UiPath Platform Reviews

We utilize UiPath for the automation process within our organization.

Building automation using UiPath is easy. I rate the ease of writing workflows a nine out of ten.

UiPath enables us to implement end-to-end automation, which is important because it aligns with the current demand. There are workflows that users prefer not to interrupt or intervene with, hence the absence of intervention workflows. There are two types of automation: one with human intervention and another without. We prefer a workflow that eliminates the need for any human intervention right from the beginning.

I am a member of UiPath's user community, where individuals write workflows and create various applications. UiPath is putting more effort into promoting the community when compared to Automation Anywhere. However, apart from joining the forums they provide, I have not taken advantage of the additional benefits they offer yet.

We recognized the advantages of UiPath within the initial quarter of usage.

We utilize AI functionality in our automation programming to the fullest extent possible.

UiPath's AI functionality has enabled us to automate more processes overall.

UiPath has enabled us to reduce the workforce for the specific tasks we handle by 75 percent.

It helps to speed up digital transformation.

Human error has been reduced.

It has tripled the amount of time freed up for our employees.

UiPath has reduced costs by a factor of three.

The ability to deploy UiPath from a mobile device is the most valuable feature.

Although AI functionality has improved in its ability to automate more complex or involved processes in the past five years, there is still ample room for further improvement.

The APIs are predominantly on-premises-focused, and there should be greater availability of cloud-based APIs.

There are workflows in which we use AI to take screenshots to assist us in making decisions, and these workflows need improvement.

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

The stability of UiPath is better than Automation Anywhere.

UiPath is scalable.

We also use Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism, but UiPath allows us to deploy from mobile devices, and is also easier to create automation.

The initial setup is complex, but UiPath provides all the required tools, so with some patience, it is manageable. The deployment took one hour. We created workflows to set up the machines with all the necessary software and UiPath. Next, we deployed the workload monitor and tested various use cases on some data for one or two days. After that, we left it to their employees to provide us feedback after a week.

Two DevOps people were used in the deployment.

The implementation was completed in-house.

UiPath has delivered four times the return on investment by implementing complete end-to-end automation.

The price is high. UiPath is more expensive than Automation Anywhere. The solution is not affordable for small businesses.

I give UiPath an eight out of ten.

Some of our team members have utilized UiPath's Academy courses, and although we train using unofficial courses, the Academy courses are beneficial.

5,200 end users use it in our company. 

Five DevOps professionals are required for UiPath maintenance.

My advice would be to take a look at the new features, particularly those related to AI. Many people discuss the old features that don't have much impact, but it's the new features that truly matter.

I have learned that not everything can be automated, especially in complex scenarios where we must exercise extra caution in our environment.

I utilize UiPath to automate the majority of tasks that we previously had to implement manually.

Building automation with UiPath is a simple task that does not require any coding knowledge, making it accessible even for beginners.

UiPath has helped our organization accelerate performance and increase production across our entire enterprise. We are now able to service our clients within the shortest time possible.

UiPath enables us to implement end-to-end automation. The processes we engage with UiPath help us monitor the entire implementation process and show us where there are downtimes and challenges within the workflow.

We have benefited from being part of UiPath's user community. We are able to connect with the customer support team and receive prompt answers to our questions through video calls.

UiPath has enabled us to transition from manual work processes to automation, thereby reducing the cost of human labor and effectively minimizing our on-premises footprint.

Our team utilized UiPath Academy courses to integrate UiPath with our applications, aiming to achieve optimal performance and expedite our vendor network infrastructure. This integration ensures comprehensive monitoring and security throughout the entire workflow process.

We utilize the AI functionality within our automation program to ensure the acceleration of program implementations.

AI has simplified the majority of complex processes and has reduced the cost and time required to implement most tasks by 40 percent.

UiPath has expedited our digital transformation by assuming control of all manual logs. We have automated all processes related to information processing and task implementation.

UiPath has reduced human errors by 80 percent.

The automation and speed of the platform are the most valuable features of UiPath.

The cost of full deployment is high and there is room for improvement.

I have been using UiPath for three months.

UiPath is a stable solution.

UiPath is scalable.

The technical support team is cooperative in assisting us with challenges related to our operations and security configurations. It is easy to obtain support for critical issues.

Positive

We had previously utilized IBM Robotic Process Automation; however, the organization's management faced challenges with IBM's lack of cooperation. Consequently, we sought a more advanced and reliable solution.

The initial setup was simple. The deployment lasted for two days and necessitated the presence of three individuals.

We have observed approximately a 30 percent return on investment by utilizing UiPath.

