User interface streamlines task automation and improves efficiency
akaBot made a noticeable difference at Wika because it is lightweight and easy to use, and moreover, akaBot has a forum to answer many questions. The ease of use stands out because the design of akaBot is very friendly. The best features that akaBot offers in my experience include the UI automation in the browser or in the Windows application. What I appreciate most about the UI automation in browsers or Windows applications is the auto-generate selector in a browser and Windows application. This feature makes a difference because it reduced most of the time developing the bot.

Significantly reduces manual effort and improves team workflows through automated ticketing
We've used Agent Builder, IXP, and Maestro for orchestration. We have created context-grounded searches or chatbots using context grounding, and we also use context grounding within an Agentic flow where a bot or agent reads ServiceNow tickets to determine whether it has been assigned to the right work group. If it has not been assigned correctly due to human error, it automatically reassigns it to the right group. I would assess Agentic AI's ability to extract data points as effective. We created an agent for the purpose of extracting data, though not in a document. We created what we call an email conversation agent that engages with a customer, vendor, or someone in an email conversation with a set goal of extracting specific data points for an action to be performed subsequently. The one automation we have deployed in production involves the agent interacting with team members to collect data points and create a ServiceNow ticket. We appreciate almost all features of UiPath Platform, with one of the most successful ones being the use of Coms Mining. Most of the new features related to AI have all been good, and we use Agentic. We have already created a few agents and have started to use Maestro for a few flows, though we are not yet there to orchestrate an end-to-end workflow. We have good ROI from the automations we have developed with UiPath Platform, which far exceeds the investment in the platform. It has saved us tens of thousands of hours in manual effort, making the team members happy to pursue other things of value.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The cost is affordable, and it fits our requirements."
"akaBot made a noticeable difference at Wika because it is lightweight and easy to use, and moreover, akaBot has a forum to answer many questions."
"AI functionality enabled our clients to automate more processes overall."
"If revenue accounting wants to do their responsibilities, they need 100 employees; automation made their life easy and they can now validate quickly with 5 or 10 agents and get it done."
"It took a job which would take a user up to 30 minutes and decreased the time without their interaction to three minutes."
"UiPath is a no-code automation tool that saves me a lot of time when developing workflows."
"I like the Orchestrator and the AI Center. The AI Center has many pre-trained trained models you can adapt to your requirements."
"The robots are valuable, and UiPath is becoming stronger in the intelligent automation space, which is a good step forward."
"Going through the recommended training and doing the Associate certification has increased my credibility, I've gained more trust in the company, it has changed my career, and UiPath has played a prominent role in my career."
"The most valuable features of this solution are: Custom components that can be found on UiPath Go!, debugger with variable watch capability, and the UI Explorer that can examine the underlying structure of the application's user interface."
 

Cons

"If they can provide more intelligent automation, it would be beneficial."
"I used UiPath before akaBot, and I think UiPath has more features than akaBot."
"My thoughts on UiPath Platform's user community suggest that a lot of content seems outdated and old now that gets referenced."
"We had a couple of opportunities for Document Understanding, which is more machine learning. Our struggle lies in the man in the middle concept where people just want to throw it over the fence, however, we emphasize that they need to help us with it."
"I have experienced scalability issues."
"The community can be increased and enhanced. That way, if we are facing an issue and need an easy solution, we can then use the community."
"UiPath can probably work on improving the AI features. We tried UiPath's AI functionality in our automation program. We did some research on that, but right now, nothing is in production. When we did some research, we weren't getting the expected results. We weren't completely satisfied with the results, so we put it aside. It could be a drawback on our side in terms of learning the tool."
"When it comes to debugging, there is some improvement needed for UiPath compared to other RPA tools. It is really a pain to stop the entire debug session and just edit it, then start again at zero."
"The community version of UiPath has a limited feature set, which can make it challenging for users to fully explore its capabilities without purchasing the enterprise version."
"My team has just been learning UiPath for the past three to four months, and they are still hitting a wall in certain areas that they have to dig out of."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We just signed a very large perpetual agreement. So, we had 125 Studios and 1200 unattended licenses. We paid $3.7 million. Then, we paid maintenance costs for the next three years, which was 15 percent of that."
"UiPath is expensive."
"The pricing is quite reasonable."
"The pricing is fine and the features are good. Still, the pricing could be a little lower."
"Our license cost is reduced since we don't require any IT support."
"UiPath is a little more costly than competing solutions such as Automation Anywhere."
"The ROI on all of our RPA use cases is from a throughput perspective. Processing time improvement is anywhere between 70 percent faster to 300 to 400 percent faster. For the right processes, there is even up to 7X to 10X improvement from a throughput perspective, even though it works through the UI."
"The cost depends on how many licenses are needed and how bots are used. Right now there is no solution that is less expensive."
