Batch Automation That Eliminates Errors and Boosts Efficiency
What do you like best about the product?
I find the batch automation has helped us eliminate any errors caused in manual processing. Also it has sped up our nightly batch processing reducing our down time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much. Calendars if I had to mention 1 thing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As mentioned above it is reducing errors that we see from manual intervention.
Effortless Workflow Automation with Powerful Control
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Control-M is how it simplifies complex workflows through reliable and powerful automation. It provides clear visibility, strong control, and helps save time while keeping operations running smoothly.
What do you dislike about the product?
One aspect I find challenging about Control-M is its complexity, which can make the learning curve quite steep. Additionally, the user interface isn't as intuitive as it could be, especially for those who are new to the platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Control-M addresses the difficulties of handling complex job scheduling and workflow automation across multiple systems. Ensuring that processes run as scheduled reduces the need for manual intervention, enhances reliability, and provides greater visibility into potential issues. This ultimately saves time and helps minimise operational risks.
Seamless Integration of Legacy and Modern Automation
What do you like best about the product?
Control-M fits into environments where both legacy systems and modern tools exist. It helps coordinate background jobs that still matter to the business while allowing automation to be triggered through APIs. This makes it easier to keep deployments stable and avoid breaking downstream processes.
What do you dislike about the product?
It’s not a lightweight tool. Some configurations feel more operations-focused than DevOps-focused, and setting things up the “right way” takes planning. Without clear ownership, workflows can grow faster than documentation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Control-M helps prevent silent failures in automated processes. It gives visibility into scheduled work that CI/CD tools alone don’t cover. This reduces production surprises, improves coordination between teams, and keeps releases from impacting critical background jobs.
Streamlined Job Management with Control-M
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Control-M is a key orchestrator that handles the complex job dependencies, with quite a lot of options and endless combinations. It's amazing how it integrates with any application in the market today. I also find that using the SaaS version of Control-M is pretty straightforward, and the migration was quite easy compared to my previous experience with an on-prem solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
The application integrated part can depend on the use cases and may create some issues. Setting up the control and sub support takes a good amount of time before it's properly end to end. On the SaaS version side, there are a lot of voices against the pricing model.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Control-M, I have a single view for all our jobs, including SAP and file transfer jobs. It lets me see the complete end-to-end flow in one place.
Automation Made Simple with Control-M
What do you like best about the product?
I like Control-M for its simplicity and depth. Setting up connections and transfers is very simple with Control-M. I appreciate how it automates transfers and runs jobs, saving me from having to do it manually.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like better outputs to understand errors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Control-M for managed file transfers, running SAP jobs, and encrypting and decrypting. It automates transfers and runs jobs, eliminating manual effort.
Seamless Integration and Orchestration Across Compute Engines
What do you like best about the product?
Integration with all compute engines, orchestration
What do you dislike about the product?
Capability for high availability. Video demos on features missing on website.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Batch job management, SLA
Effortless to Use with Outstanding Observability
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use and observability make the product very user friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The upgrades from version 9.0.20.x has been a difficult task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SLA management is always a concern. Control-M helps us track deviations from normal runs of workflows.
Effortless Scheduling and Versatile Job Management
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use. Multiple ways of scheduling and connecting jobs.
What do you dislike about the product?
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 problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The integration with different services, so we can move away from using scripts. Looking forward to implementing MFT and getting rid of all of our current FTP scripts.
