My company uses BMC Control-M to manage our applications from SAP and Informatica ETL.

I don't see any area where improvements are needed in the product since the tool has a lot of capabilities. One can opt for either a job-based license or a job execution-based license, which sometimes can be troublesome. If the job count exceeds a limit, you may need to procure additional licenses from BMC. I don't see any issue with the product's capability or functionality apart from the aforementioned issue where improvements are needed.

The price of the product is an area with certain shortcomings that stem from the expensive nature of the product and can be considered for improvement by BMC.

I have been using BMC Control-M for ten years. In my company, we use BMC Control-M Version 9.0.21. My company is a customer of BMC.

It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

It is a highly scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

More than 300 users, consisting of batch operators, job schedulers, analysts, and administrators, use BMC Control-M in my company.

In my company, we use the solution daily.

I rate the technical support a nine out of ten.

I rate the product's initial setup a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

The deployment process of BMC Control-M took less than an hour.

My company had an in-house team to take care of the product's deployment phase.

I rate the solution's price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is low or really affordable, and ten is high or really expensive. It is a really expensive tool.

I recommend the solution to those who plan to use it.

I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

It is used for file transfer, both inbound and outbound, including B2B.

Dashboard and recovery are the features I found most valuable in the solution.

I think that in the latest version, they have already improved. We still have to work on the latest one since we are still installing it. So we have not completed the installation. Post that, I think we'll see what needs improvement.

We have some issues on the SAP side of BMC Control-M Managed File Transfer. When I talk about non-SAP and SAP sides, I think with large volumes, one needs to install multiple agents. So that is something which should not be there. But at times, it is recommended by BMC. So, there are some stability issues when it comes to SAP side. The aforementioned details can be considered for improvement.

I have been using BMC Control-M Managed File Transfer for ten years. They released the latest version two days ago, and we are going to upgrade it to the latest version.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

It is a standard pre-requisite that if we grow, then we have to double your CPs and other stuff. So, scalability is not an issue.

Since we are using the enterprise version, there are maybe more than 100 users that are concurrently logged in to the application.

We have used BMC's technical support, and we found it to be great. BMC has very good knowledge articles and other stuff, so that is good.

The initial setup is simple. Last time, it took around one and a half or two and a half hours to get the whole installation and migration done. So, now it can be done in less than one hour. BMC provides an AMIGO plan, and we follow that for deployment.

We handle multiple customers. So, the staff needed for the deployment and maintenance really depends on the number of customers.

I would definitely recommend the solution to those planning to use it since it is good to use.

There are some stability issues when it comes to SAP side, and hence I rate the product a nine out of ten. However, considering the Non-SAP side, I rate the overall product a ten out of ten. So, an average rating of the overall solution would be nine out of ten.

We use the solution to transform essential files into an accessible format.

The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to reduce the number of jobs by passing various variables. It saves a lot of time for maintenance.

The solution's price could be better.

The solution is very stable.

I rate the solution's scalability as seven. Our team of around 30 monitoring executives uses the solution.

We contacted the support team for a failover issue. They fixed the error remotely.

The solution's deployment process took a day to complete.

We implement the solution with the help of a consulting company.

The solution is expensive.

I rate the solution as a seven.
