We performed a comparison between Control-M 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."Control-M is useful to automate all critical and non-critical processes. Using Control-M, we can automate application workflows as well as file transfers involved in application workflows. We can also use it to run batches related to applications. Automating these processes reduces the RTO and RPO, which helps in the case of failures. It also helps us to identify bottlenecks and take corrective measures."
"The ability to dynamically predict batch run time is so valuable."
"The File Watcher utility, cyclic jobs, and email alert notification are valuable."
"Maintaining and monitoring of workloads have been and continue to be the most valuable feature in our environment."
"It has a very good GUI. We can search for a job very easily. The web interface, user account creation, and access control are very good. From an access control point of view, we can provide access to as many users as we want. A second group of users can be given a certain number of features, according to the requirements. The web interface is very easy for end users to login and use. A lot of features have been added, e.g., adding jobs. They can add jobs to their stuff, whatever they want, then get it validated by the scheduling team and work it into production."
"The most valuable features are the GUI console, stability, and workflow."
"We use Control-M for maintenance on our Oracle and SQL Server databases. It automates maintenance on packages, including standard procedures on the databases themselves, snapshots, checking integrity, verifying the RDBMS of the databases, etc. It ensures they aren't clogged and that they are running smoothly and that there aren't any jobs stuck, eating up the performance of the server or any of the CPU cores."
"The web interface is handy. It's easy to use, and Control-M provides you with the necessary materials to understand the features and perform various tasks."
"It allows for the segregation of users, ensuring each user has access to specific environments based on their roles."
"The solution is easy to use."
"UiPath Orchestration works effectively in deploying, scheduling, and running automated bots across different environments."
"I like UiPath Orchestrator's screen capture feature."
"The reporting features are good."
"The product helps to monitor our automation process and keep statistics. When not dealing with just one process, we utilize the business process. From there, we obtain the necessary answers, and the robot completes the process accordingly. We keep on improving our processes to become more effective. Hence, we start with a small process."
"The logs are the best feature of the solution."
"Using UiPath Orchestrator, we can deploy tasks across different environments, including virtual machines, for both attended and unattended processes."
"Whenever I pull an S4HANA job to the Helix Control-M tool, it pulls it naturally with all the steps. A job can have several steps, and in this case, it is very easy to control the steps taken. However, in the case of the SaaS IBP tool, it can pull the job but cannot identify the steps. So, when I want to take an action in a step, I have to split the job."
"The high availability that comes from BMC with its supplied Postgres database is very limited. Even using your customer-supplied Postgres database is problematic. We have engaged with them regarding this, but it is difficult. My company doesn't want to do this and BMC doesn't want to do that. We just need to find some middle ground to get the proper high availability. We're also moving away, like the rest of the world, from the more expensive offerings, like Oracle. We are trying to use Postgres, which is free. The stability is good. It is just that the high availability configuration is not ideal. It could be better."
"I would like to see more audit report templates added, and perhaps more customizability in terms of reporting."
"Regarding product design and R&D, the DevOps pipeline could be improved with better capabilities and automation. API security and authentication is another area that could use improvement; users must have static credential passwords, which is a security concern."
"I would like not to have to reach out to a third-party application company to do automated notifications. Right now, we still have people manually calling people and emailing people. There's a company called xMatters - and there are others - that has an API through Control-M that can automate any aspect of failure management. I'd like to see it build right into the product. I'd like to see a better notification product."
"Its architecture is old. AutoSys gives more flexibility."
"While they have a very good reporting facility, the reports that I'm asked to produce, a lot of times aren't necessarily what we need."
"When it comes to supporting cloud services, Control-M is a bit slow. We are not advancing with the technology because we don't have the modules that can interact or use the new application services provided by the cloud technologies."
"UiPath Orchestrator is sometimes a bit clunky, and a few things don't work in the tool as they should."
"I had faced issues with passwords and the monitoring feature."
"The tool makes the laptops slow."
"One area for improvement in UiPath Orchestrator is enhancing automation for exceptional cases."
"The product must conduct more promotional activities and webinars."
"We encounter errors while configuring and integrating the product with other vendors."
"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."
"The solution must provide more AI capabilities."
