Offers flexibility to seamlessly automate diverse tasks
Pros and Cons
  • "The document understanding feature is perhaps the most significant and useful use case for UiPath."
  • "However, challenges arise when attempting to automate multiple VPN connections."

What is our primary use case?

One of the use cases I've worked on involved uploading a small book containing mathematical formulas, images, and other content to a website. We converted the book's introduction into an XML file and utilized UiPath to seamlessly upload all the information onto the publication website via a step-by-step process using notes.

Another use case involved generating reports by scraping data from specific websites, particularly in the banking sector. The information gathered from one website was then uploaded to another website. These automation tasks included handling schedules, duplicative tasks in Excel, and automating financial processes. This encompassed tasks such as fetching data from databases, manipulating the data, and updating the database accordingly. Furthermore, reports were generated and distributed to users both via email and Excel files.

The automation processes also extended to extracting data from various sources, such as PDFs, images, and tables, showcasing the versatility of the automation solutions implemented so far.

While we haven't incorporated AI or machine learning into our automation programs yet, I have acquired knowledge about these technologies through the Academy.

How has it helped my organization?

It empowers us to implement end-to-end automation, a crucial capability for our needs. Achieving full automation is pivotal, and building a process from start to finish ensures a comprehensive, 100% automated solution.

The UiPath user community is beneficial, especially when new features are introduced. For instance, with the recent addition of mail integration, the community provides valuable information. In cases where we encounter challenges using specific properties of activities in the APAC, the community forum becomes a reliable resource to discuss issues, seek solutions, and stay informed about various processes and functionalities.

It helped us in entirely minimizing our on-premises footprint.

I've seized learning opportunities through the UiPath Academy, where my initial learning journey began. I continue to rely on the Academy for various courses and continually update my knowledge.

It is expected to accelerate our digital transformation, enhancing the speed of various tasks over time. While I cannot provide insight into the cost implications, the positive impact on speed is noticeable when it comes to digital transformation efforts.

It has significantly minimized human errors, especially in tasks involving extensive document processing and repetitive jobs.

It has contributed to time savings for us. With the ability to automate the monitoring process for any website, we can now sit back and relax.

We have achieved cost savings by implementing automation. Utilizing automation allows us to streamline the tasks currently handled by multiple team members. With automation, we can allocate just one team member to monitor the automation board, resulting in reduced costs compared to the expenses incurred for seven individuals performing their specific tasks.

What is most valuable?

I find the pivot feature particularly noteworthy as it enables seamless connection to any source system, allowing for data retrieval from diverse sources. Whether dealing with conventional or unique source systems, UiPath's pivot feature empowers us to connect, extract data, and efficiently integrate it into the system. Additionally, I've been impressed by the task mining and task capture functionalities. This feature provides insights into the entire process, making it a compelling addition. The document understanding feature is perhaps the most significant and useful use case for UiPath. It allows for extracting data from both structured and unstructured formats, providing versatility in handling various document structures.

Creating automation with UiPath is straightforward, whether you're building them or simply learning how to use the tool. It offers a trial version that's accessible for two years, making it convenient for anyone looking to learn and apply the platform. The simplicity extends to the process itself; setting up conditions and building automation becomes easy and intuitive. Regardless of the complexity of the task, UiPath enables the creation of goal-based automation, ensuring efficiency and effectiveness in achieving specific objectives.

What needs improvement?

When dealing with a VPN connection, automating the process becomes essential. However, challenges arise when attempting to automate multiple VPN connections.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using it for more than four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability of the automation depends on how we establish the rules for a specific automation task. When we define a set of rules for rule-based automation, it tends to operate smoothly without lagging or getting stuck. The automation remains robust as long as the established rules are adhered to, even when there are changes in the user interface of the system.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I would rate the scalability capabilities eight out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

We reached out to tech support when encountering challenges that we couldn't resolve independently. Although direct contact with them has been limited to the initial stages, such as during the license purchasing process, we have relied on the technical team's assistance for troubleshooting and problem resolution.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was relatively straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

We have the flexibility to deploy both on-premises and on the cloud. The ease or difficulty of deployment is somewhat contingent on the client's machines. Various client systems may have specific restrictions; some are more stringent, while others have fewer limitations. The complexity arises when certain systems impose restrictions, especially concerning data source connections. The number of systems to be deployed dictates the need for a team knowledgeable about effectively integrating the software into diverse systems, but mostly two individuals are enough. Overall, I find the deployment process to be quite straightforward and maintenance to be easier compared to other alternatives.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is quite reasonable. I believe it is more affordable compared to other automation tools such as Automation Anywhere, which is often considered out of budget.

