UiPath is a strong brand.

I would like UiPath to work more with our local partners, to provide us with lower prices, localized functionality, and support.

I currently use UiPath once a week. 

I would rate the stability of Uipath eight out of ten. We have had some stability issues with our VMware.

The local UiPath partner we are working with provides very slow responses to our technical issues.

Neutral

UiPath is priced 50 percent higher than our local RPA solutions.

I would rate the pricing of UiPath eight out of ten with ten being the most expensive.

I would rate UiPath seven out of ten.

We have many use cases, but the primary ones are on the finance side for intelligent automation. We use it for system updates and system manipulations.

UiPath has improved our organization in terms of 

• quality
• accuracy
• reduction in headcount
• working around the clock
• consistency.

It is the primary key to our digital transformation. And we have been able to do so without expensive or complex application upgrades or IT application support.

Our accuracy and compliance have improved manyfold. And in terms of employee time, our benchmark is to save three employees per bot, but we have achieved something around 2.1 employees per bot.

We are a consortium with multi-discipline businesses, and we are able to use UiPath automation across all our sectors, but it has mainly helped us with shared services.

UiPath enables us to implement end-to-end automation, and that is something that is important to us.

Of course, we have used the UiPath Academy courses, and that has been very handy and very useful. That is what we have used to significantly build up our capabilities. They are our entire training platform. We brought people who are not IT-savvy, complete laymen who were not in IT at all, into our platform of technology. To do that conversion, the Academy had to be very strong. It was not only the UiPath Academy that helped with their training, it was Microsoft PowerApps as well. The two of them together created this magic.

One functionality we would like to see is OCR.

I have been using UiPath for the last three years.

It's very stable.

It is scalable.

We have not had technical support from UiPath.

It's a very straightforward deployment, but any time we update the deployment, it becomes a bit complex.

We have a few VMs on-premises that we use for Orchestrator and the machines to run the bots, but the queue to run the bots is in the cloud. Most of our applications are on the cloud.

Implementing the first set of activities took us about nine weeks. We engaged a consulting party to identify the platform we should use. While we were doing that, we did opportunity assessments across the organization, to identify the processes that would be most valuable to automate.

UiPath is slightly more expensive than Automation Anywhere, from what I understand. But the pricing comparison is a mix between the two because UiPath attended bots are quite cheap compared to Automation Anywhere. If you bring in UiPath's unattended bots, that's expensive.

We have used Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism, and now UiPath. We had to decide among the three, but ultimately, there was no choice for us because Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism did not respond to some of our systems. This was especially true when doing screen grabs, specifically on the AS400. So it was a no-brainer for us.

I don't see a major problem with UiPath's ease of use, but I'm not a developer, I'm a decision-maker. But honestly, the development life cycle using Automation Anywhere is shorter. With UiPath, the development life cycle is slightly longer, but it is not a major issue.

The most important thing is to follow the best practices from UiPath in building the bot processes. What happens is, when application upgrades happen, if you haven't done it in the right way, your applications will fall apart. You have to make sure that the screen-grabbing methodology and referencing are done according to the best practices of UiPath.

We can't disclose our exact use cases, but we do intelligent automation with UiPath.

It reduces human error and most bots are able to generate 50 to 60 percent savings in terms of employee time. It's definitely helping our organization to save costs. We are able to do work at one-sixth of the cost. Even after adding an FTE for bot support in the back end, UiPath saves us significantly on costs.

The Task Mining is one feature that is very helpful to any business analyst. I do business analysis, and the info that I produce goes to our UiPath team to develop automations. Task Mining is the only part I leverage.

UiPath is pretty flexible and offers security aspects as well. It helps us do intelligent automation, providing multi-language support. It can also integrate with any kind of application, such as Java or legacy-based applications. We can call APIs when needed, and it can be scheduled. We can even manage UiPath licenses for multiple uses.

It has certain built-in Excel features, so if you want to pick data from Excel or crunch data in Excel without using Excel macros, you can use UiPath and take that data to any type of ERP application. In that way, it's quite flexible. It has very good features that help you process data across different technologies and platforms.

The UiPath Academy courses are also very useful. I became certified in UiPath business analysis training, and have also done UiPath technical architect courses. It helps you kick-start your career in UiPath. It's very helpful.

