UiPath Platform Reviews

We use UiPath for automating tasks for customer operations.

The most valuable aspect is its ease of use. The utilization of AI has resulted in a time-saving of either four or eight hours per week. When analyzing a customer's job workflow, it's done promptly.

There is room for improvement in browser automation, particularly regarding access and success rates. Success and failure recognition are key areas to focus on.

I have been using UiPath for four years.

It is relatively stable, I would rate it seven out of ten, as it should be improved.

I would rate its scalability features six out of ten.

I would rate its support team seven out of ten.

We have experience with NTT-AT WinActor and Blue Prism, but we opted for UiPath because it proved to be more effective and reliable.

The initial setup was easy.

It used to come at a high cost, but now it's more budget-friendly. Considering the features it offers, it's definitely a good value for the money.

Overall, I would rate UiPath eight out of ten.

We had two distinct automation needs. First, we aimed to simplify the process of obtaining weekly updates on new employees. This involved automating navigating a portal, identifying new employees, and distinguishing between contractors and full-time employees and aims to streamline maintaining an accurate and current employee database for your company. 

The second use case focused on case number categorization. We needed to categorize cases originating from sources like SSM, DC Salesforce, and others into different categories, such as origin-related or finance-related, to prioritize and address them based on their urgency and type.

It offers an advanced and in-depth set of features, allowing for intricate and specific automation tasks. It is designed for a more user-friendly and localized experience, catering to individuals who aren't necessarily focused on development. 

The ease of use in both running and developing automation bots is a key factor for us. We also measure customer satisfaction not only in monetary terms but also in terms of the hours saved. For example, if we can save ten thousand hours in a year, it's a substantial achievement because it translates into cost savings for the organization. Ultimately, the hours saved through automation equate to tangible financial benefits.

The concept of process analysis would be helpful. Having a tool that can assess the entire workflow of an automation created by someone would be highly beneficial. This tool could identify areas where enhancements or improvements are feasible, simplifying the process of refining and optimizing automation workflows. In the case of case number categorization, we encountered an issue. While creating the automation, the system was designed to detect and categorize cases into various specified categories.

I have been using UiPath for a year and a half.

The performance of the automation largely depends on the developers and the environment. For unattended automation, ongoing monitoring is necessary, especially when your team is actively making changes to the interface of the platform or system you're automating.

It is highly scalable as it can be deployed to handle large datasets and execute numerous processes concurrently. This scalability enhances its efficiency and productivity, making it a valuable tool.

My company made the decision to opt for UiPath over other vendors approximately five to six years ago. The primary reason for this choice was its superior technology and the seamless integration it offered for running our processes.

The initial setup was straightforward.

It doesn't have many direct competitors that offer a comparable blend of advanced automation features and competitive pricing. What sets them apart is their commitment to continuous improvement and innovation, evident in their advertising and technology enhancements. 

Overall, I would rate UiPath nine out of ten.

We use UiPath to automate the extraction of information from PDF files and populate websites with this data. 

Our primary goal is to save time for our business users, allowing them to focus on more engaging tasks instead of manually clicking and inputting information on various websites.

The incorporation of AI in our automation liberates resources for other tasks. I believe we save approximately thirty minutes per employee each day.

The most valuable aspect is the ease of accomplishing tasks. It's incredibly user-friendly, making it accessible even to non-developers. Whether it's clicking in specific locations or entering data on a website, it simplifies the process significantly.

Updating the tool across multiple virtual machines can be time-consuming and somewhat cumbersome. It would be more convenient if this process could be automated.

Building automation with UiPath is easy. When compared to other automation tools, UiPath offers a more user-friendly development platform.

It enables us to implement end-to-end automation, from the basic extraction of data to the complete uploading of data to the respective applications.

UiPath's User Community is excellent. Whenever I encounter challenges or need information about new developments, version changes, or anything related to UiPath, the community is always there to help. Therefore, I find the community extremely valuable.

