Helps automate all kinds of jobs and it's worth the price because it saves a lot of time and money

Pros

"Where I see it working best is when we are trying to automate jobs."

Cons

"One problem that I had with them when we got SMA Technologies is that sometimes the jobs fail, but they automatically restart. SMA Technologies automatically gets a notification that the job has failed, and they restart it on their end, so now, we have the job restarting twice. There were times when we came into the office in the morning, and we had two files because the job ran twice. "

Helped automate 3,000 processes, save hours, and provide work-life balance for our team

Pros

"The biggest thing that we like about OpCon is how easy it is to trust it once we put the automation in place. Once we put whatever that job or schedule is, if we have the proper settings and conditions and we understand the components of OpCon in itself, we can go from a manual process to an automated process. We allow our team to get time to rest and have time to handle other things."

Cons

"The only thing that we have been talking about with the vendor is the Solution Manager tool that we have. It is a great tool. It is getting replaced by another tool that is probably called Enterprise Manager. We just had a few complaints about it. The navigation of that new tool is a little bit more arbitrary than what we have been used to. "

Works very well for complex tasks, but the GUI is old-fashioned

Pros

"Coming from the Control-M world, one of the things I like about OpCon is that I can sometimes do complex tasks with simple jobs."

Cons

"The GUI is very old-fashioned compared to Control-M, for example. They should prioritize the GUI."

Helps minimize errors, manage more complex schedules, and provides immediate value

Pros

"I find OpCon's ability to monitor files and folders, and its integration with other software to be the most valuable."

Cons

"The UI refresh rate is really bad and needs improvement."

A game-changing automation platform that seamlessly orchestrates complex workflows, enhances efficiency, provides self-service capabilities and delivers exceptional reliability

Pros

"Among the numerous valuable features, one standout capability is the implementation of self-service buttons."

Cons

"I believe there's room for improvement, and while I think it's something they are considering, I would welcome seeing OpCon integrate with a broader range of systems and third-party products."

Provides a single point of control, helps save staff time, and automates hundreds of processes

Pros

"My favorite feature is the dashboard feature, which shows jobs that are running, and completed, any failures, and provides dashboard reporting."

Cons

"I would like OpCon to implement a reporting feature on the dashboard that displays historical data for specific jobs. Ideally, this feature would allow us to view the past seven days or the next seven days, but with a specific focus on highlighting instances where a particular job has historically failed, particularly on Saturdays over the past year."

Streamlines operations and enhances efficiency while minimizing errors

Pros

"The most valuable feature of OpCon is its scheduling capability, particularly for automating file transfers with vendors."

It cuts down on the workload by reducing the need for human intervention and the risk of human error

Pros

"I rate OpCon support 10 out of 10. I've never had a problem with them. I've always been able to get answers quickly and always seem to find a knowledgeable person to assist with any questions. "

Cons

"The learning curve could be shorter. The problem is that it's difficult to simplify a product without taking away functionality. I would love to see OpCon become a little easier to grasp. However, my concern is that making things easier isn't always better for the product. If they can keep the integrity of the product while making it easier to learn, that would be an area of improvement."
