UiPath Platform Reviews

I have worked on Adi FlexiCapture, and my reviews are good about it because the automation that I had to end up using is still running fine, the document is in proper format, and it works fine. For Microsoft, I have tried using Form Recognizer for some passport extraction, and at that point in time, the extraction was not good. 

The solution speeds up digital transformation, but the cost is on the higher side.

The biggest benefits I have seen from the UiPath Academy include getting familiarized with whatever products they have, as whenever they release a product, they also release a course in the academy along with it. This helps users get familiarized with the tool and understand the capabilities of that particular solution they are putting forward.

The features I have found most valuable in UiPath are the robots, and now they have started implementing more in the intelligent automation space. This is a good step because the document understanding when it got added with Gentry T AI is working very well. 

However, the Orchestrator setup and the licensing model are aspects I don't like, though their automation cloud is good. 

The solution enables me to implement end-to-end automation, and I always do this, as any automation should be end-to-end. 

The solution has reduced human error. The solution has freed up employee time.

An area where UiPath can be improved is the pricing. The licensing model is confusing.

I have almost seven years of experience working with UiPath now.

UiPath is not that stable. It has many issues sometimes. Sometimes selectors may not work properly, and I think UiPath should also have some models for when other applications apart from replication are supposed to automate it, as the automation trips. There should be some sort of mechanism to override that, and many efficiency issues are still there, which need to be addressed properly.

The scalability of my iPaaS is scalable enough, but the problem is that since the license cost is high and most of our solutions are deployed in Azure VMs, hosting Azure VM is also expensive. The customers are hesitant to invest in more bots or solutions.

I would rate technical support from UiPath around six or seven, as it is average. The importance of end-to-end automation is significant for me, and I always want it to be that way.

Before using UiPath, I was a Dartmouth developer, so it's more of a generic thing.

We are not very happy with how the pricing is, as most of the UiPath products are priced on the higher end compared to the competitors.

My relationship with the vendor is that my current company is a UiPath partner. We are a Diamond partner. We have used the vendors' UiPath Academy courses.

I cannot definitively state if this solution has saved costs for our organization, but most of the solutions are cost-effective as we did some automations for accounting in our old organization, and now most of the accounting staff are just doing monitoring rather than doing things manually.

I am uncertain about where we deployed in the cloud. We are not very happy with how the pricing is, as most of the UiPath products are priced on the higher end compared to the competitors.

Building automations using UiPath is much easier than using Power Automate or any other tools because I have most of my experience with UiPath, and they have tried to fine-tune the automation experience over time. It's much easier compared to other tools.

Minimizing my on-premises footprint is about migration to the cloud, and we are currently not using the on-premise version of UiPath. We have migrated to the cloud, and the migration process itself was very easy because they have a tool called the Cloud Migration Tool. 

It has more capabilities and is much easier for us to maintain when migrated to the cloud because we don't have to update the orchestrator after every release. 

The approximate number of end users in my organization of UiPath are more than twenty to thirty.

To someone evaluating this solution, I would say that it is good and it is a product that is evolving along with the current trend, looking into AI and moving into Accent Tech, so the future is still there. 

On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 6.5.

Currently, my main use cases for UiPath Platform are working on Agentic. Previously I have worked on multiple RPA processes, be it finance, sales, or airport operations. 

My use cases and the department processes I have automated with UiPath Platform Agentic Automation are from the airlines industry, such as seat assignment and refunds for now. 

By leveraging Agentic Automation, I have achieved outcomes such as processing the refund requirements of customers; using the Agentic AI, I can process the documents easily and can just get the narrative that is present in the document to determine if we need to give the refund back or not.

One of the features of UiPath Platform that I appreciate the most is the Orchestration, along with the user-friendly UI where I can develop the code. These features benefit my organization by providing a low-code platform, using which we can easily deploy and develop our processes.

My thoughts on UiPath Platform's user community in terms of the value gained by being a part of it are very good; it's very reachable and has a quick turnaround if I have any queries.

UiPath Platform can be improved by adding more functionalities around security, especially around the Agentic AI. In the next release, I would want to see everything around Agentic included, making it more user-friendly, easier to access things, and allowing multiple tasks to be done on a single screen.

I have been using UiPath Platform for six years.

I assess the stability and reliability of UiPath Platform as very good. I have not experienced any downtime, crashes, or performance issues.

