JAMS automates jobs across Windows, Linux, UNIX, IBM i, z/OS, and OpenVMS, with native integrations for the databases, BI tools, and ERP systems already running your business, including SQL Server and SAP. Jobs run on any schedule or trigger off other events, and dependency management keeps multi-step workflows in the right order. Every job is centrally monitored, with notifications on success or failure and an audit trail of every execution. Built-in conversion tools migrate existing jobs from Windows Task Scheduler, SQL Agent, or Cron without rebuilding them, and JAMS replaces homegrown, single-platform scripts with one centrally managed system. JAMS includes two AI capabilities at no additional cost. JAX is an AI agent built into the JAMS Web Client. Ask it a question in plain language, and it finds a job, troubleshoots a failure, or looks up how to do something, grounded in JAMS documentation, not general AI guesswork. It acts only when asked, and every change waits for your a... pproval. JAMS MCP brings JAMS into the AI coding tools teams already use, including Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Claude Desktop. Both run inside the customer's network with the signed-in user's permissions and no elevated AI account, and every action, AI-driven or not, lands in the same audit trail as everything else in JAMS. For teams managing thousands of jobs across SQL Server, ADF, Airflow, SAP, JDE, and Banner, this cuts tribal knowledge and middle-of-the-night troubleshooting. Knowledge that once lived in one person's head becomes something any team member can ask about directly. The AI lives in the product, not in the support queue. Support is staffed by humans JAMS will never outsource, based in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. New tickets go to long-tenured engineers, and every JAMS customer has the CEO's cell phone number. JAMS' mission is to reduce the operational burden of critical automation, so teams spend more time on the work automation was meant to free them for.

We have been very happy with the JAMS product and the Team @ MVPSI overall; the product is very stable and the vendor team is very responsive with issues and helping the customers. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros We have found the flexibility of the JAMS product to give us a great breadth of use cases. Beyond just doing conditional job execution; we actually use it for workflow orchestration on larger processes where a job can monitor other jobs and continue or fail the larger process. #### Cons There have been growing pains shifting from the V6.5 to V7.x version of software so much changed in the UI/UX that getting use to the new front end has been tiresome. The installation process has also been problematic over the years; but appears to be more stable in the most recent version. #### Vendor response Thanks for the great review, David! We hope you continue to enjoy the flexibility and robustness of JAMS, and always be sure to reach out to us if you ever need anything. Replied June 2019 --- ### Using JAMS for 8 years - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Scott B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Consumer Services - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We heavily use JAMS and love using the product. We run about 30,000 jobs a day and have a production support team of 10 people that manage the jobs. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The access to the data - we run SQL queries to easily manage the data - the table structure is easy to understand and is accessible. #### Cons Sometimes it takes a little time to find a job in complex workflows. #### Reasons for choosing JAMS Scheduler Cheaper and better features #### Reasons for switching to JAMS Scheduler Cheaper and better features --- ### Excellent idea for software, clients, and scheduling. However, very buggy and not well executed - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Davesh M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: February 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros The idea of having JAMS scheduler handle jobs and monitor them is fantastic and is the best solution so far for batch jobs while managing 20-50 servers. #### Cons Software is extremely buggy, web client is almost unusable, constant updates, clients sometimes crashes leaving an entire system useless until restarted, sometimes updates fail wasting company time in reverting state #### Vendor response Thank you for the feedback! JAMS is constantly being enhanced and improved, so we hope your overall experience also improves with each release. If you have specific enhancement requests that you feel would help make the product better, please feel free to contact your JAMS account rep or JAMS Support. Replied April 2019 --- ### JAMS helps IT do their job - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Bruce C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Consumer Electronics - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Our team has used JAMS extensively to manage a number of different tasks/processes on several different servers and different operating systems (unix/windows) with a number of different methods such as scripting (bash/powershell) and SSIS calls and calling URL endpoints as well. This is a very flexible tool and it works well for our IT services team. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Jams is a pretty full featured job schedule tool. Jobs can be scheduled to run on repeated (hourly) or one time. Jobs can be tired or chained if you want as well. The interface is well done so you don't spend a lot of time finding what you need to modify or update a job. My favorite feature is the email log for completed or errored jobs, so you can get right to work - from your email tool by viewing the log. #### Cons I have found that the search/query tool doesn't default to the current day when I'm looking for a job. I realize that some users want to keep the query as they left it - thus the need to keep the previous dates and query string. Perhaps a "reset to default" button to clear everything up and get the query tool ready to use would be helpful. #### Vendor response Thanks for the great feedback, Bruce! We're thrilled that JAMS continues to be a useful tool for you and the team. The search/query behavior is very powerful, but something we're actively working to improve upon from an end-user's perspective. Be sure to keep a close eye on the Release Notes for an update on that front in the near future! If there's anything else you need, or features you'd like to see added to JAMS that could benefit the user base, please don't hesitate to reach out to your JAMS account rep or JAMS Support. Replied May 2019 --- ### JAMS ease of use, ease of understanding - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Nancy G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Package/ Freight Delivery - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Very positive. It is a great tool for a variety of teams to use. At our site, the non-production JAMS instance is used to insure the jobs / setups work as expected BEFORE being deployed to Production. And once in Production, Setups & Jobs can be visually monitored by the general public. A variety of notifications on a job's status can be sent automatically, thus eliminating the need to involve valuable "production" resources to answer routine inquires of process owners. Win-win! