Job as code is a new concept that requires more technical skills for developers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best sides of the Control-M tool are that it shows jobs more clearly and orderly. This tool also allows you to set the jobs flow view as Map / List / Gantt chart. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only dislike I have in the Control-M is that when you try to load the entire host jobs in the planning section, it will take some time as numerous jobs are present under each server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Control-M is one of the best personalised tool which helped me to end up with rigourous monitoring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Software is little bit complicated to handle as it requires specialised understanding deep in product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The batches customisation filters where we can apply sub application and can check the batches related to it with graphical representation as grey for waiting, yellow for executing, green for completed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's hard to automate the batches. We can configure with outlook as it sends mail when batches ended not ok but it's difficult to do. Also it takes time to open. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

I like the way it monitors batch jobs in sequence and alerts us of the warning and errors in it so that we can fix them, and it will help the business in continuity 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.

Control-M Gui is very user friendly and what you see is what you get. There are also multiple tutorials found in Youtube for the differemt functions of the tool 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.
