BMC Control-M Alternative: Stop Paying More For Less
No one likes BMC Control-M’s surprise overage costs, which is exactly why we make sure you stay in control of your costs, processes, and jobs. Redwood takes the guesswork out of workload automation:
- Eliminate surprise cost overages and complex licensing models
- More functionality out of the box without costly modules and connectors
- Experienced 24×7 proactive support and dedicated Customer Success
- Proven results migrating customers to RunMyJobs
Avoid The Business Risk Of Legacy Scheduling Tools
BMC’s Control-M job scheduling technology can’t compete in a world where technology is rapidly evolving and enterprises innovate and optimize. With security issues, manual processes, costly add-ons and one of the highest TCOs in the industry, Control-M just doesn’t cut it. And the fact that multiple licenses and products are needed for file transfer activity, change management tools and application workflow doesn’t help its cause.
Automation And Orchestration For The Enterprise
Using Control-M in the modern digital landscape leaves you open to risk around reliability, functionality and cost. It means that you lack the flexibility to respond to changing customer expectations and business needs.
For an independent perspective, in their “2021 Global IT Automation” report, leading analyst firm Enterprise Management Associates® (EMA) shares findings from over 400 leading enterprises that are leveraging IT and business process automation today and into the future and why businesses are moving from legacy tools like BMC Control-M to a modern SaaS workload automation and process orchestration solution like Redwood.

Should I migrate to a BMC Control-M alternative?
BMC’s Control-M solution is based on an architecture that is not well-suited to the needs of a modern enterprise. It requires a large installation footprint that is burdensome and time-consuming to update when security patches are needed. It has high operational and administrative costs as a result. A solution that performs more automation through agentless APIs and offers updates that upgrade every element simultaneously in minutes is significantly easier to run. See how Redwood’s SaaS delivery allows IT organizations to focus on automation not administration.
Would a BMC Control-M alternative reduce my TCO?
Yes. For example, Redwood’s SaaS architecture eliminates overhead for infrastructure and ongoing maintenance of the workload automation platform. Redwood also includes all features with unlimited connections to applications, services and servers, without licensing additional plugins. With Redwood’s simple pricing model, you only pay for the jobs you run, gaining enterprise-grade flexibility and scalability to help you grow. Explore why Redwood’s unified cloud platform lowers ownership costs.
What is Workload Automation Software?
Workload Automation solutions are used to manage data and dependencies across disparate tools such as managed file transfers/ETL tools, business process applications, enterprise resource planning (ERP) tools, BI platforms, and more.
Workload Automation solutions often provide universal connectors and/or powerful REST API adapters that make it possible to integrate virtually any tool into an end-to-end process, without the need for custom scripts.
