My work experience with control-m
What do you like best about the product?
Control-m was introduced across our enterprise to eliminate manual execution of our batch job environment and create a central point of control.Products are internally schedules are now visible.ad-hoc executions mentioned managed and managed effectively, through one central point of control, providing a complete overview of all activities.Control M is being used by our systems and operations departments. We run jobs of all sorts from many install systems and it addresses all kinds of problems for us
What do you dislike about the product?
Upgrade process is very difficult and time-consuming I think it needs improvement.I would like to see some improvements in handling conditions from previous days
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For running jobs on multiple databases and handling multiple systems
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Nothing
Jobs scheduling is easier
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
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
A great job schedular
What do you like best about the product?
Initially, i did not like the idea when we were proposed to buy Control-M to handle job scheduling for the project. Now that we are using Control-M to manage huge chain of jobs scheduled with dependencies on each other, we can't think of working without Control-M. You can order jobs on one or a group of servers. You can make use of multiple calendars to control what specific days job or set of jobs do not run. You can monitor job output and status with Control-M.
What do you dislike about the product?
BMC should come up with mobile app as well, so we can monitor jobs from mobile device. There is not much you can track from auditing perspective from the GUI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Control-M to schedule and run very large job cycles each containing up to 100 jobs per cycle. This is very helpful given that there are multiple level job dependencies between the jobs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need to schedule jobs on windows/linux with dependencies between the job, Control-M is a great tool.
