Vinitha Kundawad - PeerSpot reviewer
Network Implementation Engineer at Cisco
Automation of IT support has reduced repetitive tasks and now improves service efficiency
I believe that Aisera's AI Copilot could be improved with a more simplified initial implementation. There should be more out-of-the-box workflows as we have within other AI Copilots, and there should also be improved troubleshooting dashboards and better visibility for us to make AI decision-making. Additionally, while the support quality is generally good, I see that the implementation success depends heavily on planning, knowledge readiness, and integration design, but the customer support experience could be improved. I believe there are improvements needed that I haven't mentioned yet, including measurable productivity benefits and good enterprise integrations, which will also be appreciated. Since our success depends on data quality, that should also be improved, and the initial implementation must also see improvements so that we have a faster onboarding experience and easier performance and ROI reporting.

Brings data together from multiple platforms and optimizes cross-environment orchestration
The features of Control-M that I like the most include the ability to easily integrate or bring in different platforms into Control-M. For instance, AWS, mainframe, TWS, and something that's running on Autosys can all be brought into Control-M, converted to how Control-M runs it, and then the batch can be executed. This centralizes various applications in Control-M, which doesn't just have to handle batch processes, but also other tasks like reporting on required data. I find this functionality very useful and the setup is impressive, with more advancements yet to come. With Control-M, my company has achieved several measurable improvements since I started. The metrics indicate that the number of failures has dropped, and we have addressed the issue of excessive false alerts that I encountered when I joined. Previously, we received an overwhelming number of alerts daily, but now we manage to maintain that at a normalized level, perhaps around five to fifteen alerts, depending on running core batches and their setup.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Aisera's AI Copilot has achieved up to 75% automation of user requests, which is going to reduce our 80% consumer operation costs."
"Overall, Aisera's AI Copilot has become much more than a helpdesk tool for me; it is a central nervous system connecting employees to information and IT support across the entire organization."
"I definitely recommend Control-M; it is quite stable, scalable, and the ease of administration is good as well."
"The product has enhanced the interface with a clear visual display of data and process batches, showing the completion status of workflows."
"Control-M is the center for all of the applications, where it acts as the mediator between the application and the servers."
"Issue resolution, with Control-M in place, is about 90 percent faster, because most of the issues are resolved without intervention."
"Control-M has positively impacted our organization as we have saved a lot of time and money by utilizing its features, which we found to be very convenient compared to other workload automation tools."
"There are capabilities that Control-M offers that are good and I can see it being a very good product."
"It has absolutely saved us time; it has made us more efficient, and as far as the processing between systems, we don't have as many people because they have been able to focus on other efforts as we have been able to automate more stuff with Control-M."
"Control-M acts as a one-stop shop to check the status of all jobs."
 

Cons

"There are several areas for improvement. First, hallucination control: being an LLM-based system, Aisera's AI Copilot occasionally generates confident but incorrect answers."
"I believe that Aisera's AI Copilot could be improved with a more simplified initial implementation."
"A lot of businesses are using ServiceNow, which is another tool. I would like there to be some integration with ServiceNow or other third-party tools as well as have easily available integrations. Right now, we need to write scripts. Apart from that, if there were some integrations with an ITSM tool, then that would be good. Because at the end of the day, most of our clients are using different ITSM tools. I know that BMC Remedy is easy to integrate with Control-M. However, if there was availability for Jira as well as other ITSM and DevOps tools, that would be a good improvement."
"I talked to Control-M guys back in October or November when they had a gathering here in Atlanta. We talked about not being able to go back in history in Helix Control-M for more than two weeks. We submitted a request for enhancement. They told us that they are working on it, and they are thinking of expanding that to 30 days. We would like to see it expand to 90 days, but they are working on it."
"The high availability that comes from BMC with its supplied Postgres database is very limited. Even using your customer-supplied Postgres database is problematic."
"It can definitely expand promotions, so that a single job can be moved. Currently you can only promote a job by promoting the entire table."
"I've never been very successful when researching ways to utilize Batch Impact Manager. It's a tool to set up dummy jobs in your job flow and it's supposed to come back to you and say, 'Okay, for this job flow, you are 50 percent complete at a certain point in time'...I would like things like Batch Impact Manager to be a little more user-friendly, out-of-the-box."
"BMC support is clueless on the new issues that arise."
"Its pricing is high, and its architecture is old."
"Most improvements are related to cloud connectivity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Yearly licenses are based on the number of jobs."
"Its pricing and licensing could be a little bit better. Based on my experience and discussions with other existing customers, everybody feels that the regular Managed File Transfer piece, not the enterprise one, is a little overpriced, especially for folks who already have licensed Advanced File Transfer. We understand that Advanced File Transfer is going away and is going to be the end of life, and there is some additional functionality built into MFT, but the additional functionality does not really correlate with the huge price increase over what we're paying for AFT already. This has actually driven a lot of people to look for alternative solutions."
"It depends. It's packaged in such a way that you can buy the base model without all of the fancy stuff. You can try and keep your price similar to competitors. I guess it's natural throughout the world. It doesn't matter whether you're buying cell phones or something else. The best cell phone will always be more expensive."
"One of the restrictions that we had was with some of the licensing, and not having any insight on the financials part of the product. I don't know what the licensing on the product is, but we don't have an unlimited enterprise license. So, there might be a limitation on either the cost of the licensing or the number of seats."
"You're going to spend a lot of money upfront, but the benefits you're going to get out of it are going to quickly pay for it."
"The cost is basically $100 a job, give or take."
"We have a license till 2024. We are good and satisfied with it."
"It was a little bit pricey. They were proud of the product. A particular module was not free. However, BMC was able to negotiate that particular module into our whole contract itself without having to negotiate an individual price for that module. All that was included in a one-time negotiation, and we've signed a five-year contract on that."
