UiPath Platform Reviews

Our use case involves automations with UI and also with the invoke code that is available in the back end, in the background, and for different departments, so we do not focus only on one department.

The best features I appreciate about UiPath Platform are that it is very user-friendly, so even though I started as a Java developer, I believe that someone without a lot of knowledge or experience in the programming part can use it.

The improvements I have seen in my business with UiPath Platform are that it makes the automation really fast and it also helps the BPO to understand what we are doing, so when we do the UAT, we do not just show the source codes; they can actually see the thumbnails, explain better, and with the diagrams can have an overview and also modify or give further notice or guidance regarding the flow.

In UiPath Platform, I think there is room for improvement with the last release because they had some UI bugs; there are some buttons that do not work, and perhaps they should make it a little bit clearer which libraries are available or if they are deprecated, as we have had some issues with the libraries where they are working in some Studios but not in others, so the release management of the libraries needs attention.

I have been using UiPath Platform since 2019, so I have experience since that time.

I would say we have had some downtime and bugs, but it was because we are on-cloud, and it was a global issue.

I would rate the stability of UiPath Platform at seven or eight.

I find scalability similar to that rating.

I use the UiPath Platform user community, specifically the forum, but I notice that there are some threads that are quite old or unresponded, meaning that someone puts a question, and they do not have a follow-up for the solution.

Positive

I have never used any other products to compare with UiPath Platform.

On average, I would say UiPath Platform has reduced human error by 60-70 percent.

I do not use the agentic automation with UiPath Platform.

I do not monitor a lot the messages and the releases, so when I have an update of a Studio, I just search it.

I have taken the UiPath Academy courses for the advanced certification.

My experience with the UiPath Academy courses is that, because I took that course in 2019, there were some bugs that did not work, so even though the solutions I uploaded were correct, they wanted a specific way; but I believe that is something they have improved since then.

I find it complex to work with UiPath Platform.

It takes at least once per year for some cases and some applications where we should have a review for maintenance.

Overall, I believe it can be improved.

I would recommend UiPath Platform to other users; my advice would be that for some cases where there is not a necessity for monitoring or UI interface automation, there is no reason to use UiPath Platform, meaning there are more Windows-based solutions for automation, so it does not need everything to be done with RPA technology.

My main use case for UiPath Platform is Finance RPAs.

Since we are not in the cloud, one of the features of UiPath Platform that I enjoy the most is Document Understanding. In the back office applications such as employee onboarding, the features of UiPath Platform have been a great benefit to us.

I don't think I'm capable of answering that, especially since I'm still not in the cloud. I believe that there are so many things that we as a company have to benefit from, and I don't have any comment yet as to what something new should be in the program.

I have been using UiPath Platform for about five years.

I have not experienced any downtime, crashes, or performance issues with UiPath Platform.

UiPath Platform grows well with the growing needs of my organization, but we haven't maximized its full potential.

I would evaluate my customer service and technical support experience with UiPath Platform as good to fair. On a scale from one being the worst to ten being the best, I would rate my customer service and technical support as eight, because I believe that our current partner needs to analyze other partners to make sure that we get a better experience.

Positive

Before selecting UiPath Platform, we analyzed Automation Anywhere, but we decided to stay with UiPath.

We don't have any issues when it comes to the deployment, especially because I believe we've had good partners that have guided us in this process. My experience with deploying UiPath Platform has been good.

We have basically made sure that the talent that we have inside the team is prepared for understanding our partners and taking our strategy to that next level, which has been the biggest benefit that I have seen from using UiPath Academy.

The return on investment has been significant, especially in finance and reconciliation. With UiPath Platform, something that used to take two weeks to be done is now completed in one day. This has helped us save in terms of FTEs that we used to hire for this specific process and avoid human errors, which gave us penalties, financial penalties in this case.

The pricing, setup cost, and licensing for UiPath Platform are great. We don't have any issue with the pricing, and I think it's fair. With the amount of capabilities that we can get, it's good pricing.

The follow-up from the account executive during my evaluation process of UiPath Platform stood out both positively and negatively.

We've expanded usage of UiPath Platform. I would advise that before determining the license for UiPath Platform, one should first determine the strategy. Once you have that, then select the right UiPath product for that specific strategy.

On a scale from one being the worst to ten being the best, I would rate my overall experience with UiPath Platform as a seven.

