UiPath Platform Reviews

I have utilized all the spheres and all the domains of UiPath Platform while automating processes in the industries of banking, manufacturing, telecom, and shared services. I have automated processes for each department of these organizations, including finance, accounts, HR, IT, and security.

When automating things, I follow the approach of understanding whether any other more stable, integrated API is available for the system before implementing RPA. I try to implement that first and then incorporate RPA into the improved process. I have done attended automation, unattended automation, and human-assisted automations.

The most attractive feature of UiPath Platform is that it is user-friendly and now it is well accepted and available in all parts of the world. If you want to understand anything, it is not a big deal in comparison to other products. Its usability is quite easy for anyone who does not have technical knowledge but still can use this software based on the business process they know.

UiPath Platform stands out for me because of its usability, its diversification, its integration, and having multiple options for the same thing in different ways. For example, you have the option of sending email not only through Outlook but through multiple options. This diversification sets it out. Additionally, its magnitude allows it to deal with any kind of large process. Recently I completed an automation where there was an invoice with more than a thousand PDF pages, and UiPath Platform was still able to process that invoice, extract the data, and feed it into the ERP system.

UiPath Platform's stability is far better compared to any other RPA product. For scalability, I rate it seven out of ten because it is highly scalable as far as you want, provided a person is willing to spend money on it.

UiPath Platform pricing is high. Whenever an organization tries to opt for UiPath Platform, the real question comes regarding its price. It is too high, and most of the time, business cases fail because of its high price. When utilization is considered, UiPath Platform is far better. Only organizations that have big budgets are able to utilize this project; otherwise, their costs are high.

Pricing can be improved, and one important thing is that if they have designed the product so that the latest versions are available, then they should give a heads up to all their customers that from now onwards, this will be the latest version and the previous version's activities are not supported by us. This way, people can be encouraged to use only the available new activities instead of the older ones.

I have been using UiPath Platform for more than ten years.

I would give five out of ten. It is mediocre.

A person coming to a meeting to discuss any scenario should not tell us that this is not their domain. Even if that is not their domain, they should take that person with them for the technical support because we are there to ask them instead of just getting the answer that the person is not available and that we can deal with this later. This is not the way.

Additionally, they have increased some prices while providing support. If we have to have a meeting with them, they have started charging for that. I think this is wrong because UiPath Platform is already expensive, and this will increase its cost further.

I used to use UiPath Platform community previously, but after AI-generated tools such as Copilot of Microsoft and ChatGPT, I prefer using these tools because they give an exact answer to your question instead of lingering on multiple things on the internet. I prefer using these tools because even if I want something, it gives me the source, indicating that this is from the source.

Return on investment is all about your planning. If you are planning to get the return on investment, then you have to choose only those cases which will give you a benefit in terms of time-saving. If someone is making a business case of time-saving as well as error handling and critical processes, then return on investment will be very low.

At the initial level, I have selected some five processes and defined the return on investment, which should be properly documented and accepted by the customer. What happens practically the next day when the bot is live is that people say they thought the return on investment could have been ten percent, but practically they are getting one percent. This should not happen. Things should be locked in from the start. If we plan properly, we can definitely get a return on investment of more than thirty percent.

I have used UiPath Platform, Automation Anywhere, and Power Automate of Microsoft.

I would rate Automation Anywhere second because it has improved itself in the past few years. Power Automate is a product which is more focused and related to Microsoft. If an organization is Microsoft-driven, it should use Power Automate, but it cannot handle big magnitudes and complex data. If we talk about diversification, complexity, and variety, UiPath Platform stands out in comparison to any other product. Though it is an expensive one.

UiPath Platform Academy is good and it helps to learn, but honestly, there are some questions in their course whose answers are wrong. For example, I have witnessed that they ask a question in their academy to select multiple answers from the following options. Someone selecting multiple is wrong, but they are telling in their solution that the answer is only one. Similarly, in the previous course, the answer was different and in the next course, the answer was different. They should review their test and exam questions.

For Agentic AI and AI both, I can answer consolidatedly that people want to use it, but people are not sure what they want out of it. For example, IT security is a thing and it has humongous policies in its domain. Whenever I try to ask people to start using Agentic AI in IT security instead of just the lengthy IT security approval process, we can create an agentic bot which can tell that your parameters given for this particular thing are correct or not. If they are correct, simply go ahead. If not, then reject the case. This can increase efficiency. Practically, such cases are not there for people to accept them to automate. The reason being there are two fears: one, people still do not trust AI. Secondly, people still believe that if everything will be automated, what will they do? This is a fear of loss.

One more thing regarding Agentic AI which is very important that we have to tell people and even our customers is that agentic is not a robust and quick solution. To implement a proper solution of AI, whether Agentic AI, Generative AI, end-to-end AI, or any other AI solution, it takes time, sometimes more than a year. People believe that they have invested money on it, so they get the return the next day. This will not happen. This is also important to communicate.

I would rate this review overall at seven out of ten.

