MORE-OR-LESS, YES. Jews see Jesus as a heretical Rabbi who was just one more failed Messianic Candidate and not even an important one as far as most Rabbis are concerned. Ever since Zerubbabel in 530 B.C.E., Judaism has had roughly 15 different individuals who claimed or were claimed by other Jews to be the Messiah. The latest one of these candidates died as recently as 1992 (Menachem Mendel Shneersohn). These claimants to being the Messiah had their claims tested against the relevant Old Testament requirements to be a Messiah (see below) and were found to have not been the Messiah. Additionally, numerous Christian claims about Jesus being the Messiah due to his partial divinity, dying for sin, being born of a virgin, and so on have no validity in the Jewish system of requirements, even in the time of Zerubbabel, the first Messianic Candidate who lived nearly five centuries before Jesus.

Oftentimes, in order to placate the sensibilities of Christians or Muslims in their vicinity, Jews will argue that Jesus was a Prophet. There is no basis to make such a claim within Judaism and the last accepted prophet in Judaism was Malachi, who died in the 300s B.C.E.
