Best workload automation tool for Mainframes
What do you like best about the product?
Control-M is undoubtedly the best workload automation engine supporting IBM mainframe systems
There are a plethora of options available to trigger and schedule batch jobs including (time, application events, file state changes, human actions, database events, etc.) and are optimized to deal with large flow definitions (with lots of tasks, dependencies, conditional executions) and complex calendars (like when is something a business day or holiday, etc.)
Would be my go to scheduler for setting up Mainframe batches.

What do you dislike about the product?
Since it is a Newbie, not many cons. Here are some which I observed:-
The upgrade process could use some improvement as it is a little bit complex.
Failed job Color Should be changed to red or any. Dependencies have issues if the cyclic job fails and we try to re-run.

Scheduling made easy
What do you like best about the product?
Provides full-fledge scheduler in mainframes
What do you dislike about the product?
Still not an easy tool for everyone to learn
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It provides an enterprise solution for mainframe job scheduling. Job abends, and debugging becomes more effortless.
If you're looking for an app to schedule a job, here's it!
What do you like best about the product?
The visual interface is very nice. You can move the jobs with drag and drop and create easily. Set the jobs that need to work from planning. When that day comes, let it come to monitoring and be triggered by itself. Especially, it made ftp work much easier, which we often do. You get the job done with arrows. Excellent.
What do you dislike about the product?
Bash scripting is required to create an OS job. Yes I know there is no other way but it would be nice if it was done like drag and drop
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We manage jobs that we used to manage with crontab on the linux server in the past, much more easily than in an environment where we can now see them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a product to do this job, you can choose Control-m with your eyes closed.

Control M easier and faster scheduler
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to follow through when monitoring big flows. Job definitions and IO rules make things easy to track and trace flows and tables.Control M scheduling in my opinion is easier than ESP scheduling. It's easy to know if the job is delayed and in waiting state also easy to figure out and manage the resources and conditions in Control M.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not see many downsides. In fact it's easier than ESP.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracing stuck flows, debugging, waiting resources etc. File receiving and going and starting the flows.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I liked Control M as it was easy when used while scheduling jobs and tables.
