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 scalability is very good. We can scale it however we want."
"It is 100% stable. We have no downtime. We have 24/7 production throughout the year."
"You can create very fine, granular workflows with a lot of possibilities. It gives you the possibility to do things in many ways."
"The workflow allows us to integrate multiple applications into one flow and come up with a business result."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility of the tool. With a little bit of time and understanding, it is capable of completing any business use case we have encountered. There are many ways to achieve desired results without much issue."
"With the automation, we are able to provide background services. It is very economical and not possible to do manually."
"I have found new methods for converting scripts from Dollar U to ONE Automation. For example, I take the dynamic library from Dollar U and put it in the dynamic binary library in ONE Automation. This enables us to use Dollar U scripts in ONE Automation."
"It works. It does not fail. If something fails, it is not Automic."
"It was very simple to use and allowed us to easily record and manage activities."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"UiPath has one of the strongest community setups."
"The most beneficial feature is the queue system, which allows robots to process a large volume of data simultaneously."
"The logs are the best feature of the solution."
"The solution is easy to use."
"I also create user and machine templates and do other work in Orchestrator."
"UiPath Orchestration works effectively in deploying, scheduling, and running automated bots across different environments."
 

Cons

"I would like to see the event engine in the next release."
"Most of our issues are related to the system, not the job scheduling, such as, bugs and unexpected downtime of the application or database."
"I would like to see features from "Prompt" sets in read Masks."
"There is one missing part in the product concerning recurring tasks. You can schedule a recurring task by a context action, and run it as recurrent, but it creates a time container which can be quit and disappears."
"The support has declined somewhat over the years due to various takeovers. It's not as personal as it used to be."
"The new user interface AWI could improve. It is quite easy to use and work around, but it has lost some of the functionality that we used to have in our Vim client user interface."
"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."
"The search is sometimes a little bit slow."
"One area for improvement in UiPath Orchestrator is enhancing automation for exceptional cases."
"The licensing cost associated with the tool is too high. If the tool can reduce the license cost, most of the organizations will opt for it."
"The product must conduct more promotional activities and webinars."
"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."
"The solution’s licensing cost is high and could be improved."
"The product must provide process mining features."
"One of the significant challenges we've encountered with UiPath Orchestrator is the frequent and rapid changes in the tool's interface and functionality."
"The major issue is with the application according to the new version of the UI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is a support system for us, not our core business, so we purchased this product inexpensively."
"Pricing is competitive compared to other major vendors."
"It costs too much. That's why we are now looking at other products."
"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."
"Every time there is a task which must be repeated, the solution can reduce costs."
"It costs to scale. While, it is scalable, the add-ons are expensive."
"We have increased efficiency with this application."
"The pricing of Automic Automation varies depending on the specific contract terms."
"The product is expensive."
"The product is quite expensive."
"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 competitive."
"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 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."
"UiPath Orchestrator's price is reasonable. We pay around 40k USD. Its licensing costs are yearly."
"The product is expensive, and the associated licenses add to the expenses, initially making deploying new processes costly."
