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

"I like the connectors Automic has provided or the agents that give me the flexibility to connect to various source and target systems. It's pretty easy to manage complex workloads using Automic. Its user interface makes it easier for us to manage."
"It is flexible. We can do additional scripting in Automic script, in combination with JSL language."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the scheduler."
"We implemented the solution about 20 years ago when we switched from our legacy mainframe systems. We were looking for a scheduler to replace the one in our new SAP systems, as the SAP system scheduler wasn't considered robust enough. The solution was chosen to replace SAP scheduling at that time."
"The user interface is very simple and straightforward."
"It reduces operational costs and increases quality."
"We have all of our payroll being done in the platform. There are a lot of different processes that need to be taken care of, and they all need to be linked together. When you put them into a workflow, and you know that you've built logic into that workflow, and you have alerting, it's something you can step back from. You don't have to be worried about every single piece of that puzzle. If something goes wrong, you have confidence that some alerting will let you know. It streamlines, it makes things go faster, less eyes on glass."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility of the tool."
"The focus on repeat application automation is valuable."
"The monitoring feature stands out as the single most indispensable aspect of UiPath Orchestrator for our automation processes."
"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."
"Using UiPath Orchestrator, we can deploy tasks across different environments, including virtual machines, for both attended and unattended processes."
"It was very simple to use and allowed us to easily record and manage activities."
"UiPath Orchestrator is considered the brain of the system."
"UiPath has one of the strongest community setups."
"Orchestrator's most valuable features include schedulers, queues, and integration with Splunk."
 

Cons

"The frustration that we have probably had in the past is where CA tools run for a period of time, then they get deprecated, and you have to build a new one."
"The vendor support is really bad and should be improved."
"Today, we use a rich client for this product. In the future, or for the next release, they will be using a web interface. This web interface is not as scalable as the rich client for us. The web client is not 100 percent programmed as we need it."
"They could improve by providing more control features for schedules. For example, we can hold a job, and then it could stop the job in the actual end application. They could improve such capabilities."
"From a features perspective, we still need some agents to connect to specific systems that Automic doesn't have. Expanding their available agents would make the tool more compatible with various systems that other customers may have."
"The search is sometimes a little bit slow."
"Automic Workload Automation could improve the SaaS deployment."
"There were many bugs in the last version. For example, we could only use capital letters for searching for agent names. Also, we had a problem with ONE Automation where we couldn't use the PGA and SGA in Oracle Databases for resolving RAM because the last version didn't have this capability."
"UiPath Orchestrator should improve its UI and make it more user-friendly."
"Limiting certain deployment scenarios and enforcing best practices could be beneficial."
"The solution’s licensing cost is high and could be improved."
"It's a bit difficult to connect to the licenses."
"I am interested in seeing more features like document understanding and AI integration."
"There are overwhelming features added to UiPath Orchestrator, which can lead to complexities."
"UiPath basic support has some limitations, however, the premium support levels provide more convenient coverage & response times."
"It is challenging to accurately define text within images for the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the solution depends on the number of systems that are being orchestrated."
"The pricing was client-wise, but they are changing it to execution-wise pricing. So, we are in negotiation."
"Our company had paid around 5,000 to 6,000 USD per license for a month."
"It costs to scale. While, it is scalable, the add-ons are expensive."
"There are a lot of new features, but we do not use them because they are too expensive. The price point could be less."
"We cannot use all the functions because they are too expensive."
"The pricing keeps going up, which is concerning."
"The solution seems expensive to me, but it does the job well."
"The product’s pricing is competitive."
"UiPath Orchestrator is an expensive tool to implement."
"The solution's price is high. We have subscribed to 15 licenses which are paid on a yearly basis. We don't pay any additional costs for support and maintenance."
"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 product is 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."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
