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 company can expand with this product. Every time I bring in new ideas for solutions, it is with this product."
"It works. It does not fail. If something fails, it is not Automic."
"I use this automation solution, because it is very flexible. This automation solution supports a lot of computer platforms. Also, a lot of operating systems are supported other than automation solutions."
"Being able to script, create something I want the software to do for a specific job. This allows me to do that. Very powerful."
"Customers save a lot of money when they use this product, because of things like the scheduling tool."
"All the components that it can use to design work flow; process automation."
"It helps our efficiency because it is a batch processing tool which works without a menu."
"It will increase all delivery due to an impact on efficiency, in terms of time and faster resources."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it was a user-friendly product with an intuitive design."
"The focus on repeat application automation is valuable."
"The support team is very responsive and effective in resolving issues promptly."
"It allows for the segregation of users, ensuring each user has access to specific environments based on their roles."
"UiPath Orchestrator improves operational efficiency through its centralized dashboard and asset management."
"The centralized dashboard and asset management in UiPath Orchestrator have proven valuable in enhancing operational efficiency."
"The platform serves as a valuable tool for orchestrating solutions within an organization."
"Orchestrator's most valuable features include schedulers, queues, and integration with Splunk."
 

Cons

"The versioning and support for the lifecycle of Automic's developed solution is what we were missing. However, this is coming in version 12.2, so I am looking forward to seeing how it works."
"Every time we have an upgrade for a new version, we have stability problems, because the versions are not as good as they should be."
"Our users are used to the flatline of the UC4. When we introduced the AVI, they are not interested nor motivated to use it."
"Some of the things we don't do are mainly because we don't know how to do them. Hands-on training can be expensive, so we find other ways to work around things to forgo the hands-on training. It is also an issue because we are a Linux shop and most trainers are Windows-based."
"Integration with the cloud is an area for improvement. They have to make it somehow fit or usable for cloud use cases. Right now, it works great for our on-prem data center, but they have to come up with a very good reason why people should be using it in the cloud."
"Recent changes in Broadcom's licensing model are making some customers reduce tasks or replace Automic Automation. This is something Broadcom should consider."
"They should work to reduce pricing."
"ServiceNow creates problems with the Automic entry of the connector, so the stability could be a little bit better with this product."
"It's a bit difficult to connect to the licenses."
"The solution's deployment and architecture aspects could be improved."
"UiPath Orchestrator is sometimes a bit clunky, and a few things don't work in the tool as they should."
"We encounter errors while configuring and integrating the product with other vendors."
"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."
"There are overwhelming features added to UiPath Orchestrator, which can lead to complexities."
"UiPath Orchestrator needs to focus on dashboards."
"The solution’s licensing cost is high and could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing keeps going up, which is concerning."
"The cost of the solution depends on the number of systems that are being orchestrated."
"The pricing of Automic Automation varies depending on the specific contract terms."
"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."
"There are a lot of new features, but we do not use them because they are too expensive. The price point could be less."
"The solution seems expensive to me, but it does the job well."
"This solution is pretty well-priced."
"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."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
"The product is quite 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."
"UiPath Orchestrator is an expensive tool to implement."
"The product is expensive."
"The pricing is quite reasonable, particularly with the cloud version where Orchestrator is included in all other licenses at no additional cost."
"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."
"I rate UiPath Orchestrator's pricing a six out of ten."