UiPath helps with digital transformation at the outset, but I focus on the amount of runtime support needed for managing bots. If a bot is going to save four to six onshore resources, at least one offshore resource is needed to support it. That is one area where UiPath, Automation Anywhere, and every automation software has to focus. A lot of bots are highly sensitive. Even the slightest change in screen behavior or a small change in the process and, many times, they are not intelligent enough to run on their own. That means there is a high level of dependence on the support team. Automation software providers need to improve on this.

Also, UiPath could bring in a type of low-code or no-code automation so that it can be used by the masses instead of only by technically proficient people to develop solutions. Low-code or no-code automations would be really helpful. 

In addition, for intelligent automation to become really robust, a lot of features need to be added, and the accuracy of the model has to be improved. Right now, if I am going to implement any UiPath or AI solution, in the beginning, it will only be 30 to 40 percent accurate. It doesn't get to 70 to 80 percent.

These are the types of things that need to be improved in UiPath.

I have been using UiPath for between six and seven years.

It is a stable environment. It doesn't encounter any errors on its own, unless there are system or functional exceptions.

It has good scalability. We can even redeploy an existing use case to a new use case. Or when a new migration takes place, we can use UiPath by modifying it and making it work in the new enrollment.

Our support team handles technical support. I haven't contacted them.

The price is reasonable, although Orchestrator is really costly. Not many organizations will be able to afford that, but without Orchestrator, you can't do bot management. It becomes pretty difficult. UiPath has to focus on orchestration pricing. They need to bring in some innovative pricing.

From the business analysis angle, refine your use cases and make sure you are identifying the right ones, before deliberating about any automation platform, whether it is UiPath or not.

We use UiPath for data scraping to extract information. Specifically, as a financial institution, we gather financial information from various websites. UiPath helps us extract the required data from these web pages. Additionally, we have another use case where we track tickets for vehicles here in Guatemala. Furthermore, we utilize UiPath for internal processes, such as generating reports and publishing information on social media.

Building automation with UiPath is made easy by the presence of UiPath Academy. We have access to all the basic and intermediate courses, and the solution is designed to be user-friendly.

UiPath enables us to extract information from various websites and share it on social media, which has had a significant impact on our organization.

UiPath's user community provides excellent value. The community has helped us with many things we were not aware of.

We can enroll our employees and programmers in UiPath Academy. This will help our programmers generate ideas about the tasks they can accomplish using UiPath and share their ideas with others.

UiPath facilitates the enhancement of our digital transformation while simultaneously reducing the cost of digital automation.

UiPath has helped us reduce human errors. In the past, we relied on a person to post on our social media every morning, and there were times when they would forget. With UiPath, we can now post every morning on time with zero errors.

UiPath has helped us save employees' time, allowing them to focus on other projects. Previously, our users had to manually generate 50 to 60 reports from various organizations. However, with UiPath, these reports are now generated automatically, freeing up our users' time to analyze the data instead of spending it on report generation. 

The most valuable feature is the ability to utilize UiPath beyond our scheduled work hours, making it available 24 hours a day.

UiPath can enhance the number of applications with which we can interact. Technology has a significant impact these days, especially in the realm of social media. If UiPath could interact with more popular applications currently available, it would be highly beneficial.

I have been using UiPath for 15 years.

The technical support is excellent and responds quickly.

Positive

We also had to pay for Bloomberg Automation in order to effectively utilize UiPath in our organization.

I would rate UiPath a ten out of ten. With UiPath, we are able to accomplish nearly all the ideas that our partners have generated, except for those involving third parties.

I recommend UiPath, but the only way to truly determine its effectiveness within an organization and its potential for cost savings is to give it a try.

Our primary use case is for RPA. We use it for checking invoices and sending out electronic letters. It is also going to check the absence entered by people when they are sick and see if those fill-outs are correct.

UiPath enables us to implement end-to-end automation. It is very important. It makes us more efficient. It does not require that much labor.

We find UiPath quite good in terms of ease of building automations. It does not require an enormous amount of knowledge. It is quite easy to use, but we need to do some scripting and programming in addition to the software.

