The Control-M helped me to identify jobs that come under each folder with specific applications. Also, I can monitor those details through the history tab to check for the past history of the jobs flow. That's quite impressive! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Control-M?

We use automated Control-m jobs to do our housekeeping of MQ servers. So we had to set up the control-m jobs.

It helps to automate most tasks requiring you to log in to the server and spend 10-20 minutes. When you have thousands of servers, there is no option for control-m. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Control-M?

Multiple times the Control-m jobs used to fail. So we had to do the task and restart the control-m jobs manually. But this happened rarely. When you compare the overall tasks done by control-m, I don't mind some failures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Control-M solving and how is that benefiting you?

Control-M helps to automate a large quantity of work which will require an extra human resource. If you can automate the task, you can utilize the human resource in much better use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All good but only one thing it should notify through mail about the particular job failures so that even if support misses, it will wake you, the stakeholders. That's what I feel Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Yet help us to monitor the batch jobs, and as it alerts any violation, it will reduce the overheads, and the business process will be seamless so that it won't affect the productivity Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I don't like with scheduling in Control-M is that when you schedule a job that has the same in-condition instead of confirming with you if you want to change the other one, it will add a random number to denote the difference between them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