UiPath Platform scales very effectively with the growing needs of my organization, as I work on multiple projects and can easily develop as soon as I get a project; the turnaround time is very low. 

I have expanded usage, and the process has been very smooth; if I see an additional requirement in a process, I can easily develop it, and with multiple functionalities available in UiPath Platform such as Action Center and Human in the Loop, it scales effectively.

I would evaluate customer service and technical support as very good. 

In case of any technical issues, I directly reach out to the SMEs and the TAMs assigned to me, who set up a quick meeting and are happy to resolve issues easily. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate customer service and technical support as a nine; they are very reachable and knowledgeable, providing multiple solutions whenever I reach out.

Positive

Prior to adopting UiPath Platform, I was not using another solution to address similar needs.

There weren't any challenges with the deployment. Frankly, it's very easy. It's direct.

I have seen a return on investment with UiPath Platform. Based on UiPath Platform, I have around 300, 400 bots with us, resulting in a very good ROI of approximately 20 million plus.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing as a UiPath Platform customer is very good; we get a bundle license, and if we have any issues, we can directly reach out to the sales managers to resolve them.

Before selecting UiPath Platform, I tested other products such as Power Platform and Automation Anywhere, but when I considered the UI and ease of use, I chose UiPath Platform. In my evaluation process, the positive aspects included the ease of use, the Orchestration as one of the biggest advantages, the support, the customer support, and the Development Studio, which is very good. The negative aspect was evaluating the license cost based on the ROI to determine if I could achieve it or not.

As a UiPath Platform user, my advice to other organizations considering UiPath Platform is that the platform is excellent; they should focus on comparing with other platforms, the ease of use, the products provided, the accuracy, and their quick turnaround for implementing new updates. 

My teams have not used the vendor's UiPath Academy course. 

I rate UiPath Platform as nine out of ten overall. It has everything you could want in one platform, including Orchestration, development, ease of use, easy connectivity, and the Academy is excellent for learning.

UiPath Platform is evolving into an enterprise-grade platform with different services, so there's no one specific use case. We use it for multiple different use cases, however, with one of our main clients right now, it is more about UI automation, including legacy systems that don't offer any API integration, so that we can consume them as part of the end-to-end workflow.

My favorite features of UiPath Platform include Document Understanding, which is pretty straightforward. We have a lot of scenarios in which extracting data from documents is relevant for the end-to-end automation, and UiPath Platform is doing a really good job with that kind of use case.

I can't disclose the specific document types, however, we have a case management system, and each case's case worker uploads a bunch of documents. We extract data from at least 15 different documents and then update the same case management system with the metadata we extract from the documents. Additionally, we automate filling forms in third-party applications, using data extracted from both the case management and the documents.

The biggest benefit I've seen from UiPath Academy is that it serves as the starting point when we onboard junior developers. We ask them to complete specific courses as part of their training, even if they have some experience with UiPath Platform. It is also valuable for new products, as we upskill the team with the latest courses when UiPath Platform releases new products. However, there is often a delay since UiPath Platform typically releases features before the academy courses, and it would be ideal for them to provide better training earlier. It is a continuous learning experience, with almost all the basics completed by junior talent as part of the training program while senior team members continuously upskill with the latest courses.

UiPath Platform could be improved, especially in terms of documentation. For example, we were early adopters of IXP, and the initial documentation lacked enough information for us to understand the whole product and best practices. Although UiPath Platform started releasing new versions of documentation and courses, there remains a need for better engineering basics and courses on LLMs since they are crucial for understanding the product behind the scenes. The final products for both documentation and the Academy are good, but the release timing can be challenging for early adopters who struggle to understand the products at the beginning.

UiPath Platform scales really from a technical standpoint, however, from a licensing and pricing perspective, scaling becomes challenging. In our case, we have an ELA, which sets restrictions on how many robots we can scale and how many AI units we can consume, making it a less-than-ideal experience regarding pricing when trying to scale.

I've been using the solution for around seven years. 

I would assess the stability and reliability of UiPath Platform as generally really good, with only a few isolated and specific situations of downtime, crashes, or performance issues.

Expanding usage involves finding more automation opportunities. Some automations we've developed have scaled significantly due to the volume that needs processing, and from a technical standpoint, it's essential to make the right technical decisions and design a scalable solution. On the business side, I'm not as familiar, however, negotiations aren't always straightforward, and the complex pricing model makes it an extremely significant pain point for scaling UiPath Platform.

