(E)JES - systems Management (SDSF)
(E)JES is an IBM Mainframe systems management software solution that provides a single point of control for all of your Job Entry Subsystem (JES) workloads, whether JES2, JES3, or even a combined JESplex of varying JES workloads.  Quite simply (E)JES provides all of the functionality of the IBM equivalent product, namely SDSF, but for both JES2 and JES3 workloads, while providing many additional functions and benefits not included in SDSF or functionally similar products, and all for a fraction of the price of SDSF!

Benefits
(E)JES generates many benefits including usability, functionality, TCO reduction, et al:

Reduced cost when compared with SDSF (Typically ~65% reduction)

Single centralised solution for managing multiple JES2 and JES3 workloads
Operational usability via improved resource (E.g. Job, Device, Etc.) management
User productivity via GUI & potential eradication of user's TSO/E address space
Flexible and granular security via (E)JES and SAF or combined functions
Resource efficiencies via exploitation of z9 Integrated Information Processor (zIIP)
Programmable (E.g. REXX, CLIST, ASM, Etc.) batch interface for flexible processing

Endorsements
(E)JES  has numerous global customers including a global JES3 endorsement from IBM:

(E)JES is the only JES3 System Management utility endorsed and recommended by IBM for their world-wide JES3 customer base

Everything is great! We have a JES2 test system and (E)JES is simply GREAT!  It beats the pants off of SDSF!!!

I have (E)JES running on four z/OS 1.6 systems in a SYSPLEX, with a combination of JES2 and JES3 on the systems