What other advice do I have?

My suggestion would be for any user interested in learning about UiPath to start with the trial version before committing to the implementation. Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.

Enables us to design bots in a static and dynamic way
Pros and Cons
  • "Orchestrator and features such as Queues Triggers are helpful in monitoring the ports and looking after the performance."
  • "For UiPath Orchestrator and Studio, if I want to watch the performance of my machines at a specific time or time range, there is no option for that. There are options for one day or week, but there is no option to specify a date such as from Nov 1 to Nov 3. This option should be there for queues and monitoring."

What is our primary use case?

I have done the certification in Microsoft Certified Solution Associate (MCSA) and Microsoft Azure Administration. I look after the actual environment site where we can run the bots. We watch the environment's behavior, and we operate the Orchestrator, which is connected to the AI system. We run different types of processes through Orchestrator, and I am the administrator of Orchestrator. I give the rights and assign roles to the users. 

How has it helped my organization?

UiPath has been performing very well. It is very easy to learn and understand. We are going to move the most work done by employees to the bots because the bots get work done in minutes instead of hours. An eight-hour job can be done in three to four hours. 

We plan to bring more bots for efficiency. We would like to add more bots and reduce the time taken for various tasks.

We can design bots in a static or dynamic way. We can use the dynamic way to perform the actions in any environment or platform.

UiPath has freed up employee time. The time saved depends on the complexity of the process.

UiPath is easy to work with and understand. If anything is confusing, we just send our questions, and we get the answer as soon as possible. Designing a process with email, Excel, and any other application can take more than 15 or 20 days.

UiPath saves costs. By using bots, we can save the costs of services provided by humans, but I do not have the metrics. We have many departments, such as finance and global compliance management, and it is hard to know how much cost it has saved.

What is most valuable?

Orchestrator and features such as Queues Triggers are helpful in monitoring the ports and looking after the performance.

I have done the UiPath Academy course to learn how to manage the environment and Orchestrator. I was able to learn many things through UiPath Academy, and I was able to work on Orchestrator myself. The benefit of UiPath Academy is that it is accessible from everywhere. You can continue watching the videos at home or in the office. The explanation, presentation, and instructors are very good. You do not have to watch the videos again and again. You can just watch it once, and you understand everything.

What needs improvement?

For UiPath Orchestrator and Studio, if I want to watch the performance of my machines at a specific time or time range, there is no option for that. There are options for one day or week, but there is no option to specify a date such as from Nov 1 to Nov 3. This option should be there for queues and monitoring.

For how long have I used the solution?

It has been more than one year since I have been using UiPath.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate it an eight out of ten in terms of stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution. I would rate it a nine out of ten in terms of scalability.

How are customer service and support?

We do not need much support to use UiPath. We are not getting many errors.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have not worked with any other similar solution. I have only worked with UiPath Studio and Orchestrator.

We have worked on the Python scripts to design the bots, but it was complicated. We had to write more and more scripts and make them efficient. It was very hard. With UiPath, we found a very good option to perform the activities in an easy way. We do not have to code much. We can just drag and drop things and have a solution. 

How was the initial setup?

It is mostly straightforward. We just need to call IT to install UiPath. I give the license via a machine key.

We have it on-premises. We have not connected it to the cloud or third party. 

In terms of maintenance, there are certain packages that we have to download for running the activities. For example, if I am using Python with UiPath Studio, I need to download a specific library.

What about the implementation team?

We implemented it in-house. For deployment, there are two or three members of the team who work with UiPath and provide the infrastructure, and then we have about 25 developers. We have a development team and an operations team.

The development team develops the processes and the operation department runs those processes via triggers or manually. They are usually run on the Windows environment. There are multiple bots working at the same time, and we have the monitoring tool by UiPath, and we are also working via Kibana. Kibana works with Elasticsearch. We have all the logs and bots' performance metrics. We can view it all with one dashboard in Kibana.

What other advice do I have?

RPA is the future. Every bank and organization is looking for bots to perform their jobs because bots are more efficient than humans.