My main use cases for UiPath Platform at SAP, where I've only been for two years, mostly involve in-house applications. 

We build bridges. We use RPA as a bridge between different in-house applications. It's mostly web automation or database-related. That's what we have now, but we are in a transformation phase to SAP, so we're hoping to implement UiPath Platform there.

The examples I can provide about how these features have benefited my organization include the capability to work with all other applications. We have many in-house applications, and using UiPath Platform, I'm able to build that connection using APIs or directly with the database.

The feature I most appreciate about UiPath Platform is the Orchestrator.

I faced challenges after migrating to cloud recently. We were on-prem in our organization, and since we migrated to cloud, when we were on-prem, all the jobs were working. We never had any issues with processes getting stuck or triggers. We had a smooth running of processes for a very long time.

Recently, we migrated to cloud and we are seeing issues with jobs getting stuck without any reason. It's not in any loop or anything. When I see the logs, it shows that it started, but nothing after that in the logs. That's something I'm yet to figure out what is happening. I just noticed this one or two days before I came to the Fusion, so I don't know what's happening.

I have been using UiPath Platform since 2017.

I haven't really faced any issues with the stability and reliability of UiPath Platform, so it's really reliable. 

The only bad experience I had was after the cloud migration, with these bots getting stuck. I'm yet to dig deep into it. I don't know what's happening. Those were the same processes that were running on-prem for a very long time continuously without any issues. 

I just noticed it one day before coming here, so I don't know if it's something on our side. I have to research. If I don't find anything, I'll definitely reach out to our UiPath contact.

UiPath Platform scales with our growing needs of the organization.  We have expanded usage. We have two teams internally in our organization. We had around ten bots altogether, but we recently moved it up to 15.

I evaluate my customer service and technical support experience as very responsive. We've got all our tickets or concerns looked at very fast.

Positive

Prior to adopting UiPath Platform at SAP, I was using another solution in my previous organization. We started with a different tool. I was there at that time, but that was not as good as UiPath Platform.

I would describe my experience with deploying UiPath Platform as very easy.

I have seen a return on investment with UiPath Platform. We do monitor our ROI for every project we deploy to production. We do see a great return on investment, and that's why we continue to use it. At SAP, we have been using it since 2018, so we are continuing to use it because of the return on investment.

What was better about UiPath Platform compared to my last program was its compatibility with other applications. In 2017, when all these platforms were new, the other tool I was using didn't have as much compatibility with other applications. Also, for creating triggers at that time for that application, we had to use other batch jobs. UiPath Platform had all that in the Orchestrator.

My advice to another organization considering using UiPath Platform is that it will definitely save a lot of time. It's highly recommended, but do your research before deciding which feature to use. There are many options available, so consider the ROI before picking AI or the feature. 

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate UiPath Platform a nine.

I mostly use the UiPath Platform for robotic automation.

We use both attended and unattended automation options within the UiPath Platform. The unattended automation is good, but we have some performance issues with some of the systems we are working on. However, it fulfills the purpose for our work.

The best features I appreciate about the UiPath Platform include the ability to enable some components to be used, as well as the dashboards for logging and the bots' performance after deployment. It is also easy to use.

I assess the impact of the analytic capabilities on my decision-making process positively, as we provide this for customers running their business to see how much they're saving on efficiency or I advise them on the best use cases to invest in.

We haven't worked much with AI features, but I am looking for some features there. Overall, it provides us with what we need the most. 

They can perhaps make the customizations and configurations for reuse easier for the developers, as it would help to expedite things.

I have about four or five years of experience.

We do not have downtime with the UiPath Platform, although we may have some minor issues or unhandled exceptions, but it's fine. I can say that we do not have downtime. I would rate the stability of the UiPath Platform as a nine out of ten.

The UiPath Platform is fulfilling the purpose so far. We don't have issues.

In my organization, around 150 specialists work with the UiPath Platform. Most of our clients are enterprises in care services or telecommunication.

I would rate the UiPath Platform's technical support an eight out of ten.

Positive

I didn't do its deployment myself, but from the feedback I get from the team, it's fine. It's not complex.

For my clients, the average deployment time is days.

It is based on the use case. If the use case needs several bots, it gets expensive.

I find the UiPath Platform much more efficient and easier than Blue Prism, and it offers many more features than Power Automate, so it strikes a perfect balance.

