Featured Reviews

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

"The most important and critical process business in the bank, including COB, close of business, which has to run on a daily basis, is automated."
"The most valuable features are its robustness, it's highly scalable, and it's easy to implement."
"It works to automate business processes over all the systems. You have a central point where you can automate everything."
"Automic Automation's primary advantage over competitors lies in its robust SAP integration."
"It's pretty stable. After implementation, there hasn't been a single event where we shifted our jobs for the day from automated to manual."
"It works. It does not fail. If something fails, it is not Automic."
"Unlike other Orchestration or Workload Automation tools, Automic Workload Automation stands out as a versatile single solution capable of handling various use cases such as business process automation, workload automation, service orchestration, and PR automation. There's no need for additional tools to make it compatible with your specific use case. Automic Workload Automation can handle it all without requiring any sideline tools to be installed."
"The modulation of some of the things, like how the things are connected and disconnected. You have different login objects that you can quickly put to other different objects and other objects that you create, which makes transporting things very easy from one environment to the next."
"The most beneficial feature is the queue system, which allows robots to process a large volume of data simultaneously."
"UiPath Orchestrator improves operational efficiency through its centralized dashboard and asset management."
"The focus on repeat application automation is valuable."
"I also create user and machine templates and do other work in Orchestrator."
"The product helps to monitor our automation process and keep statistics. When not dealing with just one process, we utilize the business process. From there, we obtain the necessary answers, and the robot completes the process accordingly. We keep on improving our processes to become more effective. Hence, we start with a small process."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The support team is very responsive and effective in resolving issues promptly."
"UiPath Orchestration works effectively in deploying, scheduling, and running automated bots across different environments."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in reporting. There is a lack of reporting capabilities."
"There are some problems when using the new interface."
"The manage file transfer area could be better. The file transfer area needs improvement. Other products like Control-M have some good features in this area."
"The new user interface needs improvement. The previous version was good and stable. Now, we have to check the new one before using a web browser. It is not stable."
"For the user interface of version 12.1, I cannot find a lot of utilities and objects from previous versions, making me change my habits. This is not good."
"In case we run into performance issues, it is sometimes hard to find out what is the real cause for it."
"The tool lacks interoperability features."
"There is room for improvement in reporting. There is a lack of reporting capabilities."
"The credential vault is generic and does not have process categorization. The tool needs to arrange a Customer Success Manager for support. It should also improve the credential manager and integrate a customized form of retrieving the details. There should be more dashboards as well."
"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."
"UiPath basic support has some limitations, however, the premium support levels provide more convenient coverage & response times."
"Limiting certain deployment scenarios and enforcing best practices could be beneficial."
"The vision libraries that the tool provides, along with the visualization part, are areas with shortcomings in the solution where improvements are required."
"Clarity on integrating SQL databases and server configurations would improve implementation processes."
"The solution's pricing can be more competitive. Apache is one of the most expensive alternatives in the market. The integration with reporting tools and classic solutions is essential. Having BI integration, Salesforce integration, and robust monitoring and reporting capabilities would enhance the product."
"UiPath Orchestrator needs to focus on dashboards."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is competitive compared to other major vendors."
"We cannot use all the functions because they are too expensive."
"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."
"Certain licenses can be a bit expensive. The PeopleSoft agents, in particular, are a bit pricey."
"Automic Automation's pricing is excellent, especially in comparison to similar solutions."
"They have increased the license price a little bit. It is more than what we expected about two years ago. So, there could be some surprises when it comes to pricing."
"You do not need any humans to start jobs, so you can save a lot of money."
"Initially, the pricing was competitive but consistently, year over year, its pricing has become more erratic. It increases to the point where even with the positives, it starts to become a longer-term question about how it will fit into the environment."
"UiPath Orchestrator's price is reasonable. We pay around 40k USD. Its licensing costs are yearly."
"The product is quite expensive."
"UiPath Orchestrator is an expensive tool to implement."
"The product is expensive."
"The solution's price is high. We have subscribed to 15 licenses which are paid on a yearly basis. We don't pay any additional costs for support and maintenance."
"The tool's licensing cost is high. I rate the tool an eight or nine on a scale from one to ten, where ten means expensive."
"The solution is very expensive. Compared to Microsoft, another tool that is much cheaper than the tool, it does not have the same features that UiPath Orchestrator has. The most valuable feature in my platform is the queue items in UiPath Orchestrator to evaluate the products using this feature."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
