Control-M Likes & Dislikes
Control-M offers a lot of integrations. The option to design your own job types (aka interfaces to other applications) or improve the existing solutions by designing own versions is very useful.
The high stability and scalability
What I like most is the structured approach to workload automation and scheduling. Even as a new user, it was clear that the platform is designed to centralize job management and provide good visibility into workflows. The interface gives a strong impression of being robust and suitable for enterprise environments.
Sometimes, the new integrations look like they support a certain solution, but when testing the integration, you find out, that there's only a limited support of a range of actions. I.e. a solution for S3 only supports to store minimal information along and object and not the complete range of metadata S3 originally supports. The different sections, interfaces and solutions have been designed at different times and by different development teams. This creates the situation that sections that have the same purpose are looking different or offer differenct capabilites. This is especially true for the resizing of sections where certain parts offer the complete range to resize, whereas others cut parts of entries and can't be resized. If you need a new integrations or functionality, it can take quite some time to get it implemented, if they do not fit the current focus of development or trends. The new web interface is an improvement, but it's still missing a lot of functions and usability to be the perfect interface to work with the product.
Needs better customization
The biggest drawback from my early experience is the initial complexity. The platform is clearly designed for enterprise use, which means new users may need time and guidance before becoming fully comfortable with all the features. Improving the onboarding experience for beginners would make adoption smoother.
