"The file transfer, database, and integration features are the most valuable."
"It has a nice dashboard for loading up the file transfers, so it's easy to follow the success or failure rates of the operations."
"This solution has a vast amount of features and with every new release, there are lots of new features introduced. The application has high availability—we have multiple customers and it's highly available. On an application level, if something goes down with the primary, then the application goes over to the secondary, so it's very, very easy to do disaster recovery. From an application integration point of view, it has a lot of APIs, rich APIs. Every month, they are releasing new APIs and new updates, like Java, but more than that. Now they are introducing a couple more APIs, which you can use to integrate your controlling environment with any applications you want."
"The solution is stable."
"Our customers find the self-service feature the most valuable. Control-M offers great value to businesses by providing an option to see different flows and control and orchestrate the sequence of the execution. It is easy to use and integrate with different solutions. It is a good solution that is easy to implement and deliver."
"The most important aspect is the ability to integrate different platforms."

"The most valuable features of BMC Control-M Managed File Transfer are the ease of use and the ability to watch the files as they transfer called Watch File Transfer. There is a separate monitoring window that is useful."

"Could be more automated, particularly for file transfers."
"Its cost needs improvement. In addition, there could be a universal client that works on all desktops."
"We're only using the functionality that we need to use. However, we've had an opportunity to work with one application owner here who wanted to do some transfers in the cloud and things like that. I know that there were some challenges on that, but they finally got all that set up. There was a learning curve though."
"The solution lacks a graphical user interface for reporting."
"Their support can be improved. I would like them to provide support in Spanish and have more knowledge."
"The structure between the Control-M/Server and Control-M/Agent could possibly be improved."
"The solution should improve the out-of-the box conversion tool for migrations so the percentage result isn't so low."
"This solution could be improved by making it possible to better control GUI when interfacing with other systems."
"There are eight different kinds of dashboards in Workflow Insights, but there could be more because there is third party software that provides more dashboard styles."
"Its current functionalities can be upgraded."
