UiPath Platform Reviews

Our use case started with the financial sector. We are expanding it to the navy's other operational aspects, such as HR, legal, procurement, etc. 

UiPath's most valuable features are automation and document understanding. 

I want our relationship to be better because of the nature of what we do. 

I have been working with the solution for four to five years. 

The solution is very stable. 

UiPath is scalable. 

We work very closely with our UiPath representative. 

Positive

We used Microsoft Power Automate. UiPath suits our cloud environment better than Microsoft Power Automate. 

Deployment was complex because of our environment since we needed to get approvals. 

We work very closely with Deloitte. 

We had evaluated Automation Anywhere. 

Our business objectives for AI-powered automation are finding inefficiencies and improving efficiency and ROI. 

AI-powered automation has helped our organization to be more efficient and faster. It is working 24/7. 

UiPath has enhanced the accuracy of our operations. We were able to recoup funds that we previously knew didn't exist. It has boosted people's morale since they are not working on tedious tasks. 

We estimate that UiPath has saved the Navy about 156,000 hours. I rate it a ten out of ten. You need to understand the tool's processes. 

We use UiPath for document manipulation. It helps us split PDF files, clean and submit them to the government website. 

The tool's most valuable feature is the ability to pull information and manipulate documents. 

UiPath should improve its support team. 

I have been working with the product for six to eight months. 

I haven't had any issues with stability yet. 

UiPath is scalable. 

UiPath's deployment was complex because we weren't familiar with it. 

A partner helped us with the tool's implementation. They did the development work while we focused on back-end activities like getting the servers up. 

We have seen ROI with the tool's use. The legal department saves time and money with its use. 

I wasn't surprised by the tool's pricing. It was comparable to my expectations. 

The business objective we tried to achieve with UiPath was the PDF turnaround times. We needed to meet the deadline for the filings. If we missed the deadline, we couldn't submit them. Hence, the timing of submitting the filings was critical.  

I work for a law firm where timing is critical. AI-powered automation has helped our organization unload people from repetitive tasks and instead focus on client and legal work. 

UiPath has freed our resources' time. Earlier, eight to ten people needed to work eight hours to complete the filing. We can do it in under an hour without ten people focusing on the task. 

I rate the product a nine out of ten. You need to take advantage of the solution's training to help you understand its capabilities. I was new to the product and was surprised by its capabilities. It is a huge benefit to access the training without paying for it. 

We are primarily using the solution to automate manual processes for users. The solution helps reduce their efforts. We connect it to databases and do web automation.

The solution has helped us to reduce costs and lessened manual effort. We've been able to cut back on employee costs by reducing human interventions. 

The automation is very good. I like that I can connect various databases and our framework templates. It is effective for building automation.

The orchestrator functionality is good.

We've found the solution offers good cost savings. It reduces the need for human effort. It can cut down the costs of an entire unit via automation. Automating the process has been quite effective. When humans are involved, it sometimes can take days and now we can get those tasks down to a few minutes. By reducing the time it takes to resolve problems, our customers are happier. 

It has helped us implement end-to-end automation. It's very important for us. It really helps us in the current market and will help us save on future costs.

We have user forums if we have any issues. We can always post questions there. We also have a Community Enterprise Edition that helps practice and gain certifications. It helps us to gain experience with UiPath.

It can do whatever a human can do and mimic their actions.

I've used the Academy classes. There are UiPath docs, and you can go through the material, however, the courses are helpful for learning. We can go through tutorials to learn how to build a use case or sequence by ourselves. It gives us use cases to build on our own. It's really helpful that we can go ahead and mimic their steps and create our own work.

The solution reduces the cost of digital transformation. Even if the processes are complex, we can manage it. Once we understand a process, and we are able to build something end-to-end, it helps digitize processes, which translates to benefits and cost savings. 

We've been able to reduce human error. My process is very complex. Even an expert may not be able to do the process I am automating. I'm talking about 100 to 200 steps. That's a lot of places to introduce human error if you don't have automation. 

