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.

Works

The service level and automated capacity manager functions allow us to control priorities, support SLA's and manage our 4HRA and reduce MLC for some software bills.

There currently is a WUI that allows an operator a single pane of glass to see how TM is performing to meet service policies within a JESMAS environment. This is a new feature and multiple individuals have expressed desire to not only see real time monitoring, but the ability to historically go back at least several hours or possibly an entire day to review history.

Senior Software QA Engineer at Promantus India Pvt Ltd

Have managed deployments with minimal hiccups and simplified job scheduling through intuitive interface

Scheduling and running jobs is valuable because it simplifies automation. You just need to connect the bot and you can run it easily. For example, with Selenium automation, I tried Automation Anywhere, but I did not see many packages available in Automation Anywhere. Compared to UiPath, there are many packages available to make automation easier, which is why I find UiPath to be the best. Another valuable feature is the ability to give access to people in UiPath Orchestrator at the organization level. They can log in and see the information themselves, which provides transparency to the people and helps with visibility.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"While I appreciate the other features, the agent stands out for its ease of installation and configuration for JAMS monitoring."

"Being able to create a series of chained jobs, which are basically linked jobs is valuable."

"The ability to sequence jobs is excellent; it means we don't have to schedule them individually, and if one fails, it doesn't unwind the entire workflow."

"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."

"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."

"I like how you can add new execution methods on the fly. It isn't overly complex to add Python script support to an execution method in the JAMS system. The scheduling is excellent. You can schedule a maintenance window and take that resource unit out of everything. It halts all of the jobs."

"We looked at other companies, like VisualCron, that were cheaper, but one of the main sticking points was the fact that they wouldn't have provided a central location for us to monitor across all servers. That was one of the biggest selling points of JAMS."

"The most valuable feature for us is that it's DR-ready. With respect to disaster recovery, it has the built-in capability for failover to our DR site. If all of the required ports are open, it can be done seamlessly."

More JAMS pros

"Enabled me to solve production problems faster or even avoid them preemptively with warnings."

"The integration of IMS commands is very useful, because you do not have to switch to another tool to problem solve solutions."

"The centralized login feature greatly helps because we can also use the Active Directory feature. We do not need to create a new user. We can connect with a user from a company, and we can add all the groups they have to set the features for a specific group. We do not need to do that for each user, and we can do that for a specific role we have in the company. I think this helps a lot."

"The tool's most valuable feature is reporting. Being on the business side, I need to report on the efficiency and the business case scenarios we build upon for the RPA. I need to find and analyze the relevant data."

"The solution is easy to use."

"Using UiPath Orchestrator, we can deploy tasks across different environments, including virtual machines, for both attended and unattended processes."

"The response time and support quality are good."

"Assets and logs are valuable."

"The reporting features are good."

"Compared to UiPath, there are many packages available to make automation easier, which is why I find UiPath to be the best."

More UiPath Orchestrator pros

Cons

"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."

"The JAMS automation code isn't so clean."

"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."

"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."

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

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

"JAMS notifications for hung jobs could be improved."

"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."

More JAMS cons

"More visualisation and support for mobile devices would be good."

"An expansion for distributed systems would be great, but probably not workable."

"The account setup and organization page setup are a little difficult. When we do the organization setups, I find it challenging, though I think if you have experience, it becomes easier."

"The solution's deployment and architecture aspects could be improved."

"The product must provide process mining features."

"The tool makes the laptops slow."

"The code management for the Studio could be improved."

"The product could improve by migrating more functionalities from the cloud to the on-premises version sooner."

"The solution must provide more AI capabilities."

"It is challenging to accurately define text within images for the product."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"It's expensive, to be honest, but it does the job."

"It was $10,000 for the first year. Then, there is a maintenance cost for licensing every year that we get billed $5,000 for every year."

"In the end, you'll find that it's really worth the price. There is some sticker shock, but it's worth every dime."

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

"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."

"For what it does, the product is priced very well."

More JAMS pricing and cost advice

"If you already use other products from BMC, you might be able to get a package deal from BMC's sales department."

"The products are available for free on the cloud, and even it is the same to a certain extent for the on-premises version. The pricing is included as a part of the license of the robot from UiPath."

"The pricing is reasonable and competitive."

"The solution's price is high. We have subscribed to 15 licenses which are paid on a yearly basis. We don't pay any additional costs for support and maintenance."

"Larger organizations may benefit from more favorable pricing, as the costs can be distributed across more licenses."

"The pricing seems reasonable based on project requirements."

"UiPath Orchestrator's price is reasonable. We pay around 40k USD. Its licensing costs are yearly."

"The product’s pricing is competitive."

"The product is expensive."
