Latha Viswanathan

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.

Jim Gillingham

Batch Production Manager at a consultancy with 201-500 employees

Its versatility, ease of use, scalability, and cost-effectiveness make it a 10/10 and the best of the breed

The company is not really big. One of the areas that they are working on is improving the process of migrating jobs from the lower environment to the upper environment. They had used a tool called Transporter, which was a little difficult to use, but they've now released a new tool in August, which I've not yet used, to do that. It's probably called Repository or something like that, but it's a tool for migrating jobs from the lower environment to the upper environment. That's where they needed to improve, and it looks like they may have, but I haven't tried the tool yet. They can do better reporting in terms of production statistics reporting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"JAMS saves us on the order of thousands of hours per year."

"The most valuable aspect of JAMS is its robustness."

"This feature helps my team day-to-day by running hundreds and hundreds of jobs on JAMS in a timely fashion, which is extremely important and sensitive, providing a lot of reporting to the entire firm and beyond."

"It's worth its weight in gold and we cannot get rid of it now."

"The built-in triggers are great."

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

"I appreciate JAMS for its readily available templates that allow me to create and deliver stand-up presentations within minutes quickly."

"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."

More JAMS pros

"It really simplifies integrations, especially Salesforce related integrations."

"We only use small parts of the solution, however, the parts that we use are quite adequate."

"Easy integration with Salesforce Point and click Wizards"

"The pre-configured connectors to systems like SAP and Salesforce make it extremely easy for someone who wants to integrate these two systems."

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

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

"As a Salesforce implementation partner, Jitterbit is our go to recommendation when it comes to Salesforce integration with other systems because of its streamlined, easy UI and wizard-based configuration."

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

More Jitterbit Harmony pros

"The Graphical Views feature is also very good for helping us to understand a job stream. It's great for providing a visual overview of the status of a workflow, especially the Critical Path view. That is one of our favorites."

"Tidal integrates with other third-party systems, which makes it easy to connect and exchange data."

"We have to run about 12,000 jobs every day and the majority of them need to be launched from our ERP, JD Edwards. The native compatibility of the Tidal platform with JD Edwards dovetails with our greatest need. It's directly connected to the heart of our IT system. We couldn't work without it."

"It does a very good job of managing cross-platform, cross-application workloads."

"Tidal Workload Automation Software provides the ability to quickly adapt to changing business requirements."

"From a stability and support standpoint, this is a rock-solid app, in my opinion."

"Tidal Automation is very efficient and can quickly automate most manual and repetitive tasks."

"The core of the product is great and I would certainly recommend it."

More Tidal by Redwood pros

Cons

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

"All my machines at work are Macs. JAMS client is a Windows-based thing. It is all built on .NET, which makes perfect sense. However, that means in order for me to access it, I need to connect to a VPN, then log onto one of our Azure VMs in order to access the JAMS client. This is fine, but if for some reason I am unable to do so, it would be nice to be able to have a web-based JAMS client that has all the exact same functionality in it. There are probably a whole bunch of disadvantages that you would get with that as well, but that is definitely something that would make life easier in a few cases."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"JAMS doesn't allow us to implement SOC controls. We are a company that trades stocks on the New York Stock Exchange, so all our transactions are audited. It has a feature that saves the file for only a month but doesn't segregate the data between finance and SOC-related compliance."

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

More JAMS cons

"The initial setup was pretty complex."

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

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

"Sometimes additional connectors are needed."

"I know with Salesforce updating the UI like they did, it slowed it down a lot."

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

"We have experienced some scalability issues, i.e., notably around advanced data transformation, manipulations, and cleansing, which Jitterbit can't do."

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

More Jitterbit Harmony cons

"We've had some quirky stuff happen on an occasional basis where a job does not take off. For example, a job we expected to be finished by 3:00 a.m. is sitting there and not executing when we come in in the morning. We have to go all the way back to the dependencies and then we can see that one of the dependencies has become unscheduled, for some reason. No changes were made to the schedule but this prerequisite job has, all of a sudden, become unscheduled. I have brought this up with Tidal's support but they have never had an answer for it."

"They can do better reporting in terms of production statistics reporting."

"Up until the last few months, the Transporter tool that was offered was not really good at all."

"Tidal Automation could be further integrated with other systems used in the operation of tidal energy systems, such as weather forecasting tools, energy management systems, or asset management software."

"With the client, we have had certain issues. The user interface for Tidal is a little slow. A lot of people would love this tool if they had a faster user interface. The drill-down functionality should be much quicker than what it is pulling out now. If I fill out some data, then it takes awhile to get that data back onto the screen. It's not as fast as we were expecting."

"With the client, we have had certain issues. The user interface for Tidal is a little slow."

"I would like more involvement with the cloud."

"I know they are working on it, but there needs to be better reporting. Currently, there are only three or four reports that we can get off of the system. That needs to be improved. They already have a solution to this in the new version. I.e., a schedule of all the jobs running for one day, specifically calling out what dependencies that job relies on. It would be like a flow chart of how the day's jobs would run."

More Tidal by Redwood cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"The pricing of JAMS has not been an issue for us, as it has allowed us to save time."

"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 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."

More JAMS pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

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

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

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

"The solution’s licensing model in terms of its flexibility and transparency regarding costs is pretty good. A person can buy the license, and if you decide to stop support, you can do that but still have the product. So, it's not like you're paying constantly to keep that license alive. Certainly, you want to keep support going too. Once you buy it, you own it. It's not like I have to keep paying somebody to keep using it."

"Our yearly licensing costs are between $10,000 to $20,000. They have always been reasonable with us. I like that non-production licensing is about half the cost of production licensing. Licensing is by adapter typically. We have had scenarios where we have had to take an adapter from one environment to another, and they've allowed us to do that. They have made it a very reasonable process. There's definitely a feeling that they will work with you."

"BMC is really expensive. The other solutions are about the same price. I think Tidal is even cheaper than the others, such as CA, Stonebranch, and JAMS."

"This solution is a bit expensive in the current world where everybody is trying to cut down on certain things."

"We've been able to purchase more adapters because the cost of the product has been very reasonable."

"Our annual maintenance cost is competitive for what we have and what they do."

"The licensing model's flexibility is awesome. The way it's licensed for us is that it's licensed per master and then per agent. We have an enterprise agreement, so we have unlimited agents, and we have it on 500 devices."

"We are satisfied with the pricing of Tidal. It's in the moderate range and it feels very achievable for us."