It's freed up human time.

UiPath has helped save costs. The clients have been happy with the results. 

The issue we have is around security and internal policies. If I want to update a queue item to the orchestrator, not only from UiPath but from Javascript, I can only use an item from UiPath. It's restrictive, based on our company guidelines. 

If there is any change in the selector in any application, we have to make changes accordingly in the code. Then we have to redeploy it again. It's one of the challenges we have. We cannot automatically change the selectors in the bot. 

My client has very old and complex applications. Getting that sorted for the bot can be very difficult at first. There may be a few extra steps in production.

I do need to check continuously for messages in Slack to work through processes. I have to run my bot every minute. There is some complexity with automating my bot through UiPath. I'm not sure if UiPath completely supports Slack automation. I've seen tutorials that show you can automate in Slack, however, I've had some real problems with the process. 

The stability of UiPath is very good. However, to build a bot requires us to go through many phases. Bot development is easy, however, getting access to applications can slow the process down.

We're using the solution around the globe. We are using the solution in different areas in India and we have many teams using UiPath. 

The scalability of UiPath is very good. I'd rate it nine out of ten. 

Technical support has good knowledge of what's happening. Whoever supports the bots, however, needs to have good knowledge. 

Positive

I did not previously use a different solution. UiPath was something my client wanted. 

The implementation was easy. Once we connect our bot to the orchestrator, it's very easy to publish to the orchestrator and move it. 

We deploy our code in a remote VM. Due to the license issues, we cannot have UiPath installed in the VM, where we deploy our bots. We have to do it via the orchestrator. There may be licensing issues that make it difficult to deploy UiPath to virtual machines. If we have any issues, debugging is difficult. 

We do have templates related to the company and use those to build automation. 

There is maintenance required while using the solution. Once you commit your code, the maintenance is pretty easy. We upload our code to the orchestrator. Beyond that, we may need to handle updates of UiPath. 

We did use a third party to get some credentials. Everything else was handled in-house. 

We have seen an ROI in the form of reducing employee costs. 

I don't deal with the costs. The company is handling the licensing. 

I did not evaluate other options before using UiPath.

I have not yet used UiPath's AI functionality. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. 

I would advise others to make sure they learn the solution and gather knowledge in order to understand how to start before jumping into real use cases. 

We utilize UiPath to automate manual and repetitive tasks that range from simple Excel manipulations to web scraping. We have several use cases related to refinancing, such as handling accounts payable for invoice processing, remittances, and accounts receivable, among others. In addition to that, UiPath enables us to develop public-facing applications that are integrated with automation. This automation is triggered automatically whenever there are user interactions or events, resulting in numerous use cases. For instance, if the requested data is not already available in the document, we can obtain input from customers using UiPath. 

Furthermore, we employ UiPath products for automatic invoice processing. When we receive invoices in PDF format, we digitize them using our own OCR engine. Subsequently, this information can be utilized to save data into systems like SAP. We extensively automate ERP systems, including SAP, Oracle, and NetSuite.

We also use UiPath for application testing. We have built several test cases for suppression, user acceptance, and so on, which can be scheduled to run or run on demand.

UiPath has a small learning curve because we leverage Microsoft technologies, benefiting greatly from UiPath's integration with the Windows Workflow Foundation. Moreover, there is also a version tailored for business users. Personally, I have a tech background, but we have received feedback from other users who find it very easy to create simple automation. However, for more complex automation, some experience or training might be necessary. Fortunately, UiPath offers completely free on-demand training through their Academy. Once someone completes the training, they will be able to proficiently build automation.

We employ our bots to collect data on emissions, consumption, and byproducts. We do not have any byproducts. Recently, we published a report detailing where and how we have achieved our sustainability goal.   

With UiPath, we have been able to achieve a 100 percent scale-up in the finance department without increasing the headcount. Therefore, it has played a crucial role in generating significant capacity and managing all the challenging tasks efficiently.

