Ease Of Doing Business With
Working with JAMS means less time managing the relationship and more time getting things done — with clear onboarding, responsive support, and people who actually know the product. The result is less friction, more confidence, and a vendor that delivers on its promises.
“Folks are very helpful in providing innovative solutions to get your work done. They even helped us to create new execution methods for SAP data services, which was not available when we evaluated JAMS. Great Team!!”
“Over the years I have had the opportunity to work with multiple automation tools. JAMS is by far the easiest to date to implement and work with. The interface is well thought out and provides us with many options to carry out the remote tasks we are trying to automate.”
“We switched from Automic Automation. JAMS is so much easier to implement, patch, upgrade, and push agents.”

When you work with JAMS, support means real answers from people who know the product — not generic responses or endless ticket queues. It’s the kind of responsive, knowledgeable support that keeps your operations running without missing a beat.
“The support team for JAMS is outstanding, honestly one of the best I’ve encountered in my professional career of over 22 years.”

Ease of Set Up
JAMS is designed to get you up and running quickly, with straightforward installation, clear documentation, and expert support every step of the way. From day one, your team can focus on automating work, not wrestling with configuration.
“So simple, a caveman can do it… I have worked with at least two of the “Big Name” solutions as well as a few of the open-source tools out there and JAMS really does put them to shame. When I download the trial software, I had it installed and running a simple scheduled task in less than 30 min. Don’t let the simplicity fool you, this tool is a complete solution and has integration with most of the major ERP solutions on the market.
“JAMS appears to have been set up and created by someone that knows how a scheduler needs to fit into an IT operational environment. There are so many prebuilt options that can be easily activated by filling in the right checkbox at the right place. It has so many needed features available out of the box for easy configuration.”
“Straight-forward, fast, and loaded with features. Ease of development and many features, such as triggers, smart dates and scheduling, ease of defining variables and parameters. Ability to define calendars and holidays. Ability to query the database for queries and parameters.”

Event-Based Scheduling: Your Schedule On Your Terms

JAMS maximizes resources by uniting IT environments and allowing systems and applications to be reactive with one another.
”There are many built-in features when it comes to defining job schedules. For instance, you can schedule a job to run at a specific time, on certain days of the week or month, based on the completion of another job, or on an interval, etc.”
“JAMS is an intelligent scheduler, it helped to harmonize different and scattered jobs schedulers into one platform…. JAMS features like event-based scheduling, several integration capabilities and the User-friendly UI are helping us to boost productivity.”
“JAMS is great at automating processes that need to send information and variables across multiple platforms and programs. The scheduling functions and file watch triggers are pretty user-friendly and function well.”

Secured file transfer setup is easy to transfer files to third parties. Alerts and email notifications setup is easy in JAMS.”

Best Feature Set
JAMS provides the right features and capabilities to modernize your automation and orchestrate your entire IT environment. Get greater visibility with alerts and logging, more control with event-based scheduling, and powerful integrations with everything from PowerShell to SQL—both natively and through APIs.
“JAMS simple to use interface and functionality with JDE made it easy to implement and
use. The dependencies on jobs and groups of jobs (setups) allows for the most efficient use of system time. Grouping jobs together as a setup allows flexibility to make changes very quickly for entire groups of jobs at
one time.”
“My favorite JAMS feature is that it can be extended using custom execution methods, written in C#, using their native libraries. These custom execution methods make it easy to schedule repeatable, customizable jobs which are highly tailored to our company’s systems.”
“Before JAMS we had a hodge podge of PowerShell scripts run by Windows Task Scheduler strewn across our environment. With JAMS we were able to centralize our automation and maintenance tasks with built in success/failure notifications with logging.”

size. These employees no longer perform manual procedures but instead monitor and respond to JAMS automation issues.”
