Data specialist at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees
Employees' menial labor is reduced, and they can spend more time interacting with customers
Pros and Cons
- "We like the RPA style and constant data flow. It keeps working when our employees aren't."
- "It would help if UiPath fixed bugs in the software before they updated."
What is our primary use case?
We're an insurance company, so we use UiPath to enter customer and policy data. Four of us work on the data side of bot development, which is our department's priority. We have multiple inflows of different ideas and use cases coming from various departments that ensure the company runs smoothly and efficiently.
Implementations and updates allow for frequent email communications on Monday mornings weekly. Our team sends out email notifications if anything significant is urgent. We're still working on some of the aspects that we're looking to solve by attending this event. We've got some integrations that UiPath provides.
How has it helped my organization?
We have a limited staff and a lot of work. UiPath tackles repetitive jobs that people don't want to do but must do them daily. We've saved on reporting, and that has mitigated costs, so we've seen revenue advantages.
Our customers and employees are happier. Employees' menial labor is reduced, and they can spend more time interacting with customers. Our customers like this because they can talk to a real person who will follow up on their issues. It's generated a lot of buzz in the community. Customers can talk to our agents faster and get the information they need quicker
What is most valuable?
We like the RPA style and constant data flow. It keeps working when our employees aren't.

Technology Engineer (UiPath Developer) at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
We don't need to know much code because most activities are drag and drop
Pros and Cons
- "I like UiPath's coding engine."
- "We only use the UiPath Community for support. It would be nice if a team of developers or a support person were available to help us work internally on our project. That would be helpful."
What is our primary use case?
I'm using UiPath on an automation project for my company in the banking domain. The use cases are for things like insurance claims and debit card transactions. We use it for our clients' requirements and also internally to address any of our company's needs for UI automation.
How has it helped my organization?
When we started the client's project, they had a simple process, but they were dealing with a large volume of data. Most organizations primarily rely on Excel as their main solution, and they're doing processes through that. They wanted to automate Excel processes that they had been doing manually. UiPath improves productivity and saves time. For example, I developed a bot for processing insurance claims in UiPath. It involved checking documents and comparing them to the information in the databases. The process would take around 40 minutes to perform manually. We reduced that to eight or nine minutes per process through automation. It greatly increased the volume we could handle, producing a lot of value for the organization.
As we developed more automations for Excel, their manual work decreased, so they gave us more requirements. I've developed about 15 separate processes for the banking project I'm working on. Each process has its own way of doing it. We have developed network solutions. UiPath has contributed so much to the development of automation in our company. Our clients are pleased because they can boost their revenue by introducing bots.
UiPath has helped us reduce our on-premise footprint. The development cycle depends on whether it's a major or minor process. We start development, test, and deploy. After that, a support team will maintain the process, and we will not be involved again. We have multiple people working on a particular project, and it changes with every sprint of a cycle.
UiPath Academy has lots of videos and other resources. While we can go to YouTube or some other source to learn about UiPath, we don't get a comprehensive understanding of the solution or the latest features. We can only get this through UiPath, and everything we need is in the courses. You can take a foundational course to learn the basics and get a certification that is valid everywhere from the advanced developer courses. Every company expects its UiPath developers to have this certification.
UiPath's AI functionality is useful if we're working with unstructured data. For example, if we have a PDF where the data we want to extract is not separated, we can use AI to define the data for automation. I have done some practice use cases for learning purposes, but I haven't used AI in a project.
The solution helps to speed up digital transformation. I'm not sure about other countries, but many banks in India are still doing things manually and not using UI automation. This is a revolution in banking technology because bots are doing everything, and they don't need a lot of people to do the tasks.
UiPath can reduce human error, but a developer needs to understand the process completely that the bot will perform and provide all the conditions for how to perform things. After the client approves a project, we create a bot, and it will function based on the solution documentation. The UiPath bot will perform whatever conditions I give it. About 80 percent of the solutions we develop will complete the process without human intervention, and the remaining 20 percent of automations require some manual effort.
The solution frees up employee time because UiPath doesn't require much coding knowledge. If we can find a working solution for many purposes, we can download it. We don't need to spend time developing as many processes.
What is most valuable?