It is an efficient and easy-to-use tool. If needed, you can get a lot of support through UiPath forums and other resources on the web.

We have not used the AI functionality in our automation program, but we plan to use it.

Overall, I would rate UiPath a nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

Saves thousands of hours and helps with business scalability
Pros and Cons
  • "The ability to connect various systems that do not have any kind of API between and the areas where we need to mimic what a human does to a system in terms of input and output is valuable."
  • "Some of the areas around the administration aspect of UiPath, which is what I have been mostly working with over the past few years, can be better. From an organizational standpoint, some of the guidance there could use some work in terms of helping COEs know how to grow and how to take control of their organizations as they spread."

What is our primary use case?

We are an insurance company. We mainly deal with all types of insurance from casualty and specialty to even aviation and medical stop loss.

I have had use cases where we have been taking information from emails and phone calls to put them into a mainframe. We have done claims intake for insurance, and then we have notifications. For the policy system, we have done a lot of back-office accounting work.

By implementing UiPath, we were trying to seek a way to free hours up at critical times. It is not just about hours saved. It is also the quality of the hours that we save and freeing people up for more value-added work.

How has it helped my organization?

UiPath has definitely helped with scalability. The number one reason to use something like UiPath is to increase scalability so that we are less susceptible to changes in the market. We can grow our business without growing our staff hours.

UiPath has changed the way we perceive our processes because even outside of processes that we automate, we look at our processes in a new way in terms of process improvement. Not everything needs to be automated. Some things just need to have the process changed. It has helped us to be very critical of our processes and be more forward-thinking and not just sticking in the same ruts.

UiPath has helped with the accuracy. There is less fat fingering of things. When the robot is entering things into a system, it will put in exactly what was input into it. There is also a chance for transposing things, so there is a lot more accuracy in that respect.

UiPath has freed up time and resources for other tasks. That has been our main focus in terms of the ROI we look for. With the accounting back office practices, our close cycles are shorter, but people are not working more. With automation, we now have things that are on more of a 24-hour cycle. We are able to do a higher volume in less time.

We have saved thousands of hours not just in the back office accounting side for close cycles but also in insurance. We have busy seasons. We sometimes had to hire temporary workers. With the automation of our claims intake and other processes in that area, we are no longer hiring those temporary workers. We do not need them anymore.

What is most valuable?

The ability to connect various systems that do not have any kind of API between and the areas where we need to mimic what a human does to a system in terms of input and output is valuable. We primarily use UI automation where we simulate what a human does within an application. By using the right selectors, we try to find where on the screen we need to click. We take in information from input files. We use all the logic flowcharts and logic trees to determine where the information needs to go in a system.

What needs improvement?

Some of the areas around the administration aspect of UiPath, which is what I have been mostly working with over the past few years, can be better. From an organizational standpoint, some of the guidance there could use some work in terms of helping COEs know how to grow and how to take control of their organizations as they spread.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using UiPath for about five years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

There are still some stability issues. There are sometimes issues related to bots acting up. It can be hard to tell whether that is something related to how we developed it or whether the bots are having an issue. We are not sure why, but there are some stability issues.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Its scalability is fine. It has definitely gotten better over the past few years with all the improvements there. I know there have also been new offerings for serverless robots, which we have looked into, but they do not fit our needs. The UiPath Orchestrator makes it easy to maintain its governability as we scale, which is one of the main differentiators of this solution.

How are customer service and support?

They can sometimes be hard to get a hold of. There have been a few times we have had to go to the UiPath Pro support. While we have eventually gotten to the solution, it has sometimes taken us a while to get in contact with someone who has the right knowledge to help us with our problem. 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?

This is the first one we have been using. We have a group in the company that started using Power Automate. They ran into a problem and turned that back over to us. We are the UiPath team. They tried to automate something with Power Automate, and we ended up taking over that project.

Orchestration is the main differentiator between Power Automate and UiPath. UiPath has orchestration whereas Power Automate does not. Without that orchestration, you lose a lot of the value for these robots, especially at the organizational control level.

How was the initial setup?

I was brought on specifically to do the deployment at my current company. It was fairly easy. I did an on-prem deployment about five years ago, and now, I am doing the cloud deployment. We are using the automation cloud. Having the automation cloud made it much easier to do the deployment this time than trying to set up the on-prem Orchestrator the first time.

