"Effortless Scheduling and Versatile Job Management"

5/5

What do you like best about Control-M?

Ease of use. Multiple ways of scheduling and connecting jobs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Control-M?

The differences between the client and the web. They changed terminology in the web, but not in the client, so as we try to move from one to the other, there is some difficulty in finding things. The scheduling in the web is different and harder to use. Maybe because there are more options. We have not had time to look into these changes and how to use it.

What do you dislike about Control-M?
