My company uses JAMIS for time and expense. I am a user. The timecard function is fine. The expense function is HORRIBLE. Just attaching a receipt is a multistep pain in the rear. If you make an error, you get an error code that makes no sense. Unlike most software applications, JAMIS doesn’t highlight the missed or incorrect fields. Instead, I have to engage someone from HR or my project manager to figure out what happened. I strongly suspect that this was the cheapest time and expense software that met contractural requirements, because cost is about the only thing going for it from a user standpoint. Avoid!

The Good…

It’s easy to log off.

The Bad…

I am convinced that the expense function was built with ZERO evaluation by USERS. Attaching a receipt is a multistep process. You select ATTACHMENTS, BROWSE, select the file, wait for it to partially upload, then you have to describe the file, then save it. So if you have a scanned receipt named HOTEL RECEIPT, once you’ve selected it, you then have to enter a description before you can save it. There isn’t a SINGLE ASPECT of the UI that is intuitive. The worst part by far of any business travel is using JAMIS.

This is the most frustrating software. The UI is not intuitive, buttons don’t make sense. Little things like when you resize a window, it doesn’t resize the contents of the window (just literally the outside border of the window). In the job list you can’t select and copy a code. Just little things that they didn’t think through that create a terrible workflow. There are three different places to click to add a job to your timesheet depending on the minutae of what you want to do. There should be ONE job list with filters, not this nonsense about there being a personal job list, a job master, yet another place where you configure the jobs on your timesheet…and lastly, the UI just looks dated. Looks like windows 2000. I’m flabbergasted that my company chose this software and I’m not the only one in my company who feels like this. (And we are software developers so we know our stuff).

The Good…

Nothing.

The Bad…

The workflow, user interface, too many clicks, not ituitive…

User interface not intuitive. Late entries take 10 minutes or longer to enter the reason due to bad logic in the pop up box

The Good…

The user guide is user unfriendly

The Bad…

The GUI needs lots and lots of work.