I like UiPath's coding engine. We don't need to know much code. Most of the activities in UiPath are drag and drop. It's easy to build automations in UiPath. If we need support also, that doesn't require much effort. The UiPath tool gives us a structured framework. That is used in almost every project I work on. It made our development process effortless. We've completed a lot of projects with the help of the framework.
The UiPath community enables users to share knowledge and bots that they've developed. If I have a bot installed in our machines, it doesn't require much effort for other users to run it. The user experience is seamless and user-friendly. Everything is ported on the back end, and it works as expected everywhere. If we have any doubt about a topic, we can post a question on the user community forum, and people from around the world will offer solutions in minutes. It takes very little time to get the solution.
What needs improvement?
We only use the UiPath Community for support. It would be nice if a team of developers or a support person were available to help us work internally on our project. That would be helpful.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used UiPath since 2020.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
UiPath is stable. All of my colleagues in other companies feel that this is highly stable compared to other tools.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
UiPath is scalable.
How are customer service and support?
I rate UiPath eight out of 10. We primarily get support from the UiPath Community, but sometimes their solutions work differently when we take it to our machine sometimes we have this capability.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I also learned Automation Anywhere at the same time, but I found that the UiPath interface was easier for beginners to learn.
How was the initial setup?
We use UiPath as a cloud service. You create packages that are deployed through Orchestrator. Any machine with access to Orchestrator can just download the package and run it. The deployment is straightforward if we have the necessary access. We need to add a package to Orchestrator and download it. It doesn't require much time.
We have a team of people. Every deployment includes developers, a support team, and an engineering team that will deploy the code to the production machine. The support team will ensure the bot is running properly after deployment, while the developer is the one who creates the package. UiPath doesn't require much maintenance aside from upgrading the bots with packages from UiPath.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing model is based on the number of processes. My colleagues tell me that UiPath's pricing is pretty normal compared to other solutions.
What other advice do I have?
I rate UiPath nine out of 10. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in RPA. It's easy to learn and implement. You will not be disappointed. I still have a lot to learn. There are so many capabilities.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud

Program Manager RPA at a pharma/biotech company with 10,001+ employees
We have a centralized location and end-to-end view of a use case, and their support has been excellent
Pros and Cons
- "In my particular job function, Automation Hub has been invaluable. We have set up an Automation Hub specific to what we need within our team to be able to solicit automation ideas from our business users. It helps us to be able to review those ideas, meet with our functions and ask them more questions, and build our value case as well, so Automation Hub has been huge for us."
- "We are new to the tool. Currently, we do not have any cons. There is still a lot left for us to explore. We have heard of a lot of features at the conference today, and we will certainly build upon that. As we are exploring, some of the improvements could be in the pipeline within Automation Hub and insights, but so far, we have had a great experience with UiPath."
What is our primary use case?
We are an animal health company. We work to provide various products for companion animals, such as swine and equine. We are a global company.
The business objective that we are trying to achieve with its AI-powered automation is to reduce the effort for our business users. There are certainly a lot of tasks that take them away from some more high-value opportunities within their function and improve the overall customer experience. We would like to be able to look at the data differently and to be able to ultimately improve our customers. That is our ultimate goal.
The great thing about our function within the company is that we explore automation throughout the company and all different business functions. A lot of our use cases are for replicating some of the mundane manual tasks that users do. A lot of them are data reconciliations involving extracting and comparing data from different sources. We are also exploring opportunities to be able to understand and process data better by using some of the UiPath task mining capabilities. That is what we have at the forefront right now.
How has it helped my organization?
It has fundamentally changed what our organization is able to achieve. There is such a global interest in automation. Being able to be at the center of that for our company and allow them not only the opportunity to automate their tasks but also be a centralized location for answering questions and helping people learn has been great.
We have very limited use cases with which we have explored some of the AI-specific features. We have done some proof of concepts with some smaller use cases, and we certainly could see the value on that small scale. We are looking forward to much larger opportunities going forward.
Even in the proof of concept, it cuts down on our time in exploring some of the processes. There is ultimately value for our team internally while doing some of the investigative pieces on some of these processes. There is also the added benefit for the users. We are able to help them faster. It has certainly been very helpful. It is hard to quantify time savings because we are just getting started with some of the tools. For the proof of concept, it saved us about a week. It was a small use case involving looking into the process and deep diving into it. Being able to allow the mining tools to do some of that analysis saved us a lot of time. It did cut down at least a week's worth of research for sure.
