We performed a comparison between Control-M and UiPath Orchestrator based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Workload Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The reporting is top-notch. I haven't found any other applications on the market that can replicate what Control-M offers. The alerting is very good, and I think their service monitoring is the best in the industry."
"BIM is helpful because we do not miss any SLAs, as we get to know the issue well in advance. It is the topmost service that has helped us provide better solutions for the business."
"Maintaining and monitoring of workloads have been and continue to be the most valuable feature in our environment."
"The most valuable features are the Advanced File Transfer and the manage file transfer. They make transferring files securely seamless. It's very easy to set up, get deployed, and have it transferred to and from vendors. As long as we can get our firewall rules implemented at a decent time, it's very easy and seamless to get important files transferred in a secure manner."
"In the client, it provides a unified view for me. I can alter the view that I want to see jobs and conditions. This is nice to have. The fact that you can see everything in one space is very important, especially these days where everything is about data and monitoring as well as because we are working from home on a global basis. So, I can monitor jobs in real-time, along with any failures or anything that might be stuck. The real-time monitoring and the ability to see everything in one place is important for us because we operate 24/7."
"As soon as you have an issue, a ticket is created and the tech support is quite responsive."
"The most valuable features are the GUI console, stability, and workflow."
"Most of our tasks also deal with databases, and Control-M's purpose-built module for the databases comes in very handy when handling database components."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it was a user-friendly product with an intuitive design."
"Assets and logs are valuable."
"The logs are the best feature of the solution."
"The response time and support quality are good."
"UiPath Orchestrator is a user-friendly solution."
"The centralized dashboard and asset management in UiPath Orchestrator have proven valuable in enhancing operational efficiency."
"I like UiPath Orchestrator's screen capture feature."
"The monitoring feature stands out as the single most indispensable aspect of UiPath Orchestrator for our automation processes."
"I talked to Control-M guys back in October or November when they had a gathering here in Atlanta. We talked about not being able to go back in history in Helix Control-M for more than two weeks. We submitted a request for enhancement. They told us that they are working on it, and they are thinking of expanding that to 30 days. We would like to see it expand to 90 days, but they are working on it."
"They can improve their interface."
"Finding documentation on the website can be a bit confusing."
"The infrastructure could be improved."
"But for some issues, BMC will suggest to upgrade to new version which will not be feasible to standards of the organisation. Hence some work around should be shown to run the business until new version was upgraded."
"I would like to see them adopt more cloud. Most companies don't have a single cloud, meaning we have data sources that come from different cloud providers. That may have been solved already, but supporting Azure would be an improvement because companies tend not to have only AWS and GCP."
"We would recommend modernizing the look and feel of Control-M. They also need to move towards more self-service and development in their environment. It's very antiquated."
"The biggest improvement they could have is better QA testing before releases come out the door."
"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."
"I had faced issues with passwords and the monitoring feature."
"The credential vault is generic and does not have process categorization. The tool needs to arrange a Customer Success Manager for support. It should also improve the credential manager and integrate a customized form of retrieving the details. There should be more dashboards as well."
"The code management for the Studio could be improved."
"Clarity on integrating SQL databases and server configurations would improve implementation processes."
"UiPath Orchestrator is sometimes a bit clunky, and a few things don't work in the tool as they should."
"One of the significant challenges we've encountered with UiPath Orchestrator is the frequent and rapid changes in the tool's interface and functionality."
"The solution's pricing can be more competitive. 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."
