Enterprise job schedulers can define, schedule, and execute several jobs and programs across disparate systems, regions and applications by managing dependencies and running in an orderly sequence. Job scheduling tools supervise complex processes in diversified applications and data stores. To be categorized as a job scheduling software, a product must:

  • Schedule and monitor jobs across various systems. Most common operating systems (e.g. Windows, Linux) and cloud platforms (e.g. AWS, MS Azure, GSC) and applications (e.g. major systems of record such as leading CRM and ERP systems) would need to be covered.
  • Schedule using specific timetables or triggers
  • Support job dependencies.

How relevant, verifiable metrics drive AIMultiple’s rankings

AIMultiple uses relevant & verifiable metrics to evaluate vendors.

Metrics are selected based on typical enterprise procurement processes ensuring that market leaders, fast-growing challengers, feature-complete solutions and cost-effective solutions are ranked highly so they can be shortlisted.
Data regarding these metrics are collected from public sources as outlined in the “What are AIMultiple’s data sources?” section of this page.


There are 2 ways in which vendor metrics are processed to help prioritization:
1- Vendors are grouped within 4 metrics (customer satisfaction, market presence, growth and features) according to their performance in that metric.
2- Vendors that perform high in these metrics are ranked higher in the list.


The data used in each vendor’s ranking can be accessed by expanding the vendor’s row in the below list.
This page includes links to AIMultiple’s sponsors. Sponsored links are included in “Visit Website” buttons and ranked at the top of the list when results are sorted by “Sponsored”. Sponsors have no say over the ranking which is based on market data. Organic ranking can be seen by sorting by “AIMultiple” or other sorting approaches.