UiPath Platform offers numerous scenarios for implementation. I think of it as building robots that connect systems that would not normally be able to talk to each other. For instance, automating tasks on different systems such as collecting data from an Excel file and loading it to a web application or a CRM. For example, a bot can scrape all the bestsellers on AWS. You can use it to collect data repeatedly, and that automation will also be able to load it into an application through the user interface, mimicking human actions. I have used it in the insurance sector where I am automating claim registration on the system.

The main task of RPA with UiPath Platform is to reduce the manual workload in offices, especially for repetitive tasks. For example, someone keeps typing every day while going through PDF files and capturing the data into a system. With UiPath Platform, you can reduce inaccuracy and process many documents very quickly using RPA robots. A good scenario is a company receiving hundreds of invoices through email from customers. The bot can monitor the inbox, extract the attached files, extract data using OCR, and log in to an application to load the data correctly.

The use of agentic automation in UiPath Platform has transformed from rule-based logic using if statements to AI agents that analyze data to make decisions. This is particularly useful when dealing with unstructured data, such as invoices with different layouts. AI can classify and extract data accurately.

I have worked with both Azure Cloud and AWS and Google Cloud for UiPath Platform. In most of the cases that I work on, we deploy the bot in containers. You will build desktop servers using platforms such as Azure DevOps because we are Agile. The key is to use a cloud environment to clone production configurations to avoid bot failures during deployment.

Positive

UiPath Platform's ability to automate repetitive tasks and maintain accuracy is a significant improvement for organizations. By reducing manual workloads, companies can process more documents efficiently. AI enhances the automation capabilities when analyzing unstructured data, offering accurate data extraction even with varying document layouts. This advancement reduces the chance of errors and improves turnaround times significantly.

Another standout feature of UiPath Platform is its stability and reliability, especially when compared to other technologies such as WorkFusion. The platform offers a robust framework, which simplifies building complex automations. It integrates seamlessly with external systems, using tools such as managed packages to connect with services such as AWS, Salesforce, and SAP. UiPath Platform's capacity to work with AI and machine learning via Document Understanding adds further value.

UiPath Academy provides excellent resources for mastering advanced components such as AI Actions and Orchestrator, allowing users to schedule processes and implement triggers for automations. Furthermore, UiPath Platform offers a community where users can quickly find support and share knowledge, enabling the construction of complex automation solutions.

Positive

The cost of licensing and using UiPath Platform is a primary area for improvement, particularly for small businesses. While large companies might see a return on investment, the steep pricing can be prohibitive for smaller enterprises trying to implement RPA solutions.

In past versions, issues with web application selectors were a concern, where dynamic elements could cause the bot to fail. These issues have seen improvements, with methods such as using anchors to locate elements more effectively. However, ensuring consistent and stable deployments across different environments remains a challenge due to possible variations in environment settings that might cause some components to fail.

Positive

All this time when I worked with other tools, it was not by my choice. I started in 2021 with UiPath Platform and used it for two years and three months.

Positive

UiPath Platform is very stable. It is reliable and keeps evolving. I have been leveraging what I call UiPath Platform Document Understanding, which is built on AI Center, enabling us to process documents efficiently. It comes with a lot of tools that make it easier to create stable automations.

Positive

UiPath Platform is very stable, reliable, and easy to scale. It integrates with systems such as AWS, Salesforce, and SAP. The framework provided allows for building scalable and reliable bots that meet non-functional requirements.

Positive

UiPath Platform user community is very responsive. People are quick to respond when I post issues, enabling the building of complex automations by leveraging the community's knowledge.

UiPath Academy and the documentation are useful. Although I have not completed the Academy course myself, it provides study materials in text and video, helping users understand components and action activities thoroughly.

Positive

I started with UiPath Platform and later was introduced to WorkFusion out of curiosity about different RPA technologies. This was not by choice as I wanted to understand UiPath Platform's benefits and weaknesses.

Positive

If you leverage the framework to build your bot, you are already prepared to handle exceptions. UiPath Platform provides its own tools for locating issues and facilitating integration with CI pipelines, enhancing the building, testing, and deploying processes.

Positive

In most of the cases that I work on, we deploy the bot in containers. The environment is built to mimic a production setting, ensuring smooth integration and deployment.

Positive

You will get a good return on investment with UiPath Platform. Large companies, in particular, expect to see UiPath Platform when they work on RPA projects. It excels in versatility, working across web and desktop applications, where other tools might fall short.

Positive

The pricing of UiPath Platform can be a barrier. Comparing it with other RPA tools, the licensing cost can be high, which is especially challenging for small businesses. Larger companies are more likely to achieve a return on investment due to greater utilization of the platform's capabilities.

Positive

I used to compare UiPath Platform with Microsoft Power Automate, which now also has advanced workflows with triggers. However, UiPath Platform remains ahead due to its new capabilities and resolved issues with selectors.

Positive

The use of agentic automation in UiPath Platform allows for decision-making based on data analysis. Previously, bots relied on predefined rules, but now they can use AI agents to improve decision-making accuracy.

The challenge for RPA with UiPath Platform is mainly in document processing, especially in large enterprises. Automation, enhanced by AI, brings significant benefits to handling approvals and other document-intensive tasks.

I would rate this review an 8 overall.

