Featured Reviews

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.
Vishal Bhatia - PeerSpot reviewer
Automation tasks are streamlined with advanced templates and offers good support capabilities
Some students, especially beginners, may find the learning curve to be steep due to a lack of requisite knowledge in backend languages like YAML, Python, or JavaScript. I have been providing VMware training for over fifteen years. I deal with many other vendors, such as Cisco and Microsoft. I would rate VMware Aria Automation Orchestrator around eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"Primarily, customers are looking for workflows and day-to-day actions, as well as advanced templates."
 

Cons

"It is challenging to accurately define text within images for the product."
"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 solution's deployment and architecture aspects could be improved."
"They could provide a more intuitive UI for the product."
"The code management for the Studio could be improved."
"It's a bit difficult to connect to the licenses."
"The major issue is with the application according to the new version of the UI."
"The vendor should provide free certification to their partners."
"I would like to see improvements related to AI integration, which could make understanding from a language perspective easier."
"Some students, especially beginners, may find the learning curve to be steep due to a lack of requisite knowledge in backend languages like YAML, Python, or JavaScript."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive."
"I rate UiPath Orchestrator's pricing a six out of ten."
"The product’s pricing is competitive."
"The solution is very expensive. Compared to Microsoft, another tool that is much cheaper than the tool, it does not have the same features that UiPath Orchestrator has. The most valuable feature in my platform is the queue items in UiPath Orchestrator to evaluate the products using this feature."
"The tool's licensing cost is high. I rate the tool an eight or nine on a scale from one to ten, where ten means expensive."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
"Larger organizations may benefit from more favorable pricing, as the costs can be distributed across more licenses."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
