JAMS Scheduler vs. ActiveBatch
JAMS Scheduler (formerly MVP JAMS Job Scheduler) and ActiveBatch Workload Automation are both orchestration and workload automation tools.
However, ActiveBatch Workload Automation goes beyond platforms like JAMS Scheduler and allows IT to orchestrate enterprise processes between disparate tools and technologies using hundreds of reliable, no-code integrations. ActiveBatch provides drag-and-drop job development and orchestration, cross-platform execution (Windows, Linux, UNIX, OpenVMS, IBM iSeries Mainframes, and more) of scheduled tasks, and unified monitoring of critical processes, application performance, and IT infrastructure.
Both products offer intuitive user interfaces to automate repetitive tasks, including on-premises thick clients, web interfaces, and mobile applications. But, ActiveBatch takes a more secure and reliable approach by providing business end-users with a custom-designed Self-Service Portal interface that prevents any improper use of features and ensures smooth operations without compromising on function and visibility.

ActiveBatch Workload Automation
ActiveBatch is a workload automation and job scheduling system that enables IT teams to automate and coordinate cross-platform processes or job chains.
ActiveBatch also supports connecting to API endpoints and can perform command line functions. So anything you might have already downloaded from GitHub, including open source job schedulers, can be consolidated into ActiveBatch if it can’t be outright replaced.
