Yes, ORCID is also a good tool. It handles accented characters and non-US names well, and it lets you add your own publications, which makes it much better than e.g. WoS/ResearcherID. It has a much narrower scope than Google Scholar though, as to my knowledge it doesn't compute bibliographic information like h-index, etc (which sadly is a need in the metrics-oriented world of applying for positions and grants) and doesn't provide recommendation functionality or search for paper PDF's.
