Overall Satisfaction with Control-M

BMC Control-M is used as a scheduler to run business-critical processes, send regulatory files to all regulators, run backups, housekeeping, and various other critical processes.

Pros

  • Schedule Jobs.
  • Run Backups.
  • Housekeeping
  • Graphical view of jobs in WEB and GUI.
  • API integration with various other tools.

Cons

  • Cost effectiveness.
  • Support model.
  • Generation of reports.
  • Helps in automating various tasks which in turns reduce time and increase profit.
  • Decrease in human error as automation takes care.
  • BMC Control-M is costly tool and hence organization need to pay lot for it.
It is a very stable tool and can be integrated with various ITSM tools. Way control-m is evolving itself in API and WEB is fantastic. You can job status through the mobile web and call API pragmatically through a job as a code. Stable, user-friendly, easy to use, and adaptive to integration makes it best.
Pictorial view and Stability are two things that make Control-M great. The configuration manager, which is best used to manage all the system parameters, is better than updating files(in HWA and AUTOSYS, we do). Site standards and WCM are two other revolutionary things BMC Control-M has.
