	Control-M	IBM Workload Automation
Considered Both Products	BMC Software Inc. Angela Rogers Marketing Specialist in Marketing at Resolution Agency (Marketing & Advertising, 201-500 employees) Chose Control-M Since IBM Workload Automation isn't compatible with all of our project's operating systems, we've decided to switch to using Control-C instead. Second, the provider provides top-notch customer service in the event of an emergency. Control-M is a lightweight program that places … Incentivized Helpful? Pradeep Sharma Senior Specialist in Information Technology at LTI Infotech (Information Technology & Services, 10,001+ employees) Chose Control-M We prefer the Control-C over the IBM Workload Automation because it isn't supported on all available OS platforms in our project. Second, we are getting excellent customer support from the vendor in case of any critical issue comes in operations. Control-M is a light weight … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Control-M We have been using Control-M for almost 20 years and our teams are already trained to use it. Other tools are not as robust and resilient as Control-M. Control-M's graphical interface is very easy to use. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Control-M The Control-M Agent is outstanding. Using the Control-M Application Integrator gives opportunities that no other product offers. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Control-M Control-M out ranks them all. Incentivized Helpful? Oscar Narváez Del Rio Analytics and Automation Tools Manager - Perú & Chile in Information Technology at Entel (Telecommunications, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Control-M Relationship with the partner, product features, and change manager for the development cycle. Incentivized Helpful? Paul Robins Automation Specialist in Information Technology at Bendigo and Adelaide Bank (Banking, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Control-M Control-M provides true cross-platform integration without duplication, including service impact management. Control-M provides highly functional file transfer integration including pre and post processing command capabilities and centralised account management. Incentivized Helpful? Tom Bridge Senior Integration Engineer in Information Technology at Deluxe Corporation (Financial Services, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Control-M CA7 is not integrated with Control-M in our environment, but it is integrated with TWS. We have decided to consolidate on one product. It made more sense, both technically and economically to make Control-M our company standard. Incentivized Helpful? Zach Warren Infrastructure Engineer II / Control-M in Information Technology at Unum (Insurance, 10,001+ employees) Chose Control-M BMC Control-M has always been a leader in batch scheduling. I did support Tivoli Workload Automation for several years and I found it to be a good product as well. However I feel that BMC listens to the client community and betters the product based on their feedback. BMC's … Incentivized Helpful? Mark Francome Senior Systems Analyst in Information Technology at The Stamford Group (Stamford Consultants and Talentis) (Banking, 201-500 employees) Chose Control-M We last reviewed the market in 2001 (schedulers are long-term commitments!) and Control-M edged (by a very narrow margin) the Tivoli alternative, with Dollar Universe (now part of Automic) back in third place. We also tested the Tidal Software scheduler (now part of Cisco) but … Incentivized Helpful?	IBM No answer on this topic
