My overall experience with BMC Control M has been very positive. We primarily use it for batch job automation, integrating with Docker and Kubernetes for our prediction product,. This involves extensive batch jobs, alerts, notifications, and complex workflows for sensor data processing. This use case is a bit "out-of-the-box" but the product performs exceptionally well. BMC Control M is an enterprise-grade product built for production scenarios. It fully supports modern CI/CD and DevOps practices and offers flexibility for both cloud (our current use) and on-premises deployments. From a user perspective, the learning curve is not very complex. Its interface is mostly drag-and-drop, making it straightforward for new developers. While some initial hand-holding may be needed, users can become comfortable within approximately three months, which is quicker than many enterprise products requiring six months or more. The UX is simple, though some configuration may require coding. We chose BMC Control M for its bundle of features, which provides comprehensive functionalities for current and future needs, including application workflow. Its inherent scalability and enterprise-grade production readiness were crucial factors. We also considered its product roadmap and ability to support new features. These selection criteria are consistent for our organization and client recommendations. My team and I currently use it for job automation. In prior roles, this significantly improved workflow automation in hybrid environments for insurance companies, showing clear ROI and benefits in processing claims and applications. Purchase decisions were driven by improved business process outcomes, cost management, and enhanced internal operational efficiency. Key factors included product functionality and performance, product roadmap and feature vision, and quality of services.Read all insights and reviews for Control-M

I've been using this product for several years. The scope of customization is wide, but there have been problems regarding the performance on loading times. While the machines it was installed on had more than enough resources for it to run, we incurred in performance problems.Read all insights and reviews for OpenText Operations Orchestration
