Overall Satisfaction with Control-M
We use Control-M across the organization. We use it for workload automation and integrate it with other applications.
- Ease of use
- Graphical view of your entire organization workload
- As it matures, the product gets better and more stable
- The WLA tools should be made as a web base rather than thick client.
- Built-in change manger should be part of the tool, not another add-on.
- Agent deployment should be all automatic, base install then fixpack, and so on.
- Not much since we don't charge our customer for workload automation, its all built in to the cost they paid for a general use of a server or LPAR.
- CA7
Much better but again costs more.
