Those are situations where it has helped us to just say that we don't really care in which tech stack that we are in, whether it's latest or not, but the forward as well as the backward compatibility has been of great help.
Principal Data Base And Infrastructure Engineer at a outsourcing company with 501-1,000 employees
We might be underutilizing it, but as more jobs require processing, additional servers would be necessary.

Room For Improvement

JAMS needs enhanced search, browser access, usability, integration, cloud compatibility, documentation, reporting stability, and simplified security permissions.
Stonebranch users seek improvements in pricing, documentation, integration complexity, features, analytics, and support for beginners and cloud services.
UiPath Orchestrator needs UI improvements, flexible automation, better pricing, intuitive features, effective support, and enhanced integration.
Another area for improvement would be the addition of source control for jobs internally, as this feature would solve several problems for me.
Manager of Reliability Engineering and Security Operations at a computer software company with 501-1,000 employees
A major improvement would be the integration of AI to help us accomplish various tasks.
System Engineer at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
If around 5,000 or more jobs run at a time, JAMS slows down, and we have to wait around five to 10 minutes or restart JAMS scheduler services.
ETL Data Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
We can add various other features such as AI to improve its accessibility because in today's world, AI is more important than manual things.
Operations Engineer at a computer software company with 501-1,000 employees
Stonebranch can be improved due to an issue I had a few weeks ago with data leakage, as the servers consume more RAM than usual during continuous file transfers, and this utilization should be less.
Technology Analyst at Infosys
Stonebranch is more expensive compared with GoAnywhere MFT because they provide many types of services, protocols, and broader features in their product.
Associate Engineer Emerging Technology at Progression Infonet Pvt Ltd
I would prefer if the tool was more intuitive and it is important to maintain simplicity instead of combining multiple functionalities, potentially through different licensing models to restrict features.
Senior Technical Director at Globant
UiPath Orchestrator setup is easy, but the settings could be made easier for other people to understand.
Senior Software QA Engineer at Promantus India Pvt Ltd
I am interested in seeing more features like document understanding and AI integration.
Senior System Engineer at NEC Vietnam

The price is fair considering the functionality and importance of the tool, although the increase did unsettle our management.
System Engineer at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
My thoughts on the pricing of JAMS are that I won't say it is cheap, but it is cost-efficient, and that should be acceptable.

It would be beneficial for UiPath to further refine pricing, setup costs, and licensing by making their tool more intuitive and simplifying complex functionalities.
Senior Technical Director at Globant

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.
Saktheeswaran Ravichandran - PeerSpot reviewer
Lead Administrator at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Modern workload automation has unified job scheduling and reporting across regions and platforms
I feel that Stonebranch can be improved in certain areas. Since I have been a Control-M user for a very long time and have also used Dollar Universe in the past, creating a task or job and then creating a schedule with time triggers and other triggers in different objects feels a bit complicated compared to other tools in the market where everything is laid out in a single pane and scheduling is easy. Here, since we have a task and a time schedule and time trigger separately from the task, I am getting a bit confused becoming accustomed to those concepts, but that can be managed more easily.
Manikandan Ramanujam - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