Positive

Our main use cases for UiPath Platform are mainly back office revenue cycle tasks, including claim statusing, prior authorization, notice of admission, and denials, which is a big one that we're working on now.

Another process we're looking into is credentialing. We have a few use cases in the pipeline that we're looking to tackle next year, which include Agentic AI or Agentic Automation capabilities such as Agent, Builder, Orchestration, testing, or Autopilot. 

The biggest part for us in implementing Agentic Automation is the denial space, especially for the appeal letter process. One specific use case that we're wanting to automate with Agentic revolves around our utilization review, where our nurses work through appeals from different payers for DRG downgrades, as all the denials come in from different payers through faxes; we're hoping to have the agent determine what type of document it is so it understands what RPA process to kick off with it. We have started testing this use case, however, it's probably not something that we'll finish this current year; we've started building the RPA processes and we're still working on the agentic piece to solve that.

For the Agentic capabilities, the biggest feature functions as a human that can delegate work, which has been the best use case for us to keep the human in the loop as much as possible, only bringing them in when there are exceptions that come up. From what I've seen while assessing Agentic Automation's ability to extract data points, it extracts the information really effectively, especially with Document Understanding and IAXP Document Understanding, which has been amazing with the way that we're able to use that and correctly identify the type of document that we're looking at at the time.

I estimate that with this new Agentic Automation, we will save roughly 4,400 documents a month, saving approximately ten minutes for each document. From RPA, the benefits so far are significant; our healthcare system is expanding and we need new people, however, after COVID, people are getting more expensive and we just don't have the budget, so RPA has been huge in allowing our current workforce to stay the right size and we use automation to really handle those tedious processes, saving money from a people perspective and capturing denials a lot faster, enabling us to appeal in a timely manner. For revenue cycle alone, we have saved roughly 800,000 year to date right now.

The main factors that led us to consider transitioning to an RPA solution were driven by the bankruptcy of our vendor for claim status, prompting us to find a solution, and the cost of RPA turned out to be roughly the same as what we paid the vendor, offering claim status plus more for the same expense.

I am utilizing UiPath Platform community.

I don't have any improvements for UiPath Platform, as we are behind; UiPath Platform is consistently coming out with updates and features, but we are just now starting to implement Agents and Agentic. 

One of the biggest pain points for us is that while they have solution decks to help build solutions faster, if they developed more of a framework for areas we don't understand, indicating how to generate ROI or compress time to build automation, that would be beneficial.

I have been using UiPath Platform for coming up on two years.

I assess the stability and reliability of UiPath Platform and its robots as great, especially after resolving the hybrid issue with the bots going down; we haven't had any issues since.

I evaluate UiPath Platform support as very knowledgeable; they respond quickly, and while they may not always have immediate answers, they know who to contact to resolve issues, which has been effective for us during the two times we've needed their support. 

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate them a nine. The only reason for subtracting a point is the occasional delay in getting the right people available to address the issues; although the initial documentation of the problems is thorough, sometimes it isn't enough.

Positive

Prior to adopting UiPath Platform, we used Python code or simple macros through various applications.

Deployment was good. We're a part of the Enterprise Success Program. When we joined UiPath, no one on my team had UiPath experience. So everything that was learned was either through the UiPath learning plans or through our technical account manager. We met with our TAM once a week, sometimes two, three times a week as far as training, helping us build our automations, and also with code reviews and making sure that things are really meeting the standards that we need.

I estimate that with this new Agentic Automation, we will save roughly 4,400 documents a month, saving approximately ten minutes for each document.

We did consider Blue Prism as Power Automate before choosing UiPath Platform. 

The main differences I found between these platforms and UiPath Platform pertained to pros and cons; UiPath Platform provided a comprehensive package catering to our needs while Power Automate seemed too focused on Microsoft products, and Blue Prism was good. 

UiPath Platform was easier for my team, who had no development background, to learn and build quickly.

My job title is Director, Revenue Cycle Informatics. According to my job function, I have six years of experience. We are just now starting to implement Agents and Agentic. The value I gain from being part of UiPath Platform user community is great; it has helped us in many places where we have been stuck, as other customers have experienced similar issues; for instance, we had connection issues with our hybrid deployment and found a lot of information through the community, which helped get our bots up 99% of the time, compared to roughly 60% before. UiPath Platform is growing with the needs of our organization, and I credit my account exec for helping us find use cases and ensure we utilize all elements we are currently paying for. One specific use case that we're wanting to automate with Agentic revolves around our utilization review, where our nurses work through appeals from different payers for DRG downgrades, as all the denials come in from different payers through faxes; we're hoping to have the agent determine what type of document it is so it understands what RPA process to kick off with it. I rate UiPath Platform a 10 out of 10.

I works primarily with Maestro Flow, Agents and IXP to consolidate data from multiple systems during a booking process. Documents are gathered and combined, then IXP extracts the relevant data, which is routed to the Action Center for human review. Once validated, a transformation agent takes over before sending the data to the end system. This blend of humans, agents, and system data substantially cuts manual effort while keeping a human-in-the-loop checkpoint for data validation.

