I like the interface of Control-M. It's pretty fast, especially the desktop interface. I also like the planning features, like getting an estimate for when a job will be completed. That's very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel like loading a lot of jobs is not that great. There's a lot of delay when I go into the monitoring section. It first renders a default view, then takes time to take its own shape. I also don't like dragging a lot. I have to drag towards the map quite a bit, and if I see a connection between two different jobs that are far apart, I have to scroll all the way through. There's no easy way to click back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