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros JAMS has an amazing amount of processing capabilities available. However, the support team is an invaluable part of the product. The support team has been fantastic in helping me to understand what capabilities are available and exactly how to use them. Response to on-line chat requests are answered very quickly. They offer to set up GoToMeetings for hands on assistance. And, on the rare occasion the technician doesn't know the answer, he will find the answer for you! Amazing! They take customer support seriously! The product is tremendously robust too! #### Cons It can seem a little clunky when using the UI. Sometimes the response time in viewing the detail screens is slow. However, it is difficult to know if it is the JAMS product or our environment that is slow in rendering results. #### Vendor response Thanks for the review, Nancy! We always appreciate hearing success stories like yours, and strive to provide industry leading support to all of our customers. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you ever need anything. Replied June 2019 --- ### JAMS Scheduler From HelpSystems - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Craig H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Financial Services - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. As I stated above, I have been using JAMS since 2009 and here it is now 2019. JAMS is easy to install and once up and running JAMS just keeps on running. JAMS is extremely stable. The JAMS Support Staff is very knowledgeable and respond if needed very quickly. JAMS Support also resolves any issues quickly and resolves the issue the first time. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I am the JAMS Administrator at one of the largest Banking Financial Institutions Worldwide. We have been using JAMS Scheduler since 2009 in our Credit Card Division and Mortgage Division scheduling and running thousands of batch reports worldwide each month with no issues, automatically running all jobs on time as scheduled and as requested. Another vendors scheduler system used in other divisions is called AutoSys. Once Line of Business partners see JAMS they ask: How do we convert from AutoSys to JAMS. #### Cons CONS would be just that during major upgrades from one release version to the next higher release version, ex: version 6 to version 7 migration, the new version is NOT backwards compatible, thereby causing to have to perform the Big Bang approach to upgrading to the newest release. #### Vendor response Awesome review, Craig! We are extremely happy to have you as a long time customer, and proud of the fact that JAMS continues to be an integral part of Bank of America's ecosystem. Let us know if we can be of any assistance, and we look forward to continuing to strengthen our relationship with your team. Replied May 2019 --- ### Center of our universe - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Chris P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Consumer Goods - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Using JAMS at last 3 sites I've worked. There is no other competitive product in the price range. And should be included as part of any Direct Commerce system install. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Interfaces with virtually everything we have running, Windows Server, Linux, iSeries and is the central part of the production environment. Proved to be a great catalyst for developing in PowerShell. #### Cons Clients tend to lose connection with server as it does not refresh consistently (v6), sometimes frustrating that other sessions will show different job statuses. Needs a frequent restart, not just a simple refresh. #### Vendor response Great review, Chris. Thanks for that! We often compare JAMS to the cardiovascular system of organizations, so your review title is very fitting. The JAMS Client connection can be affected by the network being leveraged, however we've focused development efforts in newer versions of JAMS (V7) to increase resiliency between the JAMS Server and Clients. We hope you get a chance to check it out for yourself soon, as well as experience all the new features that come in V7! Of course, if you need anything, please don't be shy. JAMS Support or your account manager are always available!

Fantastic !!! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The software is fantastic in ease of use, reporting and job creating. However, the support is second to none .. I cannot stress how fast and effective their support team is, I haven't seen anything even close. #### Cons I cannot think of much that I don't like, upgrades are a snap, support is amazing, GUI is amazing. --- ### JAMS is a Great Enterprise Workload Automation Solution - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Michael T. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Legal Services - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. JAMS is a very useful and powerful tool, great enterprise solution. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Centralized management enterprise workload automation. Easy setup jobs for different tasks. User friendly interface. #### Cons JAMS might can provide more user access control. --- ### Best automation software for processing inbound/outbound files. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Greg E. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Financial Services - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Great files automation at all levels. Great dependency checking. The new Workflows are a great addition and very useful for full scale "thinking" by the flow or processes. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Very configurable with PowerShell and many other languages. #### Cons When I am in the system and I undock my laptop, the software loses it's connection to the server. So you have to close the software and reopen it. But that is the least of my worries. #### Vendor response Hi, Greg. Thanks for the review! It's great to hear that you're having success with your file processing and PowerShell jobs. Client connection is something that JAMS Development has been working to improve in newer version of V7.x, so hopefully you're able to upgrade soon for a better experience when undocking. If there's anything else we can do to help, please don't hesitate to reach out to JAMS Support. We're here to help!
