reviewer2770605

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.

Senior Software QA Engineer at Promantus India Pvt Ltd

Have managed deployments with minimal hiccups and simplified job scheduling through intuitive interface

Scheduling and running jobs is valuable because it simplifies automation. You just need to connect the bot and you can run it easily. For example, with Selenium automation, I tried Automation Anywhere, but I did not see many packages available in Automation Anywhere. Compared to UiPath, there are many packages available to make automation easier, which is why I find UiPath to be the best. Another valuable feature is the ability to give access to people in UiPath Orchestrator at the organization level. They can log in and see the information themselves, which provides transparency to the people and helps with visibility.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The code-driven automation for more complex scheduling requirements frees up time because it's really easy to use... It's almost like a stand-alone software that we can't live without."

"JAMS has improved our productivity immensely because everything flows. I don't think we could operate at our current staffing levels without it."

"JAMS has improved my organization by taking a myriad of manual processes and allowing us to automate them. It enables our folks to focus more on tasks that require their human intelligence and their creativity and less on just mundane tasks. It increases efficiency, accuracy, and consistency."

"I didn't know about JAMS because I don't have a person with any challenges with the purchase administration. The feature or the user interface is user-friendly because of the readable icons or very descriptive icons. Though I'm a beginning user of JAMS, I had no issues using it."

"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 interface is good, and it's very easy to define and create jobs. If a job is not running or there is an error, the solution will send an email. That's all very good and very useful."

"It has definitely drastically improved our capabilities to scale our automation. Before JAMS, there were a lot of manual processes. We had a couple of operators who spent all day doing that. A lot of the time with human intervention and human processes, it is as good as the person who may be following a procedure and human error is a big problem."

"The scheduling and execution of jobs are the most valuable features. The scheduling is important because if there is a task we want to execute at 4:00 AM, there's no way we will have someone who can manually run the job. In addition, we execute 100 to 200 jobs per day, and manual intervention is not an option."

More JAMS pros

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

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

"The focus on repeat application automation is valuable."

"Assets and logs are valuable."

"The reporting features are good."

"UiPath Orchestrator has helped us by replacing manual processes with automation."

"The monitoring feature stands out as the single most indispensable aspect of UiPath Orchestrator for our automation processes."

"Using UiPath Orchestrator, we can deploy tasks across different environments, including virtual machines, for both attended and unattended processes."

"I like UiPath Orchestrator's screen capture feature."

"Orchestrator's most valuable features include schedulers, queues, and integration with Splunk."

More UiPath Orchestrator pros

Cons

"The ACL or access permission area needs to be improved. When it comes to defining and providing security permissions, it's a bit confusing if you are new to JAMS. JAMS needs to improve the features for security access or permissions."

"The tabs in the JAMS file transfer could be clearer. It would help us demonstrate to our client that JAMS not only automates jobs but also does fast transfers, and it's an alternative that supports and filters different kinds of platforms. Filtering file transfers will be highly beneficial to them."

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

"JAMS notifications for hung jobs could be improved."

"The error messages from JAMS often need clarification, hindering our ability to resolve issues swiftly."

"It does validations when you try to delete an object and if there are any dependencies in place, the deletion process will not proceed... there is no information provided as to what it was that caused the validation to fail... it's quite a tedious process to find which object is getting in the way."

"When looking at a folder in JAMS with many jobs, it would be good to have better information in the list display of what's inside those jobs. We get some information, but other important details are missing."

"With no programming experience, I find JAMS code-driven automation challenging due to the required PowerShell scripting."

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."

"The product must conduct more promotional activities and webinars."

"The code management for the Studio could be improved."

"The vendor should provide free certification to their partners."

"It's a bit difficult to connect to the licenses."

"The installation of the product on an on-premises version can take a long time and may involve some troubleshooting procedures to be followed."

"The product could improve by migrating more functionalities from the cloud to the on-premises version sooner."

"I am interested in seeing more features like document understanding and AI integration."

"The licensing cost associated with the tool is too high. If the tool can reduce the license cost, most of the organizations will opt for it."

More UiPath Orchestrator cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Take advantage of its scalability. You can start small. The initial cost is very reasonable. Once you have started picking up the tool and adopting it, then you can scale up from there and buy more agents."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"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."

"Our licensing is pretty cheap because we have a state solution. So, we pay only $1,000 a year."

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

"The licensing model for JAMS is straightforward and based on the number of agents, not the number of jobs you run. It's cheap and fairly simple."

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

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 product is expensive, and the associated licenses add to the expenses, initially making deploying new processes costly."

"Larger organizations may benefit from more favorable pricing, as the costs can be distributed across more licenses."

"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."

"The pricing is quite reasonable, particularly with the cloud version where Orchestrator is included in all other licenses at no additional cost."

"UiPath Orchestrator's price is reasonable. We pay around 40k USD. Its licensing costs are yearly."

"The solution is very expensive. Compared to Microsoft, another tool that is much cheaper than the tool, it does not have the same features that UiPath Orchestrator has. The most valuable feature in my platform is the queue items in UiPath Orchestrator to evaluate the products using this feature."

"The product is expensive."

"The pricing is reasonable and competitive."
