Featured Reviews

Pedro Fuentes - PeerSpot reviewer
Cost-effective, excellent support, and centralized access and control
They have a department that handles requests for enhancements. I talked to Control-M guys back in October or November when they had a gathering here in Atlanta. We talked about not being able to go back in history in Helix Control-M for more than two weeks. We submitted a request for enhancement. They told us that they are working on it, and they are thinking of expanding that to 30 days. We would like to see it expand to 90 days, but they are working on it. In Control-M, we were able to go back 180 days, but that was on-prem. The storage of that data was on our own servers. We know that storage is money, and we do not expect them to store that much of the data, but at least 30 to 60 days seem proper.
Utpal Shah - PeerSpot reviewer
Has monitoring features, activity logs, and scheduling capabilities
I haven't faced many challenges with UiPath Orchestrator. Previously, it was on-premises, but having clear documentation on how to transition between on-premises and cloud-based setups would be beneficial. Clarity on integrating SQL databases and server configurations would also improve implementation processes. In terms of technical feedback, I believe UiPath Orchestrator has progressed well over the last few years, with many activities and expansions. However, there's still room for improvement, especially in the user interface.
