Featured Reviews

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.

reviewer2783334

SME at a computer software company with 5,001-10,000 employees

Automation has streamlined critical workloads and has reduced manual reporting efforts

In the future, I would like to see enhancements, particularly in the GUI console, the TDWC GUI console for the end user. We do not have many complaints, but I believe there is some slowness, which may be due to network connectivity. However, in some cases, we do experience lag in the TDWC console, which I think needs to be considered for improvement to speed up the end-user console. As of now, I do not have much clarity on any additional features that I would like to see included in HCL Workload Automation in the future or any functionality that requires enhancement at the moment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of JAMS is its user-friendly interface, especially after upgrading from version six to seven."

"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 most valuable aspect of JAMS is its robustness."

"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."

"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 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."

"The built-in triggers are great."

"The product is easy to use."

More JAMS pros

"We have good features, good utility, and excellent feedback from all our stakeholders and end users."

"The scalability of HCL Workload Automation is essentially limitless, as I have worked with corporations running over a million flows per day without performance issues when scaling according to HCL's documentation."

"HCL Workload Automation is more stable and secure, helping to avoid incidents and meet SLAs, making it a dependable tool."

"Easy to set up, it doesn't require a lot."

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

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

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

"The fluid user interface (probably the most user friendly interface, when compared to its competitors)."

"It is a scalable solution."

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

"Easy integration with Salesforce"

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

More Jitterbit Harmony pros

Cons

"I would like to see the ability to interface with Microsoft group-managed service accounts, but they're still in the research phase. They need to ensure everything's legit and safe. The report designer and dashboards could also be improved. We're running 7.3, so I don't know if they have updated the reporting in 7.5, but I think the reports and dashboards could be better."

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

"There could be a better simulation for banning the termination. You have to simulate every one of the processes in order to have an idea for better planning. This kind of simulation is broken and needs improvement."

"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."

"Improvements could be made in the service desk's knowledge and communication skills among engineers to better address customer needs and ensure issues are fully resolved."

"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."

"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."

"Fortra is getting much better with documentation and examples, but there is still room for improvement."

More JAMS cons

"In the future, I would like to see enhancements, particularly in the GUI console, the TDWC GUI console for the end user."

"The interface needs some improvements."

"To improve HCL Workload Automation, I recommend focusing more on testing new features before release, as the aggressive roadmap has resulted in some features not being properly tested and working as expected."

"For increasing infrastructure or adding users, while the application is good, I do not think its current capability can handle the large volume of scripts at HDFC because critical applications require high performance when many scripts are running at night."

"Its API management capabilities need improvement."

"Sometimes additional connectors are needed."

"The initial setup can be a little bit difficult."

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

"You need to have some development skills or hire a Jitterbit engineer to make changes."

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

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

"Looping through complex data structures can be difficult."

More Jitterbit Harmony cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is a good product at a fair price."

"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."

"The product is reasonably priced, and we don't have any add-ons."

"Fortra's JAMS pricing structure has deteriorated significantly since its acquisition by Fortra."

"The pricing is very fair. We have seen very minimal to no price increases over the years. We are not banging down the door of support all the time either. I would imagine if we were a company that submitted a dozen support tickets a week for the last nine years, then it might be a little different because we would be eating up everybody's time. However, for what we get out of it, the pricing is extremely fair. Back when we were originally looking and brought in JAMS, we were looking at a couple of the other competitive products that were in this space, but the pricing from JAMS was far and away better than what the other competitors could offer for the same functionality."

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

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

"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."

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