Overall Satisfaction with Control-M
Control-M is used enterprise-wide and globally by our IT and business departments. We have a highly customized ERP system and many IT platforms that share the same data. Control-M helps manage the financials process, integration of tasks and many of the business continuity and housekeeping tasks. There are multiple technical platforms in several time zones and countries and Control-M helps manage and coordinate the jobstreams.
- Control-M provides strong job auditing of who does what, when, where and how.
- Multiple jobstreams are managed for multiple environments simultaneously from one enterprise server.
- Since we have several OS and database platforms worldwide, this one scheduling application can handle all of it.
- Control-M is relatively easy to learn and engage with at user levels. Job loads and forecasting are relatively intuitive.
- Enhanced GUI functionality has been improving over the years, but screen design can lag behind depending on the version in use.
- Speed of operation is reasonably good but can always be better. Many new features have been added which require more server resources for efficiency.
Manpower Inc. has used Control-M for more than a decade. In the past, Control-M offered broader controls, greater security and multi-system platform integration.
