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

"There are various ways in which you can construct jobs depending on your business needs and requirements."
"In Redwood Automation, we can easily fetch the daily reports from the system as per the client's requirement and track the status of every job which is running, aborted, or canceled."
"It saves us a lot of time and money by doing jobs automatically."
"Its monitoring and alerting features are what I found the most valuable."
"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."
"The automated alert response is very useful for long-running and failed jobs during off-business hours."
"One of Redwood Software's features that I liked was its event-driven automation, which allows IT teams to respond to real-time events, alerts, and notifications from numerous systems."
"By automating the job processes it has saved us a lot of time and resources."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The monitoring feature stands out as the single most indispensable aspect of UiPath Orchestrator for our automation processes."
"From my perspective, the main feature of UiPath Orchestrator is their good library of ready-made processes, which is very time-saving."
"Orchestrator's most valuable features include schedulers, queues, and integration with Splunk."
"Assets and logs are valuable."
"The most beneficial feature is the queue system, which allows robots to process a large volume of data simultaneously."
"It allows for the segregation of users, ensuring each user has access to specific environments based on their roles."
"UiPath Orchestrator has helped us by replacing manual processes with automation."
 

Cons

"The product can improve customer service."
"They should be made more cost-effective in comparison to similar software services."
"The documentation for this product is limited, which can be improved in the future."
"It would be nice if Redwood RunMyJobs could work on different systems."
"Customer support should be enhanced so that we can automatically raise tickets and incidents in customer service."
"The user interface of Redwood can be improved a bit to make it more user-friendly and interesting."
"We'd like to see an integration with ServiceNow to raise the tickets/incidents in ServiceNow."
"The solution should have more focus on security standards."
"There are overwhelming features added to UiPath Orchestrator, which can lead to complexities."
"It's a bit difficult to connect to the licenses."
"In my opinion, some improvements could be made in the UiPath Orchestrator. For example, it's not so simple to see all the time triggers that we have. We need to check each folder and see all the triggers to see what kind of robot will run. We do not have all the triggers in one place, showing the time they will run and for which process in each folder. Another thing is that the tool for monitoring processes does not show the relation between the process and the machines running them. We can check which machine is available or not because it is running a process, but we cannot see the process and the machine running it in one view."
"The vendor should provide free certification to their partners."
"The product must conduct more promotional activities and webinars."
"They could provide a more intuitive UI for the product."
"The vision libraries that the tool provides, along with the visualization part, are areas with shortcomings in the solution where improvements are required."
"I am interested in seeing more features like document understanding and AI integration."
 

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."
"I rate UiPath Orchestrator's pricing a six out of ten."
"UiPath Orchestrator is an expensive tool to implement."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
"The product is expensive."
"The product’s pricing is competitive."
"The pricing is quite reasonable, particularly with the cloud version where Orchestrator is included in all other licenses at no additional cost."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
"The product is quite expensive."
