Featured Reviews

Antony Askew - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps us manage complex workloads, reduce our workload failure rates, and save us time
The visibility and control features are somewhat limited. This is a recognized weakness, but thee vendor is currently revamping the user interface to address it. While the current UI is a bit outdated, it's undergoing improvement. AutoSys Workload Automation has some areas for improvement, particularly in housekeeping and product maintenance. These tasks are currently quite manual and labor-intensive for our team. Additionally, the reporting and forecasting functionalities could be more robust. One area for improvement with AutoSys Workload Automation is that it comprises several distinct tools configured to work together. This necessitates familiarity with multiple tools for effective solution management. Consequently, it can sometimes lack a sense of cohesiveness as a unified solution.
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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Integration with multiple services and applications across the enterprise."
"We use technical support all the time. We would be lost without them. They're fantastic. Really good job. We're able to reach the right person to help us out right away."
"The features that I have found most valuable with AutoSys are that it is scalable, easy to use, fast, and always available. That's very important because if it's not steady then it's a real problem. So, at this point, we are satisfied with it."
"The scheduling feature allows us to know when jobs are going to run and makes sure they run in the order needed."
"Automation of patch process."
"It is stable, it works, and it does what it is supposed to."
"AutoSys Workload Automation is scalable."
"We get better reports than we use to have."
"UiPath has one of the strongest community setups."
"The most beneficial feature is the queue system, which allows robots to process a large volume of data simultaneously."
"The logs are the best feature of the solution."
"UiPath Orchestrator is considered the brain of the system."
"I like UiPath Orchestrator's screen capture feature."
"From my perspective, the main feature of UiPath Orchestrator is their good library of ready-made processes, which is very time-saving."
"From what I have seen, it is a reliable tool."
"The features of UiPath Orchestrator that I find to be the most useful for automation processes are scheduling, queue management, and asset management."
 

Cons

"We had a few issues, however, the issues were more on the infrastructure rather than with the application itself."
"Reduce the number of operational files. This would make the job of a system programmer supporting ESP easier."
"I am looking forward to more of their dashboard features. I think it would be very valuable for us to have dashboard features that could be delivered to our customers in the form of a URL, and they could refresh that URL whenever they wanted to get up to date performance metrics out of our systems."
"It would be helpful to be able to monitor and manage workload windows so we could minimize downstream applications. This would allow us easier access to the applications."
"The solution could improve by having support for container environments."
"We see improvement possibilities in the processing provision of predefined evaluations or individual objects, or in the Self Service portal, which can be used by any user to monitor objects or start objects."
"The scalability is poor because I cannot use it for all automation solutions."
"The graphical interface can be improved."
"I am interested in seeing more features like document understanding and AI integration."
"It takes us time to understand the process before we can publish it. Its pricing needs to be lower, and there needs to be a centralized dashboard."
"UiPath Orchestrator needs to focus on dashboards."
"One of the significant challenges we've encountered with UiPath Orchestrator is the frequent and rapid changes in the tool's interface and functionality."
"UiPath Orchestrator should improve its UI and make it more user-friendly."
"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."
"I am interested in seeing more features like document understanding and AI integration."
"The product must provide process mining features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CA pricing has been a problem, and not looked upon favorably here at all."
"I don't have information on the exact licensing cost of AutoSys Workload Automation because that's managed by the tools and financing teams. For agents, it's close to $4,00, but for the server setup, it's usually a one-time license initially, and it's AMC which is paid every year and comes close to $8,000 to $10,000."
"I certainly think the pricing is worth the value."
"It is overpriced."
"People need to pay attention to how they use their ESP agents on the distributed platform. That's where some of the cost comes in, based on how many you need or how many you use."
"There is an annual license to use AutoSys Workload Automation."
"The return on investment would be very high because doing things manually without this product would be extremely expensive."
"The price of this solution is reasonable and there is an annual license required."
"The product is expensive, and the associated licenses add to the expenses, initially making deploying new processes costly."
"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’s pricing is a little higher than reasonable."
"UiPath Orchestrator's price is reasonable. We pay around 40k USD. Its licensing costs are yearly."
"The product is expensive."
"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."
"The pricing seems reasonable based on project requirements."
"The product is quite expensive."