UiPath can be a useful tool for anyone. It doesn't require a separate environment or the need for a developer. It is beneficial for anyone dealing with any system. Therefore, I believe it can serve as a regular daily process tool, enabling users to automate various tasks effectively. There are numerous possibilities and applications with UiPath.

In my early days of entering this field of development, I completed the UiPath Academy courses to gain a comprehensive understanding of the interface, the approach we should take, and how to utilize the portal functionalities that UiPath offers.

UiPath has been instrumental in reducing human errors by 99 percent in applications that are maintained correctly, particularly in activities such as typing. There are certain tasks where humans are prone to making mistakes while working with applications, but UiPath ensures that such errors are eliminated. Initially, I had some doubts about UiPath's ability to extract data from PDF files, as the UiPath OCR engine seemed to have limitations. Consequently, we started relying on ABBYY FineReader for this task. However, we are now exploring UiPath's UI for document understanding. As a company, we have already developed around 200 to 300 templates using ABBYY FineReader, making it challenging for us to transition entirely to UiPath document understanding at present. Nevertheless, we are considering the shift because the early versions of UiPath were not very efficient, and we couldn't fully rely on it for data extraction. However, with the recent integration of Google Vision, UiPath has significantly improved and is now providing better results in terms of OCR technology.

The user interface is the most valuable feature of the studio version. It allows us to develop all activities and create custom activities as needed. Additionally, it seamlessly integrates with the latest technologies, such as AI, making it very helpful, even for integrating ABBYY FineReader. Users can extract data from the time scripts, which is also a project involving data extraction from all PDF files.

The UiPath Community does not provide version control for the community edition. Let's say I'm currently using a specific version, and then it automatically upgrades the community version to the latest version without the user having the option to decide whether to update or not. Consequently, we cannot use the older versions in the UiPath community edition.

I encountered some issues with my local machine. I created one of the bots using a different version from the community variation, there were problems with compatibility between different versions in UiPath. While those issues used to exist, currently, it has been a long time since I last modified any of the workflows and migrated between servers and my local machine. I'm not entirely certain at the moment, but previously, there were instances where a particular activity in one version would not work in another version and would result in failure. Additionally, sometimes the select task would not identify the select areas in the actual application, even though it worked on the validators. These scenarios are rare but they do occur.

I have been using UiPath for almost two years.

I would rate the stability of UiPath ten out of ten.

I would rate the scalability of UiPath eight out of ten.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The licensing fee is moderate and is based on the volume of tasks for which we use UiPath. The cost is satisfactory.

I would rate UiPath eight out of ten.

Currently, we are handling approximately 20,000 units of data on a daily basis. Our focus is on efficiently processing this data and integrating it into the scaled servers. We utilize the scale servers for data connectivity, verification, and storage purposes.

We are currently not using the AI functionality, but our company is anticipating a new project. The assignment of this project will happen very soon, and the company is considering the use of AI for it. However, this decision will ultimately depend on the user and the environment. If we determine that using AI functionality is necessary, we will integrate it into the project. At present, we have not encountered any users who explicitly require AI in their business logic. Therefore, we are not utilizing AI at the moment. Nevertheless, if any future clients request it, we will be prepared to integrate AI functionality accordingly.

Our organization has started using automation with UiPath. Before implementing UiPath, everything was done manually.

If the initial development is done correctly, then the maintenance would actually be significantly reduced. As a developer, we need to ensure that the code is always reviewed by developers, and they should always be available for this purpose. If the initial development is not carried out correctly according to the requirements, then imagine the consequences in the future. The development might need to be revisited for up to 15 years, or at least five years. If it is not done that way, the maintenance cost would be very high because the business processes keep changing. Therefore, to keep the system functioning well and the applications up-to-date, as they are not static, we need to continuously maintain the code. For instance, in the past six months, we've had to make two changes to the application we are working on. Many alterations occurred, such as UI element changes, shifting locations, and complete interface and navigation changes. Hence, it's essential for developers to always keep the code protected and up-to-date.

I recommend conducting a proof of concept using UiPath to ensure that the budget and return on investment are sufficient to implement the solution within an organization.