I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

The tremendous benefit comes from how these features of UiPath Platform have benefited our organization. We have implemented close to 100 automation for our finance teams, supply chain teams, IT teams, and even some for HR. The efficiency gain is tremendous.

The features of UiPath Platform that I prefer most are UiPath Studio and UiPath Orchestrator. We have not yet started using the Agentic AI features, so we are still on the legacy platform system, but we are in the process of moving our platform to the cloud. From November, we would have the Agentic capabilities.

We have been using UiPath Platform for six years so far.

I assess the stability and reliability of UiPath Platform as phenomenal. Over six years, we have created zero support cases with UiPath.

UiPath Platform scales very effectively from the growing needs of my organization without any problems.

Before adopting UiPath Platform, we were using Selenium, an open-source tool for automation. Some people were using Python code for automation. Then we realized it was time to purchase a product or software that handles automation instead of all the pocket automation that everybody was building. That was the rationale to implement UiPath Platform.

My experience with deploying UiPath Platform was easy and everything worked efficiently during deployment.

I have seen a return on investment with UiPath Platform, but I cannot share specific data points.

My experience with the pricing, setup costs, and licensing of UiPath Platform has been pretty decent so far.

We looked at a bunch of automation tools in the market in 2019 before selecting UiPath Platform. We evaluated UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism, and Microsoft Power Automate, but ultimately chose UiPath Platform because it was and remains the market leader.

Many positive aspects stood out in my evaluation process when comparing options for UiPath Platform, such as how robust the tool is and how it works efficiently and seamlessly with multiple technologies. It functions effectively with web-based automation, SAP, Salesforce, and other platforms. UiPath Platform fits efficiently into all these ecosystems, which was one of the reasons to choose it. Besides cost and other factors, the adoption in the industry and the number of references we received were very positive about UiPath Platform.

My advice to another organization considering UiPath Platform is to adopt it and start automating without delay.

The factors that led me to consider a change before using UiPath Platform were mostly scalability and harmonization. We didn't want everybody in the organization to use different tools for automation. It had to be unified because we are a large enterprise. One tool makes sense. From a cost perspective, not the license cost, but the maintenance cost is important. If everybody writes their own piece of software or code for automation, support becomes problematic. There's no unification. Support, cost, scalability, and reliability were key factors in propelling us towards a software automation tool.

UiPath Platform is doing a good job with respect to connecting to other ecosystems and platforms. Looking at the announcement today, they're connecting to Salesforce, LlamaIndex, and Microsoft. That's a good sign. I think everybody is building Agentic stuff and Agentic AI, and most platforms work seamlessly from service providers and competitors. The key is to provide easier integration for people to build and develop by providing numerous connection tools.

The way we have expanded our usage of UiPath Platform is very prudent and judicious in how we leverage the bots. We try to maximize bot utilization rather than purchasing additional bots. We use the bots repeatedly, depending on the schedule, fitting the available bots across multiple schedules. We have expanded, but not necessarily in terms of purchasing additional bots.

I would rate UiPath Platform overall a 10 out of 10.

Our communications company intends to use UiPath and AI to determine the best fit and time for commercials based on the customer's usage and payment for the spot. We haven't fully deployed AI, yet. It's becoming more critical to leadership, but we're still doing testing and researching

Our goal with AI is to significantly reduce the manual effort needed to determine where to place ads. We don't have enough human resources to place spots around the clock, so we want UiPath to fill in the gaps by augmenting existing staff without hiring people.

Our leaders and stakeholders are pleased with the RPA results and want to expand our usage. We're still waiting to implement AI. 

Orchestrator is the most valuable feature.

UiPath could improve on-prem availability. I would like to see a load-testing feature, but that's coming.

We have been using UiPath for about three years.

We've never had any issues with stability. 

We just keep adding bots and have not encountered any problems expanding.

I rate UiPath customer service nine out of 10. Overall, it's been great, but in a handful of cases, we've dealt with someone at support whose ability wasn't quite where we wanted it to be.

Positive

We previously used Pega, but our leaders decided to switch to UiPath 

I can't quantify the amount of time we've saved with UiPath, but we've reduced our headcount by about 10 percent. We're not laying people off, but we can backfill employee positions with automation as they leave.

UiPath is perceived as more expensive, but it's pretty close when you break down the licensing model and look at how much competitors charge per connection. We've done the analysis.  

