Manages multiple version changes during development, but the user interface needs improvement
The deployment process could have been more straightforward. It involved enabling the service and choosing between small, medium, or large configurations, followed by reading the documentation to determine the best fit for our use case. However, the documentation provided is good. The installation of the service itself takes only a few minutes.
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.
