Room For Improvement

JAMS Scheduler requires improved interface, intuitive web client, better documentation, and enhanced integration, search, and error handling features.
Nintex Process Platform requires better error reporting, user interface, integration, customization, performance, and reduced complexity, with high licensing costs.
UiPath Orchestrator needs UI improvements, flexible automation, better pricing, intuitive features, effective support, and enhanced integration.
Another area for improvement would be the addition of source control for jobs internally, as this feature would solve several problems for me.
Manager of Reliability Engineering and Security Operations at a computer software company with 501-1,000 employees
A major improvement would be the integration of AI to help us accomplish various tasks.
System Engineer at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
If around 5,000 or more jobs run at a time, JAMS slows down, and we have to wait around five to 10 minutes or restart JAMS scheduler services.
ETL Data Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
If we receive data in JSON, there is no action available in Nintex Process Platform to parse the data and extract data from that JSON string.
Manager Mobility & Digitalization at Fatima group
Additionally, the deployment process should be easier.
Presales Solutions Consultant at Mitra Sistematika Global
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.
Senior Technical Director at Globant
UiPath Orchestrator setup is easy, but the settings could be made easier for other people to understand.
Senior Software QA Engineer at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
I am interested in seeing more features like document understanding and AI integration.

Setup Cost

JAMS Scheduler is cost-effective and scalable, with competitive pricing and appreciated unlimited licensing options despite recent price increases.
Nintex Process Platform's pricing is seen as expensive yet valuable, with variations based on subscription, region, and user engagement.
UiPath Orchestrator is pricey but valuable, offering cost-effective options for large organizations with included cloud features.
The price is fair considering the functionality and importance of the tool, although the increase did unsettle our management.
System Engineer at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
My thoughts on the pricing of JAMS are that I won't say it is cheap, but it is cost-efficient, and that should be acceptable.
Consultant at HCLSoftware
The pricing and licensing were fair.
Database Analyst / Architect at a healthcare company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Nintex Process Platform is expensive.
Presales Solutions Consultant at Mitra Sistematika Global
The pricing of UiPath Orchestrator is a bit high.
Sr. Manager, Digital Transformation at Raya Integration
Regarding licensing costs and setup costs, the pricing is on the higher side compared to other RPA solutions that are entering the market, which are much cheaper, and sometimes we cannot retain customers because of this.
Director - Enterprise & Govt. Business at Intellect Technolab
It would be beneficial for UiPath to further refine pricing, setup costs, and licensing by making their tool more intuitive and simplifying complex functionalities.
Senior Technical Director at Globant

Principal Data Base And Infrastructure Engineer at a outsourcing company with 501-1,000 employees
Automation has replaced nightly monitoring and delivers reliable, unified job scheduling
We have really enjoyed working with JAMS in terms of notifications, alerts, and streamlining. There used to be a process with Automate, which is another product from Fortra, but even before that, the other division of the company that we were merging with had a tool that was built in-house called a file handler or file distributor. It was an in-house developed tool, but it was not as streamlined or as efficient as JAMS is. We literally had to have a dedicated nighttime person monitoring. Although we are 24/7, the divisions of the company that we were using JAMS for have been small scale. While we have automated it, we have streamlined it in such a way that notifications go out and alerts go out, but if there is anything, then we get paged and alerted, and if anything needs to happen at midnight, we can wake up. On the other hand, with the tool I mentioned, the file handler and distributor, we used to have a dedicated nighttime person that had to be sitting and monitoring it to see when a file arrived, whether it met the conditions, and then execute the next particular job. By using JAMS, we have gained a lot more efficiencies in terms of all of those to streamline it, and there is no necessary need for having an overnight engineer just keeping an eye on all of this.

Have experienced challenges integrating with other systems but have benefited from improved process automation
There are multiple areas that need improvement. Nintex Process Platform needs integration with other platforms such as Salesforce and other CRM platforms. There should be actions available so we can directly integrate with these systems. Additionally, there is a gap in mathematical actions and logical actions. We need to parse data, and if we receive data in JSON, there is no action available in Nintex Process Platform to parse the data and extract data from that JSON string. Such actions and logical actions must be available in Nintex Process Platform to increase its capability. For us, Nintex Process Platform is configurable with SQL Server, but there is no configuration option available with Oracle. We also use Oracle in multiple processes, but we have found no way to directly configure Nintex Process Platform with Oracle. We have to use SQL Server in between. We have to create a link server within SQL Server as a bypass to retrieve or post data into Oracle. There were multiple improvement points available.

Have managed deployments with minimal hiccups and simplified job scheduling through intuitive interface
Scheduling and running jobs is valuable because it simplifies automation. You just need to connect the bot and you can run it easily. For example, with Selenium automation, I tried Automation Anywhere, but I did not see many packages available in Automation Anywhere. Compared to UiPath, there are many packages available to make automation easier, which is why I find UiPath to be the best. Another valuable feature is the ability to give access to people in UiPath Orchestrator at the organization level. They can log in and see the information themselves, which provides transparency to the people and helps with visibility.