Being able to implement end-to-end automation using UiPath is crucial. We have use cases where human involvement is necessary. For instance, if there are invoices exceeding ten thousand dollars, we require approval. Therefore, UiPath allows us to pause automation until we receive those approvals from various stakeholders. Once the human input is provided, the bot proceeds with the remaining steps. It is highly reliable and adaptable to changes in the sales flow. We have utilized UiPath for automation without the need for additional staff.

Whenever there are new features or releases that lack detailed information, we can use UiPath's User Community to discuss the posted topics. For example, we can seek assistance in understanding how to make the most of a specific feature or determine the necessary settings for our properties to leverage those features effectively. Additionally, training resources for these products are available within the community. Webinars are frequently hosted in the UiPath User Community, which we also utilize to gain insights into the functionality of the product and its application in solving various use cases.

There are several areas in which UiPath has benefited our organization. We gain process intelligence and revenue intelligence. Additionally, we are able to perform virtual investment analysis using automation. UiPath enables us to free up a significant amount of capacity for more meaningful work.

UiPath has helped minimize our on-premises footprint. It's all about the SaaS cloud-based offerings. Therefore, several products are currently available quickly, specifically on the cloud. Essentially, we only utilize virtual machines for the robot itself, which execute alongside all the other services. Everything is hosted in the cloud.

The biggest benefit of using UiPath's Academy is that it offers various labs and exercises, which greatly assist us in utilizing and improving our understanding of the tool. Additionally, the Academy provides certifications that can help individuals become certified in the technology. These are some of the benefits offered by the Academy.

For most of the document understanding process, we utilize machine learning models that are hosted in the UiPath AI center. Additionally, AI is integrated into the process mining and task mining products we employ, which help us discover new automation ideas and opportunities by analyzing information flow within data from ERP systems, among others. Moreover, UiPath recently introduced communications mining, which utilizes a large language model. This enables us to examine emails and other modes of communication to gain insights into the processes and occurrences. There are numerous concealed insights pertaining to both the processes themselves and the sentiments of customers, all of which can be obtained through these AI tools.

UiPath AI has simplified the automation of more complex processes because it doesn't require machine learning, knowledge, or technical ability. It is a very simplified, no-code, local platform. This has greatly helped us build solutions that previously required extensive coding, saving us a significant amount of time during implementation.

UiPath helps to accelerate and reduce the cost of our digital transformation.

UiPath has helped reduce human errors. There are several errors that occur when working with financial data, such as missed dates and miscalculations. However, the bots prevent such mistakes from happening.

UiPath has generated sufficient capacity, allowing us to avoid hiring additional personnel for our department. Despite an increase in workload, the bots are capable of handling it.

UiPath has helped our organization save costs.

The AI feature has enabled us to automate more processes overall.

It would be beneficial to have the capability to track defects during the regression testing of applications.  

I have been using UiPath for six and a half years.

I have used Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism, and Power Plus Automation, but UiPath is more user-friendly.

The price is reasonable. UiPath is priced for the market and is even better considering the value it brings.

I rate UiPath a ten out of ten.

We have implemented UiPath across multiple departments, including HR and Finance.

No maintenance is required.

One of the use cases is related to material billing. For the material billing process, previously, when a vendor invoice came into our SAP system, our staff had to write invoice data and process the invoice. We transferred this process to RPA. We now have only one robot focusing on this project. It handles about 120 invoices in a month.

We have not yet used UiPath's AI functionality in our automation program. We are always thinking about using AI and machine learning in our development, but we have not had a project in which we could use AI. We might use it in the near future.

It is deployed on-prem, but we are thinking about changing it to the cloud.

It is easy to build automations by using UiPath. One of the projects was related to reporting or getting some information from the websites. To do our purchasing, the department needs a summarized report containing prices in email. We converted that into an RPA project where the robot accesses the website, reads the specific numbers, creates a small report in Excel format, and sends it as an email to our department. It took us three days or so to implement this automation. It was an easy project.