This combination of Maestro, IXP, and agents has enabled projects that would previously have been rejected as infeasible using traditional automation approaches. Many prior proof-of-concepts using conventional methods failed, but this integrated approach has had a positive impact at the organizational level and helped win more projects, despite an initial adjustment period.

IXP (document understanding): Previously, extracting data required extensive training and annotation of documents. With IXP, the process is prompt-based—upload a document, write a clear and precise prompt, then validate and refine. This is especially valuable in scenarios involving 150+ document templates where traditional training-based extraction isn't feasible, since collecting and annotating that many document variants would be impractical. Extraction quality depends heavily on how well the prompt is written, but the time savings over traditional document understanding are substantial.

Maestro (process orchestration): The standout feature is the ability to retry a failed transaction at the point of failure rather than restarting an entire multi-step process. For example, in a 10-process workflow, a failure at step 10 (e.g., an application login issue or maintenance downtime) can be retried directly, without rebuilding the recovery logic that frameworks like REFramework would typically require. Maestro also provides visibility into all running instances and includes livestream demo capability, which has made it easier to showcase workflows to business stakeholders (previously this required screen-sharing from a VM; now it can run unattended with live visibility. Live stream

• Studio 2025 interface: The redesign to mirror Studio Web has made the IDE less user-friendly than previous versions, at least during the initial adjustment period.
• Action Center row duplication: When reviewing multi-column, multi-row data (e.g., 15–20+ columns), users currently must manually re-enter every field for each row even when only one or two values differ between rows. A "duplicate row" feature would let users copy a row and edit only the changed fields, saving significant time. Without it, some users abandon the review and reject records outright.
• Storage bucket timestamps: A feature request has been submitted to expose the write date/time for files in storage buckets.
• Regex visibility in Action Center: Validation conditions written as regex expressions are currently visible to end users in the Action Center UI. Ideally, only a human-readable label should display, not the underlying technical expression. A feature request has been submitted for this as well.

I have been using this solution for four to four and a half years.

IXP had some early model limitations, but recent model versions have performed well with no significant concerns.

Scalability is good. I can leverage all the systems in one ecosystem. All the services in one ecosystem, which is really good.

Support tickets typically result in a direct call from an agent, along with an email trail, ensuring unresolved issues get followed up.

I have not used any other applications. I have gone through the platform of Blue Prism a bit, but I only prefer UiPath Platform and prioritize it as it is a market leader.

Considered straightforward, especially for those working on live projects. Best practices take time to learn, but the core logic is easy to pick up.

We are a partner with UiPath.

Strong ROI, primarily through freeing up FTE capacity previously spent on manual tasks. The combination of agents and IXP enables automation of more complex tasks, including autonomous decision-making, which extends automation beyond conventional use cases.

No info.

When comparing to other platforms, I would suggest 10 out of 10, because it brings the whole ecosystem in UiPath Platform, from building apps and agents and LLMs, everything is available in one platform, including the orchestration.

UiPath Platform brings the whole ecosystem in a single platform, from the Studio to orchestration, from the apps and the dashboards and also Maestro, extraction, LLMs, everything is coming under one platform. Now I can do some basic apps or dashboards within UiPath Platform, which is really helpful. Overall, when I see this ecosystem, it is all interconnected and it is useful. UiPath Platform is very much user-friendly when all the services are coming under the orchestrator or the Studio Web or Studio and it is all interconnected. I do not have to go for any other platform to get all those. It is really an amazing solution.

• UiPath Academy is considered a mandatory, high-value resource for staying current on both new and legacy features, offering practical, example-driven content useful for beginners and experienced developers alike. That said, hands-on project experience is viewed as more valuable than academy content alone.
• UiPath community (workshops, meetups) is seen as a major differentiator, helping users stay current and experiment with new features.
• Agent usage is still limited—so far used mainly for a simple name-mapping/conversion task via database lookup. Proof-of-concept work with agents has gone well.
• Agent trust layer / data trust layer: Data security is good, with masked data feeding into LLMs ensuring strong data privacy.

My main use case for UiPath Platform is for diagnosis to identify delays or problems. It helps companies manufacture computers. UiPath reads invoices, extracts required information, enters it into the company's system, checks the information, and sends emails automatically.

In my organization, what I find very useful is that UiPath reads documents, extracts customer and policy information, enters the data into the insurance system, checks whether required documents are available, and sends notifications automatically. This saves time, reduces cost, improves customer service, and helps focus on important work.

In my opinion, the best features UiPath Platform offers are automation, document understanding, AI plus automation, system interaction, monitoring and reporting, human plus robot work, cloud platform, and security.

I find system interaction the most valuable feature in my day-to-day work because it connects with different components, such as Excel, CRM system, emails, and websites.

I do not have specific suggestions on how UiPath Platform can be improved.

I have been working in my current field for four months.

UiPath Platform is stable and reliable, and it has a good monitoring system.

UiPath Platform's scalability is rated at 99.9%.

The customer support from UiPath Platform is rated at 99.9%.

I previously used manual processing and basic scripting before switching to UiPath Platform for its advanced capabilities, better integration, strong governance and security, and easier scalability, also providing better scope for combining systems.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing reveals that the main challenge is the complexity of pricing options and selecting the right plan. Overall, the investment is justified by the time savings, efficiency, and scalability of automation.

