"The reporting features are good."
"The product has been pretty amazing at deploying, scheduling, and running automated bots."
"UiPath Orchestrator is a stable solution."
"The response time and support quality are good."
"The tool's most valuable feature is reporting. Being on the business side, I need to report on the efficiency and the business case scenarios we build upon for the RPA. I need to find and analyze the relevant data."
"One standout feature I like in UiPath Orchestrator is the scheduling capability."
"What I found most beneficial from VisualCron is that you can directly connect it with different databases, user accounts, and credentials. You can run queries from one machine to another using the credentials, unlike PowerShell, that's run by the machine itself. With VisualCron, you can directly ask other machines and run requests through user credentials. Suppose you have an AWS or Azure environment. In that case, you can maintain the connection between on-premises and cloud-based machines, which is the type of setup in the organization I'm working for. You can directly call some of the services via VisualCron on your local on-premises machine, and I found that an excellent feature of the tool."
"It helped us reduce manual steps."
"We don't have to do any coding. We just plug and play and it works."
"It has improved our organization with more automation within the business departments and less administration and development in the IT department. Usually, as the IT department, we are the bottleneck for many requirements within the business. With this tool, the business departments are able to perform many task themselves."
"The ability to clone jobs to shorten the time it takes to implement a process has been invaluable, but its flexibility also gives us the ability to create a job that can handle a multifaceted process with a complex workflow."
"VisualCron is a very powerful program to automate different steps in your business processes. We use it to automate replacing files and inform departments about the replacement."
"'ve only had a few cases where I've had to request support in the past 12 years of use, but the support response time and resolution were was extremely quick."
"The tool has reduced our operational costs by 40%."
"Clarity on integrating SQL databases and server configurations would improve implementation processes."
"The solution's pricing can be more competitive. Apache is one of the most expensive alternatives in the market. The integration with reporting tools and classic solutions is essential. Having BI integration, Salesforce integration, and robust monitoring and reporting capabilities would enhance the product."
"I had faced issues with passwords and the monitoring feature."
"It is challenging to accurately define text within images for the product."
"UiPath Orchestrator should improve its UI and make it more user-friendly."
"The vendor should provide free certification to their partners."
"Limiting certain deployment scenarios and enforcing best practices could be beneficial."
"One of the significant challenges we've encountered with UiPath Orchestrator is the frequent and rapid changes in the tool's interface and functionality."
"Our suggestion to make it better and more manageable in terms of GDPR: Implement it in a very partnership way."
"The only problem I face when I use the tool is that it doesn't contain much documentation or it doesn't have many video tutorials on its features."
"I would like for VisualCron to expand audit log to show who changed job variables that are initialized per job run."
"The error timeout and info could be better. When making web request calls, it will time out sometimes and we won't get any useful info out of the error response."
"VisualCron seems to operate like an efficient machine when it comes to improvements and enhancements and new features. I always appreciate the quick response I get when bringing up an issue or coming up with suggestions. I've mentioned before that it would be great to see a move away from SQLCE and XML configuration files."
"The documentation is a bit weak."
"I want to improve the UI in VisualCron, as it's not as user-friendly, particularly when setting up the task scheduler. If you're familiar with the tool, then no problem, but if not, you'll have a problem typing text because sometimes, the cursor points to other places, so there's an issue with text box alignment in VisualCron. That was painful for me when I was just a VisualCron novice, but when you become used to it, there won't be a problem."
"VisualCron's command console is a little bit difficult to understand and needs to improve."
