Which user interface? There are at least 3 of them, and one of them is quite new. z/OS DFSMSrmm started offering a z/OS Management Facility plug-in fairly recently, and it’s seen some improvements already.

Re: tape management from BMC
Hi We moved from CA1 to Control-M a few years ago, and then to DFSMSrmm a few years after that move. The first move was due to CA pricing, the second one was due to outsourcing policy. Between those three, I would say that rmm has an unfriendly user interface, but I suppose that is just the IBM way. I really liked Control-M ease of use. CA1 was, and I am sure it still is, a great product, and the transition to Control-My was easy to do. The transition to rmm was more painful due to the user interface not being very intuitive. If I had to chose one now I would go with Control-M.

Re: tape management from BMC
At my last gig we were all BMC-Control products, I've been impressed but the ease of installation / implementation and management of tape and of the CONTROL-T product, however - I have no experience with the CONTROL-M Extension Pack the migration from CA-1 to BMC CONTROL-T was done prior to me starting.

tape management from BMC
Hi list, Does anybody have experience with BMC's "Control-M Mainframe Extension Pack" which purports to be a tape management system? I had never heard of it and would like to know how it stacks up against "the big 3", CA-1, TLMS, and Dfsms/rmm.