I have used UiPath Academy to learn automation and improve UiPath skills.

I use coding agents to help build or troubleshoot automations using UiPath Platform.

I have seen a positive return on investment from UiPath Platform. For example, automation has reduced processing time by approximately 30 to 40%, saving around 50 to 60 employee hours per month.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing reveals that the main challenge is the complexity of pricing options and selecting the right plan. Overall, the investment is justified by the time savings, efficiency, and scalability of automation.

Before choosing UiPath Platform, I evaluated other options such as Automation Anywhere and Microsoft.

I would recommend starting with a few high-volume repetitive processes where automation can show clear time and cost savings, as well as robust security.

I am exploring agentic automation to overcome challenges and complex decision-making, reducing manual work, and making faster decisions by combining people, robots, and AI agents.

For the specific use cases where agentic automation is being used to address these challenges, in incoming insurance claim documents, the robot can extract and enter the data into the system, while employees can handle exceptions of complex cases. This will reduce manual work, speed up the claims process, and improve accuracy by keeping humans informed.

Agentic automation has helped improve process efficiency and reduce manual effort. For example, in document and claim processing, I have seen approximately 40% improvements.

The approach to coding agent integration in UiPath Platform stands out because it combines AI agents, robots, and humans.

Adopting UiPath Platform for coding agents has measurably increased development speed and automation coverage, with development time reduced by approximately 30 to 40%, while troubleshooting and revision time reduced to around 20 to 30%.

Overall, UiPath Platform is a strong and user-friendly automation platform. My overall review rating for UiPath Platform is 9.5 out of 10.

My use case involves developing robots because I worked as a consultant before and worked with multiple domains like banking, insurance, and healthcare, where I automated monotonous processes. This is my use case where we build a robot, and that is what is mainly used for this tool.

What I appreciate about UiPath Platform is that it is very user-friendly and continuously updates the product according to market trends, which I prefer compared to other competitive tools.

UiPath Platform has reduced human error and freed up time in many cases where we have removed the entire department, and in many cases we have freed half of their work. As a consultant, I can explain this in technical or non-technical terms. We do not talk about the hours we saved; we talk about the FTEs, which means the full-time employment we saved. I think we save approximately five or six FTEs in a year.

An area where UiPath Platform has room for improvement is that they do not have a local source code saving opportunity where we need to save it in our local file or a local PC. They do not have that capability compared to Blue Prism, which directly saves the source code in a database. In UiPath, they don't have that opportunity. Even if I lose my laptop and develop personally, if I lose my laptop, then the entire source code is gone. The tool should not be device-dependent; it should be a cloud-dependent tool.

I have been using UiPath Platform since 2017.

My thoughts on the stability of UiPath Platform are that sometimes we have an issue where they do an update from their side that impacts our robots, especially on a weekend, which is a disaster. I would give it a 4.5 out of 10.

I would rate the scalability of UiPath Platform as highly scalable because they have already integrated a lot of AI features inside the tool, which is truly appreciable. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would say 9.

I would rate their technical support as an 8 out of 10.

Positive

I would recommend UiPath Platform to other users, and the first important advice I would give is to check out UiPath Academy, which is very good. Also, the community edition, which is available online from UiPath, allows us to use the tool and learn on one single platform. That is only provided by UiPath. I recommend UiPath Platform because it is user-friendly and cost-effective, and we can get our ROI within six months.

I have not started using the agentic automation in UiPath Platform because I took a course last year at a conference, and I think we have not got any use case for that. I am in dialogue with my management on how we use that going forward because it is still emerging, so we have not got any use case for that.

My thoughts on UiPath Academy courses are that the first thing is they are free, and the second thing is they have a lot of useful insights where it gives the complete product overview and what is included. The missing part is that as a course, we need proper understanding of English or proper communication skills, which is boring when compared to all the other courses available online.

When I compare UiPath Platform with other products, I see that everything is perfect with UiPath Platform in terms of pricing, user-friendliness, capability, and efficiency. I would give it a 9 out of 10, while for other products, I would give 7 or 6 because there are a lot of other flaws in those tools. The only problem I have is that it is device-dependent, and that is the reason I have taken one point down from UiPath Platform.

On a scale of 1 to 10 for pricing, I rate UiPath Platform between 6 to 7. UiPath made a complex design on the licensing part. Each license has different pricing, such as a developer license, production license, or tester license. They made it not very simple. If you compare with other tools, they made it very simple. You buy a production license and get a developer license along with that for free. I think that looks very simple.

The hands-on users of UiPath Platform in my organization would be around 15 to 20. It is a public sector in the whole of Denmark. If I include that, we have around 300 or more developers in the complete Denmark public sector, and in my department, we are around 10. For usage, we have around 300 or more robots.

I do not think the solution requires maintenance; it is not a complex one. UiPath made it very simple, and I appreciate that.

My take on the AI aspect of UiPath Platform is that it is the next future. I think it is also an emerging area where people think AI can do everything, but it is not true; it still needs to be checked. The robots are the main important thing for sourcing the data to the AI. Both are very important. AI is the future, but not so early.

