built-in triggers are great."

"JAMS offers diverse scheduling capabilities for any kind of job, including Linux, PowerShell scripts, and SQL, enabling automation of jobs, which has proven beautiful after three years of usage."

"It makes everything that we want to do so much easier. We have had a number of instances in the past where we have had developers who have been working on a project, and even though we have had JAMS for all these years, they will create some SQL Server Agent job, or something like that, to run a task. When it is in code review and development is complete, the question always comes around, "Can JAMS do this?" The answer has always been, "Yes." Pretty much anything we have ever developed could be run by JAMS."

"The overall product is fantastic. I love it. It has been a fantastic, solid product. If I have one tiny bit of a problem with it, the support team gets in touch with me right away. I don't know if I've had another service that has been as fantastic as the JAMS support team."

"The most valuable feature for us is that it's DR-ready. With respect to disaster recovery, it has the built-in capability for failover to our DR site. If all of the required ports are open, it can be done seamlessly."

"We also use the solution’s Interactive Agents. If we need to push something to our dealer portal, we can just drop a file in a folder and it goes. Running interactive tasks helps me users focus on business processes since I don’t have to take care of running the jobs manually."

"The fact that we no longer need to use Excel spreadsheets is huge. Before JAMS, every group was keeping track of their own batch jobs. Nobody really knew what the other jobs were. So, if jobs failed, other groups wouldn't necessarily know. With JAMS, everything is done through a single scheduler. You can choose who to notify."

More JAMS pros

"The integration of IMS commands is very useful, because you do not have to switch to another tool to problem solve solutions."

"Enabled me to solve production problems faster or even avoid them preemptively with warnings."

"It is very easy to build integrations and processes to pull and push data."

"Integrity, ease of use, user-friendly user interface, and errorless logs are the most valuable features."

"It runs like an appliance and has tremendous throughput."

"The Cloud Console for monitoring and troubleshooting data operations."

"Jitterbit provides the ability to quickly map data between files and databases."

"Jitterbit allows us to query databases and web services, manipulate and organize data, and track the flow and the states of different processes."

"Jitterbit handles the most lines of data in a .csv and loads the quickest of any data loader I have tried."

"It is a scalable solution."

More Jitterbit Harmony pros

Cons

"As an admin, I would like to have a web-based GUI instead of a client application that we have to install on our PCs."

"The only thing that they could improve on is the fact that they don't have a browser version of JAMS. They've got all the bits and pieces there if you want to build your own web version of it. It does come with a web client, but it's pretty clunky. They could improve on that."

"The JAMS automation code isn't so clean."

"JAMS lacks source control features. Our previous solution had job control language, but JAMS doesn't. When migrating between versions, JAMS doesn't migrate all the data, like job change history, etc. Also, the scheduler doesn't have a way to make jobs invisible, so you can temporarily turn a job off if you decide not to run it today."

"The biggest area with room for improvement is the area that my organization benefits the most from using JAMS, and that is in custom execution methods. I happen to have a very good C# developer. Ever since we got JAMS, he has spent a lot of time talking to JAMS developers, researching the JAMS libraries, and creating custom execution methods. He's gotten very good at it. He is now able to create them and maintain them very easily, but that knowledge was hard-won knowledge. It was difficult to come by, and if I should ever lose this developer, then I would be hard-pressed to find anyone who could create JAMS custom execution methods quite as well as he can since there really isn't all that much help, such as documentation or information, available on how to create custom execution methods."

"If there were a softcover book on how to really take advantage of all of JAMS' tools, I would buy it. I do better with training books than online searching, so a book would be helpful."

"The monitoring of the JAMS product and its performance is an area of concern for me."

"I want JAMS to implement a global search function."

More JAMS cons

"An expansion for distributed systems would be great, but probably not workable."

"More visualisation and support for mobile devices would be good."

"Looping through complex data structures can be difficult."

"The only thing I would possibly change is the UI."

"I would like the ability to offer a dedicated cloud version for security."

"There were some bugs in the product. For example if you run a delete query and test, it deletes the actual data."

"In the past few months, there have been some server downtimes during work hours that have affected some critical scheduled integrations."

"There were some bugs in the product. For example if you run a delete query and test, it deletes the actual data."

"Sometimes we experience disconnections and I have to close all Jitterbit programs."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"JAMS is priced competitively compared to similar solutions and offers flexible licensing options to cater to user needs."

"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."

"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."

"There are no additional costs other than the license for Fortra's JAMS which is affordable."

"It was $10,000 for the first year. Then, there is a maintenance cost for licensing every year that we get billed $5,000 for every year."

"JAMS is relatively inexpensive, with additional costs only incurred for tags, other services, and optional support renewals."

"It's certainly a lot cheaper than Tivoli and Control-M. In comparison to them, you get a lot more bang for your buck. You get pretty much the whole functionality and more, in some cases, when compared to Control-M, but at a fraction of the price."

"The pricing is reasonable."

More JAMS pricing and cost advice

"If you already use other products from BMC, you might be able to get a package deal from BMC's sales department."

"The Jitterbit price is based upon endpoints. They also offer ERP connectors with their Enterprise edition"

"The added bonus is that Jitterbit doesn't charge for any data volume/traffic."

"Jitterbit was extremely cost effective for us compared to other options."

"Each business needs to determine if it is a mission critical aspect."

"The solution's cost is mid-ranged compared to other vendors."

"I do believe Jitterbit has one of the better pricing and licensing options out there compared to its competitors."
