Peter Grundler - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps to move away from manual tasks and offers wide platform support and web-based interface
Customers want to move away from manual monitoring and checking processes. Automating these processes helps in time-saving and reduces human error. When you automate business processes, it reduces mistakes. It eliminates the risk of manual errors such as typos. There is a 20% to 30% reduction in human error. It fulfills all the needs when it comes to visibility and control across various operating platforms. It is the perfect product for managing processes that span multiple operating platforms. Automic Automation has the widest platform support compared to other products, such as Control-M, Tivoli from IBM, or Stonebranch. It definitely helps with compliance processes. We have had a lot of customers for two years with a focus on compliance, and it works. They were successful. Due to the fact that our customers can automate a lot of things, it reduces operating costs. It is hard to give a number because the savings are different for each customer. If a customer never had any automation, there could be about 80% savings after implementing Automic Automation, whereas for a customer who already has automated tasks, the difference will be less by adding Automic Automation. They might see 5% to 10% more savings. Automic Automation helps improve our ability to meet SLAs. In the recent versions, SLA management has been integrated, which previously was an external component. Because a lot of customers used it and asked Broadcom to implement SLA management into the workload engine, Broadcom included it. We see more and more customers running their SLA management via the Automic Automation product.

Improves operational efficiency through its centralized dashboard and asset management
There are overwhelming features added to UiPath Orchestrator, which can lead to complexities. Permissions, roles, and queues sometimes result in conflicts, requiring deeper understanding. I would prefer if the tool was more intuitive and it is important to maintain simplicity instead of combining multiple functionalities, potentially through different licensing models to restrict features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the connectors Automic has provided or the agents that give me the flexibility to connect to various source and target systems. It's pretty easy to manage complex workloads using Automic. Its user interface makes it easier for us to manage."
"It has greatly increased our efficiencies and productivity, and reduced the amount of human interaction required."
"It has its own object-oriented scripting language and you can reload your object in many different places."
"The ease of use is valuable. It is very intuitive."
"We use it to automate our business."
"A good piece of software is like a good referee. If it's doing good, you don't notice it. That's the good thing about Automic. We don't even notice that it's there a lot of the time. It's a very, very stable product."
"The new release is web-based, so that's a big, big improvement. A lot of our products are going to that platform."
"We can run the solution on both cloud and on-prem environments."
"The most beneficial feature is the queue system, which allows robots to process a large volume of data simultaneously."
"UiPath has one of the strongest community setups."
"UiPath Orchestration works effectively in deploying, scheduling, and running automated bots across different environments."
"UiPath Orchestrator improves operational efficiency through its centralized dashboard and asset management."
"UiPath Orchestrator has helped us by replacing manual processes with automation."
"It allows for the segregation of users, ensuring each user has access to specific environments based on their roles."
"One standout feature I like in UiPath Orchestrator is the scheduling capability."
"It was very simple to use and allowed us to easily record and manage activities."
 

Cons

"The support has declined somewhat over the years due to various takeovers. It's not as personal as it used to be."
"We would like some advantages, which we had with the Java UI, with the automation engine."
"The vendor support is really bad and should be improved."
"We would also like improved SLR monitoring. There are SLR objects, but I can't define an SLR object plus one, or end days. I can only do it for one day. As we are time shifting to another day, it is not possible. This should be improved."
"We can't migrate the users from one master to another master or product to product. We have to do it manually."
"The new UI feels unready. It makes your browsers crash."
"They need to refine the system basics instead of adding more features."
"We would like to see more dashboarding into the product, maybe an embedded Java API which we would be able to load on our own."
"One area for improvement in UiPath Orchestrator is enhancing automation for exceptional cases."
"UiPath Orchestrator needs to focus on dashboards."
"There are overwhelming features added to UiPath Orchestrator, which can lead to complexities."
"The solution must provide more AI capabilities."
"The vendor should provide free certification to their partners."
"It takes us time to understand the process before we can publish it. Its pricing needs to be lower, and there needs to be a centralized dashboard."
"There are overwhelming features added to UiPath Orchestrator, which can lead to complexities."
"The tool makes the laptops slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of arrays is high. If you want to buy an array for an application, and see value from it, you need about half a million dollars. That is too expensive."
"Broadcom has recently changed its licensing model. I do not deal with pricing, but from what I heard from customers is that due to the increased pricing, some of them are thinking of reducing tasks in Automic to have fewer executions. Others are thinking of replacing Automic Automation."
"Pricing is a big issue for some of them because Broadcom changed the way of calculating the price. People have been their customers for the last five or ten years, but Broadcom decided to change the way of licensing by moving to the number of jobs runs and then they say that clients have to pay three million because they run one million jobs per day. The clients are quite surprised to see that the contract is not the same as before, and then they are afraid of paying more."
"They have changed the pricing on their licensing, and it's cheaper than before."
"This is a support system for us, not our core business, so we purchased this product inexpensively."
"The cost of the solution depends on the number of systems that are being orchestrated."
"Automic Automation is costly."
"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The product is expensive."
"Larger organizations may benefit from more favorable pricing, as the costs can be distributed across more licenses."
"The product is expensive, and the associated licenses add to the expenses, initially making deploying new processes costly."
"The products are available for free on the cloud, and even it is the same to a certain extent for the on-premises version. The pricing is included as a part of the license of the robot from UiPath."
"The pricing is quite reasonable, particularly with the cloud version where Orchestrator is included in all other licenses at no additional cost."
"The product’s pricing is a little higher than reasonable."
"The pricing is reasonable and competitive."
"I rate UiPath Orchestrator's pricing a six out of ten."
