Room For Improvement

JAMS users seek an intuitive UI, enhanced search, better documentation, integrations, monitoring, performance, and clearer deletion dependencies.
BMC AMI Ops needs improved UX, automation, AI features, dashboard customization, and better data management for enhanced efficiency.
Nintex Process Platform requires better error reporting, user interface, integration, customization, performance, and reduced complexity, with high licensing costs.
Another area for improvement would be the addition of source control for jobs internally, as this feature would solve several problems for me.
Manager of Reliability Engineering and Security Operations at a computer software company with 501-1,000 employees
A major improvement would be the integration of AI to help us accomplish various tasks.
System Engineer at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
If around 5,000 or more jobs run at a time, JAMS slows down, and we have to wait around five to 10 minutes or restart JAMS scheduler services.
ETL Data Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
The jobs should be arranged sequentially by default; this could be improved.
System Engineer at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
Sometimes false alerts pop up, so if there is any automation that checks before putting up an alert on our consoles to determine whether it is a genuine alert or a false alert, that would be really helpful.
Consultant at ATOS
I would like to see more AI in BMC AMI Ops, such as an AI feature that lets you keep track of storage in some way, perhaps some kind of automatic disk cleanup.
System Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
If we receive data in JSON, there is no action available in Nintex Process Platform to parse the data and extract data from that JSON string.
Manager Mobility & Digitalization at Fatima group
Additionally, the deployment process should be easier.

Principal Data Base And Infrastructure Engineer at a outsourcing company with 501-1,000 employees
Automation has replaced nightly monitoring and delivers reliable, unified job scheduling
We have really enjoyed working with JAMS in terms of notifications, alerts, and streamlining. There used to be a process with Automate, which is another product from Fortra, but even before that, the other division of the company that we were merging with had a tool that was built in-house called a file handler or file distributor. It was an in-house developed tool, but it was not as streamlined or as efficient as JAMS is. We literally had to have a dedicated nighttime person monitoring. Although we are 24/7, the divisions of the company that we were using JAMS for have been small scale. While we have automated it, we have streamlined it in such a way that notifications go out and alerts go out, but if there is anything, then we get paged and alerted, and if anything needs to happen at midnight, we can wake up. On the other hand, with the tool I mentioned, the file handler and distributor, we used to have a dedicated nighttime person that had to be sitting and monitoring it to see when a file arrived, whether it met the conditions, and then execute the next particular job. By using JAMS, we have gained a lot more efficiencies in terms of all of those to streamline it, and there is no necessary need for having an overnight engineer just keeping an eye on all of this.

Unified monitoring has reduced downtime and improves early detection of critical CPU issues
BMC AMI Ops offers excellent features including real-time monitoring, performance dashboard, and intelligent alerts, plus the automation capabilities we are using. It is easily accessible with visibility across multiple systems. I rely most heavily on the performance dashboard and real-time monitoring. The real-time monitoring and alerts keep us informed about problems immediately rather than waiting for users to report issues. BMC AMI Ops has impacted my organization very positively, primarily in terms of timing. Our manpower previously was required to investigate issues, which took considerable time just to identify the problem. Now we identify issues very early and solve them immediately. The positive outcomes include mainly reduced downtime and improved efficiency of our manpower. Earlier, when users reported high-priority issues, we had to spend extensive time investigating, resulting in system downtime. Now everything is much easier with BMC AMI Ops. Regarding BMC AMI Ops's AI capabilities, I believe its governance and security are very strong. We are currently handling almost eighty percent of our projects with it, and it is very stable with enterprise-level performance, including strong role-based access and monitoring capability. BMC AMI Ops is very reliable. The monitoring data is accurate, and the alerts are very specific and timely.

Have experienced challenges integrating with other systems but have benefited from improved process automation
There are multiple areas that need improvement. Nintex Process Platform needs integration with other platforms such as Salesforce and other CRM platforms. There should be actions available so we can directly integrate with these systems. Additionally, there is a gap in mathematical actions and logical actions. We need to parse data, and if we receive data in JSON, there is no action available in Nintex Process Platform to parse the data and extract data from that JSON string. Such actions and logical actions must be available in Nintex Process Platform to increase its capability. For us, Nintex Process Platform is configurable with SQL Server, but there is no configuration option available with Oracle. We also use Oracle in multiple processes, but we have found no way to directly configure Nintex Process Platform with Oracle. We have to use SQL Server in between. We have to create a link server within SQL Server as a bypass to retrieve or post data into Oracle. There were multiple improvement points available.
