Cons
"The interface can sometimes feel limited, as we're unable to see what AWS is running behind the scenes.""The pricing of the solution can be improved.""It is hard to coordinate the declaratory language.""The price and support are areas with shortcomings where the solution needs to improve.""It wasn't easy to understand the licensing model. It's like if you use just a little, it's cheap, but it becomes more expensive as you use more. It's like a hook that ties you inside the Amazon ecosystem. So, it creates a dependency.""The solution's pricing could be cheaper. It is cheaper than Airflow.""The solution's data size limit can be improved.""Setup took about one day. We had some errors to understand in the beginning, but now everything is working good."

Apache is one of the most expensive alternatives in the market. The integration with reporting tools and classic solutions is essential. Having BI integration, Salesforce integration, and robust monitoring and reporting capabilities would enhance the product.""The tool makes the laptops slow.""One of the significant challenges we've encountered with UiPath Orchestrator is the frequent and rapid changes in the tool's interface and functionality.""It's a bit difficult to connect to the licenses."

    Overview

    AWS Step Functions lets you coordinate multiple AWS services into serverless workflows so you can build and update apps quickly. Using Step Functions, you can design and run workflows that stitch together services such as AWS Lambda and Amazon ECS into feature-rich applications. Workflows are made up of a series of steps, with the output of one step acting as input into the next. Application development is simpler and more intuitive using Step Functions, because it translates your workflow into a state machine diagram that is easy to understand, easy to explain to others, and easy to change. You can monitor each step of execution as it happens, which means you can identify and fix problems quickly. Step Functions automatically triggers and tracks each step, and retries when there are errors, so your application executes in order and as expected.

    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.