My evaluation of customer service and technical support from UiPath Platform would not have been good until they forced us to pay for additional fees to receive better customer service. After starting to pay, the service becomes acceptable, however, it's not the best. 

I am actively engaged in the insider program for early previews, leaving many comments and trying to interact with the insider portal, and yet we often do not receive quick responses from UiPath Platform, taking one to two weeks for a reply. 

Overall, after paying the additional fee, I can say it is acceptable. That said, before that, the service was really bad. The response time is what made it really bad. 

I would rate my customer service and technical support experience as neutral, with a score of five on a scale of one to ten. After paying the extra fee, I would give customer service and technical support a score of seven, as it improves but remains in the middle.

Positive

Prior to adopting UiPath Platform, I worked with other BPMS platforms such as Bizagi and Bonitasoft. For RPA, we developed our own tool. Using UiPath Platform wasn't my personal decision; it was more of a professional coincidence due to moving to a different company where UiPath Platform was offered to some clients. I got assigned to those clients, so it was ultimately an accident rather than a decision I made.

My experience with the pricing and setup process of UiPath Platform is really bad. As a solution architect, my architectural decisions were initially driven by technical aspects; however, now licensing has become another driver for making decisions. 

I cannot recommend utilizing the best of the product in UiPath Platform, as it would incur high costs for my clients. It's not a good experience at all. For example, I would use Maestro in different use cases, yet justifying ROI with the pricing is impossible, adding overhead costs to a solution I could implement without Maestro. The Agentic-related features also present execution challenges, contributing to a negative experience regarding the license model.

The deployment model for UiPath Platform is cloud-based. For Automation Cloud, we use UiPath cloud. Our robots, which are part of the solution that runs on-premises, operate on on-prem servers and are not in the cloud at all.

My teams have used the vendor's UiPath Academy courses.

I am not deeply involved in tracking the ROI metrics to provide specific numbers. I can say that the automation program has been growing significantly. Recently, it is really hard to stay updated with agents, IXP, and Maestro because it's challenging to find business cases to justify using those tools. This is frustrating since, as a technician, I would to leverage the best of the product and provide the best experience and solution for my clients, however, justifying the high price on the latest features makes that difficult.

Before selecting UiPath Platform, the situation is tricky because we did not consider other options initially, but due to the challenges with pricing now, we are considering Power Automate. Microsoft is offering excellent deals, especially with document processing, and they have their own orchestration style. While it is a different experience, the cost is much more appealing, leading us to contemplate several Microsoft products because of pricing rather than technical superiority. Some might argue that UiPath Platform is a better product, but they may not realize that even if Power Automate and the overall Power Platform are not the best technical options, they deliver good enough solutions at better prices, which could potentially lead us to shift clients from UiPath Platform to Microsoft Power Platform for business reasons.

I use the Agentic AI only for POCs, as we don't have any live implementation in production.

UiPath Platform community and forum are extremely helpful for debugging and sharing best practices. We were very active in the community a long time ago, providing answers and asking questions, but recently we haven't been as active. Perhaps this is because the team is more senior now and we might not need that much interaction, but initially, it was very helpful.

My advice for other organizations considering UiPath Platform is to get the right professional services to help make the right technical decisions from the start. Establishing a good framework and developing reusable libraries and composability while making the right technical decisions initially is crucial for success. So, having the right partner at the beginning is key for success.

I would rate UiPath Platform as a nine out of ten, as I've had a high level of satisfaction.

My main use cases for UiPath Platform are a number of unattended bot processes that do a lot of replacing manual data entry for the underwriting and claims process. 

Besides that, we have a few use cases for generating employee certification letters, along with downloading a number of partner year-end statements, income statements, and things like that. 

As agentic automation is now coming to the forefront, we're definitely looking to move to that case, going from just using AI and also the agentic piece of it as well. We do have a few use cases in mind, however, we are trying to find the right fit, and part of this conference is helping us figure out. 

We are getting ready to use Autopilot as part of Test Manager, Test Suite, since we just moved to the cloud for our Orchestrator, and now we'll be able to utilize Test Manager in the cloud as well, which includes the Autopilot piece we are going to be using. The department processes we will automate with this capability include software testing.