UiPath enables us to implement end-to-end automation. One advantage is that robots can work 24 hours. It enables people to add some value to the company. They can think about some places where they can improve or they can reduce costs. They have enough time to think about it. Before RPA, they used to take a lot of time to do the same work.

Our on-premises footprint has been reduced. For our invoice use case, our staff used to print out the invoice to check the numbers and enter the data. We eliminated that and reduced our paper usage by approximately 20%.

UiPath reduces the cost of digital transformation. We are using the SAP system, and there is a cost if we want to implement any automation. There are consulting companies that can write the code, but they are very expensive. With UiPath, we can automate our processes and eliminate or reduce that cost.

It has reduced human error. If the invoice is correct and the data is correct, what the robot writes into SAP is also correct. It has reduced risks and errors.

Employee time has been freed up. It saved us the time of one staff member. We were able to shift that person to another department because of the time savings.

UiPath has saved us costs. We could shift one staff member to another department. We did not have to hire one more staff member, so it has saved that cost.

The development part is very simple. It is easy to use. Our development time for a project is approximately two weeks now. It is good because even though you can develop the code in SAP, it takes a lot of time. When the demand is high, we can deliver in two weeks. It has helped us to tell our organization that RPA is easier and faster than the usual code route.

We have used UiPath Academy courses for process mining. For RPA, we have some KPIs for developers to complete their education. In UiPath Academy courses, they have an option for the Turkish language for videos, but they are always in English. They should correct that.

UiPath should integrate more machine learning and have more machine learning processes. In their development system, they have some machine learning tools, but they should increase them. With robots and structured data, in my opinion, we can use machine learning. The robots should also use machine learning to create some AI models.

Its price should be reduced.

We have been using UiPath for two years.

At the beginning of the project, there were some issues, but now, it is stable.

It is scalable. For the RPA part, we have 5 robots, and we have 40 projects that are live. We have about 100 projects that are to be implemented.

I would rate them an eight out of ten.

Positive

We did not use any other solution.

In our department, we have three employees for implementation. We do not take the help of any consulting company.

Its price could be better. They should reduce its price.

The insights module, process mining, document understanding, and other modules should come as one package because when you buy a module, it usually is not enough for a project, and then you have to buy another module. They might already have bundled these. I have not checked it recently.

To those evaluating this solution, I would recommend seeing it as one package. Before implementing it, the organization should also be ready for it because, with automation, people have concerns about losing their jobs. Organizations should have a clear understanding that robots are coming to save time.

Overall, I would rate UiPath an eight out of ten.

We do not have any specific use cases for UiPath. We automate areas where we have a large volume of work.

UiPath makes it easy to build automation because it uses a drag-and-drop interface and requires little coding.

We use UiPath to automate our repetitive processes. This reduces manual effort, freeing up employees to focus on other tasks, such as learning new skills and improving their careers. Doing repetitive tasks on a daily basis does not help employees develop their skills or advance their careers.

An associate in the loan approval process must validate licenses, forms, and certain records of the floor person before approving the loan for the next level. This person goes through a lot of paperwork on a daily basis, which can be very tiring. However, we now have UiPath, which uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to extract all the information from the licenses. This reduces the associate's workload by 50 percent, allowing them to complete the rest of the job more easily.

UiPath's automation has resulted in zero errors.

UiPath enables us to implement end-to-end automation. The solution includes all of the components necessary for end-to-end automation, from process identification to deployment. End-to-end automation is very important because it can help businesses save time and money. To identify a process that can be automated, we can either speak with the business team or use UiPath's process mining capacity. Process mining is a technique that can automatically analyze business processes and identify areas that can be automated. Once we have identified a process that can be automated, we can use UiPath to create a robot to automate the process.

UiPath's user community is very large with millions of users. Everyone has questions, and if we have a question, we don't have to post and wait for an answer. There is always someone who already answered the question. For example, if I have a question about selectors, there will be answers to my question. The user community is like a database of answers.

UiPath helped our organization by eliminating repetitive job tasks.