I would rate this review an 8 out of 10 overall.

My main use cases for UiPath Platform are primarily around RPA capabilities, and I have over 100 automations built on it. 

I use a mix of both unattended and attended automation with UiPath Platform, alongside some intelligent document processing through document understanding, and I am also currently setting up a communication mining process for around half a million emails that come into our email box per year.

I have not used Agent Builder or Orchestration, however, I do use other capabilities such as Insights. We haven't delved into Agentic automation with UiPath Platform yet, although we have use cases planned for the future; we are currently focused on establishing the communication mining use case first.

I want to use agentic automation in the Treasury Management space, where we manage customer inquiries and requests, and I believe it can help replace the six employees handling the mailbox, which then goes out to 80 employees working on tickets and requests, showcasing a significant potential for Agentic automation.

I appreciate the capabilities of Insights in UiPath Platform for monitoring our automation, and I value our citizen developer program, where we have trained around 50 individuals without tech backgrounds to create automations, reflecting a forward-thinking approach where low-code solutions empower non-technical users to save time through automation.

I see room for improvement with UiPath Platform mainly in the hybrid strategy we're employing, as issues arise from the on-premise and cloud processing switch, particularly with document understanding, which can cause bugs. I believe moving completely to the cloud would alleviate these challenges, along with creating a unified development environment that avoids context switching.

To achieve a perfect score of ten out of ten for UiPath Platform, I would suggest simplifying the setup process for agentic AI; experiences with Microsoft's platform illustrate that user-friendly interfaces facilitate quick adoption without requiring extensive expertise. Intuitiveness is key, as Microsoft users find it easy to create agents without extensive training, a contrast to the more complex nature of UiPath Platform's current setup.

I have been using UiPath Platform for about four years.

I assess the stability and reliability of UiPath Platform as very good, noting that while there might be instances where a bot stops running, the real cause is often external factors such as our password manager updates, not issues with UiPath Platform itself.

Our organization has expanded its usage of UiPath Platform, recently renewing our contract for a three-year term as we continue to grow, predominantly investing in AI units for upcoming agentic AI and intelligent document processing needs.

I find great value in our partnership with UiPath Platform, where the support has been exceptional, as they meet with us regularly rather than having to rely on community forums. While some of my team members have interacted with it, we are not highly active within the user community due to the strong support from UiPath Platform.

My evaluation of UiPath Platform's support is that it significantly surpasses my experiences with Microsoft, where support often feels reactive rather than proactive. With UiPath Platform, I have regular meetings where they are aware of our challenges and offer timely solutions, whereas with Microsoft, I often have to restate our use cases and struggles.

I would give UiPath Platform's support a rating of nine out of ten. There are times we need to open support tickets, which indicates room for improvement although the overall support is still very strong.

Positive

Prior to UiPath Platform, I used Automation Anywhere. The primary reasons I switched to UiPath Platform were that we were trying to set up more unattended automation, but we were struggling with our virtual machines and getting Automation Anywhere to run consistently without issues and bugs. We started talking with other financial institutions and heard glowing reviews of UiPath Platform, which led us to do a proof of concept with it and decide to switch after.

Regarding the development environment, it would be beneficial to integrate everything in one place, such as building RPA and agents without switching contexts or platforms, which would enhance efficiency and simplify the process. I look for agentic automation to help with our document processing needs, and I am eagerly waiting for UiPath's promised agentic document processing capabilities.

It is challenging to quantify the specific ROI from UiPath Platform alone since we also leverage Power Platform, however, combined, we save over half a million hours annually in manual processing time, which is crucial as 2,000 hours saved equate to one full-time employee. This has allowed us to avoid replacing positions through attrition, thus funding my department, which relies on positive ROI as we track our efficiency ratio of saving the bank eight hours for every hour we work.

We did consider other RPA vendors when we initially went out there, and we conducted a general RFP looking at several other vendors, including IBM for some needs and Blue Prism, as we selected Automation Anywhere the first time about seven years ago. Blue Prism was definitely among the vendors we considered back then.

Regular RPA is effective for processes with defined rules. For our needs, agentic AI is better suited as we require a solution that can make more human-like decisions, recognize patterns, and cater to the free-form nature of incoming emails, unlike RPA, which relies on set parameters.

UiPath Academy courses are part of our citizen developer program, along with internal training that we developed to align with our bank's best practices and coding standards. 

We utilize Google Cloud as our primary cloud platform. 

My advice for someone considering UiPath Platform is to start small to ensure the processes function smoothly before scaling up, as it is easier to fix smaller workflows than intricate ones. Additionally, hire individuals who are curious and eager to learn about UiPath Platform technology as it continuously evolves.

I would rate UiPath Platform a seven out of ten, appreciating their efforts to keep pace with rapidly changing technology, though it is difficult for any platform to excel across all aspects, which presents an ongoing challenge.

There are many use cases, and the current one is vendor invoice management. Vendor invoice management is a process where we receive invoices from vendors, reconcile them, verify the check from SAP, and then post it on SAP. In UiPath Platform, we are using UiPath Studio and UiPath Orchestrator. For reporting, we are using UiPath Insights. We are also using UiPath Forms and Apps where human decision is required in cases of getting approval for verification. We use UiPath Forms on the Action Center, and post-approval, we get it posted on SAP.

