Pros
"This solution enables us to improve our daily processing times. We can do everything faster than before we used this solution.""​It scales very well. We can add jobs and remove jobs.

"UiPath Orchestrator is a stable solution.""Assets and logs are valuable.""UiPath Orchestration works effectively in deploying, scheduling, and running automated bots across different environments.""From what I have seen, it is a reliable tool.""One standout feature I like in UiPath Orchestrator is the scheduling capability.""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.""The product has been pretty amazing at deploying, scheduling, and running automated bots.""I like UiPath Orchestrator's screen capture feature."

Cons
"I would like to see two-factor authentication, since you see a lot of companies in the news for security breaches. That is a really big thing for us.""I would like to see the Service Orchestrator, a B2B product, and maybe a process audit.""Because this product only computes processing days, it is hard when things need to be scheduled according to non-processing days.""Needs better documentation with fully explained examples for some of the job types.""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.""An area for improvement in AutoSys Workload Automation is that it lacks advanced features or advanced built-in functionalities found in competitors, for example, an advanced workflow feature. Even the handling or notification from AutoSys Workload Automation isn't the best in the industry. Other products have very good workflow-related functionalities such as ActiveBatch that's missing in AutoSys Workload Automation, so I wish the tool had those features.""In terms of what should be in the next release, I want integration and AI and so on. I'd like easy reporting where you can compare information, for example, "that job normally takes three minutes and last time it took six minutes or 10 minutes." Then you can get the information to the engineer of which job is taking more time than normal - understanding strange behavior compared to the baseline.""Pricing model for distributed should have an Enterprise option."

More AutoSys Workload Automation Cons →

"The vendor should provide free certification to their partners.""UiPath Orchestrator should improve its UI and make it more user-friendly.""We encounter errors while configuring and integrating the product with other vendors.""UiPath Orchestrator is sometimes a bit clunky, and a few things don't work in the tool as they should.""The code management for the Studio could be improved.""The product must provide process mining features.""The solution’s licensing cost is high and could be improved.""The vision libraries that the tool provides, along with the visualization part, are areas with shortcomings in the solution where improvements are required."

    Reviews from Real Users

    AutoSys Workload Automation stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its file transfer protocol and its visibility for batch processing. PeerSpot users take note of the advantages of these features in their reviews:

    One PeerSpot reviewer, an IT consultant at a computer software company, writes, “The most valuable features of AutoSys Workload Automation are the file transfer protocol and file watcher. The solution has a user-friendly user interface. It is very simple to use. You have a scope of all your jobs, jobs are what you call tasks that you will automate in the solution. It lets you monitor everything in these jobs.

    Another PeerSpot reviewer, a head at an insurance company, notes, “It gives a real-time view of all the batch processing that we have. Monitoring-wise, it is really good. It also gives us the ability to connect different software processes.”

    True enterprise-grade automation requires rich, powerful orchestration. UiPath Orchestrator gives you the power you need to provision, deploy, trigger, monitor, measure, and track the work of attended and unattended robots—so your entire digital workforce is secure and productive.