This proof of concept was a task-mining proof of concept. The valuable piece that we had from task mining was being able to look under the hood in some processes. In this particular proof of concept, it was a process that the team had done for years and years and years but never took a deep dive into what all the handoffs were. Being able to record and then get that insight and that dashboard view at the end showed us a lot. It showed us where the time was spent in each part of the process and allowed our business users to focus on what within that process could be improved, fixed, or standardized. It was certainly very helpful because it was a passive way of looking at the process. Being able to see the dashboard was certainly helpful for us to communicate or to improve.
What is most valuable?
In my particular job function, Automation Hub has been invaluable. We have set up an Automation Hub specific to what we need within our team to be able to solicit automation ideas from our business users. It helps us to be able to review those ideas, meet with our functions and ask them more questions, and build our value case as well, so Automation Hub has been huge for us. We are working on setting up the insights tool as well.
We see a lot of opportunity there for recognizing the actual value once our use cases are live in production. We have not yet used UiPath's AI Center, but we are certainly looking to do that in the future once we are more established with the tool.
What needs improvement?
We are new to the tool. Currently, we do not have any cons. There is still a lot left for us to explore. We have heard of a lot of features at the conference today, and we will certainly build upon that. As we are exploring, some of the improvements could be in the pipeline within Automation Hub and insights, but so far, we have had a great experience with UiPath.
For how long have I used the solution?
My company is new to UiPath. We procured the software in quarter one of this year, and we are currently working on getting acclimated to the tool. We are doing some data migrations and exploring the ins and outs of the software.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
So far, so good. In terms of stability, there are no issues or concerns.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is absolutely scalable. We have no issues or concerns. There are a lot of opportunities for sure.
How are customer service and support?
Their support has been tremendous. Anytime we have a question or anytime we want to learn something more about the tool, there is no shortage of answers. They have been very helpful. I would rate their support a ten out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Our company does utilize another RPA solution. Our reason for getting UiPath was the fact that it is an automation platform, so having that full end-to-end view of the use case from ingestion to implementation to gathering actual insights and having it all in one centralized location was a big selling point for us. Its task mining, plug-ins, and SAP integration capabilities made it very interesting for us.
I have a little bit of experience with Power Automate. UiPath has orchestration, whereas Power Automate does not. It is another way through which we can bring value to our business areas with our automations. Having everything centralized in one place is a very big feature there.
How was the initial setup?
I worked very heavily in setting up our Automation Hub, designing our questionnaire forms, setting up our users there, and rolling that out to our company. It was very straightforward. Our UiPath account managers have been super helpful and supportive in that. Whenever we have a question, everyone is very responsive and very easy to talk to. They have been very helpful, whether that be in person or in a meeting, or pointing us towards documentation to help us guide us through. It has been great.
In terms of implementation strategy, we logically started in the way so that we understand a process. We started with setting up our Automation Hub within our entire organization and making sure we established governance and the right security. We made sure that our asset was set up correctly within our organization. In terms of the software, we got our Automation Hub set up and we got our environments set up from a maintenance standpoint, and now, we are working on getting our insights set up for us.
What about the implementation team?
We have a partnership within our organization for our team. In collaboration with them, we worked on setting up UiPath. We have partnered with Persistent, and our experience with them has been great.
What was our ROI?
We are still a little bit early with our journey, but it is certainly saving time and effort for the small number of use cases that we do have on the platform.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I do not know the specifics within my role, but from what I do know, everything has been very fair. Especially with the licensing that we have for our team, we have been able to accommodate everybody on our team with the roles and access that they require. So far, so good.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We did evaluate other solutions, but I do not know the specifics within my role. I do know that UiPath was one of the leading ones out there and the capabilities that we have seen were what we were looking for.
What other advice do I have?
To those evaluating the solution, I would advise appreciating the fact that it is a platform. You can track the automation idea from intake through implementation, and then you can gather the insights once it is live or in production. Being able to have everything all centralized in one place is a great way to keep your team organized and truly measure the value of your automations.
I would rate UiPath a ten out of ten. I am enjoying the tool. At the UiPath Conference, I got to know about a lot of opportunities to look forward to. I enjoyed it.

