Control-M: One of the best scheduling and monitoring tool
What do you like best about the product?
Contol-M is one of the best scheduling tools and user frienldy.
We have everything on the screen like Planning, Monitoring, History, Forecast, Tools, etc.
In Planning, we schedule and create a new job(AFT and Command-line), which is quite simple.
In Monitoring, we can monitor the planned jobs.
We have an alert window when we receive the alerts for all the failed jobs, late started jobs, running late jobs, etc. We can easily navigate the job with the help of an alert window and take action as per required.
Taking action on the jobs(like a rerun, force complete, delete, kill, hold, free, etc) are on just one click.
We can also monitor the control-m resource, quantitative resource, conditions of the jobs very easily.

Applying filters is a little tricky.
Sometimes treeing the jobs not navigating.
Sometimes its environments change automatically.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We schedule AFT jobs and command-line jobs with the help of this tool. We have been using Control-M for more than five years. I am working as a technical associate, and my role is to schedule the jobs. Contol-M is the most accessible tool to schedule the jobs. Very simple to use and schedule the jobs. Monitoring the scheduled jobs is more simple. We have a monitoring window to get all the alerts like failed jobs, running late jobs, more than the estimated time, etc. We simply click on alerts to navigate jobs
Best scheduling and Monitoring tool
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using this tool for the last five years. This tool is so simple to use and user-friendly. We use this tool for scheduling and monitoring purposes. Its color feature for all the jobs like if the job got failed it will be in red if the job got completed it would be in green color. Running jobs are in yellow and waiting jobs are in gray etc. We schedule command line jobs and AFT jobs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes when we find a job in the current active job plan(AJF), there is an issue with treeing the job. This is the only problem I have seen in the past five years.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have scheduled almost 35,000+ jobs in every current day plan. We monitor the jobs with the help of this tool, and when every required any emergency change, we perform the change with this tool as well.
Workload Archiving is a very good feature for us.
What do you like best about the product?
The File Transfer component is quite valuable. The integration with products such as Informatica and SAP are very valuable to us as well. Rather than having to build our own interface into those products, we can use the ones that come out of the box. The integration with databases is valuable as well. We use database jobs quite a bit."
What do you dislike about the product?
"The high availability that comes from BMC with its supplied Postgres database is very limited. Even using your customer-supplied Postgres database is problemat
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a team called pro-mon and they monitor all the jobs for us. A single view for them makes it easy for them to monitor things
Control-M is a very nice tool.
What do you like best about the product?
I admire it's graphical layout. During batch processing i enjoyed watching progress. I worked on large system which got more than 10k jobs to execute. Options like 'n' which generate dependencies chain (predecessors and successors) was very useful to find where your processing fails. It was very easy to steer workload processing by putting F, H etc (force, hold etc) next to desired job. Also job parameterization card on which input conditions, semafors, time conditions etc was designed in user friendly way. One other options which was very nice for me was a card to define callendars (laboral days, holidays etc). C-M scheduler is my favourite along others which i got occasion to work with.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unfortunately i got no negative expirience, sorry :)

Jobs scheduling is easier
What do you like best about the product?
It has enabled us in easy scheduling of production UNIX jobs easily as per unique and easy design of Control M. It helps us to get and classify jobs folder wise and output in a separate section. Also you can have data date-wise and also based on active and inactive job-wise. I loved the way of exporting and importing and loading of jobs inside the tool for scheduling purpose. After all Control M solved a lot in a single piece of software which makes very great the environment and work.

I don't think if there is anything which I really don't like. The product is very great and there is nothing to say about down points.