The feature of UiPath Platform that I prefer the most is Studio, as being a developer at heart allows me to see an idea come to fruition and see it working on a daily basis. Some benefits I've realized from using UiPath Platform include the elimination of data entry errors, giving folks time back to remove those mundane tasks, and allowing them to have high value in things they were hired for or find other ways to contribute to a better steward of the dollar within the company.

We have used UiPath Academy courses; they are lengthy to complete, but we have had some people go through the Academy courses to get certified. The biggest value I've gained from using the Academy is that it's just a great resource, not necessarily just taking the classes, but there are also articles and knowledge bases that you can go out to for help getting answers to the things you're looking for.

I am not part of UiPath Community; I am a viewer, not an active contributor. I have definitely realized benefits from the community, as any error I need help on, I put it in there, and somebody else has had it. The beauty of the community is that we're helping build each other up in terms of our skill sets and also running into roadblocks, finding others who can help, even if I don't know that person; the answers are out there.

In my opinion, UiPath Platform could be improved by being more consistent in the presentation of what's coming down the pipeline and when it can be delivered, as well as not changing the names of the products so often. It's confusing when they say, 'Oh, that used to be called this, and now it's that since we've combined it with this.' Ideally, we get more clarity, so that when I talk to a business user, they know what I'm talking about.

I have been using UiPath Platform for the last five years.

My assessment of UiPath Platform's stability and reliability, including its robots, is that typically it's not a UiPath Platform issue; it's more about the business process where the bot may not know what to do if it's not given clear instructions, which could be related to needing new healing agents. 

Overall, from a stability standpoint, UiPath Platform has not given us any issues.

UiPath Platform scales very well with the growing needs of our organization; adoption is our biggest challenge, however, once we do achieve that, it scales well with different systems. The concept of orchestration is a key success factor for us.

I would give UiPath Platform's support a rating of ten out of ten across the board, as they helped with troubleshooting any issues whenever I called them, and thanks to the paid support level we wanted, it's more than paid for itself.

Positive

I have not used a similar solution prior to UiPath Platform; we did not have anything before that.

The deployment is pretty straightforward. Support was with us. We didn't need much of it, however, they were willing to be on the calls with us, especially when we were migrating to the cloud. 

They definitely were a partner that went above and beyond what I would have asked from any other partner. 

In terms of ROI, I would say there have been some dollars saved, although I'd have to look for exact amounts. Especially in eliminating data entry errors rather than emphasizing the dollar return, which is actually hard to quantify, some processes did save around 35 hours over a month, and it continues to grow. 

I wouldn't say we have eliminated errors completely by 100%. We have definitely eliminated about 60 to 75% of the manual data entry errors.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing of UiPath Platform is that I have mainly brokered meetings with leadership versus managing those aspects. My manager helps coordinate that, while I focus on implementing it within the organization.

I have considered other vendors besides UiPath Platform. With our company having a Microsoft enterprise license, Power Automate is a competitor that is a bit more attractive due to being free for users. I think that justifying costs to business users, especially when they see Power Automate as free, is definitely a challenge we face.

It is indeed a challenge when folks come to us with an RPA process; we don't say that UiPath Platform is the only way to go. We assess the use case and note that if it's everything in the Microsoft ecosystem, it makes sense to stay there, so we won't force them to switch to UiPath Platform. However, each renewal comes with the challenge of justifying the decision.

Comparing the two solutions, I find that with UiPath Platform, there's more of a development angle, while Power Automate is very tied to a specific user. With UiPath Platform, you can create a service account, so if someone leaves, I don't have to worry about their email being tied to the process, which is one of our biggest selling points.

My advice to someone considering UiPath Platform is to make sure you get buy-in from leadership, as a lot of people see a hot new tool and pursue it without sustainability. Having top-down leadership support is crucial for longevity, especially when pricing increases or licensing renewals arise. 

I would rate UiPath Platform a nine out of ten, as there are aspects that need improvement, particularly around naming conventions. I don't believe any product can achieve a perfect ten since that implies no room for improvement. I see them moving closer to a nine or ten out of ten.

Using these features of UiPath Platform benefited our organization by helping us troubleshoot an issue where some buttons wouldn't get pressed during one of our workflows, and we were on our fifth or sixth try at a new package. I had the recording software capture the process, and though the file size was gigantic, we were able to see that the window wasn't maximizing to the default 1080p. It would keep it at a 640p size, which was why it was not clicking the button.

For the Orchestrator, I really appreciate the logging function of UiPath Platform. Many teams at my company use offshore developers, so the debugging capabilities, such as the screenshotting and recording features, are particularly helpful.

