If you're looking for an app to schedule a job, here's it!

  • December 21, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The visual interface is very nice. You can move the jobs with drag and drop and create easily. Set the jobs that need to work from planning. When that day comes, let it come to monitoring and be triggered by itself. Especially, it made ftp work much easier, which we often do. You get the job done with arrows. Excellent.
What do you dislike about the product?
Bash scripting is required to create an OS job. Yes I know there is no other way but it would be nice if it was done like drag and drop
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We manage jobs that we used to manage with crontab on the linux server in the past, much more easily than in an environment where we can now see them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a product to do this job, you can choose Control-m with your eyes closed.

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to follow through when monitoring big flows. Job definitions and IO rules make things easy to track and trace flows and tables.Control M scheduling in my opinion is easier than ESP scheduling.

What do you dislike about the product?
I do not see many downsides. In fact it's easier than ESP.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracing stuck flows, debugging, waiting resources etc. File receiving and going and starting the flows.

I liked Control M as it was easy when used while scheduling jobs and tables.
