Control M easier and faster scheduler

  • December 16, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to follow through when monitoring big flows. Job definitions and IO rules make things easy to track and trace flows and tables.Control M scheduling in my opinion is easier than ESP scheduling. It's easy to know if the job is delayed and in waiting state also easy to figure out and manage the resources and conditions in Control M.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not see many downsides. In fact it's easier than ESP.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracing stuck flows, debugging, waiting resources etc. File receiving and going and starting the flows.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I liked Control M as it was easy when used while scheduling jobs and tables.

Control-M is a workload automation solution that provides unmatched application
workflow automation, lowering operating costs and increasing application
deployment speed. It delivers enhanced business value with high availability, enhanced
analytics, and faster application deployment through automated job promotion from

a Batch Impact Manager service

workflow promotion between test and production

email alert when thresholds are reached.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cyclic jobs. Dependencies have issues if cyclic jobs fail and we rerun. Failed cyclic jobs do not show up in red color.

Old jobs which did not run. Control-M should change the color of yesterday's ordered jobs vs. today's jobs.

Scheduling the daily/monthly/weekly batch jobs using Control M.

Jobs scheduling is easier

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It has enabled us in easy scheduling of production UNIX jobs easily as per unique and easy design of Control M. It helps us to get and classify jobs folder wise and output in a separate section. Also you can have data date-wise and also based on active and inactive job-wise. I loved the way of exporting and importing and loading of jobs inside the tool for scheduling purpose. After all Control M solved a lot in a single piece of software which makes very great the environment and work.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't think if there is anything which I really don't like. The product is very great and there is nothing to say about down points.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Job scheduling is the only purpose for which I use it.

Good monitoring tool which helps us to identify failed jobs, priority failed jobs

  • September 12, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
On the alert screen itself we can see which ever alerts have been failed, also the priority failed jobs which need immediate action. It also provides the status of the jobs if they have completed fine or failed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it runs slow and also freezes therefore we have to log out everytime and log back in. There have been instances where in it doesnt link to the ticketing tool. The alerts are generated but no tickets generated for them. So this then becomes a tedious task later
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Handling various activities for the jobs. Activities like force completing them, reruning, holding, deleting etc. we can even we the log as to what activities have been performed on a particular job.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good tool for monitoring pupose