We use UiPath's AI functionality in our automation program. It is necessary to interpret PDFs. We only use it in one process so far. It has only been six months, so it hasn't enabled us to automate more processes overall.

UiPath speeds up digital transformation and reduces the cost of digital transformation. This digital transformation does not require expensive or complex application upgrades or IT application support.

UiPath has reduced human error. In the use case for checking the invoices, it helps us to handle an invoice more correctly and send the invoice to the correct person internally so that it does not go in a loop somewhere.

UiPath has freed up employee time. By the end of this year, it would have saved us two whole man-years.

UiPath has saved us costs. In the six months of running it, it has saved us something like one and a half million.

The software does what it is supposed to do. I do not have any specific features that are valuable. We mainly use it for automation. We use the standard application screens. It meets our requirements.

We would like to use several modules of UiPath, but they are very costly. All the additional features that we need are there, but they are in the modules that we have not bought.

Its stability could have been better. 

It was installed around September of last year.

The stability could have been better. We started out with one developer license and then we had another developer license. When both developers are working in the cloud platform, it shuts down. I am not sure if it is solved yet.

I do not know about the scalability yet. I hope it is scalable.

We have not used their technical support. We used the UiPath community for some issues. We were trying to learn how to program, and we were stuck and trying to figure out how to do certain things. We posted a couple of questions to the community. There are always people there who are willing to help and come up with good ideas to solve the problems that you have been stuck with.

We did not use any solution previously.

It is in the cloud. Our cloud provider is Digital Workforce.

The deployment took four months. It was straightforward. There were no issues. The integration between the cloud platform and our internal networks with the firewalls was really smooth.

It does not require any maintenance from our side.

It was Digital Workforce that showed us that this is how we would want to do it. We based everything on their strategy.

With the rate at which we are going with automations, it should take us a year and a half or two years.

UiPath has several modules that we would like to use. They will enhance our installation, but they are very costly. 

We are quite happy with the solution as it is. If I were to go for UiPath again, I would not choose Digital Workforce as a supplier.

I do not have any experience with any other solution, but we have had some glitches, so I would rate UiPath an eight out of ten.

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.

We're using UiPath for healthcare use cases. It is primarily used for automating document-related tasks, such as moving documents around, classifying them, and extracting the information we need. 

UiPath has increased our accuracy to 99.99 percent and expanded our ability to process large volumes of data, making data processing more affordable and improving our profitability. It has helped reduce personnel time and enhanced productivity because we can run the bots 24 hours daily.

We can automatically scan documents and send the information through Twilio. Document scanning is tricky, but we can easily collect the data after finishing the process. The integration is smooth. 

The solution helps us share data between systems, which speeds things up. Previously, we were doing everything manually. Now, we can automate data tasks in Informatics with UiPath. 

UiPath enables us to pull patient information into a single dashboard with the help of a Power BI integration service. Power BI is our dashboard solution, and we integrate it via API. It's much easier to monitor the patients because we can see how many records were successfully processed and prepared. It's secure enough to comply with HIPAA because we can collect patient data and encrypt it. Automated scheduling helps the healthcare staff, particularly the doctors. 

I like the ability to extract emails and other data from scanned documents. The machine learning and AI features are helpful because we're processing tons of documents and warehousing the data. UiPath's Document Understanding makes that much easier. 

Document processing could be improved. It's challenging to build document automations. It would be helpful if UiPath provided some templates and prebuilt models. Citrix automation could be improved. It's static automation, and we cannot fully automate processes involving Citrix. Some elements aren't supported. 

I have used UiPath for around four years.

UiPath is generally stable, but the stability goes down when we do Citrix automation.

UiPath is scalable enough. We are using more than 20 licenses. 

I rate UiPath support 10 out of 10. I'm satisfied. When we raise a ticket, we get a response in a day or two. 

Positive

UiPath Studio is available in community and enterprise versions, but the UI doesn't work correctly in the community edition, so it's difficult to achieve 100 percent automation. I'm not responsible for the licensing, so I don't know how much it costs. 

I rate UiPath 10 out of 10. I recommend UiPath because it's better than other automation tools like Blue Prism. It's easy to use and has a large user community that you can rely on for support.

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.