In terms of the implementation strategy, we essentially looked at how many processes we had as candidates and what we thought the bot load would be. We stood up that many VMs. We deployed unattended robots to those. In terms of Orchestrator, we just did some basic tenant separation, and as we have grown, we have seen where to increase the bots.

What about the implementation team?

We used one called Accelerate to start with. Our experience was fine. Our goal was always to transition to our own, so after the proof of concept was done, we hired our own developers. We hired our own team and went from there.

What was our ROI?

We have definitely seen ROI coming from it. For any project we take on, we look at both quantitative and qualitative aspects. Quantitative is usually just the hours saved. If a process is automated, how many hours are saved as compared to the last one? Qualitative would be things like whether we have increased accuracy, whether we have increased any time to the next process in the chain, or whether we have gained redundancy and reduced the fragility of our processes.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

If it can be lower, we will always take lower.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Blue Prism was what we looked at pretty heavily. We looked at Pega. We also looked at Power Automate, and some groups within the company decided to try and use that. 

When comparing UiPath and Blue Prism, there is clearly a difference in power and capabilities between the two. We also had a solution partner who could work with us better with UiPath at the time.

What other advice do I have?

We are currently setting up the AI Center. We have not used UiPath Process Mining and Task Mining. We tried to use the task binder where you record something and create a workflow from it, but it was not very useful for us. The output was not very useful for us. The documentation from it was also not useful for us.

If you are evaluating UiPath and other products, I would advise looking at what kind of model you are looking for. Are you looking for a more federated model or a centralized model?  You should look at what kind of governance you need in place for the solution you are looking for. One type of solution is that you put it in someone's hands and leave it and forget it. If you want to empower people and maintain central control, UiPath would be for you.

In terms of deployment, I would go for the automation cloud every time. There is the ease of use of not having to worry about standing up your own servers to monitor that. The US cloud especially has been very stable.

Overall, I would rate UiPath a nine out of ten.

Fair pricing, easy automation building, and good support
Pros and Cons
  • "We used to have two shifts before acquiring UiPath. Now, we've reduced the human workforce for the night shift. 60% of the work we can assign to RPA."
  • "The billing plans should be improved."

What is our primary use case?

We're a consulting firm and we use the solution to automate various systems, mostly in data processing, including in the customer service department. We're also using it to take advantage of artificial intelligence.

How has it helped my organization?

We've noticed a lot of benefits. For example, I've noted a reduction in errors in data processing and analysis. We've also been able to increase our working hours. We don't necessarily need to have a human workforce going around the clock. There are some hours or some shifts where we rely on the robot to take care of the workflow. We've also been able to apply artificial intelligence to our work to amplify the customer service experience and help us be efficient and fast.

What is most valuable?

The pricing is pretty fair. It fits various types of organizations.

The support has been very good. We appreciate it. Support is in various languages.

Building automation is very easy. You can deploy anywhere and you can even access the platform using a mobile device, web browser, or iPad. This flexibility makes it easy to use. 

It allows us to handle end-to-end automation, mostly for data analytics and data processing. With this option, we are able to work through processes 24/7. This reduces the amount of downtime.

The community has been very helpful. You can go there if you have minimal problems instead of going to support or having to shut down your whole system. You can contact someone in your community, and they can help share insights. It's helpful for teaching staff how to use the platform.

We've been able to reduce our on-premises footprint. At the same time, we've been able to grow our digital footprint.

We have dashboards where we can monitor staff, and even if they are far away or working from home, we are able to monitor everything, and people no longer need to necessarily be on-premises to work.

The solution has a useful Academy that I started using in the past year. When we have new employees who are onboarding to the department, we conduct an initial training. However, after that, they can go to the UiPath Academy and acquire even more skills. The biggest benefit is that it allows any employee to learn on their own time. It gives everyone the potential to grow and learn at their own pace.

We have used the AI functionality from UiPath, mostly in Europe. As an accounting company, we handle tons of Excel worksheets and formulas. The AI makes it all very efficient and helps with analytics and processing. 

It's sped up our digital transformation. Initially, we did not have automation. We only had automation available through other companies. When we adopted UiPath, we developed an automated process that allowed us to bypass having a human behind the computer.

UiPath helps reduce human error. It's reduced it by a huge amount and was a big reason for us acquiring the product.

