Overall Satisfaction with Control-M

- Insertion and updating of information in databases from files or other sources. - File movements from FTP, S3, etc. - Execution of Java processes. - Application restarts.

Pros

  • Monitor the execution status of a job (when using an agent).

  • Resource control for job management.

Cons

  • You cannot see the same job details in both the monitoring and planning sections.
  • Some options are only available on the web version, while others are available on the desktop version.
  • The user interface could be more intuitive.
  • Automation of requests by users, lower operating costs.

Did implementation of Control-M go as expected?

Would you buy Control-M again?

Yes

For example, when you have many servers and want to launch scheduled tasks, control-m offers a single point of control and management. It is practical for moving files, launching daily checks, and any batch execution. On the contrary, you may not require this tool if your systems infrastructure is not very large.
