"BMC's super tool for faster file transfer - CONTROL-M MFT"
5/5
What do you like best about Control-M?

The perfect aspect I like about CONTROL-M's managed file transfer is the tool's interface and protocol for more secure file transfers. The file transfer takes place in the shortest possible time and applies to large files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Control-M?

At first glance, it seems to us that the tool is a bit difficult to implement in the project, sometimes confusing. But over time I feel like a pro. So now I have no problem with it, but sometimes the file transfer fails due to another sync, nothing more to say about that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Upstanding Job Management Tool"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Control-M?

The best sides of the Control-M tool are that it shows jobs more clearly and orderly. This tool also allows you to set the jobs flow view as Map / List / Gantt chart. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Control-M?

The only dislike I have in the Control-M is that when you try to load the entire host jobs in the planning section, it will take some time as numerous jobs are present under each server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best tool for automation"
4/5
What do you like best about Control-M?

We use automated Control-m jobs to do our housekeeping of MQ servers. So we had to set up the control-m jobs.

It helps to automate most tasks requiring you to log in to the server and spend 10-20 minutes. When you have thousands of servers, there is no option for control-m. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Control-M?

Multiple times the Control-m jobs used to fail. So we had to do the task and restart the control-m jobs manually. But this happened rarely. When you compare the overall tasks done by control-m, I don't mind some failures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Monotonous Workflows Simplified and SLAs Reduced through control M implementation."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Control-M?

The most helpful feature of Control M was the availability of a UI-based platform for the implementation of the activities and repetitive tasks that can be performed through automation and setting the application in Control M. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Control-M?

The only drawback was a lack of knowledge base availability due to very less adaptation and implementation in the field where I was working. Being a first mover can bring some friction in terms of new learning and proper execution but once you get hold of it. It becomes easy and fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
