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."As soon as you have an issue, a ticket is created and the tech support is quite responsive."
"We can tie together all the workloads across the estate and make the whole process reactive to events."
"Self Service for repeatable, low impact workload automation processes."
"Control-M has improved application reliability and the SLAs in our company by quite a bit. You can see if problems are coming. If we have an SLA in a couple of hours, we know well before that couple hours if processing is behind, and it allows us to take some preventative action."
"It gives us the ability to have end-to-end workflows, no matter where they're running."
"The most valuable features are the Advanced File Transfer and the manage file transfer. They make transferring files securely seamless. It's very easy to set up, get deployed, and have it transferred to and from vendors. As long as we can get our firewall rules implemented at a decent time, it's very easy and seamless to get important files transferred in a secure manner."
"The scheduling feature and scheduling tool are the most valuable features. I like the scheduling services that we have in Control-M, which are very beneficial to our organization because they are automating things. There is also less manual work. We can schedule a task without any manual interruptions."
"Control-M is excellent when it comes to building, scheduling, managing, and monitoring production workflows. Those workflows are of very high importance to our operations."
"From what I have seen, it is a reliable tool."
"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."
"UiPath has one of the strongest community setups."
"One standout feature I like in UiPath Orchestrator is the scheduling capability."
"UiPath Orchestration works effectively in deploying, scheduling, and running automated bots across different environments."
"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."
"The platform serves as a valuable tool for orchestrating solutions within an organization."
"Control-M reporting is a bit of a pain point right now. Control-M doesn't have robust reporting. I would like to see better reporting options. I would like to be able to pull charts or statistics that look nicer. Right now, we can pull some data, but it is kind of choppy. It would be nicer to have enterprise-level reporting that you can present to managers."
"Sometimes, with technical support, they will take feedback, but you don't know where that feedback goes or if it proceeds along in the thought process."
"The community and the networking that goes on within that community need improvement. We want to be able to reach out to an SME, and say, "Hey, we are doing it this way. Does that make sense?" Ideally, they come back. and say, "Yes, it does make sense to do it that way. However, if you want to do it this way, then it is a little more efficient." We understand that one solution framework doesn't fit everybody. Depending on the breadth of the data and how broad it is, you may have different models for one over the other."
"Some of the documentation could use some improvement, however, it gets you from point A to point B pretty quickly to get the solution in place."
"I'm not sure how the solution fits together with our business modernization initiatives, as there are things outside of my area, even though Control-M is the scheduling tool of the company. They may use other things, e.g., Big Data."
"Everybody's biggest gripe is the reporting capability option. It is a gripe because there is a lot of information in Control-M, but the solution doesn't have a good reporting tool to extract that information. Now, if you want all that information, you need to rely on another third-party BI tool to extract the information out of Control-M."
"Right now, Control-M is the leader in EMA analysis, which is similar to Gartner. However, clients want to invest in a strong technology, and therefore this product needs to keep up with the high expectations set for it."
"The performance could be better. Control-M Enterprise Manager tends to slow the system down even on a server with a six-core processor and 32 gigabytes RAM. The console is Java-based, so maybe OpenJDK 16 or 17 would be a performance improvement."
"One of the significant challenges we've encountered with UiPath Orchestrator is the frequent and rapid changes in the tool's interface and functionality."
"The credential vault is generic and does not have process categorization. The tool needs to arrange a Customer Success Manager for support. It should also improve the credential manager and integrate a customized form of retrieving the details. There should be more dashboards as well."
"They could provide a more intuitive UI for the product."
"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 code management for the Studio could be improved."
"The vendor should provide free certification to their partners."
"The solution must provide more AI capabilities."
