Featured Reviews

Vijay Subramanyam - PeerSpot reviewer
Robust, reliable, and stable, ensuring high availability for critical integrations
I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten; it is a highly scalable solution. We have around 200 end users using this solution in our company. We use it to its maximum capacity. However, it's not for P1 applications, but definitely for severity two cases (P2 level). It integrates critical applications, but it's not a platform that, if it stops, the entire system would come down. So, it's more like a severity two level. However, it has the potential to eventually become a P1 platform. Not exactly P1 applications, but a P1 platform. Because now we are still in the transition to migrate everything, all the integrations to Mule Anypoint Platform. But once it's done, then this platform becomes critical. Because even now, we have point-to-point connections.
Bantu Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
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 valuable feature of Mule Anypoint Platform is rapid development."
"It reduces manual loads in maintaining servers as it comes with the Cloud Hub feature."
"It's easy to develop APIs."
"The tool helps with order management and automates the enterprise's orchestration, invoice creation, product maintenance, and product life cycle. The API manager feature helps us configure, secure, and call APIs."
"The most valuable feature is the variety of characters Anypoint Platform has. It is very scalable and customizable."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"The initial setup is quite easy because the solution has a good interface through which the configuration, mapping, and so on can be done."
"Customers can make use of Runtime Fabric, an RTF environment."
"Assets and logs are valuable."
"The tool's most valuable feature is reporting. Being on the business side, I need to report on the efficiency and the business case scenarios we build upon for the RPA. I need to find and analyze the relevant data."
"It was very simple to use and allowed us to easily record and manage activities."
"The most beneficial feature is the queue system, which allows robots to process a large volume of data simultaneously."
"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."
"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 support team is very responsive and effective in resolving issues promptly."
 

Cons

"From a monitoring point of view, MuleSoft Anypoint Platform can improve on tracking transactions."
"The tool requires programming language."
"The pricing can be a little bit less."
"Mule Anypoint Platform could improve by having more up-to-date adapters to do work in a digital space."
"Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced...Mule Anypoint Platform can get too complex for non-technical people."
"Mule Anypoint Platform should improve its pricing. In my experience, a customer using the sandbox version couldn't upgrade to the final version because it exceeded their budget. Another area for improvement is the login mechanism. We need to integrate with third-party products for strong authentication, but it would be better if MuleSoft had its own robust login mechanism."
"An on-premise setup requires special skills and you need a lot of professional services."
"The solution is very costly. The solution should provide a package with fewer capabilities at a lower price for specific companies that don’t have a big IT budget. Not every customer requires all the capabilities of the software. It will be a good fit in the market, and they will easily sell it more."
"It is challenging to accurately define text within images for the product."
"We encounter errors while configuring and integrating the product with other vendors."
"The major issue is with the application according to the new version of the UI."
"I am interested in seeing more features like document understanding and AI integration."
"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."
"In my opinion, some improvements could be made in the UiPath Orchestrator. For example, it's not so simple to see all the time triggers that we have. We need to check each folder and see all the triggers to see what kind of robot will run. We do not have all the triggers in one place, showing the time they will run and for which process in each folder. Another thing is that the tool for monitoring processes does not show the relation between the process and the machines running them. We can check which machine is available or not because it is running a process, but we cannot see the process and the machine running it in one view."
"The vendor should provide free certification to their partners."
"Limiting certain deployment scenarios and enforcing best practices could be beneficial."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Mule Anypoint Platform is an expensive solution."
"The product's price seems to be competent in comparison to other products in the market."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is affordable."
"The pricing of our solution is highly competitive. While it may not be categorized as exceptionally low, it is certainly more affordable compared to IBM."
"UiPath Orchestrator's price is reasonable. We pay around 40k USD. Its licensing costs are yearly."
"I rate UiPath Orchestrator's pricing a six out of ten."
"The pricing seems reasonable based on project requirements."
"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 product’s pricing is competitive."
"The pricing is reasonable and competitive."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"The product is quite expensive."
