Visual workflows have accelerated our agent POC while better UI and observability still need work
My personal experience with Dify's UI is that it is not my favorite, as it can be improved a little bit, and sometimes the UI feels a little bit buggy. I am not sure if that is because it was a self-hosted version. The documentation can also be improved a little bit more. I think not a lot of people are using Dify currently, so that is why the documentation is not very great. If the documentation was improved, that would also be a really good thing. Currently, Dify could improve by offering better observability like other platforms. We currently use OpenAI Agents SDK, which requires you to build everything by code, but the observability is really good. It has OpenAI Traces, and you can basically trace everything for a conversation. If Dify had that kind of tracing functionality, that would be great.

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

"Considering the pricing, I would rate Dify a seven on a scale from one to ten, but for usability, use case, and feasibility, I would give it a ten, as it surpasses both Zapier and N8N."
"Dify has positively impacted the organization because accuracy has been improved, and the time and complexity in flows that were manual are now automated, from HR automation to ERP level transactions, including subscription management in the SaaS application, monitoring, and analytics."
"Using Dify has positively impacted our organization because we were able to cut down on some development time and do a lot of testing in a very small time period."
"Using Dify has positively impacted our organization because we were able to cut down on some development time and do a lot of testing in a very small time period."
"Since I have used Dify personally, I have noticed ways it has made my workflow and research easier, saving me time and helping me find answers more quickly."
"I have been using Dify as a powerful tool for AI automation for more than 1.5 years, and I appreciate its model-agnostic approach that allows easily swapping AI models like OpenAI and Anthropic."
"With the AI-powered data analysis we built, we achieve cost savings since we do not need to hire a person specialized in data analysis."
"A lot of our return on investment has to do with time savings, as it is definitely amazing to see processes that could take eight days before actually run in ten minutes just because of automation."
"We are using the RE framework and it's very helpful for delivering the product on time."
"As far as UiPath is concerned and how automation has transformed the agency, we've found that hundreds of thousands of hours are being saved every year now, thanks to these processes."
"The cloud deployment option is particularly attractive to some customers for its flexibility and scalability, along with customary thin client advantages."
"The most valuable features are probably the autopilot or copilot AI feature and insights."
"One thing that I personally like very much is the drag-and-drop capability in UiPath. I don't have a coding background. One of the major selling points of the solution is that it requires very minimal coding to create a program. It's very easy to drag and drop to create the required fields from the tool."
"The flexibility and easy-to-use platform of UiPath make it on a par with other RPA vendors, and what I like most about UiPath is that it has 400+ inbuilt activities and customization activities making it more valuable."
"It enables us to implement end-to-end automation. We have projects where it automates the entire process from one end to the other. Very often we have "human-in-the-loop" within them, because some decisions have to be made, but they are almost end-to-end solutions."
 

Cons

"Dify does not appear to handle larger workloads well regarding its scalability."
"Dify is missing a few features which could be improved by polishing the website and creating a more attractive experience with motion graphics."
"Dify can be improved by adding features such as an end loop or exit loop capability, similar to options available in N8N and Zapier, to make workflow completion easier without needing to select additional outputs and understand complex steps, which can be time-consuming."
"The only improvement would be if Dify provided an SMTP server that could be connected to automate Dify workflow management, as that would be a great option."
"One of the main concerns that we had is that it might not be very scalable because we are hosting it in a self-hosted environment, and we have to configure the architecture and everything."
"One of the main concerns that we had is that it might not be very scalable because we are hosting it in a self-hosted environment, and we have to configure the architecture and everything."
"The speed of upgrades is really hard to follow."
"In most cases, the results from the software are the same and not variable. This means that we have to define the variable by editing the flow chart."
"I think it would be good to add more activities regarding operations on data tables."
"In terms of improvement, UiPath Platform should be easier to license."
"They need to work on security."
"It should add the feature of intelligent automation."
"Even though you can drag-and-drop, it's still cumbersome unless you are a programmer."
"UiPath's OCR features could be improved. It's to do complex OCR captures with UiPath. I would also like improvements in the dashboard for executing processes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There are different licensing options and you should study which one better suits your company's needs."
"Even though our clients may have an Automation Anywhere ecosystem, they choose UiPath due to budget and cost. Apart from cost, both platforms offer almost all the features."
"We would like to see improvement around the licensing and multitenancy."
"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."
"The main complaint I receive about UiPath is the pricing."
"Over and above the subscription fees, we're paying probably $51,000 a year right now."
"When it comes to back office licenses, why can't we have parallel processors running on one back office license? I understand the commercial aspect, but when you have servers and a node locked license, you should be able to use the license from different instances."
"Price-wise, it is not the cheapest one on the market, but it provides the fastest automation and the best training that I have ever seen for RPA, through the UiPath Academy."