The solution has helped free up employee time. Employees now have to do less manual work. You don't have to manually look at every receipt or every piece of data. We assign a UiPath automation to the task. Something that would take a human an hour is done in 15 to 20 minutes.

It does save us money. We used to have two shifts before acquiring UiPath. Now, we've reduced the human workforce for the night shift. 60% of the work we can assign to RPA. Less of a human workforce means less money spent on manual productivity. It's helped us reduce our overall operating costs.

What needs improvement?

The billing plans should be improved. Instead of billing per month, they can offer plans for a year or two.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for a year and eight months. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable, depending on your infrastructure.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. 

How are customer service and support?

We contacted support in the initial six to eight months of usage. We used to contact them monthly since not all staff were knowledgeable. 

Support was fast enough. Of course, there were sometimes technical errors and it would take two to three hours to get a response.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We did not previously use any automation solution. 

How was the initial setup?

While we started on the cloud of the free trial, we moved to the on-premises deployment model.

The deployment was easy. We started with the free trial, and after we saw the results, that informed our decision to continue.

We had 20 to 40 people involved in the deployment. 

There is some maintenance required. New employees need to be onboarded and sometimes they mess up and the IT team will have to return the platform to normal.

What about the implementation team?

We didn't go through any other channel during deployment. We had an efficient vendor from UiPath.

What was our ROI?

We have seen an ROI in that we were able to reduce the need for so many workers on night shifts. That aspect has brought down our operating expenses while driving productivity up.

What other advice do I have?

I'm a customer and end user. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

User-friendly interface, robust scalability, and comprehensive community support
Pros and Cons
  • "Starting with UI automation is valuable as it mirrors users' existing workflows, building their confidence before expanding into more powerful automation methods."
  • "There are instances when the introduction of new features or concepts can be a bit overwhelming for users."

What is our primary use case?

We use UiPath to automate the repetitive tasks typically performed by knowledge workers, with a primary focus on areas such as finance, HR, and supply chain.

What is most valuable?

Starting with UI automation is valuable as it mirrors users' existing workflows, building their confidence before expanding into more powerful automation methods.

What needs improvement?

There are instances when the introduction of new features or concepts can be a bit overwhelming for users.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using UiPath for five years now.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate its stability capabilities nine out of ten as there is always room for improvement.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It offers excellent scalability. I would rate it ten out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

When we were initially planning our move to the cloud, we reached out to the support team for guidance. Our account executive connected us with the UiPath professional service team, who were incredibly helpful in addressing all our inquiries and concerns. Even our cybersecurity team had many security questions, and they provided comprehensive answers to ensure our transition was well-informed and secure. I would rate it ten out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was complex due to the various components involved, such as Orchestration, Kibana, document storage, and databases. Each of these had its own installation and maintenance requirements, which was a constant task.

What about the implementation team?

We needed to streamline the installation to focus more on building automation rather than dealing with upgrades and maintenance, so we migrated the deployment to the cloud. This transition reduced the complexity associated with interfaces and orchestration.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is quite reasonable.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Our company evaluated multiple leading tools and ultimately chose UiPath. One important factor was its open approach, offering a community edition for users to learn and explore the platform without an initial purchase. This approach fosters community development and creates a vast knowledge pool, making UiPath stand out. It encourages individuals to learn and explore the tool before transitioning to the enterprise version, while also providing a valuable talent pool for support and assistance.

What other advice do I have?

My advice is to encourage exploring the platform, although it might be overwhelming due to its rapidly expanding features. While there may be initial confusion regarding UiPath's focus on AI, recent events have clarified its core message. It empowers users to deliver the models they create, integrating smoothly with enterprise systems. It enhances automation capabilities while incorporating AI elements, ultimately putting you in control of the AI within the platform. 

I would rate UiPath ten out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Improves accuracy and throughput but has poor support
Pros and Cons
  • "I have no issues with stability. UiPath improves how our infrastructure works and how stable everything is."
  • "We would like to see better connectivity with different technologies. We found credential management to be something that is a real problem for us, especially working with third-party systems."

What is our primary use case?

We do a lot of claims processing for healthcare providers. We handled the billing, and it was very beneficial for us to use automation to perform those claims management and submit the claims for those various providers.

We utilize Orchestrator, the robots, both attended and unattended, and team sites.

How has it helped my organization?

