Featured Reviews

MaheshKumar6 - PeerSpot reviewer
Future-proof and powerful with great support
Improvements include: 1) Cost of the Software. Redwood is more expensive than most of the other Automation Software available today; they could make it budget-friendly. 2) It has limited reporting features. Some basic reporting features are missing. 3) There is no option to extract data in Excel. This feature could help in finding errors in the data. 4) Integration with ServiceNow is not supported. 5) The cloud platform compatibility is not up to the mark. 6) Security standards need to be improved. 7) Handling failure is not great; the workflow stops when a job fails and human intervention is required. 8) Configuration and set-up are difficult for someone with less coding knowledge. 9) They need to provide more documentation to assist new users.
Bantu Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
Improves operational efficiency through its centralized dashboard and asset management
There are overwhelming features added to UiPath Orchestrator, which can lead to complexities. Permissions, roles, and queues sometimes result in conflicts, requiring deeper understanding. 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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Multi-platform scheduling makes it easier this way rather than accessing one platform at a time."
"Error handling and the recovery feature ensure that my job processes are not stopped if any error occurs."
"REL expressions are quite helpful for setting up the preconditions."
"Redwood is of value to our organization due to of its ease of use and the ability to automate and orchestrate any platform that we utilize today."
"It saves us a lot of time and money by doing jobs automatically."
"Redwood helps us to schedule batch jobs on a daily, weekly, and yearly basis to keep the business running smoothly."
"Redwood is more flexible and we can schedule the tasks based on different time zones."
"With automation in place, employees can focus on more strategic tasks that require human expertise, increasing overall productivity."
"UiPath Orchestrator is a stable solution."
"UiPath Orchestrator has helped us by replacing manual processes with automation."
"It was very simple to use and allowed us to easily record and manage activities."
"It allows for the segregation of users, ensuring each user has access to specific environments based on their roles."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it was a user-friendly product with an intuitive design."
"The focus on repeat application automation is valuable."
"From what I have seen, it is a reliable tool."
"The response time and support quality are good."
 

Cons

"The only issue at first was that we had to manually delete or raise the event in order to run some of the events and wait for jobs, even if the file was kept at the correct AL11 position."
"The solution should have more focus on security standards."
"The product can improve customer service."
"It has limited reporting features; some basic reporting features are missing."
"The price wise, it is not affordable. When we compare with other industry leading softwares and even the same scale, there are certain softwares that can compete with Redwood, but Redwood is very highly paced.So it is more SAP friendly, I would say, at this point. Since it was owned by SAP for very long time, they have made it SAP friendly. But if you look at the tool as a enterprise tool. Like, in general, it is not really that great as a tool. So you can you have better options when you couple it with SAP. But if you would like to control your enterprise level applications, anything after that, like, Azure AWS and things like that Oracle."
"The documentation for this product is limited, which can be improved in the future."
"Due to the abundance of competing automation technologies available on the market, connectivity with any cloud platform can be improved."
"We need the automatic creation of incidents for failed jobs."
"The vendor should provide free certification to their partners."
"The solution must provide more AI capabilities."
"It's a bit difficult to connect to the licenses."
"I had faced issues with passwords and the monitoring feature."
"The solution’s licensing cost is high and could be improved."
"We encounter errors while configuring and integrating the product with other vendors."
"The product must conduct more promotional activities and webinars."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It initially surprised me because we went from an application that was priced by connection to agents/the number of agents to an application that was priced based on the number of job executions. At that time, many of the products we looked at were also priced on job execution. That seems to be more common in the business or in the vendors that provide solutions out there, but that was probably our biggest difference."
"The product is expensive."
"The product is expensive, and the associated licenses add to the expenses, initially making deploying new processes costly."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"The pricing is reasonable and competitive."
"The pricing is quite reasonable, particularly with the cloud version where Orchestrator is included in all other licenses at no additional cost."
"I rate UiPath Orchestrator's pricing a six out of ten."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
"The pricing seems reasonable based on project requirements."
