One standout feature I like in UiPath Orchestrator is the scheduling capability. It simplifies task automation by allowing precise scheduling of processes. Another great advantage is the centralized data collection, which provides a comprehensive view of bot activity across different environments. This centralized logging is crucial for compliance and offers insights into bot performance and error logs.
One area for improvement in UiPath Orchestrator is enhancing automation for exceptional cases. Currently, there are scenarios where manual intervention is needed if something unexpected occurs. Having more automation features to handle such situations seamlessly would be beneficial, making the overall infrastructure more efficient and user-friendly.
A few additional functionalities that could make my experience even better would be having the ability to log local keywords and enhance the scheduling function would be great. Additionally, features like bot timers and optimizing password settings within Orchestrator, especially for password changes, would be highly appreciated, simplifying the password management process.
I have been working with UiPath Orchestrator for over four years.
I would rate the stability of the product as an eight out of ten. We have not had any major issues.
In terms of scalability, I would rate UiPath Orchestrator at an eight out of ten. The ability to scale up depends on having the correct design, but if done right, it can handle various company sizes—small, medium, or large.
UiPath Orchestrator compares favorably with solutions like Automation Anywhere's Control Room and Microsoft Power Automate. The reason I find UiPath Orchestrator better is its scalability, comprehensive features, regular addition of new functionalities, and its position as a leader in the RPA space.
The initial setup for UiPath Orchestrator has become much simpler with the shift to the cloud. Now, when we purchase a bot, whether attended or unattended, Orchestrator comes along. In the past, installing Orchestrator involved setting up a separate server, configuring a SQL MSSQL database, and ensuring specific requirements were met. However, with the current cloud architecture, these hassles are eliminated, and we only need to log in to the cloud and manage our organization.
I would rate the costliness of the product as a six out of ten.
As a user of UiPath Orchestrator, I have experienced the transition from on-premises to cloud-based Orchestrator. The cloud version eliminates the hassle of maintaining separate servers and databases. Now, I don't need to worry about infrastructure, and it is more convenient. However, ensuring the right ports and URLs are open for security can be a consideration.
Overall, I would rate UiPath Orchestrator as a seven out of ten.
