Overall Satisfaction with Control-M

Orchestrate Batch processing at night for all business related items. The reason for Control-M is because of we can automate the dependencies of jobs and to dial out critical jobs when necessary. We use it in our UAT and Production environment and we have over 5000 jobs

Pros

  • Job Dependencies
  • Error Handling
  • Easy to create new jobs

Cons

  • Statistical Analysis, where it can use AI to help predict job schedules
  • Automation of Integrated Batch in UAT environments have expedited our testing for new application rollout.
  • Control-M has helped us trigger and react to job failures at night and to ensure that our batch process completes on time.
6 - We have 6 people that create jobs for all environments. This helps to ensure all our business process are completed via batch processing at night.
Out of the box, Control-M is relatively intuitive, but what BMC offers in training helps out and fills the gap of the knowledge required to be a specialist.
We still use Power Automate but for different scenarios where job dependency is not required.
