Cons
"The configuration of IBM Workload Automation has some challenges. We have a difficult time customizing it, but it is similar to other solutions.""The performance of the previous versions could be better.""It is missing some features and can improve in areas where the competition is somewhat better like linking job dependencies.""It would be helpful to have a mobile app that could be used to follow the job schedule.""It should support other schedulers that aren't IBM products.""Scalability-wise, it can be a little bit challenging.""This solution does have bugs and could be improved in this regard. However, these bugs are resolved relatively quickly.""The schedule refreshes daily and that's a challenge for us."

More IBM Workload Automation Cons →

"The vendor should provide free certification to their partners.""The code management for the Studio could be improved.""UiPath Orchestrator is sometimes a bit clunky, and a few things don't work in the tool as they should.""The product must provide process mining features.""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.""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.""One area for improvement in UiPath Orchestrator is enhancing automation for exceptional cases.""I had faced issues with passwords and the monitoring feature."
