Centralized Batch Scheduling with Robust Features
What do you like best about the product?
I like Control-M's ability for Hybrid Multicloud orchestration, which helps in managing a mix of old mainframes and modern cloud infrastructure within our bank. The Job As Code feature is beneficial as well. The Centralized Visibility and Auditing capabilities are also valuable, providing a centralized place to connect our systems, audit, monitor, and execute tasks effectively.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's quite complex at the learning stage, especially for beginners. Also, the cost is high. If I have a chance to improve it, my focus would be first on the native reporting tool, which definitely needs some enhancements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Control-M to reduce manual effort, system overload, downtime, and high operational cost. It centralizes job scheduling, provides hybrid multicloud orchestration, and offers centralized visibility and auditing, connecting our old and new IT infrastructures efficiently.
Comprehensive Orchestration with Room for Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I like the user interfaces of Control-M, both the FAT Client and the Web UI. I appreciate that Control-M provides a lot of integrations by BMC, and I also like having the ability to create my own integrations using the Application Integrator.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it would be nice to have an integration provided by BMC. Or the integrations that are provided should have more functionalities. The Workload Archiver of Control-M could be improved by including more log information and keeping the logs revision-compliant. The MFT/E part of Control-M is missing a high-availability solution and a lot of modern MFT-functions. There could be improvements in regards to system requirements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Control-M solves gaps between different applications, databases, and file transfers.

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.
Proactive Monitoring and Insightful Dependency Views Elevate Control-M
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Control-M gives early visibility into what is running, what is delayed, and what might fail next. Instead of waiting for user complaints, we can proactively watch critical background jobs and data movements. The dependency view is especially helpful because it shows how one delay can affect multiple systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
The platform needs ongoing attention. If alerts and views are not tuned properly, they can become noisy. Some routine admin tasks also take more steps than expected, so experience matters to use it efficiently.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Control-M helps us prevent outages caused by missed or delayed jobs. It reduces manual checking, shortens response time during incidents, and gives the operations team confidence that critical processes are under control.
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.
Robust, Enterprise-Scale Solution for Complex Workflows
What do you like best about the product?
It’s robust, centralized and enterprise-scale which can handle complex dependencies and strict SLAs.
What do you dislike about the product?
High-cost, complexity and learning-curve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solves the problem of reliably running complex, business critical workloads. Also brings very concrete benefits.
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.
