We performed a comparison between OpCon 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."Thus far we have only had a few minor problems, all of which the vendor addressed quickly. We have not encountered any major problems. The product is very stable and reliable."
"It allows us to organize everything into a process flow throughout the day for our different tasks that we have to run. So, it keeps everything organized. It is easy to monitor and adjust, if we need to."
"The ability to chain jobs together allows us to create complex interdependencies between our jobs, and the integration into our core system is important because it allows us, through an automated system, to do a huge number of things that used to be done manually."
"We haven't freed up a full person's job using it, but there are a good handful of people for whom it has freed up about half of their time. And those employees love it. A lot of tasks are based on certain times, and they're no longer stuck doing those things at those times. We don't have to have anybody coming in early anymore. They can focus on the processing part of their jobs instead of the file moving and downloading."
"I have been pleased with the support that we can get from the European partners. I think they are very good. All the time, when we have a question, they have an answer. It is very reassuring to have that support every day. Then, you can concentrate on your job and OpCon is just there to work. For us, it's perfect."
"The biggest example in which OpCon has improved my organization is that we have to download and process files from the federal reserve several times a day. If we don't do it in a certain timeframe, we can be penalized. It's the fact that we can download these files, process them, get our accounting teams the information they need to work the exceptions that is one of the most important roles."
"Having the jobs laid out while attaching dependencies is a nice addition to the program."
"The most valuable feature is the automation in general."
"UiPath Orchestration works effectively in deploying, scheduling, and running automated bots across different environments."
"The response time and support quality are good."
"It was very simple to use and allowed us to easily record and manage activities."
"UiPath Orchestrator is a stable solution."
"I like UiPath Orchestrator's screen capture feature."
"The product has been pretty amazing at deploying, scheduling, and running automated bots."
"The reporting features are good."
"The monitoring feature stands out as the single most indispensable aspect of UiPath Orchestrator for our automation processes."
"We are still in the early stages of our implementation, so at this point, I cannot see any needed improvements or features."
"There is one feature that has been a difficult problem, and right now, OpCon can't do it. I'm not sure if it should be expected to, but we have tried to get it to where it could start a process on an external database."
"What can get complicated is if you're doing anything more than just the built-in jobs. If you're using the more advanced features, troubleshooting becomes extremely complicated."
"Some additional logging-information reporting would also help. They have all the information there but you still have to search around and look back. It's not right there for you, where you click and can get the reporting. You have to know the system and do some additional searches. So reporting is another area that they can build on by simplifying it."
"I would like to see them improve the Solution Manager for the web application. It's the future for us. Our customers need a lot of functionality, but there isn't that functionality within Solution Manager. So they have to develop and improve it."
"The initial setup was fairly complex."
"The FICS integration is a little bit clunky. We've had some tickets with their support team, and sometimes they couldn't figure it out, but that probably has more to do with FICS than with OpCon."
"Stability is an area for improvement. There are FTP agents that run on the MCP and they are there so that we can transfer a file from the MCP to the Windows environment or vice versa. Sometimes, and nobody has been able to figure out why, it just goes down, and all of my jobs that need it are hanging or failing... It would be very helpful if they could figure out what in the world is happening with that FTP client that's on the MCP."
"It is challenging to accurately define text within images for the product."
"They could provide a more intuitive UI for the product."
"Limiting certain deployment scenarios and enforcing best practices could be beneficial."
"The solution’s licensing cost is high and could be improved."
"It's a bit difficult to connect to the licenses."
"The product must provide process mining features."
"I had faced issues with passwords and the monitoring feature."
"UiPath Orchestrator should improve its UI and make it more user-friendly."