I have used UiPath Academy courses as I'm fairly new to UiPath Platform. Many of my team members have been using this for years. The biggest benefits from UiPath Academy include learning how to use everything from Orchestrator to Studio. For Orchestrator, I was initially confused by the menus, tenant level, and organization level menus. Getting to know where to navigate within each of these has helped considerably.

UiPath Platform can be improved with better navigation and documentation. When I've introduced someone to the new Studio or Orchestrator, they definitely click different things that are named similarly or the same, and that is probably the most confusing part of the process.

I have been using UiPath Platform for about a year.

I have experienced downtime, crashes, and performance issues with UiPath Platform. Occasionally our on-prem Orchestrator would crash and we would have to contact UiPath support about how to get it running again, usually within one day.

UiPath Platform scales effectively with the growing needs of my organization. We initially started with a handful of bots to test its value, and the demand continues to grow.

I would rate the customer service technical support of UiPath Platform an eight out of ten. 

There is a good amount of technical knowledge to be shared. However, especially concerning licensing, we received very slow support to the point of last-day renewals.

Positive

Prior to adopting UiPath Platform, we were using basic workflows such as the original Microsoft InfoPath, however, they needed significant improvements.

I've had a smooth experience with deploying UiPath Platform so far. Our upgrade to Windows 11 remains to be tested.

I have seen return on investment with UiPath Platform. While exact numbers are under NDA, UiPath Platform has solved many repetitive tasks and has enabled people to focus on improving their skills or advancing the business in other ways.

The pricing, setup cost, and licensing of UiPath Platform are definitely on the more expensive side, and many colleagues have expressed the same opinion. However, considering what UiPath Platform offers, it has been worth the investment so far. We will reassess when our contract needs to be renewed.

Before selecting UiPath Platform, I considered other solutions such as Power Automate and other workflows such as Nintex, however, UiPath Platform's flexibility in executing tasks is what ultimately convinced us. What stood out positively in my evaluation process was how easy it is to administrate. We are very concerned with data security, so having an all-in-one Orchestrator to monitor access to logs and citizen developers makes it much easier than some of the other solutions we considered.

With the focus on AI, the next release of UiPath Platform should include a hand-holding guide to show people what it's capable of. Many developers I've talked to who have never used AI in this context will be uncertain about its capabilities. 

Based on my experience, I rate UiPath Platform seven out of ten.

My main use cases for UiPath Platform are in Business Hyperautomation. We are implementers and also the customers.

Each process is different, so UiPath Platform is the enterprise-level platform which helps automate everything, from simple processes to the most complex ones. 

For my usage, I find Document Understanding, AI Fabric, Agentic AI, and Process Mining as the most useful features. I use Agentic Automation to bring automation to a more autonomous level by leveraging its ability to integrate people, robots, and AI agents to automate processes.

I use Agentic Automation for level one support, understanding all the issues raised by the client and providing responses to them, fixes to them, and prioritizing them better. 

It's very easy to build automations using UiPath Platform. This enterprise-level UiPath Platform has great maturity, has all the functionality there, and has a comprehensive library of courses, which are split into paths. 

If you are a business developer or architect, it's easy to learn and understand how to use the platform. The courses are free. They also have the Copilot, which, now with natural language, can help build automations. The solution enables users to implement end-to-end automation.

More maturity on the Agentic AI part and the Maestro would be beneficial; however, it will come with time.

I have been in IT since 2005 and in UiPath specifics since 2019.

In the last years, the latest releases have been very stable from my perspective.

We are able to automate our mundane tasks and we gain many hours back. UiPath Platform helped reduce the time invested by humans in doing business processes. This time is now involved in scaling other processes, so we scaled the operations, either internally as a direct customer or for our clients. The solution is easy to scale.

In some cases, we couldn't understand why the platform behaves in certain ways, and we had to ask for their support. We either contacted their support directly or created an item, and their support team got back to us. For us, the support was acceptable; sometimes it was challenging since we did not operate in the same time zone, which resulted in delayed responses. However, other than that, everything was fine.

I would rate the support an 8.5 out of ten.

Positive

We are also using Power Platform in parallel.

We have had internal training. We are on the Fast Track partnership with UiPath, so we learned about the platform from the beginning, and then we implemented it and were already accustomed to what's there.

The deployment process is straightforward.

