JAMS Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Manager of Reliability Engineering and Security Operations at a computer software company with 501-1,000 employees3.0I use Fortra's JAMS for orchestration and scheduling to manage various workloads efficiently, though its monitoring features need improvement. Despite its learning curve and quirks, its flexibility and templates enhance productivity. I've also considered Ansible for similar tasks.
Cloud Engineer at a financial services firm with 501-1,000 employees4.0I've used JAMS for over three years to schedule 6,000+ jobs daily, appreciating its stability, ease of use, and strong support, though improvements like a better web client and smoother upgrade process would enhance the experience.
System Engineer at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees4.0We use JAMS to streamline server tasks, managing about 1200 jobs efficiently. Its user-friendly interface and excellent support are key benefits. We previously used Windows scheduled tasks, and switching to JAMS marked a significant improvement in organization and management.
ETL Data Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees5.0I've used JAMS for three years to schedule and monitor jobs efficiently; it's reliable and easy to use, though it slows down under heavy loads. Support is helpful, and I'd recommend it for smooth job scheduling.
Senior IT Manager at a wholesaler/distributor with 5,001-10,000 employees4.0We primarily use JAMS to coordinate jobs between JD Edwards and SSIS packages. While its automation is beneficial, recent changes to the global search and setup features need improvement. Despite some issues, JAMS remains useful, and we chose it over pricier alternatives.
JAMS Admin at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees4.5I use Fortra's JAMS for SFTP file transfer and find its robustness invaluable. It's easy to configure and reliable, unlike Maestro Scheduler. However, it needs a global search function and improved reporting, as reports sometimes crash.
Software Developer Consultant at Broward Health4.5We use JAMS to streamline scheduling for C# projects and PowerShell scripts. While it's user-friendly and adaptable, providing job history and notifications, it could improve notifications for hung jobs. We switched to JAMS from a homegrown solution.
Senior Systems Engineer at a consumer goods company with 10,001+ employees4.5I've used JAMS across various industries for IT-related tasks, finding its automation features invaluable, especially with PowerShell scripting. While built-in reporting and scheduling need improvement, JAMS offers significant flexibility and resource ROI by automating manual tasks.
