Automation has reduced manual reporting tasks and improved delivery speed
Software AG ARIS Robotic Process Automation has an opportunity to be improved in many ways, especially with AI. I see some improvements there and it can definitely be enhanced. Maybe even leveraging the cloud product rather than having Software AG ARIS Robotic Process Automation running on your local network would help. Because now you need to connect through a VPN. I understand because organizations don't want to share their data. However, using it as a subscription service can help to connect from anywhere. But then you just need to make sure that the data also complies with the POPI Act and all of those other acts for protecting the data.

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 automation features of Software AG ARIS Robotic Process Automation have assisted us to deliver quickly, especially if you have captured everything on ARIS, then you just need to run a report, and some of the elements are automated."
"Allowing us to interface local data with Citrix environments is going to be a big deal."
"This is the simple solution that fulfills the requirement by using a bot to enter data into any third-party application easily, not only entering data but also increasing accuracy and speed, reducing human interaction, and saving money for your company by working 24/7 without a salary or using your resources."
"The most value we got from UiPath is the ability to automate manual tasks, reduce labor hours, and shift people to higher value work."
"We're just starting to use UiPath now, but the automation process which reduces human intervention is the one we like most."
"We also have some report automations which we did with UiPath Platform, and they get done now in one-hundredth of the time that it used to be done before and without any errors."
"Insights have been super valuable because they help us determine the benefits of our bots."
"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."
"UiPath has helped us improve our efficiency, and the quality of our deliverables has increased by many folds."
 

Cons

"Software AG ARIS Robotic Process Automation has an opportunity to be improved in many ways, especially with AI."
"We'd like more onboarding features for new people."
"To provide detailed analysis, there has to be some improvements so we can provide drill-down data to developers showing, "Hey, this has gone wrong." If they could also incorporate that as part of the reports, then it would be very quick to view on the dashboards."
"From the UiPath product perspective, this might be a problem because we're on-prem, but they add new functionalities pretty rapidly. It feels like there are releases constantly, and I don't want to update it too often."
"Our challenge with UiPath is getting the infrastructure assets up to speed, particularly on the Orchestrator side. However, I just now came from a demo for UiPath Web, and it seems to be to enable serverless robots, which would definitely be a lower barrier to entry."
"I think UiPath Academy is a little confusing."
"From a licensing and pricing perspective, scaling becomes challenging."
"The pricing is high and has room for improvement."
"The cost of full deployment is high and there is room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of UiPath is higher than competitors, although the cost depends on what functionality and tools you require"
"I'm not sure about licensing and pricing, but the pricing for their certification is a little bit more. Previously, we could do it for no price."
"The pricing is average; it is not too high nor too low."
"The solution's pricing is fair."
"It is based on the use case. If the use case needs several bots, it gets expensive."
"An area for improvement comes down to licensing. We need to sell UiPath to our company first... If we could have more of a trial period, since we're already licensed with Studio, and go through that trial period for key applications to see if they can benefit us, that would be helpful."
"I find UiPath a reasonably priced solution."
"From a cost perspective, unattended robots are better."