I rate UiPath nine out of 10 because we can't use the cloud stuff yet. If we were on the cloud, I would give it a perfect 10.

My main case use for UiPath Platform would be to automate user experience and make it faster.

The feature I appreciate the most on UiPath Platform is the web interface. I work primarily on the supporting end in the backend, so that's my go-to place to troubleshoot. These features have benefited my organization by helping eliminate waste.

My teams have used the vendor's UiPath Academy courses. The biggest benefit from UiPath Academy is understanding the process better, as it provided a good introduction when we didn't know what was happening beforehand.

My experience with the UiPath user community shows that talking to people in similar situations is valuable for troubleshooting. 

I would love to see UiPath Platform improved by having a better mobile application. Currently, while the web portion is available, the mobile app needs significant improvement.

I have been using UiPath Platform for the last 18 months.

I have not experienced any performance issues with UiPath Platform that I am aware of, and I would have known.

UiPath Platform scales effectively with our growing organizational needs. We are utilizing what we have, and if we need more, it's fairly easy to add more afterward. Though there is a cost associated with scaling, the platform remains scalable.

I have expanded my usage of UiPath Platform.

I would evaluate customer service and technical support for UiPath Platform as great. We have had no issues with support.

Positive

Prior to adopting UiPath Platform, we were considering the Microsoft solution to address similar needs, but we never implemented it.

My experience with deploying UiPath Platform was easy. We had assistance.

The process was smooth. We had help setting up the new virtual services.

I cannot share specific data points, however, I have seen a return on investment with UiPath Platform in terms of hours saved. I am not familiar with the financial aspects.

Regarding pricing, setup costs, and licensing for UiPath Platform, I don't see any of that information. From what I've heard, it's expensive and could be more affordable.

I was not part of the evaluation process for other solutions before selecting UiPath Platform.

We are not currently using the generative AI. 

My advice to organizations considering UiPath Platform is to find a good partner to work with. Having someone with prior knowledge to help is essential, especially in the beginning, as you might feel lost otherwise.

I rate UiPath Platform a ten out of ten.

The best features of UiPath Platform include their document extracting technique and OCR, which are highly effective, as well as their data management and implementation methods. Their exception handling capabilities are particularly strong in this regard. The valuable features of UiPath Studio that have helped in designing automation processes include document understanding to process or scan documents, recent authentic automation that's currently in high demand, and their UI apps integrated with the studio, along with their assistance to trigger the process from the client side.

UiPath Orchestrator has been essential in managing automated tasks for my organization, as it is a must-use feature. Without the orchestrator, I cannot control my project or automation. If I want to trigger the process either by time or any event, I have to use the orchestrator to check the status of the jobs running and the output. Additionally, if an exception occurs, I can only see it on the orchestrator; it is a crucial component, as without it, I cannot monitor my jobs.

The best features of UiPath Platform include their document extracting technique and OCR capabilities. UiPath Studio has been valuable in designing automation processes through its document understanding functionality, authentic automation capabilities, and UI apps integration. The orchestrator has proven essential for managing automated tasks, controlling projects, and monitoring job status and exceptions.

There needs to be more user use cases in their demo, as the current use cases are very basic. They should include moderate use cases with varying difficulty because implementing a project using only simple use cases is insufficient. They have numerous features that cannot be covered completely in their tutorial, so adding instructions and small videos about particular features or assets would enable users to understand how to use these features without requiring additional training from the academy or other portals.

I have been using the solution for three to four years.

Regarding stability, I would rate it as nine because they are updating their features very frequently, which requires us to manage with their frequent releases.

The scalability of UiPath Platform deserves a rating of nine as I haven't encountered any issues in this regard.

The technical support for UiPath Platform deserves ten out of ten. They are available within a given time, and their support is strong, with a very robust community portal from which I can get support directly.

When comparing UiPath Platform with other automation tools such as Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere, and Kofax, I find that in terms of quality and features, UiPath Platform is superior. They have numerous features, and their OCRs can process handwritten documents.

On a scale from one to ten, I rate the overall solution as nine because of its frequent modifications, and developers need to stay up to date with the release documents. What stands out about UiPath Platform is its feature set compared to other tools. I would recommend this product to other users because of its extensive features. While I'm not certain about its cost comparison to others, feature-wise, it is better than its competitors. It offers multiple capabilities that some automation tools don't currently provide, so if the product is within budget, users should opt for UiPath Platform.