If you have a great infrastructure engineer, that's enough to handle the implementation. However, it also depends on the security levels in each company. If they have access to everything, they are able to implement. If there are restrictions, it might not be allowed. Still, typically one person is enough to deploy.

If we translate those hours into costs, the tool has helped me to save costs for both me and for the customers.

I did consider the price reasonable. Nowadays, with their latest list price, I'm worried about how they are addressing the market. It seems that they are changing how they want to position themselves.

In one POC, we have used Communications Mining features, however, due to the cost, we did not consider it further to move into production. 

On a scale of one to ten, I rate UiPath Platform an eight.

My use case for their products is the regular automation use cases, and I am trying with some Gen AI use cases.

The most valuable functions in UiPath would be that it's easily integrated with multiple applications. The cost is annual. It's not based on transactions for the products.

It has good documentation that we can follow. 

It's also easily built; you can do it with low-code/no-code, making it quite simple to build. Some coding experience is needed, however, if you are good at it, it's a good tool to use.

UiPath provides a scalable solution and well-secured. Since we are on SaaS, we have more flexibility, and because we know the products, we can evangelize about it. It's quite user-friendly, scalable, and secure, so that's good for us.

The solution helps reduce human error.

It saves employee time absolutely. When we automate manual or recurring tasks, employees have free time, so they are looking at picking up other creative tasks instead of doing redundant ones.

For UiPath maintenance, I give it ten out of ten.

We use the Academy for courses. I do use UiPath Academy courses; we study from that, however, learning doesn't stop.

The UiPath user community is fantastic. We get to learn a lot about various solutions, and gain access to a good knowledge base. There's nothing particularly special from an evangelization perspective. The MVPs do have access to product support, and from them, you can get most of the information coming out in the community. The community is quite engaging, and we do get to know each other a lot in terms of solutions.

There is a drawback that the new products getting launched are not well documented, and the information only sits with the product team, not with the support team. That is where they are falling apart.

They should focus on the customer needs as their license cost is currently quite large. Compared to Microsoft, their cost is too much for automation, and their support has not been up to the mark. The customer-centric focus has reduced; they're more towards licensing and getting new sales, new business. They cannot maintain the existing products once delivered.

Regarding additional functionality for UiPath, I believe that additional features will only come into play when you start talking to the customers, accept feedback, and work on it. I haven't experienced that, so honestly, my answer is negative. The product needs a lot of enhancements, and whenever we get a chance, we share feedback with the UiPath insider program.

I have been working with UiPath for almost five, six years now.

I'd rate stability ten out of ten.

In terms of scalability, I rate it ten out of ten.

Technical support is good. They should know more about the technicalities of the product. That can be lacking. 

Positive

I don't use Automation Anywhere anymore. I moved to UiPath. I'm also familiar with Microsoft, which is cheaper.

The initial setup for UiPath was simple.

We have used a UiPath integrator.

In my opinion, if both UiPath and Automation Anywhere solutions are available for me to work with, Automation Anywhere is a history, and UiPath is a modern tool.

We do not yet use the agentic automation device? It is quite nascent. I don't know why people are falling for it. Agentic automation end-to-end still does not exist. It exists with big, big, big, big players like Salesforce. There are certain OpenAI tools which give you end-to-end big automation. What UiPath is giving as of now is agent building and now agentic, which is still in a preview mode. So it's not generally available. 

The solution reads messages in real-time and predicts what could be the type of a message; that is what Comms Mining does.

Comms Mining doesn't prioritize the messages. Its job is to identify the emails, categorize them, and label them as per the training provided by humans. It categorizes unstructured data such as emails with the right type, helping the end user or downstream automation work on it. It can work on IT tickets, emails, chats, and so on.

We don't trust the monitoring capability of Comms Mining; it's not up to the mark. I'd rate it six out of ten. So, we have built our own Power BI dashboard, looking at logs from bots as well as Comms Mining, and we're doing our own analysis and insights. However, their training GUI is quite helpful since it tells you which labels are underperforming and which labels need action if the F1 score has decreased.

The solution enables me to implement end-to-end automation under certain conditions.

If I evaluate UiPath as a total product, I would give it an eight out of ten.