Head of uipath delivery at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
An easy-to-use solution for building automations quickly and automating more processes
Pros and Cons
- "Their core platform of Studio is valuable. The ease of use and the ability to build these automations quickly is definitely a highlight for us. Our average process from start to finish takes three to four weeks. We can knock out automations as quickly as we can identify them. That is probably the best feature I see."
- "There should be more clarity around the feedback loop along with the auto-update feature when you deploy machine learning packages. They should give some rule-based options so that if the confidence is returned higher than the previous model trained, then it would auto-deploy. If it is less, then it should send you an email rather than auto-deploy."
What is our primary use case?
We are a consulting firm. We started last year, and we are growing pretty rapidly.
We have quite a few document-understanding processes that we are working on. We are a partner of UiPath, so we have various clients in different industries. Currently, we are processing vendor statements to create payments in NetSuite. We also have a three-way match cache application process, and then we have a basic user interface for scraping vendors' websites for payment data and that kind of thing.
We are trying to figure out how to incorporate LOMs with everyday processes and get reliable information back. We are also training a lot of machine learning models to extract data from PDFs along with processing contracts. I hope that those get easier to train and that there are more reliable answers or outputs from the models that we train.
How has it helped my organization?
Our AI-powered automation initiative has fundamentally changed what our organization is able to achieve. Document processing has come a long way and become a lot more user-friendly with validations and Action Center. The straight-through processing has increased.
They are constantly making improvements to Action Center where you have more feasibility in assigning tasks. There is a lot more flexibility and data around it. We have been incorporating insights into our automations, which helps us create a business case for future automations based on what we have done in the past.
The use of AI in our automations has definitely increased the accuracy of our operations. It has also increased the ability to process certain use cases that were not available before. It gives us more opportunities to automate processes, and therefore, drive revenue.
The use of AI in automations has freed up time or resources for other tasks for our customers. The time saved depends on the use case, but they are probably saving about a thousand hours a month on the vendor statement processing. They are getting 2,000 to 5,000 statements a month. Each one takes roughly 45 minutes.
What is most valuable?
Their core platform of Studio is valuable. The ease of use and the ability to build these automations quickly is definitely a highlight for us. Our average process from start to finish takes three to four weeks. We can knock out automations as quickly as we can identify them. That is probably the best feature I see.
What needs improvement?
In Action Center, saving progress in data validation, specifically for table content, is currently not available. There should be more clarity around the feedback loop along with the auto-update feature when you deploy machine learning packages. They should give some rule-based options so that if the confidence is returned higher than the previous model trained, then it would auto-deploy. If it is less, then it should send you an email rather than auto-deploy.
With task assignment, if there was a round-robin feature within the bucket to automatically assign it to a certain group of people, that would be helpful.
There should be the ability to add custom fields to validation tasks because there is a lot of potential for it. It would be helpful when somebody needs to identify a scenario. For example, we have a customer who is processing rate sheets for trucking, and sometimes, depending on their customer, they have an all-in rate versus an adding fuel mileage rate. If they are able to specify that, even if it does not say it on the rate sheet, it would allow them to process more documents successfully.
We use UiPath's AI Center, but some clarity is missing around when to use AI Center versus when to use the Document Understanding module within Orchestrator. We are trying to figure out the benefit of one versus the other. We have also seen that the out-of-the-box models that we train versus a custom model that we train with the same data end up with the same output result at the end. We are trying to see where these out-of-the-box models are providing value if we are going to take the time to train them.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using UiPath since 2019.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We have run into issues with integration services where we developed something, implemented it, put it into production, and all of a sudden, it does not run unattended. It is a very frustrating situation to be in.
There were some issues with sharing connections between different accounts, and we have learned from that experience to do more upfront testing of new features before we build automation on it.
Event-based triggers not working is probably the biggest stability issue that we have run into, and integration services not working is probably the biggest gray area. Other than that, it is a stable platform.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is definitely a scalable platform.
How are customer service and support?
Their support is good. I have had good success with submitting support tickets and getting answers quickly. If it is a bug that is identified with the process or with the platform, they resolve it within a matter of a week. There was a production issue. It was a throughput issue for the AI model. We were not able to access a 100-page document because of this exception. They implemented it and fixed it within a week, which I thought was awesome. I would rate their support an eight out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I did not use any other RPA solution previously. I have only used Power Apps a bit, but it was a very small part that we have looked into. Overall, we are strictly focused on UiPath.