Our organization was trying to achieve better accuracy and better throughput with this AI-powered automation initiative. We were just getting all the claims processed that we needed to because we just couldn't keep up with the workload. Using automation was a requirement.

It is very important that UiPath has orchestration. Without Orchestration, we wouldn't be able to do anything we do. My team specifically manages the Orchestration, and after the automation goes live, they come to my team to manage. 

Without Orchestration, I couldn't comprehend how we could do it. We have 360 machines running over a hundred processes with thousands of transactions a day. Without Orchestration, I don't see how we would be able to use the function.

What is most valuable?

Unattended robots with Orchestrator are our bread and butter. We don't do very many attended automations. It just seems that they are much more resilient when we run a program in a way that doesn't involve any users. 

We did have insights at one point, but that was prior to it being re-engineered by UiPath. We have to pick that back up because it didn't really work for us back in the day, but I've been told that they've changed the vendors that they've used for that product. We've re-licensed it, and we're in the midst of reimplementing it.

We are working with a vendor, Namica, the UiPath vendor and we are starting with task discovery processes. We're just touching more on task capture instead of process mining.  

What needs improvement?

We would like to see better connectivity with different technologies. We found credential management to be something that is a real problem for us, especially working with third-party systems. 

Being able to manage those credentials and have a product that could help us with that would be nice to have. We've ended up using CyberArk WPM for this purpose. But it's not something that's prepackaged; we've had to do it ourselves.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I have no issues with stability. UiPath improves how the infrastructure works and how stable everything is. I haven't had many problems. There are a couple of quirks that different product levels will address or resolve, but it's documented pretty well on the support side.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability is pretty good. We did scale. Our initial rollout was 65 machines within Orchestrator, and we have since gone to 360 with one Orchestrator and one tenant. It's pretty good—I don't have any complaints about the scalability.

How are customer service and support?

When I need support, I need them to respond. I actually had an instance last week where Orchestrator was not performing well. There were a lot of locks on the database, and it was bringing the Orchestrator trigger down. 

I opened a ticket and marked the criticality level as high. There's only one above that, and I didn't get a response back for a few hours. 

I had to go back to my sales personnel and explain to them that it was unacceptable. There was a problem with support.

In that particular instance, it was pretty poor, but I hope they saw that it was a problem and are working to address it.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Negative

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We used Microsoft Power Automate very briefly because it's just part of our Office 365 package. We've used it very sparingly. It was more of a means to an end than a plan. 

We're actually looking to use it with a UiPath automation that we've created because it's Microsoft-centric, and it'll work quicker and do what we need it to do without having to invest a lot of time in the development. It might just be a subset of what we do.

How was the initial setup?

We're currently on-prem, but we're looking to change that. We're up for renewal in January and are already discussing that shift over to the cloud. We can utilize AI better if we shift to the cloud. 

I manage the infrastructure and the deployment of all the processes. I have a pretty solid background in infrastructure, so it seemed pretty straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

We have a lot of departments within our organization that can do the implementations. But personally, I'd rather just do it myself and make sure it works.

What was our ROI?

We have an admin team that makes sure that the ROI is there before we even start.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is competitive. I like the solution's pricing structure. However, the development tools can have a better discount because we'd like to have more developers be able to do the work. 

In the long term, running the product and running the automation unattended, I completely understand the pricing structure there, but on the Studio side of it, UiPath can come down a little bit on the pricing.

What other advice do I have?

The product is leading the way toward AI, and there's some onus to make sure that we stay current with what UiPath is doing. It's the other way around too, where they need to understand where we are and help support us and our program. It's a two-way street. They need to make sure we understand where they're going, and they need to understand where we are. 

Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten. 

I would recommend making sure your process discovery is done correctly because no matter how many automations you can put in place if you don't have a good understanding of your processes, it's not going to do anybody any good. 

Process discovery and getting buy-in from management are key.

Improves operational accuracy and efficiency
Pros and Cons
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

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. 

What is most valuable?

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

What needs improvement?

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. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

UiPath is scalable. 

How are customer service and support?

We work very closely with our UiPath representative. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

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

How was the initial setup?

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

What about the implementation team?

We work very closely with Deloitte. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We had evaluated Automation Anywhere. 

What other advice do I have?

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.