UiPath is priced to accommodate large enterprises, but it is expensive for small and medium-sized enterprises.

I would rate UiPath eight out of ten. UiPath exhibits scalability and flexibility in terms of integrations.

UiPath is utilized by four people in our department.

Maintenance is required for upgrades.

I recommend UiPath to any enterprise that is seeking suitable tools for robotic process automation.

We use UiPath to understand and refine supply chain business processes. Our company is a solution integrator developing solutions for clients. We help companies undergo a digital transformation and digitize existing processes and systems.

You can monitor and automate existing processes, but it's challenging if there's a skill involved. You need to optimize the process and ensure the system is fully integrated. You're pushing the data into UiPath and optimizing the process. You want to integrate it with another system that isn't part of your environment or improve your process. In that case, sometimes you don't have the data in place. That is what you call process mining or process automation.

If you want to understand the processes you have in place, UiPath can help you understand the gap between the design and execution. For example, you can see if the data is pointed in the right direction and identify where your process has problems. You can also integrate some monitoring capabilities to detect some patterns. 

Another important thing for our organization is migration. If you want to change something or relocate a process, you can measure and transfer those things. If the method you want to migrate isn't in place, you need to create something from scratch that currently lacks support. UiPath is suitable for detecting and monitoring existing processes but is not good at identifying new flows, cases, and procedures. That's one area where it needs to improve.

UiPath helped minimize our on-premise footprint. We use AI for some aspects, such as detection and segmentation. Some companies implemented ChatGPT-type functionality, but we haven't tried that. 

UiPath substantially reduced human error. It speeds up the business. You can communicate with the customer and show them what's happening. That's the advantage. It frees up employee time because it's an automated process, and you can replace a lot of labor with the tools and the general report. It depends on the data and the efficiency of the data integration, but you can save 20 to 60 percent of labor time.

I like how you can download the log and perform static analysis. You can also do dynamic monitoring to look into the system integration. The ease of building automation depends on the vendor you are integrating. You bring data in and push it out through the API. It's relatively easy either way. 

The UiPath community is helpful because you can ask questions and get tips from other people on best practices. Many of the problems have already been resolved by others so you can get advice from those people. You can also see how other people use the system. 

UiPath could add more interactive features that enable you to explore and design processes from scratch. There should be more features that support the digital transformation process from the design phase. In the current data panel, you need to start with a process that's already in place. 

You can do end-to-end automation with UiPath, but the problem is that the system hasn't been integrated from that perspective, so UiPath has some disadvantages. It's easier to handle an existing system in UiPath, but it's harder to integrate and model a new system. 

I have used UiPath for about a year. Before I started using UiPath, I was involved in developing these kinds of processes for more than 10 years, so I'm experienced in this area.

Deploying UiPath is straightforward. We had a team of two people primarily responsible for the deployment and one or two additional staff. 

We worked with UiPath during the deployment. They have a consulting team that we use when possible. 

The real ROI comes in the later process monitoring stage. You need to spend money initially planning and building processes. Once you get to the evaluation phase, you start to recognize the advantage of using these tools.

Most tools have a trial license. With UiPath, you need to pay from the beginning. Many customers aren't familiar with the product, so it would be helpful if they offered a free evaluation period. 

We need experience with UiPath because we have to convince the customer to adopt it.

We evaluated several other options, but I can't recall which ones. UiPath's advantage is that you can do system automation. 

I rate UiPath an eight out of ten.

UiPath is one of three automation products that we use to build solutions for Canadian federal departments. We use it for several automations based on the client's requests and tie it with an NLP AI to query a large database of documents and auto-generate responses to thousands of clients.

We have to surrender certain documents to the public, but the documents have to be deduped. We use UiPath to collect those and perform deduplication with another system. 

I tend to use what UiPath offers, but I also have a full AI shop and Microsoft, so we've been using more of our solutions. Their document understanding features have helped a lot. We haven't used any of what I'd call their "Black Box" AI because explainability is super important. You need to understand what's going on under the hood. You can't always fully understand because it's their proprietary technology. We run into issues because we're with the Canadian government and we cannot allow services that are based in the United States.

It's too early to tell from the perspective of digital transformation. We tend to take on projects where we can realize value immediately. UiPath is fairly expensive, and the cost grows as you scale it. On the other hand, it's cheaper than employees and reduces backlogs. It frees up a lot of employee time if implemented properly. UiPath also reduces human error in most cases, particularly transactional data that is hand-typed by people.

