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.

Pros

"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 cost is affordable, and it fits our requirements."
"UiPath has enabled us as an organization to perform an array of tasks with more proficiency and efficiency. Automation is very important to our organization now and UiPath has played an immense role."
"We are able to remove all repetitive tasks. We are using RPA for HR, salary generation, interview process, appointment, etc. We are using RPA everywhere. We are in the top five just because of RPA. It's very important for us."
"This solution has increased productivity in our organization."
"The Orchestrator feature of UiPath Platform is really nice, being able to set up multiple robots and have Orchestrator control those, send jobs when they're available, and so on."
"They have robust libraries we can use to automate a wide range of tasks, and UiPath integrates with multiple technologies. It's an excellent platform with many valuable features we find useful in our business."
"UiPath Academy courses... are our entire training platform. We brought people who are not IT-savvy, complete laymen who were not in IT at all, into our platform of technology. To do that conversion, the Academy had to be very strong."
"It's low code/no code which makes it very easy to work with."
"The community enables a lot of users to get involved with UiPath. There are many open forums where a number of users share their thoughts."
 

Cons

"I used UiPath before akaBot, and I think UiPath has more features than akaBot."
"If they can provide more intelligent automation, it would be beneficial."
"We're actually looking into a document to understand the use case. It's essentially car titles, and we're struggling. We've used several different OCR engines to try to train the model and try to improve it. For us, a little more direction on how to actually achieve this would be useful. We've been struggling for a couple of months now trying to get it working and getting it to the level we need it."
"There is a bit of a learning curve to the solution because it is like coding."
"An area where UiPath Platform has room for improvement is that they do not have a local source code saving opportunity where we need to save it in our local file or a local PC."
"UiPath should also add activities for the Excel application like formatting Excel columns and rows."
"Going forward, I would like to see more stability in the robots. When I create a robot, then I want it to work for quite some period of time. I've had some situations, where things will update, change, and the robot is broken. Part of this is making a more stable implementation easier."
"The attended bot functionality is in need of improvement."
"Some of the biggest areas of improvement are already being addressed. We're looking forward to the healing agent because we see a lot of UI migration because of our broken technological footprint."
"I would love to see UiPath create a reporting application that you could deploy on the side and feed data directly into it. That would be an amazing tool to have. Microsoft has this data migration interface, so if you create an automation, it checks everything going into it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"UiPath is expensive."
"Our client saw ROI after one month. They realized after we showed them the first process that three people would be free to do other stuff."
"It is reasonable considering the benefits of automating the processes."
"For the features and the quality of features that they provide, it's a very reasonably priced product."
"It is not oversold. It does do what it was advertised to do."
"I would rate the pricing as seven out of 10, where 10 is the most expensive. The pricing increased with the latest release. It used to be cheap. Now, it is expensive. However, it does come with supported features, which almost justify its cost."
"The license cost is expensive because we have to pay for each tenant."
"The pricing and licensing are okay. It's quite affordable."