UiPath Platform is helping us in categorizing workflows because we are using long-running workflows. We send a request to the human, and once the human approves or rejects, we take a decision. UiPath Platform Forms, long-running workflows, UiPath Orchestrator, and UiPath Insights dashboard reporting for each stage are used for this process.

There are many best features available in UiPath Platform. Currently, we are getting used to UiPath Platform Document Understanding, UiPath IXP, and UiPath Action Center. Going ahead, we have UiPath Platform Autopilot and UiPath Platform Agents, which is a pretty extensive list of useful features.

Document Understanding gives us the flexibility that with IXP, we don't have to train the documents. We just upload them and the AI does the work for us. We have all important fields in the invoice extracted for us. This reduces the manual workload and is very useful. The Action Center provides a user screen where all the data extracted by the agent or UiPath Platform is shown on the screen, and the user can decide whether this is correct. If it is not correct, they have the option to override the values there and we can continue. That is a good feature.

Agents are an evolving feature, and UiPath Platform is best suited for complex processes compared to other tools in the market. With other tools, we cannot code it for complex processes, but here, UiPath Platform gives us the feature to integrate any amount of complex processes. It has a lot of features with all modern things done with ease. UiPath Platform has brought us a lot of projects and is helping us in our day-to-day life. We have completely automated our HR system and everything is happening through UiPath Platform bots. There is a lot of positivity and people have become friendly with it now.

UiPath Platform can be improved by better handling of updates. Whenever there is something new, they keep forcing customers to upgrade. They should bring a feature that allows auto-translation for future updates to avoid the pain of upgrading every time they release a new package, as they remove some old features. This has to be addressed as it makes it difficult for users to keep up as new versions are approved.

The pain points include necessary updates to support documents or documentation. It would be helpful to provide real-time examples for a feature, usage, and configuration. While this is getting updated on UiPath Platform Academy, support documents updated with the latest information will be highly beneficial.

Redoing updates and manually updating the code for the latest features is necessary only because of these issues. Apart from that, everything looks good.

I have been using UiPath Platform for more than five years.

In the long run, we cannot judge something on the AI because it is still in the early stages. We are still not in a position to judge this appropriately. It is too early.

UiPath Platform gives a lot of options for scalability. We are using it and finding it very useful.

Customer support is quick, but sometimes they keep asking the same set of questions again and again, which delays the answers. Customer support is trying to support, but in most scenarios it gets delayed.

In our company, we directly started with UiPath Platform only. There were plans of using Microsoft Power Automate as well, but it is useful only for simple use cases. For more complex use cases, almost everything is done using UiPath Platform.

The ones mostly considered were Blue Prism and Automation Anywhere.

It was really easy because of our vendor. We had a partner who helped us negotiate the contract with UiPath Platform. The setup cost was not significant as we went directly with the cloud. The licensing was on a yearly model, which was fair and transparent.

We have used UiPath Platform Academy courses to transition for all new features such as the Action Center. Watching the exact videos helps us understand the exact steps, what to do, and what the outputs are. It gives us a good way to understand and learn.

There was definitely a lot of time saved with the RPA. We have stopped hiring in our product team and are managing with bots instead, which saves employee time. There are fewer errors and it allows a standard approach to follow as per the CoE.

You can go ahead easily with UiPath Platform after checking the pricing. Although the pricing is a little costlier than other market tools, you can leverage UiPath Platform components to reduce the workload on employees. It prevents new resource hires and makes the process more efficient and intelligent.

Governance and security are really good because we can implement guardrails now. You can bring in your model if needed. UiPath Platform gives the flexibility to integrate security in line with organizational needs.

Initially, the accuracy compared to local LLMs is good because they have integrated it with the cloud. Most things remain reliable.

We have not used it on a large scale yet, just for email classification and providing email responses. Going ahead, we plan to use more agents. Agentic use cases are deployed where fixed rules are better, and where scenarios are complicated, agents are more efficient.

UiPath Platform community is extremely helpful. You can post questions and receive support from experts around the world. This active community is a strong asset. I would rate this review as 8.5 out of 10.

We're using the solution for test cases.

The biggest benefit of these features for our organization is giving the ability to the whole company, or whoever needs to see the information about our test cases, one place to go and look. We're not scattering across many different applications and reports. It's all in one place.

The features of UiPath Platform we appreciate most include Test Manager and being able to integrate with everything we need. 

UiPath's user community helps significantly. There always seems to be someone to ask a question and someone to give an answer or reply. It's easy to find answers to questions that might not be standard.

I'm not sure how UiPath Platform can be improved. The Studio can sometimes look cluttered. If there's some way to streamline that or make it a little easier to read some of the modules, it might be better. I do a lot of test case work, and I would love to see more or better reporting of failures or reasons why something failed.

We are technically in the third year of using this solution, or slightly shorter than that. We are still expanding and trying to grow more with what we're doing.