When it comes to developing and deploying technology like this, there's a fair amount of planning, organizing, and putting all kinds of people in place. Building a project to scale involves a large upfront cost, so we need a little more time and automations to see that benefit.

Organizations should never underestimate the need to adjust their management strategy and implement a center of excellence. You need to educate your staff and bring in good use cases that demonstrate that value. All of this takes time, effort, and talent, which are seldom factored into the cost of automation.

If I eliminate seven full-time employees at $100,000 a year, so I've saved $700,000. However, if I'm spending $700,000 to implement and run processes, then it's net neutral. I need more time to start realizing those tangible benefits. I believe we will see some cost savings, but we have to stay focused. 

One of my biggest frustrations with UiPath is that they're constantly changing the underlying technology and adding features, so you're not always in a stable state. You're looking at the next shiny thing, and that distracts us from our initiative. Because we work with the government, we must go through the security assessment process each time they change something. We have to pay the costs associated with reviewing their infrastructure.

UiPath has an excellent GUI. It's an easy platform to develop on. They have lots of existing code that you can download and use. UiPath is strongly oriented toward intelligent automation, which is where we need to be. Their roadmap looks promising. 

They also have solid training and education resources. As a leader, I find UiPath Academy useful. I can send my new staff there to get up to speed quickly. It's a terrific way to introduce people to the platform so they can hit the ground running. Their user community is also helpful.  

We have used UiPath for three years.

I rate UiPath's support a seven and a half out of ten. 

Neutral

I'd love to see UiPath's pricing align better with the product maturity life cycle. UiPath's licensing model drives the cost up rapidly, whereas their competition has been cutting prices and bundling more. It's hard to stick with the technology when they're significantly more expensive. This segment is being flooded with new products. 

UiPath will have a hard time competing if they don't drop their prices. On the other hand, all of the things that give them an advantage cost money, like UiPath Academy, their excellent technical support team, marketing, etc. 

I rate UiPath an eight and a half out of ten.

UiPath is a robotic process automation tool used for large-scale end-to-end automation. It provides solutions for businesses to automate routine office activities.

It is easy to implement building automation with UiPath. This solution provides two million automation processes, which is a higher number compared to any other automation solution.

The app enables us to implement end-to-end automation for accelerated business exchange and the robots are used to translate the strategies into the task.

The user community of UiPath offers an environment filled with information for us to work with.

UiPath can help reduce automation costs by 80 to 90 percent compared to other software solutions. Additionally, UiPath offers time-saving benefits compared to other industry-presented software.

We utilize UiPath Academy courses to assist our organization in sales, banking, systems, and trade execution.

AI has helped us automate processes by using machine learning and complex algorithms to analyze certain data, and we can develop a business knowledge base by formulating predictions based on data. 

UiPath has significantly reduced costs and time consumption compared to other automation tools like Blue Prism, which is a Microsoft tool that I have also used. UiPath offers unique features that Blue Prism does not provide. Although Blue Prism may reduce costs by 70 to 80 percent, UiPath's cost reduction capabilities are also noteworthy, with reductions of up to 70 to 80 percent reported in industries and organizations that use it.

UiPath has minimized the occurrence of human error as opposed to machines that do not make mistakes.

UiPath has saved our employees a lot of time and our organization a lot of money.

UiPath offers features that are not available in other automation solutions, such as Blue Prism. Unlike Blue Prism, UiPath provides recorded playback, advanced scripting options, high security, and awareness. Additionally, UiPath offers 24/7 support through chat, providing solutions to any problems we may be facing.

The user-friendly interface allows users to visually plan and design various automation processes through it.

The support provided by UiPath could be improved. It would be beneficial to have a more effective forum where users can ask questions and receive precise responses to their concerns.

I have been using UiPath for eight months.

UiPath is stable.

UiPath is scalable.

The technical support can be slow at times but the issues are always resolved.

Positive

I previously used Blue Prism. If we consider a key feature that UiPath has over Blue Prism, it would be cost savings. UiPath has the ability to save up to 30 percent of the organization's costs, while also increasing speed compared to Blue Prism. It can be said that UiPath is much more efficient than Blue Prism, saving a significant amount of time for the user.

I give UiPath a ten out of ten.

UiPath is deployed in the cloud and consists of a server-side and client-side. Developers communicate with UiPath directly through a browser. Additionally, UiPath has agent support that allows the service to search all currently available data on the device before it is moved to SQL Server.

The solution is maintained by UiPath in the cloud but it is slow.

UiPath is an end-to-end automation tool that helps businesses accelerate their processes by providing solutions for automating routine activities. These solutions enable faster and more efficient business exchanges.

