UiPath Platform Reviews

I'm working in a consulting company as an RPA developer. We have some projects with clients connected with automations. That is my primary case of using this solution daily. 

We help our clients to improve their businesses, reduce costs, for example, hiring new people to automate repetitive work, to be able to run a process when the need arises 24/7. 

The most valuable features for me in UiPath is the ability to use more than one programming language. We can, of course, drag and drop activities, but it's also possible to run our own code/macro. The second thing which I like the most is the recording ability, all steps which we want to automate can be recorded and directly transferred as a sequence into UiPath.

• I think it would be good to add more activities regarding operations on data tables. 
• The product definitely should be improved in the case of throwing more accurate description of exceptions.

Good in my opinion, we have a lot of possibilities, so it's up to us what we decided to use. We can use state machine which works perfectly or in some small processes choose sequence.

Very good, a very well-developed UiPath forum having a lot of helpful guys. The maximum waiting time for a response is around two days.

I use both tools for automation: Blue Prism and UiPath. The current project runs in UiPath.

I have no idea about pricing, cost, and license.

My advice for future UiPath users is to get familiarized with all documents and online courses provided by UiPath because it's very valuable knowledge.

We are automating all transaction-based processes, primarily in the finance department and sales operations. With this, the personnel involved in these transaction-based activities have been able to start working on more value-added tasks like data analysis and performance management of the operation.

UiPath automation has enabled different organizations with the possibility to redeploy personnel involved in transaction-based activities to do more value-added tasks like data analysis and performance management of the operation.

This automation has not only reduced processing time but also eliminated human errors, driving an improvement in quality scores and CTQs.

Development is straightforward and simple; it uses object-oriented coding by doing drag and drop. The deployment process is quick and easy with great features for testing and troubleshooting.

Reusable components library is an excellent source of information and content to ease and speed up the development process. This feature, combined with a robust infrastructure creates an excellent foundation for driving automation to the next level.

Engagement during the proof of concept period could have been better in regards to the implementation and follow-up. Also, after completing the PoC, we should have done a review of the critical learning and aspects of the application to determine the next steps based on the objectives of the company.

• To execute the automation of ticket creation in ServiceNow 
• For the critical situation: creating an incident 
• For the request: creating a request in ServiceNow.

• Return on investment is high.
• Reduces the time for accomplishing repetitive tasks.
• Allows developers to learn new technology and help in implementing the same.

• UiPath free tool availability and free certification for the developer
• Web service activity is helpful in implementing web-based automation.

• It should add the feature of intelligent automation.
• Also, to interpret human decisions using Amazon Alexa as well as machine learning.

Training with automation use cases including files manipulation, web automation and various desktop applications in the supply chain, HR activities, tax, and financial activities.

UiPath created many opportunities for our company to provide automation solutions for customers due to its powerful set of activities and features.

The Orchestrator and many activities such as those related to web automation and information identification within images (OCR), as well as the possibility of integrating external scripts and libraries within the software.

• Adding a "goto" feature
• Adding "run from this activity"
• Logging events/warnings to log files in order to follow the execution
• Simplify Orchestrator.

Automating HR related processes that need update validation before it proceeds to the next level.

UiPath reduces manual efforts which result in efficient and time-saving automation and result in the benefit of the organization in terms of ROI.

Cognitive analysis is the most valuable feature because it helps to launch our automation smartly with many integrations.

While running the code, if we want to pause it we can't, so it results in some exceptions for attended bots.

• Manual processing of invoices
• Outlook lookups for invoices
• Automatic online checks of Oracle, Hyperion, and SAP platform.

We provide a fast and solid robotic process automation solution to our customers. Robots are easy to understand and deploy. We also perform KT for customers IT department.

UiPath is not an open-source project, but it supports private enhancements and plugins. These allow the community to grow and encouraged people to contribute, with best practices. In my experience, the technologies that are supported by an active community, are those ones destined to succeed. This is clearly a great feature that the UiPath Studio platform has. Also, providing free training courses eases interested developers into adopting the technology.

Having an online Orchestrator instance for training purposes is great also.

I think that a great, nice, must-have feature should be to allow other languages to invoke code blocks beside for VB.NET. I'm confident that this feature can empower more developers to perform tasks and activities that other tools do not support.

It is used widely within our organization. As of right now, we already have a lot of robots in the live environment.

Automation in the data management department to automate few processes to help the operation team increase their production.

Reading content for the robot to process with our own logic, and it is very easy to develop with great user interfaces.

Handling if-else statements for schedules. It would be great if it had elements which could take care of running the job.

It's really easy to learn. We have been able to automate some of the tasks we do here in the company. We can replace human workers doing labor-intensive repetitive tasks, and focus them on other more difficult ones — no need to spend money on training new people, hiring, etc. Just as we built the bot, it will do it all on its own.

Our company is focusing on the healthcare industry. We billed forms to the insurance companies, and we have to receive the payments and update their respective patient. We work with denials, exceptions, explanations of benefits. We also get information that needs to be updated in the system. Sadly, all this is inside a "Citrix environment," so we are a little slow at the time of developing our bots. But we know that this will bring great benefits to our company in the near future.

• UiPath has been of great help when planning on reducing cost in our production.
• Improvement in quality, as the bot is more accurate
• No need to spend money on training new people, hiring, etc.

The abrupt updates have been an issue for me at the time of developing my bots. I've been getting errors every time an update is made, slowing my developments and automation. It will be good if they could start sending an email to the users letting them know about future coming updates so they can be prepared.

Also, having up-to-date training material would be really awesome, we have found that some documents inside the Academy are pretty old (maybe 2 yrs already?) So it would be awesome if they could have those up to date.

Setting Uipath is really easy and they have a LOT of training information in their Academy, so no way you will get lost

Pricing, a little bit expensive but it will be worth it at the end, as you will ended up reducing human for the bots

The other options we looked at were Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism. But comparing pricing, ease of used, and training Materials we believed that Uipath was our best option.
