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

"It is flexible. We can do additional scripting in Automic script, in combination with JSL language."
"There are a lot of features which help us get a stable application. It is easy to have a stable production line, because this app supports us very well."
"We use the FTP agent excessively, and the connection is easy to handle between our company and the outside."
"The monitoring and troubleshooting features are rich and with the dashboards and other features, automation work is made easier."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the scheduler."
"I like the script engine of CA, where you can build everything you want."
"It saves my customers time, money, resources, and efficiency."
"Compared to other products, the stability is remarkable."
"UiPath Orchestrator is considered the brain of the system."
"From the technical side, I have not found any issues with the tool."
"UiPath Orchestrator improves operational efficiency through its centralized dashboard and asset management."
"I like UiPath Orchestrator's screen capture feature."
"The centralized login feature greatly helps because we can also use the Active Directory feature. We do not need to create a new user. We can connect with a user from a company, and we can add all the groups they have to set the features for a specific group. We do not need to do that for each user, and we can do that for a specific role we have in the company. I think this helps a lot."
"UiPath Orchestrator has helped us by replacing manual processes with automation."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it was a user-friendly product with an intuitive design."
"UiPath Orchestrator has helped us by replacing manual processes with automation."
 

Cons

"My biggest complaint is that there is no list price. We work with Oracle, Microsoft, IBM, etc., and all of them have list pricing. Automic, right up until today, has never had list pricing. This makes things difficult, because we need to plan budgets for the next year and can't."
"There are too many bugs to be solved after a version upgrade. We are working on the limits of an architecture with 16,000 platforms. It is impossible to test everything out in the software lab of CA."
"It seems still very technical to get the full features out... Once you get to some of the leadership levels, such as myself, you don't have time to go digging into it. It would be nice to have some additional performance features such as reporting, analytics."
"There is room for improvement in reporting. There is a lack of reporting capabilities."
"In terms of what can be improved, we are in Israel, so we work in Hebrew. Now they are starting to move it also from English to Hebrew and to support the language, but for us it has been very difficult because the Hebrew looks like gibberish. So there are language issues."
"The SSH agent is missing in version 12.1. Maybe it would be a good addition to see on the web client of the next version of Atomic."
"The user interface could be a little more user-friendly, as it is not the best out there."
"We would like a way to test our cloud-based automations on-premises, and then migrate them to the cloud after they have been tested, without needing an additional license."
"I am interested in seeing more features like document understanding and AI integration."
"UiPath Orchestrator should improve its UI and make it more user-friendly."
"One of the significant challenges we've encountered with UiPath Orchestrator is the frequent and rapid changes in the tool's interface and functionality."
"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 major issue is with the application according to the new version of the UI."
"One area for improvement in UiPath Orchestrator is enhancing automation for exceptional cases."
"The credential vault is generic and does not have process categorization. The tool needs to arrange a Customer Success Manager for support. It should also improve the credential manager and integrate a customized form of retrieving the details. There should be more dashboards as well."
"The tool makes the laptops slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is pretty well-priced."
"The pricing keeps going up, which is concerning."
"Our company had paid around 5,000 to 6,000 USD per license for a month."
"I'm not sure about licensing costs, but I know the base price is about $3,000, and you can get some kind of discount per node."
"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."
"Automic Automation is costly."
"It has helped us reduce costs."
"The pricing is based on the number of servers and agents."
"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."
"UiPath Orchestrator is an expensive tool to implement."
"Larger organizations may benefit from more favorable pricing, as the costs can be distributed across more licenses."
"The product is expensive."
"The product is quite expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable and competitive."
"UiPath Orchestrator's price is reasonable. We pay around 40k USD. Its licensing costs are yearly."
"The product’s pricing is competitive."