The stability and reliability of UiPath Platform is wonderful. We have very few problems with it. We have more problems with our infrastructure than we do with UiPath Platform.

UiPath Platform scales very effectively with the growing needs of our organization. Our processes seem to grow and what we do with it and the amount of data we handle with the processes we have now and that we're building is almost seamless.

Customer service and technical support are very responsive and quick. Anytime we have a question, someone is ready to pick up a phone or answer a quick email. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate customer service and technical support a ten since it's always accessible, always there, and very responsive.

Positive

We had legacy-type things, such as C# and Selenium for testing, and we really had nothing for RPA before selecting UiPath Platform. Someone who had previously used UiPath Platform came on board and recommended we look at it. Based on their recommendation, we have used it and love it now.

I haven't handled the deployment process. 

I have seen a return on investment with UiPath Platform. While I don't know the exact numbers, some of our processes that would take days now take minutes. Time-wise, we have seen a return on investment.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was perfect. I didn't have to handle any of that.

Prior to adopting UiPath Platform, we weren't using another solution to address similar needs. We first started with UiPath Platform for RPA processes to automate processes. Everything was manual and taking forever. On the testing side, we would use Selenium for testing.

We don't yet use agentic. 

I recommend putting UiPath Platform on your short list and making sure that it's going to do what you want it to do. 

I would rate UiPath Platform nine out of ten, as there are minor things that could be improved.

Our main use cases for UiPath Platform are trying to automate as many processes as we can through our company to improve productivity and to reduce mundane tasks for our organization.

I have been using the agent features recently on UiPath Platform, so I have been building agents to supplement some of our processes. I have really been enjoying the agent and agent builder process. 

The time to market with the features of UiPath Platform, to be able to quickly spin up a POC and then put that in production within weeks to months versus sometimes years is significant. It is a much quicker process.

My overall experience using UiPath's Agentic Automation capabilities has been good. I and my teams have used the vendor's UiPath Academy courses. I had to do extensive training because I was fairly new to the team. I found my best way to learn the product was actually using the product. I went through training, but creating POCs or demos helped me learn better.

Regarding the value gained from being part of UiPath's user community, I am somewhat new to the team. I have been getting involved with community activities, and being able to talk to other companies with similar enterprise-type solutions has been valuable. Reaching out to the community has allowed me to talk to product developers and engineers.

UiPath Platform usage is expanding every day. We are a large company with many use cases, and either by word of mouth or through our product owner, it seems to be growing rapidly. I use Agentic AI, and our current experience with its ability to extract data points has been doing really well. It requires fine-tuning, but the data we are getting back is within a threshold of between 85 and 90% accuracy.

An example of time saved with Agentic AI would be taking customer information from numerous emails that would require manual human processing. Running an Agentic process takes minutes compared to what could take an adjuster anywhere from an hour to days depending on the information volume.

We use IXP and RPA processes with UiPath Platform for many of our automations. Our organization has automated processes with UiPath Agentic Automation in all aspects of our company, primarily focusing on frontline workers. By leveraging Agentic Automation, there are definite cost and time savings.

The biggest thing for us regarding how UiPath Platform can be improved is that the product itself seems to be evolving, however, it does not seem to keep in mind enterprise solutions. It seems to be focused more on small to mid-range companies. 

The company I work for is a large enterprise and it seems enterprise features are an afterthought. Focusing on enterprise-type solutions and then working with those enterprises to help build the product is key.

I have been using UiPath Platform for probably four to five years.

It seems to be pretty stable and reliable in my assessment of UiPath Platform. I have experienced downtime, crashes, and performance issues with UiPath Platform. That said, whenever we have issues, we open an incident ticket and I feel the response from support is good with good response rates.

UiPath Platform has the capability of scaling with the growing needs of our organization. I know there are challenges we run into, however, it is a growing platform. We are still trying to figure out the limitations.

I would evaluate customer service and technical support for UiPath Platform as pretty good. We run into issues where there is a lot of back and forth unless we put it on urgent, we do not hear things right away. Support could be a little bit better; however, for the most part, it is pretty good. 

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate customer service and technical support as a seven. As an enterprise customer, when we have mission-critical applications that need support, it would be nice to have a different tier of support.

Positive

Prior to adopting UiPath Platform, we were using Blue Prism.

The deployment was painful. We're an enterprise. So we're building some things in a non-prod environment in a tenant, and then trying to move things to a production tenant has been extremely difficult. We know that there's new things coming to help with that, however, right now it's very challenging.

Regarding return on investment with UiPath Platform, it is still unknown as they are still working on the numbers to figure that out.

Our PO handles all pricing, setup costs, and licensing aspects, so I have not had to deal with much of the pricing.

Other platforms Microsoft products, Power Platform, and Blue Prism were products we used before selecting UiPath Platform. 

I was not involved with the evaluation process comparing these options. The factors that led to considering a change were related to cost, complexity, and the ability to do certain things that one product could not offer that the other could.

I would rate UiPath Platform an eight out of ten. 

If you are interested in UiPath Platform, my advice is to utilize the labs, including the new lab interface where you can test and POC functionality. If an enterprise is looking to see what the tool can do, getting hands-on experience and trying the functionality is important.
