We use Control/M exclusively to schedule our TSM backups in our production environments. I'm not a Contol/M expert, but it seems to work well in our environment. The only problem I have had is that I don't get a view of the Control/M jobs in the TSM activity log. I don't see job statistics for the "outside" scheduled jobs. I think this is because the job output is routed to Control/M. This causes problems if you are using any add on's like TSMManager or others that rely on information in the activity log to gather information. There is probably a way to resolve this though I haven't had time to pursue it yet.
