My work experience with control-m

Nothing
Good monitoring tool which helps us to identify failed jobs, priority failed jobs
What do you like best about the product?
On the alert screen itself we can see which ever alerts have been failed, also the priority failed jobs which need immediate action. It also provides the status of the jobs if they have completed fine or failed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it runs slow and also freezes therefore we have to log out everytime and log back in. There have been instances where in it doesnt link to the ticketing tool. The alerts are generated but no tickets generated for them. So this then becomes a tedious task later
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Handling various activities for the jobs. Activities like force completing them, reruning, holding, deleting etc. we can even we the log as to what activities have been performed on a particular job.

Good tool for monitoring pupose
A great job schedular
What do you like best about the product?
Initially, i did not like the idea when we were proposed to buy Control-M to handle job scheduling for the project. Now that we are using Control-M to manage huge chain of jobs scheduled with dependencies on each other, we can't think of working without Control-M. You can order jobs on one or a group of servers. You can make use of multiple calendars to control what specific days job or set of jobs do not run. You can monitor job output and status with Control-M.
What do you dislike about the product?
BMC should come up with mobile app as well, so we can monitor jobs from mobile device. There is not much you can track from auditing perspective from the GUI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Control-M to schedule and run very large job cycles each containing up to 100 jobs per cycle. This is very helpful given that there are multiple level job dependencies between the jobs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need to schedule jobs on windows/linux with dependencies between the job, Control-M is a great tool.

CTM new user - Great Experience
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to run the scripts without any manual intervention. Also, they way how the tool gives a chance to set various dependencies on various jobs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really to dislike. I love the way the entire tool is design (both creating job, ordering them and running them)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Control-M to run various script in lower environments to see if the scripts execute correctly and if they are executing in the correct order (based on dependency). Based on the result and the data the scripts populate, we promote those scripts into higher environment and finally into production.