UiPath helped us minimize our on-premises footprint, which is important. For example, let's say an employee used to have to come into the office to check papers or documents to determine if a loan could be processed for a particular individual. Now, that employee can do that work remotely. There is no need for them to go to the dealer and collect all the papers, which can then be submitted or uploaded into a software program. The employee can now do all of this work from their computer.

All team members are required to participate in the UiPath Academy courses suggested by UiPath and to complete the certification. Access to UiPath Academy is great because our employees do not have to go to a particular coaching center to get a certification. They can do it on their own, on their mobile devices, at home, or on their laptops. They can learn at their own pace and in their own time. UiPath Academy has excellent examples and assessments for each chapter, which makes it easier to complete the course.

The AI functionality affects our ability to automate more complex processes. For example, in the UK, there are five different types of licenses that individuals may need to obtain in order to be approved for a loan. This means that there are numerous licenses that need to be processed for each loan application. In order to determine whether a license is expired or legitimate, we need to manually review each one. This can be a time-consuming and error-prone process. However, using AI and machine learning, we can automate this process. AI can be used to identify the different types of licenses that are required for a loan application. Machine learning can then be used to train a model to determine whether a license is expired or legitimate. This allows us to automate the entire process, which can save us time and money.

In our data center, we are unable to develop certain processes because existing rule-based automation is not sufficient. End-to-end automation helps our data center implementation.

UiPath helps reduce the cost of our digital transformation and it does not require upgrades or IT application support.

The solution helped reduce human error by 100 percent. We now have zero errors.

UiPath freed up our employee's time to work on other processes that can not be automated.

By eliminating the need for human intervention in repetitive processes, UiPath saved us costs.

The most valuable features are CR capabilities and logistics automation.

UiPath can improve its AS center region by expanding its reach and addressing technical difficulties in certain areas. While the platform works well on-premises, there are some technical issues that can be resolved when moving to the cloud.

I have been using UiPath for five years. 

I give UiPath's stability a nine out of ten.

I give UiPath's scalability an eight out of ten.

The initial setup is straightforward. However, it requires some technical knowledge, as we will need to connect to the SQL Server and Elasticsearch to create the tables. There is documentation available online that we can use, and we may also need to contact UiPath for assistance.

One person is enough for the deployment.

The implementation was completed in-house.

We have seen a return on investment with UiPath through the elimination of quality errors.

UiPath is a bit more expensive than other similar solutions, and its price is increasing daily.

We evaluated multiple tools to verify our requirements, cost, licensing, and support capabilities.

I give UiPath a nine out of ten. I recommend UiPath to others.

UiPath does not require maintenance.

We use UiPath for PDF annotations, Excel detections, and filtering data.

UiPath can be deployed on-prem or in the cloud. We are primarily using UiPath on the cloud.

The ability to build automation using UiPath is moderate depending on the complexity of the task.

I used UiPath to locate patients that were suffering from Cholera and the automation helped reduce the number of emails and human error.

UiPath enables us to implement end-to-end automation.

Having the ability to implement end-to-end automation is good.

Compared to other tools, UiPath's user community is strong, and we can consistently find solutions to any inquiries we may have.

UiPath has assisted us in minimizing human errors, saving time and money, and enhancing our client relationships by ensuring the timely delivery of our services to clients.

It has helped us reduce our on-prem footprint which is important.

The Academy courses are great and we use them to grow our skills.

The AI technology enables us to efficiently decrease the significant amount of duplicated or inaccurate patient data and quickly delivers precise and reliable results.

The AI has reduced approximately 50 percent of the errors and has provided accurate output in less time.

UiPath has sped up and reduced the cost of our digital transformation.

Our errors have been reduced by 20 to 30 percent.

UiPath has freed up some of our employee's time by 20 to 30 percent and automation has helped reduce human resources.

UiPath has saved our organization money.

The AI capabilities are the most valuable feature because it reduces human error so we can easily maintain our pipelines and we have a 99.99 percent output early.

