I am a Services Director in a small tech services company. What licensing options are available for Control-M?
MarkFrancomeTask-based or, alternatively, a fixed number of Agents. Task-based would, I feel, be much more popular in the market. I have worked ta sites that license anything from 5,000 to 500,000 jobs (i.e. tasks) per day. However, if you only use a few Agent servers then maybe Agent-based might work for you.
Really big customers can also do "all you can eat" deals on the BMC range.
reviewer1657833 (AVP - Systems Engineer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees)BMC also has a SaaS-based solution called BMC Helix Control-M. I believe this is charged via the task licensing model where you pay for a certain number of jobs.
Mark Francome (Allianz)@reviewer1657833 Yes, the new addition is BMC Helix Control-M, a cloud-based solution where you pay per job. From the pricing models I have seen it is very competitively priced and could save large organisations a tidy sum. This is not to be confused with the Control-M Agents that can run in the cloud (to execute your batch jobs) where the Control-M Server stays on-prem and is the traditional config.
I am a member of the core team at an insurance company that handles architectural concerns.
We are currently evaluating workflow automation platforms that have microservices. From your experience which is the best platform?
Thanks! I appreciate the help.