Efficient and frees up employee time with helpful technical support on offer
Pros and Cons
  • "It's just easy. It streamlines our activities very well."
  • "It would be nice to have physical support, where UiPath can come to companies and do frequent visits for troubleshooting."

What is our primary use case?

Our company deals with data analysis and we use the RPA to help with various functions related to data analysis and to keep our operations moving 24/7.

How has it helped my organization?

Since we've automated, we've received great results in improved performance and helped increase productivity. Our business has expanded and the solution has made customer service faster. We're also able to respond to various suppliers and stakeholders more efficiently. Whatever they require they can get in just the click of a button.

The biggest benefit so far has been the upward trajectory of our productivity. Our teams have become more efficient and productive. 

We're also saving on staff and allowing staff to work more remotely.

What is most valuable?

It's very easy to deploy and we can use it without any problems. It's easy to learn. We have various staff members using the product. It's easy to troubleshoot if you run into issues. The support team is very efficient.

It's just easy. It streamlines our activities very well. Before acquiring it, we had issues with data loss and record keeping. Now, it automates everything. It's efficient for tracking and acquiring whatever data you are using. 

It took us less than a month to automate everything. From there, it's picked up very well and has been super stable. there's no buffering. We have no problems. 

We use it for a diverse group of people who come from different departments. It can be used in customer service, bookkeeping, HR, et cetera. It works across diverse projects and staff. 

The automation saves time on various tasks. It used to be handled by a human workforce that had to handle repetitive or cumbersome tasks. Now, it can be done efficiently without even using humans. Now, we can run 24 hours a day. Even when shifts are over, the robots keep working.

We can enable end-to-end automation. It's enabled now. We're even thinking of implementing it further and acquiring more products. We want to use it as the core of our automation. We do have processes that are almost end-to-end. Three-quarters of them are almost fully automated. For example, ticketing. How we attend to our customers is very extensively automated using UiPath.

The user community is very efficient. They help us a lot. We can exchange notes. For example, we've used the community to figure out how to implement benchmarking in our company. We get very efficient notes on how to improve our systems.

It's helped minimize our on-premises footprint. It's on the cloud. For example, we can have more staff working remotely. When we had our entire team in the office, our production cost was very high. However, now that we've allowed remote work, we've saved money and found more efficiency.

Some of our staff have used our Academy courses. Some staff that are not so tech-savvy have taken advantage of the courses. It's improved the general knowledge of the platform and has made onboarding more efficient so that other users can learn more about how to benefit from this platform.

It's helped us with digital transformation. It's helped us move away from manual processes and away from analog systems. We're working to be more digitally efficient. 

It has helped free up employee time. They are now able to engage in other activities within the company. It's enabled them to complete their work and assigned responsibilities on time. It's likely freed up employee time by 50% to 60%.

From a value perspective, we have seen cost savings. Tasks that have traditionally taken a week take far less time. It helps save money on the organization's part as it all takes less time. We might have seen a cost saving on tasks of 42% to 50%.

What needs improvement?

It would be nice to have physical support, where UiPath can come to companies and do frequent visits for troubleshooting. It takes a while to respond back and forth when there's an issue. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for three years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable unless we have a network problem or connectivity issues. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We use it across the organization, and within different departments. We have 500 users, and 12 people using the solution on a daily basis. 

The scalability is good. It's easy to scale up.

How are customer service and support?

Support is very friendly. They are amazing people. The time it takes to respond might be a day. When they do reach out they are super-efficient. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We did not previously use a different solution. 

How was the initial setup?

We are working with the latest version of the solution. 

From what I understand for IT, who deployed it, it's not hard to maintain the solution. 

What about the implementation team?

Our IT dealt with the vendor during the initial setup.

What was our ROI?

We have witnessed an ROI since the production costs have gone down while the productivity has risen overall. Everything across operations is streamlined and staff are working more efficiently.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

For small users and startups, the price is a bit high. However, it does give good value for money. For established organizations, it's reasonable. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We did evaluate other solutions, however, we found UiPath very popular and heard good things from people who used it. 

What other advice do I have?

We are not currently using the tools' AI functionality. We're just considering adopting it. We're not there yet. 

I'd recommend the solution. It helps you realize your automation journey. It's good to get some training or some general knowledge about the product so that you can use it without delay.

I would rate the solution nine out of ten. It's one of the most popular options on the market. It's adaptable across departments, from product to service, to finance - everything. It can be used across the board. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
