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

"The fact that we no longer need to use Excel spreadsheets is huge."

"One of the things I like the most, as a SQL DBA, is the fact that we can manipulate tables in the background. Also, the fact that you can have your own views and work with the product the way it fits best is a very helpful feature."

"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."

"The feature or capability to import a job is most valuable. We can import an existing job from different platforms, and all the configurations get migrated as well without modifying the code, job schedule, etc."

"The product is easy to use."

"It's a full-featured job scheduling tool. The part that I liked the best was the support team. This tool was new, and we were all learning it and setting up the different jobs that were complex in nature. Their support team was very responsive in helping us out through the setup and resolving the issues. They have been incredibly awesome."

"The dashboard is intuitive."

"By using JAMS, my company has seen benefits such as getting to know about Google products and the latest features that are newly launched by Google, and they help me in building my projects portfolio and engaging with knowledge."

More JAMS pros

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

"It is a scalable solution."

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

"The fluid user interface (probably the most user friendly interface, when compared to its competitors)."

"Jitterbit handles the most lines of data in a .csv and loads the quickest of any data loader I have tried."

"Integrity, ease of use, user-friendly user interface, and errorless logs are the most valuable features."

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

"The Cloud Console for monitoring and troubleshooting data operations."

More Jitterbit Harmony pros

"From a cost perspective, Tidal beats them both, and we've had such good support from Tidal that it makes it harder to think about leaving, especially since the product works very well."

"We wouldn't be able to do many of the complex scheduling that we do today without it. For us, it is a mission-critical app. Because if it doesn't work or has a problem, then SAP doesn't function. It is that critical. So, it's an essential tool for us to manage and run SAP jobs."

"It's the most efficient tool in doing repetitive tasks and saves a lot of time with minimum possibility of error."

"It's easy to use and easy to administer, and it's very flexible."

"By leveraging machine learning algorithms, Tidal Automation can use this data to optimize turbine settings and improve overall efficiency and performance."

"The best feature is that it allows task scheduling based on particular occurrences, like the receipt of files, database updates, or system notifications."

"It's pretty much a 24/7 operation in terms of uptime, and we've definitely used Tidal to meet that goal."

"Overall, it does what it's supposed to do."

More Tidal by Redwood pros

Cons

"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 error messages from JAMS often need clarification, hindering our ability to resolve issues swiftly."

"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 client is horrible. Every time JAMS puts out a survey on what they can improve, I always say, "The client: When you are setting up jobs, it is quite horrible." The response has been, "Well, we are just using the Windows foundation," and I am like, "Why isn't it only your product?" We can get around it now that we know its quirks, but it is not the most user-friendly of tools out there. The UI is completely unintuitive. We had to go and open up a support ticket with JAMS just to get something back. It is not user-friendly at all."

"The search capability needs to be improved because when we try to search for a job, it's hard to do."

"I would like a simple web interface that I could give to my team to go in and kill jobs or see why jobs died so that we don't have to drill down deeper into the application and know everything about it. It would be good to have a really clean web engine that would say here are the jobs running. We can then click to see the time running and whether any of them fails and other similar things. I know they have one, but it's not very simplistic."

"JAMS has built-in reporting. I've never really used it. I tried using it a few years ago and I couldn't figure it out. It was wonky. It could be improved upon."

"The biggest area with room for improvement is the area that my organization benefits the most from using JAMS, and that is in custom execution methods. I happen to have a very good C# developer. Ever since we got JAMS, he has spent a lot of time talking to JAMS developers, researching the JAMS libraries, and creating custom execution methods. He's gotten very good at it. He is now able to create them and maintain them very easily, but that knowledge was hard-won knowledge. It was difficult to come by, and if I should ever lose this developer, then I would be hard-pressed to find anyone who could create JAMS custom execution methods quite as well as he can since there really isn't all that much help, such as documentation or information, available on how to create custom execution methods."

More JAMS cons

"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."

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

"The initial setup was pretty complex."

"There were some bugs in the product. For example if you run a delete query and test, it deletes the actual data."

"Looping through complex data structures can be difficult."

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

"Its API management capabilities need improvement."

More Jitterbit Harmony cons

"The other thing is that the performance of the web interface has not been great; the web interface can be sluggish at times and we've got to recycle it to get it to be more responsive."

"The solution needs more advanced reporting and data visualization capabilities to enable deeper analysis of job performance and trends."

"One of the weaknesses of the product is, when something happens, it's difficult to find out the root cause."

"The GUI, the graphical user interface, gets a little bit busy. You have these flyouts that sometimes are a little tedious to get through."

"From an administrative point of view, I wouldn't give really high marks to the solution."

"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."

"The drill-down into details using the Graphical Views feature is a bit difficult and not that helpful. If you want to go into the details, you have to go to the Job Activity. Graphical Views is not that easy for getting that kind of information."

"There is, unfortunately, no way to extract that into an actual output email or failure email."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"The product is reasonably priced, and we don't have any add-ons."

"I haven't been involved in the financial side for several years, but we buy one host and unlimited agents, and we get a reasonable price for that. We're happy with the amount we pay and the scalability it provides."

"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."

"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."

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

More JAMS pricing and cost advice

"Each business needs to determine if it is a mission critical aspect."

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

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

"The Jitterbit price is based upon endpoints. They also offer ERP connectors with their Enterprise edition"

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

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

"Right now, we are in a good position with the licensing model that we have with the Tidal vendor. So, we won't have any issues. even if we double in our current production. Initially, Tidal provided us some specs where if you have these number of jobs, then you come under this category. They usually provide a range of jobs from 2,000 to 10,000. You can use these specs for your infrastructure. Whether you have 2,000 or 8,000 jobs, Tidal should support it."

"We pay maintenance annually through Blue House of about $9,000. That's for our two environments: production and test."

"The price is reasonable in terms of the product’s functionality."

"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."

"Tidal is a low-cost tool and not expensive in comparison to other tools."

"The pricing is pretty reasonable. That seems to help a lot versus other companies. There are no other fees aside from the standard licensing fees. There are other products out there where you pay based on how many jobs you run and so on, and I know that's very frustrating for users."

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

"The new prices that we've received seem reasonable and comparable to the marketplace."