I'm trying to think of some good data points or examples on the spot. One of the things that our company struggles with is that we've bought a lot of different systems that don't integrate with one another. What I've really tried to do since starting to utilize UiPath Platform is find ways to make these imperfect systems work together, whether it be Mike Albert for fleet data, Azuga for safety-related data, or Snowflake for data warehousing. I aim to take all that data, put it into our Snowflake warehouse, and then visualize it in Power BI and other tools, so the sky's the limit, and I know we even use it for Amazon, Walmart, and various other processes.

I love the Studio application and the Orchestrator function of UiPath Platform, being able to put our details all in there. I especially appreciate the integrations with Snowflake and different software, which really make it more useful for us as we're starting to dive into the Agentic AI piece at our company. However, I'm still getting fresh into it.

One of the biggest benefits of the features of UiPath Platform that I can think of is that we've been able to build a process to handle what previously were multiple manual processes where people would go in, review purchase orders, and make changes to them themselves. Now, when we have an order come through and need to make a change, they can submit a change through a ticket, and UiPath Platform will do it all, saving us about an hour of personnel time per head every single day, which has already been a huge change in our organization.

I honestly really benefit from UiPath Platform's user community. I go to forums and similar platforms and always find supportive people who often have had similar problems or issues that I've been able to reach out to, communicate with, and get the path forward for, so it's been nothing but positive, even beyond just UiPath Platform individuals within the company; other users have been very helpful too.

That's a tough question about how UiPath Platform can improve. For me, starting out, it was very helpful that I utilized different other AI platforms to teach me the best way to go about creating a process in the tool, and perhaps it was a lack of my education, however, tools to leverage AI within the platform could continue to educate users as they're building out new processes.

I would emphasize functionality to challenge one's thought process, asking whether one is going about it in the most efficient way, recognizing that there are a million different ways to do a process and questioning if I'm doing it the right way and needing tools to help with that.

To be considered a ten out of ten, UiPath Platform needs to enhance its capabilities, and I would lean into the integration of AI to coach and mentor you through the process. While I have my connections throughout the company, often it's just myself. Having an AI friend who is a UiPath Platform professional that knows what's best would make it easier than having to gather information from various places.

I've been using the solution for about two years; it's very new. 

I would assess the stability and reliability of UiPath Platform as excellent, as everything I've experienced so far has had minimal hiccups, and if there were issues, they have been user error rather than reflecting poorly on UiPath Platform.

I have not experienced any downtime, crashes, or performance issues with UiPath Platform.

UiPath Platform has scaled very with the growing needs of our organization; just in the year that we've had it, we've continued to find new ways to utilize it.

We have expanded usage of UiPath Platform. The gentleman that I was just around passed it on to me, and we've been trying to share it broadly across the rest of our enterprise, and so far, the experience has been very promising. We tested it with a couple of other individuals at some of our parent company's six smaller companies, and it's made it easy for us to share it across them as also, so from that standpoint, it's been very rewarding.

Regarding customer service and technical support, the times that I've had to search for it, I've had no problems whatsoever.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate customer service and technical support as a ten based on my limited interactions. The encounters I have had have all been positive.

Positive

I was using Power Automate to address similar needs prior to adopting UiPath Platform. It definitely wasn't at the scale of what UiPath Platform has been able to do for us.

I've seen a return on investment with UiPath Platform. As I touched on with the PO changes, many more opportunities are found at our parent company, and while our team has a laundry list of things to do, we don't have enough time to do it.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for UiPath Platform would definitely be more directed towards another colleague, as he handled more of it than I did. That said, from my experience, it was nothing but positive.

For myself, I didn't consider many other solutions before selecting UiPath Platform since I used what our company had at its disposal, which was a lot of Microsoft tools such as Power Automate. Those were not nearly as robust as what UiPath Platform brings to the table, and this was my first exposure to an RPA system and Agentic AI.

The factors that led me to consider a change to UiPath Platform included performance; our company needed a system that we could trust.

I don't yet use Agentic AI. Part of the reason why we're attending a conference is to learn more about it.

I haven't yet used the vendor's UiPath Academy courses.

The biggest advice I would give to other organizations considering UiPath Platform is to continue to push outside of the box and not to think within the confines of what you initially look at, as the opportunity to use the software is really everywhere. It's just a matter of having the time to put into it, so my biggest words of encouragement would be to keep trying, keep pursuing it, and avoid a too tunnel-visioned approach.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate UiPath Platform overall as a ten, as coming in with a little bit of experience, it was very easy to pick up, learn, and lean into, which has been very rewarding.
