Overall Satisfaction with Control-M

We have been using Control-M for decades already and it continues to be one of the best technologies for workload automation and orchestration. It suits customers from many industries and vendor also continuously develops the tool and introduces functionalities and features. Documentation is usually on good level and new features mostly also available through standard API, which vendor calls Automation API.

Pros

  • Easy to use
  • Automation API
  • Integrations to various business applications

Cons

  • Mail sensor would be a nice add-on
  • For-each workflows are missing
  • More flexibility in variables would be good
  • Bring workbench back to docker hub
  • Hight quality automation for our clients

Control-M is easy to use and aiming to have everything in Web-UI, but the journey is still ongoing and currently some things need to be done in traditional client and some in Web-UI.
