Overall Satisfaction with Control-M

Control-M is used across the organization, it helps the business to know of failures in a timely manner, and to investigate the issue immediately and figure out exactly where the impact is.

We sometimes find out from users that the trucks are stuck and not moving, due to pink slips not getting generated at the warehouse.

We immediately identify which is the job getting delayed, and we reach out to the right functional team to resolve the issue.

Control-M is easy to use, and reliable and we look forward to vast growth in the future if troubleshooting steps are made easier.

We feel bad having to tell our customers that an issue occurred due to the Control-M application, and we are still looking forward to a solution on retry submit for our JD Edwards Jobs.

  • Map view and list view make it easy to filter jobs
  • The planning domain for monitoring domains is a good idea on the application side
  • The control-M modules are great
  • Forecasting is another beneficial feature
  • Bugs which I know cannot be entirely avoided are an issue
  • It should be simpler and easier to install the control-m packages
  • Troubleshooting steps should be be available: need to provide more videos on problem areas by checking the incident tickets raised by users on the BMC side
  • Helps to avoid financial penalties
  • We deal with health care where there needs to be more caution: Control-m helps us by delivering the medicines on time to customers
  • Skybot

I just started learning and using Skybot just one month month ago, and I see some terminology is similar to Control-V 8, I have worked on v6.3, 6.4 and now 8.

Well can't talk more about the differences but I found one good feature that is notification of calendar expiration, which is a strong feature.

Not to sure if any JD Edwards module is coming up?

I'm also looking forward to a fix on retry submit: Although we have upgraded our agent to fix pack 5, we still see the issue occurring and the scary part is jobs turning into unknown status. We only get to know once the user informs us.

Looking forward to a nice feature to let us know if any such thing occurs.
