Used Control-M for Several Years

The reporting program is the worst. It’s pretty much 80% unusable.

Delicate Batch Monitoring Tool
What do you like best about the product?
The good scenes of control-m workbench is that it allows you to search jobs and schedules on particular dates, You can see the server and job details along with the status of their run.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the dislikes I faced on control-m is you can't just easily backtrack the job flow when compared to Arow tool. You should go for neighbors section to view successors and predecessors each time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Here are some benefits I faced - you can check the failure log for each failed time of the job's run. Also, under statistics, it shows job's average start and end time so that it will be comfortable to those who monitor the jobs.
Control-M -The best Scheduler
What do you like best about the product?
For Mainframes Platform I found Control-m as the most most accessible scheduler. It clearly shows the dependencies in terms of conditions and out conditions for the other jobs to execute. Its easy-to-use and UI based Control-m tool simplifies the scheduling tasks to a matter of drag and drop .

Sometimes the scheduling becomes really complicated when you have very specific schedules for certain jobs like run the job with different conditions for the holiday runs.

Its a very effective and convenient tools for the mainframes scheduler.Also it's well designed to accommodate complex scheduling requirements of jobs for various schedules and calenders.
Nice tool for job automation!

In our case, we have quite many legacy systems and batch jobs need to run during non-office hours with complicated sequence and conditions. Contorl-M is able to run different types of jobs, e.g. window batch, APIs...etc. This bascially solve all our issues to turn manual workflow into automated flow.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would say the support document is a bit hard to be located. While I try to find some references for API job setup, I could hardly find related samples.

It solved the heavy manual workflows in our operation team and automated most of the manual tasks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
So far I think this an excellent option to go for as it supports many platforms and job types. However, pricing could be a concern if you have thousands of job.

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

Contol-M provides rich features and an easy user interface, and there are not many dislike features we have encountered yet. I would suggest the idle timeout for the website should be increased.

Easy understanding of Filter screens and panels. Operational ability and management. Job status and Sysout/JES messages verification design can be improved.