How was the initial setup?
I have probably set up 100 Orchestrators at this point, so it is straightforward. However, the initial setup is confusing for new people who have not done it where they are matching machines to the tenant and plugging it in their machine key, but I am not sure if there is any way to get around that. When you have done it once, it is easy.
The other thing is the licensing aspect of it. You need to assign a license to the machine template and then the machine template to the folder, and then you have to make sure that the machine is connected. There seems to be some confusion amongst our developers on how to make sure it is all set up correctly, and then you have the robot account. You have to make sure that it is also set up correctly to run unattended automations. It is a challenge, but if you do it two or three times, you get the hang of it.
In terms of the implementation strategy, overall, we look for quick wins upfront so that we can build the program and get support behind it, and then tackle the more advanced use cases after we get three or four in production.
We have cloud deployments. We have had different cloud providers, such as Azure, AWS, and GCP.
What about the implementation team?
We are a consultant.
What was our ROI?
We have definitely seen an ROI in terms of hours saved and quality of work. Once you get off the ground, there are a lot of other departments that end up getting excited and looking forward to future automation. I feel that is a win for morale.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Overall, the model is fine except for AI units. It is usage-based, which makes sense if you are processing documents, and you have one unit per page. It is the hosting cost of the models where there are issues, so we are running into potentially designing poor solutions because we are having to say, "If the documents are very similar but different enough, even though you would prefer to use two models, maybe consider not using two because of the hosting costs."
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Power Automate is something we might look at. UiPath has orchestration while Power Automate does not. Orchestration is vital for us.
What other advice do I have?
If you are trying to do in-house development, the user experience is much better than any other platform that we have evaluated. It is easy to pick up. The UiPath academy, training, and forums are great. The biggest selling point for me is that you can pick it up as a business user and learn the platform in a matter of days or weeks as opposed to months or years.
I would rate UiPath a nine out of ten.

The license cost is expensive because we have to pay for each tenant.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate UiPath eight out of ten.
We have almost 30 users of Uipath.
Maintaining UiPath is easy.
I recommend Uipath. UiPath is easy to learn and provides good-quality automation.

Pros and Cons
- "We've seen a significant return on our investment. For example, when we needed to do a lot of data migration because we were transitioning to a new platform, we previously had to hire outsourced contractors to do that manually. This cost a lot of money and involved some data security risks because we had to share access with them."
- "UiPath should make more of its advanced capabilities available to non-technical users through additional low-code features. They should also enhance their AI features and make more machine learning models available out of the box through the UiPath store."
What is our primary use case?
UiPath is a general automation tool that's useful in multiple cases, such as finance, HR, and cybersecurity. We have around 8,000 indirect users. Thousands see the reports generated by UiPath daily.
How has it helped my organization?
UiPath has helped my company to increase productivity, and it has financial implications. We can reduce the number of full-time employees we need, and existing FTEs can concentrate on more important work. It has reduced the time spent on repetitive tasks by about 30 percent. UiPath is particularly beneficial to employees who work night shifts. They don't need to wake up early to run the reports. It's automated, so they have the reports in their inboxes as soon as they wake up.
It gives us the power to scale up because we can process a greater volume of tasks by adding more bots, and we can accomplish things we could not do without adding staff.
UiPath reduces human error in terms of understanding what is written and changing it. It does not have the intelligence to think or manipulate the values that it sees, but it can change a value from x to y, reducing human error. It depends on the use case, but a bot is a lot less likely than a human to make errors when performing certain tasks, like converting a dollar amount to euros or pounds.
We have a hybrid environment with a small on-prem installation and AWS, but we plan to transition fully to the cloud by next year, so it has definitely decreased our on-prem footprint and the maintenance requirements from our side. We don't need to do as much stack maintenance on our physical infrastructure.
The UiPath Academy courses help the team to learn and understand what is going on. The great part is that it's free. With some products, you can only access the learning materials with an enterprise license. However, UiPath enables you to take the courses even if you are only using the community version.
We have experimented with UiPath's AI functions, but we have not used them in production. We are working with the solution's Document Understanding capabilities, and our AI team is creating a few use cases for us.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature is the UiPath Community, where developers can share and collaborate. We realize a lot of value and utility from developers coming together. That's a significant advantage UiPath has over its competitors. It has helped us understand what other people are doing and contribute to the community. Aside from that, the UI automation is pretty good with respect to error handling and other stuff.