I would like UiPath to have an offline mode where we can continue to work when there are maintenance issues.

I have been using UiPath for almost three years.

UiPath is stable.

UiPath is highly scalable.

The technical support is great.

Positive

I previously used Microsoft Power Automate but the UI was not good. Also, the user community and commerce support is better with UiPath.

The initial setup is moderate depending on the requirements. An average deployment takes us around 15 minutes.

The implementation is completed in-house.

We receive up to three times the return on investment with UiPath.

The cost of UiPath is reasonable.

I give UiPath a ten out of ten.

UiPath requires minimal maintenance and when it does the Vendor sends us a pipeline if there is an issue with our update.

I recommend UiPath.

We do workflow automation for some of the functions such as form-filling or filtering data accession on the client's web application. We use UiPath RPA for data accession and other processes. We have done workflow automation that:

1. Opens a client's website.
2. Filters out the current data.
3. Lists out all the records that need to be processed.
4. Opens each record.
5. Enters the details gathered from a spreadsheet or somewhere else.
6. Submits the application. 

It does that for all these users that have been filtered out. That's why we're using UiPath.

We're able to automate manual processes and save the effort of our employees. We're also able to save our and our clients' time. With these automations, we could also save the time of healthcare workers and patients. For example, we did automation of insurance claim processing, and based on the feedback that we received, they said that insurance claiming is safer and faster as compared to the previous manual process. For example, previously, if they were processing 100 insurance claims per day, they can now process 250 to 300 claims with automation.

UiPath helps to implement end-to-end automation. We don't have any tool other than UiPath for automation. We build the bot through UiPath and run it on the client's application. We don't have any other automation tool. This end-to-end automation makes up 95% of our business. End-to-end automation is the only thing that we're doing in our current company.

When we started and got our angel funding, we planned to build our own RPA tool for workflow automation. We did the development for almost six months, but we faced a lot of issues. We then decided to use a top, third-party RPA tool. So, we decided on using UiPath. We now have seed funding. UiPath was a savior when we were starting out. Otherwise, we would have faced a lot of issues, and even the company might not have grown without UiPath. UiPath has helped us a lot because they have years of experience building the RPA tool, and they have a lot of features to make the development process smooth.

We have been using NLP for understanding the signature in one of our documents. We just want to get the text out of the documents that have been uploaded to our claims application. For this, we use the UiPath AI functionality. If UiPath doesn't have the AI feature, we might have to get help from the cloud vendor providing AI, but because the AI is built into UiPath, it supports document understanding or language analysis that we're doing. Because AI is integrated with it, we don't have to learn anything, other than UiPath, to get the task done.

One of our workflows is extracting text from images and PDFs. We use UiPath document understanding for that. If they didn't have this feature, we might not have been able to create a workflow for the client for running a process. UiPath has helped us implement more workflows and do more processes.

UiPath has definitely reduced human error. We did have some unattended automations with UiPath but not everything can be automated. Some issues might arise that need to be resolved by a human, but 100% of the things do not need to be done by humans. Because of that, human error gets reduced. For example, we have thousands of documents that need to be classified based on the text they have. If we give that task to humans who have to handle more than 20,000 documents in a day, they will get exhausted and might make errors in classifying the documents. With UiPath automation, it can be done without any human errors. It definitely reduces human error.

UiPath has freed up employee time. The workflow automations that we have done save the time of our employees and our clients. We save approximately two to three hours per day per employee. In a week, there are 10 to 15 hours, and per month, it comes out to be about 100 hours.

UiPath didn't save the cost for us because we're not using UiPath to run the workflow. We just build the workflows and give them to the clients, but it has saved the cost for the clients. For us, it reduces the development effort. It has a lot of tools to build applications.

When it comes to UiPath, the custom robots that we can run in an EC2 instance and the on-premise support are valuable. UiPath has cloud as well as on-premise support. We have some companies that ask to run the application on our own server, so we just install UiPath in our own system and enter the UiPath key. We're running it on-premises on our own bare metal server. We can also do asset management where we can store the credential for the client's application that will be used in a runtime environment. We like credential management. 

