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

"We have seen a cost improvement from it."
"It is reliable. We have never had any unplanned crashes."
"We are able to control and change our processes when necessary."
"It has greatly increased our efficiencies and productivity, and reduced the amount of human interaction required."
"All the components that it can use to design work flow; process automation."
"It works. It does not fail. If something fails, it is not Automic."
"Designing workflows is made easier by the graphical user interface, simplifying complex tasks."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility of the tool."
"UiPath Orchestrator improves operational efficiency through its centralized dashboard and asset management."
"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."
"The support team is very responsive and effective in resolving issues promptly."
"The reporting features are good."
"I like UiPath Orchestrator's screen capture feature."
"It allows for the segregation of users, ensuring each user has access to specific environments based on their roles."
"One standout feature I like in UiPath Orchestrator is the scheduling capability."
"The tool's most valuable feature is reporting. Being on the business side, I need to report on the efficiency and the business case scenarios we build upon for the RPA. I need to find and analyze the relevant data."
 

Cons

"This solution's out-of-box automation sets could be improved. They could be industry standardized out-of-box, or even runbook automation processes could be useful—just some plug-and-play automation processes out-of-box. It has many integration capabilities, from APIs to databases, but if the customer sees some out-of-box automation processes in it, it could be useful."
"There are opportunities where things could be documented a little bit better."
"When you want to use the entirety of Automic, it is heavy."
"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 could be a better user interface for end users. They should make it more intuitive, not based on Java."
"We would also like improved SLR monitoring. There are SLR objects, but I can't define an SLR object plus one, or end days. I can only do it for one day. As we are time shifting to another day, it is not possible. This should be improved."
"The tool lacks interoperability features."
"Integration with the cloud is an area for improvement. They have to make it somehow fit or usable for cloud use cases. Right now, it works great for our on-prem data center, but they have to come up with a very good reason why people should be using it in the cloud."
"The product must provide process mining features."
"The solution must provide more AI capabilities."
"UiPath Orchestrator is sometimes a bit clunky, and a few things don't work in the tool as they should."
"We encounter errors while configuring and integrating the product with other vendors."
"There are overwhelming features added to UiPath Orchestrator, which can lead to complexities."
"I had faced issues with passwords and the monitoring feature."
"Limiting certain deployment scenarios and enforcing best practices could be beneficial."
"UiPath basic support has some limitations, however, the premium support levels provide more convenient coverage & response times."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You do not need any humans to start jobs, so you can save a lot of money."
"The pricing keeps going up, which is concerning."
"Our company had paid around 5,000 to 6,000 USD per license for a month."
"This is a support system for us, not our core business, so we purchased this product inexpensively."
"It costs too much. That's why we are now looking at other products."
"Automic Automation is costly."
"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."
"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."
"Larger organizations may benefit from more favorable pricing, as the costs can be distributed across more licenses."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"The product is expensive."
"The product is quite expensive."
"The product is expensive."
"UiPath Orchestrator's price is reasonable. We pay around 40k USD. Its licensing costs are yearly."
"UiPath Orchestrator is an expensive tool to implement."
"The product is expensive."