The UiPath user community is pretty engaged. You rarely see this level of engagement on other platforms. There are thousands of questions, and when you post a new one, you can usually get an answer within five minutes. That shows how engaged the community is. You can also get a fast response from the company itself. They connect with their users through regular seminars and events like mini-hackathons and demos.
Building automations in UiPath is simple. It's a safe, low-code platform. The drag-and-drop workflows make it accessible to non-technical people, and it's becoming even easier with the advent of generative AI. You can just type whatever you want to create, and it can do it for you.
We have been developing some processes that can help with climate issues. UiPath can help us track our carbon emissions. We have various portals where we report our progress on our climate goals, and we can gather the data using UiPath quickly and provide timely updates to the government.
With UiPath, we can implement end-to-end automation involving integration with multiple products. We can add chatbots in the front and process mining or data mining. Through process mining, we can automate use cases as we get them. This capability was not available earlier. We can analyze the bots and derive insights from UiPath, which makes it end-to-end.
What needs improvement?
UiPath should make more of its advanced capabilities available to non-technical users through additional low-code features. They should also enhance their AI features and make more machine learning models available out of the box through the UiPath store.
For how long have I used the solution?
I started using UiPath in 2016 when I was with a different company.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
UiPath is a stable product, but there are still some areas where it could improve.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability depends on the design of the board. If I follow single designs, there might not be a possibility to scale it. But if I follow a design where I have Master, the pro producer, and consumer problem where I have some bots that are just collecting the information and some parts just processing that information. That way it can be scaled, but that will be dependent on the design of the problem.
How are customer service and support?
I rate UiPath support nine out of 10. The turnaround time is typically a day. We might get a callback the next day if it's something more complex, but the ticket is usually closed within two days.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have previously used Automation Anywhere but not at my current company. A lot of people use Automation Anywhere. However, it's more of a closed ecosystem, so you don't have access to the creativity of other developers. With UiPath, developers can publish their processes to be reused by others. That is not available in Automation Anywhere. It's like the Android store where I can publish my app in the store, and people can use it whether it is monitored or not.
How was the initial setup?
Our deployment took around four to six months. The initial deployment was simple, but it took some time to set up the architecture. We needed to get approval from our cloud team to set UiPath up and integrate it. Around five to seven people were involved. The solution is deployed across multiple locations and departments.
We have to perform some maintenance on the software that UiPath is automating. When we build a database, we need to archive it so that we don't exceed the requirements. We have to delete logs regularly, and the machines require software updates. It isn't specific to UiPath.
What was our ROI?
We've seen a significant return on our investment. For example, when we needed to do a lot of data migration because we were transitioning to a new platform, we previously had to hire outsourced contractors to do that manually.
This cost a lot of money and involved some data security risks because we had to share access with them. They would need to migrate the data manually using some tool, but we can now do that internally with UiPath. No one is looking at our data, and it can be done fast.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
UiPath is on the higher side compared to Microsoft Power Automate and Automation Anywhere.
What other advice do I have?
I rate UiPath eight out of 10. If you are considering UiPath, you should think about whether you have strong use cases that can't be handled by a competing solution. For small use cases, your needs might be better met by another tool that is native to your environment.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We used Pega RPA and Microsoft Power Automate. We have high-volume workloads that are not feasible with Power Automate. We also have a lot of legacy applications that don't work well with product license applications. Pega RPA was not very user-friendly.
How was the initial setup?
The tool's deployment is easy. We use Jenkins in the pipeline. We are still on-prem and most of our processes are deployed through the Orchestrator to the dev instance.
What about the implementation team?
Our partner helped us with the deployment. We were also knowledgeable on the technical side.
What was our ROI?
We have saved 10 million dollars so far.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution's pricing is fair.
What other advice do I have?
We use UiPath to save costs and man hours.
The tool has helped us improve accuracy on compliance and regulatory policies. The bots make it more consistent. We can document everything, which makes auditing easier.
Some of our processes were manual. Now, five robots do it. We have not hired anybody despite the workload being increased.
We used Task Capture for some documentation.
I rate it a ten out of ten.