We also have queue support in UiPath. We can just put the data in queues, and it'll be processed in a transaction manner. 

With UiPath, development is easy because they have their own Studio. We just run UiPath Studio, drag and drop the components that we require, and connect all the dots. When we're doing website automation or web app automation, we can use their UI-based Studio and grab the elements from the web application using XPath, which makes the development easier. However, for that, the initial setup is required to be done in a certain way. After we have done the setup, which includes running UiPath Studio and connecting the robots, everything is easy.

We did the UiPath courses for onboarding. We onboard many developers regularly, and every developer has to complete the course before getting started with the development. UiPath Academy was useful for learning about UiPath and getting started with the development. If we had started development without UiPath Academy courses, we wouldn't know which tools are beneficial for which use cases. Otherwise, we would've ended up using unwanted features for the use cases, which would have increased the development time. UiPath Academy gives us a list of features and tools. We get to know which tool would be suitable for a particular use case. This way, it reduces the development effort.

In the UiPath Community, a few questions get resolved and a few questions remain unresolved. UiPath has a big user community, but it needs to grow more. For example, during development, we might face some hurdles or hiccups while doing some of the tasks that we don't do on a daily basis, such as executing some API calls and getting some data. We faced some issues related to that, but when we searched for or asked about such issues in the UiPath Community, out of 10 questions, five to six questions remained unanswered. We had to resolve them on our own. So, UiPath needs to improve its community. They can offer some kind of reward for answering the questions asked in the community.

It would be helpful if UiPath could provide developers to help us with the on-premises setup. Without that, we have to figure out how we do the setup.

Its cost could also be better. We need to have a license for every robot, and it isn't possible for us to be able to run UiPath in our on-premises environment based on our usage. Even if we need to run a robot for an hour, we need to get a license for one year.

We have been using UiPath for three years.

UiPath has good stability. They have monthly software updates, but they haven't caused any issues with our system. We didn't face any issues so far because everything runs smoothly. It's 99% stable.

UiPath is scalable. Because our setup is on-premises, we manage the Orchestrator or Studio as our own. When it comes to running the bots or workflows, every time we want to run more automations, we just buy a new robot and attach it to the pool. They run smoothly. UiPath is 95% scalable.

We have about 200 users using UiPath. It's deployed at only one location.

I've contacted them. They're definitely helpful. Whatever issues we have had, they try to debug and resolve them as soon as possible. They're good. I'd rate them a nine out of ten.

Positive

We didn't use any other solution previously. We started with UiPath.

It's on-premises with the AWS-managed cloud. While setting up the on-premises environment, UiPath documentation helped the most. Without that, we wouldn't have been able to set up the on-premises environment. We had the help of the DevOps team for setting up UiPath with AWS services because we ran our UiPath environment in the AWS cloud in our account. For 60% to 70% of tasks, we used the UiPath documentation, but for setting up the reusable services and scalable machines, we had to take help from the DevOps team for the setup. If UiPath had a team to help us set up the instance in the cloud, it would have been better.

It definitely requires maintenance. They have a monthly patch for the features and software updates. We need to install those patches. We have two to three people who are involved in maintenance.

We have definitely seen an ROI. We're investing a lot in the UiPath license. It gives us two to three times more than what we invested. We're giving the workflow solutions to clients, and they're giving us the money for the workflows that are running. The UiPath is running smoothly, and we're getting two to three times more than what we invested in UiPath.

We thought of Automation Anywhere and IBM RPA. That's all. These were the ones for which we planned to do a PoC and evaluate.

I'd advise going with the cloud version of UiPath instead of the on-premises environment because it'd save the development effort and the setup time and cost. In the cloud environment, you can also run the bots on a usage basis. Going with the cloud version of UiPath would save a lot of time.

Overall, I'd rate UiPath a nine out of ten.