UiPath offers a user-friendly automation building process utilizing a drag-and-drop workflow feature for UI automation. Additionally, the platform includes recording capabilities and a playback feature to ensure accuracy. Advanced scraping options are also available for more complex tasks.

We utilize UiPath to automate processes that relate to good causes. Our approach involves creating a playbook task and subsequently automating the process. After that, the IT department assists us in collecting and interpreting data from various applications in the UA portion.

UiPath's automation capability is important because it saves us a lot of time. There are two sides to consider: the client side and the server side. On the client side, the UI allows developers or data users to communicate directly with the system. This can be done using tools such as RobotStudio or data browsers. Essentially, these operations can be seen as back-end tasks. On the server side, tasks and workloads generated by the user are stored in SQL databases.

UiPath has minimized our on-prem footprint.

The UiPath Academy courses are beneficial. 

The AI functionality in UiPath helps us save time by streamlining our workflows within the studios. Additionally, it enhances our automation capabilities, speeds up order processing, and enables us to make better decisions, ultimately reducing the risk of errors.

The automation has saved us between 70 and 80 percent of our processing costs.

UiPath has freed up employee time and increased productivity.

The screen recording feature is valuable.

The data team support that provides the UI and the chat services has room for improvement.

I have been using the solution for six months.

The solution is stable.

UiPath is highly scalable.

The technical support is good.

Positive

Before, I used Blue Prism, but now at my new organization, we use UiPath. Unlike Blue Prism, which only specializes in back-end applications, UiPath works with both front-end and back-end applications.

I give the solution a ten out of ten.

I'm using it for PDF automation.

It helps us save 60 to 70 percent of the time we used to take and provides accurate results. 

It also helps with increasing productivity. Now that work is automated, it has eliminated any manual work within these processes and reduced human error.

It also provides end-to-end automation, which is very important for getting results very quickly and saving time. We can use that saved time for other productive work. 

UiPath also helps us in reducing digital costs.

It provides various services such as PDF automation and AI capabilities that help in creating accurate results. We are using the AI for chatbot integrations and handling customer interactions. It helps eliminate manual work.

The email automations are also very valuable.

It also provides a user-friendly interface so that anyone can use it. 

Sometimes it takes time to provide results.

I have been using UiPath for almost a year.

It's very stable and provides accurate results for our organization.

It's very scalable, as more than 250 users in our organization use this tool, and we have not faced any issues with it.

The customer support is very good and resolves our queries immediately. It has been very good for us.

Positive

This is the first automation tool we have used.

It requires IT support.

It's saving employee time, which helps with ROI, but the cost is higher. But the results it provides are enough for the tool to give us ROI.

It's costly compared to other tools in the market. Other than that, it is very good.

As I noted, sometimes it takes time to get the results, but it depends upon the query or task I'm using it for. Other than this, it's very good and I'm happy with this tool. It works well for me and I would recommend that others use it.

I'm using it for automation.

UiPath saves us a lot of time as well as money. It has saved between 50 and 80 percent of employee time, processing our tasks efficiently. It boosts our productivity and helps to scale up our business.

It has sped up digital transformation in our organization for sure, and also helps to reduce human error, although that depends on the task you are automating.

It's very helpful in terms of everything.

It offers me various benefits such as AI capabilities and works very well for me on all types of processes. It makes our tasks easy and provides accurate results. For example, if we have a web application we can automate the entering of login credentials.

It provides end-to-end automation, which is very important. We can integrate it with third-party tools, like SharePoint or Outlook, and perform various tasks.

The user interface looks modern.

And the user community is great. We use it as a knowledge base and for training purposes.

It sometimes lags when internet connectivity is poor. It depends on the location. Otherwise, it is the most fantastic tool ever.

I have been using UiPath for the last three and a half years.

It's very stable.

It's very scalable. I give it a 10 out of 10 for scalability.

We have 5000-plus users of the solution in our organization.

Customer support is very important and they resolve issues immediately.

Positive

Sometimes we deploy on the cloud, sometimes on-premises. The deployment is very straightforward.

It doesn't require any maintenance. It works well.

We have seen a 50 to 80 percent ROI.

As an application, it is not very expensive. It's very reasonable.

The time it takes to see results depends on the task. Sometimes tasks are bigger and sometimes tasks are smaller. Sometimes it gives your results within a minute, and sometimes it takes time. On average, it takes a few days.

I'm fully satisfied with this great tool. It is the best solution for all types of businesses, both small and large. I recommend it to everyone who wants to become an RPA developer. It is a fantastic tool and plays a vital role in RPA.
