CV
CTO at Atheneum
Simplifies integrations and is suitable for large companies
Sometimes, when our company develops using the latest technology, the knowledge is not yet cycled down to the tool's support team. The tool's support team is not mature enough to handle the tool. The promotion of a feature before it is mature may cause issues, and I feel that sometimes the deployment of such features is a little too early. The tool will release a feature, but it will have bugs in it. We face challenges because the tool's team doesn't have the knowledge to deal with the issues in the product's new features. When SAP develops something, if the tool's team doesn't know how to support it, it becomes a problem because now we have to access developers to get the information that is not readily available.

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 most valuable feature of the solution is that it offers an integrated development environment."
"Building automation using the solution is easy."
"UiPath allows people to do more value-added work. I found that we were able to take a person well versed in access programming and convert them to be an RPA developer with relative ease."
"Both on-prem and cloud solutions are very stable."
"The Orchestrator and the Studio are the features that I personally enjoy using."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is user-friendly."
"The deployment is pretty straightforward."
"The code-free automation engine of UiPath Platform saves considerable time by eliminating human intervention, and all validations and data fetching are handled by UiPath Platform, removing the need for manual automation."
"I appreciate the simplicity of the interface as I am learning to be a developer."
 

Cons

"The tool's support team is not mature enough to handle the tool."
"While I like the Academy a lot, it could maybe go deeper into some of the topics."
"StudioX could use some improvement to broaden the range of automation projects suitable."
"The cognitive capabilities of UiPath are pretty time-consuming. If that can be improved, it would help a lot."
"An area which the UiPath team is rapidly working on is machine learning and artificial intelligence. At the moment, it is a little difficult to understand. If they could add some more training on it in their Academy, it would help customers to learn about these features."
"The license model changing every year can be a little bit frustrating. It's hard sometimes when things go from being robot-based to being runtime-based."
"They could add enhancements in AI technology that could be helpful for everyday developers."
"Previous Orchestrator versions were very user-friendly for the admins and the users, but the new Orchestrator is a bit advanced. If they could reduce its complexity, to something more like what it used to be like, it would be better."
"My experience with the pricing, setup costs, and licensing for UiPath Platform is that I think it's very expensive; when comparing it to Power Automate or another company, Power Automate is obviously cheaper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is not cheaply priced."
"Annually, the product saves us 25,000 hours. Everyone is satisfied with that."
"Its pricing seems reasonable. I know we've been able to get a good amount of value in a few years. Our breakeven was only in year two. So, we're approaching breakeven in our licensing program. It's not a cheap product by any means, but the value that can be returned on an ROI basis is quite high."
"Attended is fairly cheap. Anytime you bring in Orchestrator, that starts to become a little more expensive. I'm a little concerned about all the new SKUs that are coming in and the products associated with them. I am really interested in finding out if someone wanted a full product suite, what kind of money are they looking at annually."
"Overall, I think that the pricing is reasonable and it is similar to competitors."
"There are cheaper options than UiPath."
"From what I know, UiPath's licensing has a reasonable cost."
"This solution is worth the investment."
"This solution is not cheap but the price is worth it because by following the documentation and using the support, you get good robotic processes that are stable."
