UiPath Platform Reviews

We use the solution for task automation. 

The automation for building tasks is good. It reduces the manpower needed. It helps us automate large projects. 

It's easy to create automation with the solution. Once we understand the process, we can easily create an automation. 

We use end-to-end automation. It helps us remove the need for manual labor. 

We are satisfied with the user community UiPath offers as well. 

The solution has helped simplify projects and our requirements. 

We've used the Academy courses. Anyone can access it. It's great that anyone can take advantage of it. You don't need to be technical. 

The solution has reduced the cost of digital transformation.

It's helped reduce human error by 100%.

The solution has freed up employee time.

UiPath should improve the document understanding a bit. 

I have been using the solution since 2021.

The solution is stable. 

We have 50+ users using the solution. 

It's scalable. 

Technical support is good. 

I did not use a different solution. 

The deployment was not complex. It's easy. We had to test it a bit manually. Once we were sure we had the right requirements in place, we implemented it. 

It only takes ten minutes to deploy the solution. 

When you change the version of the solution, there is some maintenance required. 

We've used the enterprise version of the solution. 

We're developers. We have customers that use UiPath. 

We can implement the AI functionality, however, we haven't used it yet.

I'd rate the product nine out of ten. 

I'm using the solution for web applications and for integration.

The solution has improved our organization by improving processes, including documentation processes. We're able to increase our capabilities. We can use it to help us with large projects. Over the years, it's helped put less pressure on the server.

The integration services are quite effective. There are so many integration partners available. For example, we can use the solution with Jira.

It is easy to build automations. We use it to automate processes. We can use the product to automate good causes like sustainable production. However, we work more with web processes as opposed to good causes.

We do use it for end-to-end automation. We can ingest documentation, do a development phase and make our application. It's important to have this end-to-end capability. It helps us gain more knowledge and control.

The user community is definitely useful. If you have any issues or need something explained, you can use the community and gain more knowledge. We can share our knowledge as well. It helps clarify. It helps us interact with other humans to gain insights. 

It's helped lower our on-premises footprint. It's important to us to be able to reduce the on-prem footprint. It saves us space. It's helping us future-proof. It helps reduce limitations.

I've used the UiPath Academy courses. We can learn from ourselves, however, it does help. While we don't completely gain knowledge from the Academy, the solution requires users to go through a learning curve. It can show you the basics, and you need to go further by experimenting. I haven't used Academy courses in the last few weeks. It really does help with integrating services and understanding that aspect of the solution, however.

We plan on leveraging AI functionality. We haven't used it yet. 

It is helping with digital transformation. We can leverage architecture and different platforms much more efficiently. There are a lot of tools and upgrade versions that we need to go through right now. As we continue digital transformation, it will help make our processes more convenient and make tools easier to use.

It's reduced human error. However, the way our documentation is created, we won't be able to completely remove human interactions in the documents and can't remove human error completely.

The product has been able to free up employee time. We can build and complete a process very fast. 

We've noted cost savings when using the solution. We've been able to reduce licenses or move to community licensing.

A lot of implementation is done by UiPath, however, there are parts of the studio we've had issues with. We'd like the upgrades to be a bit easier and more flexible.

I've been using the solution for three years. 

The solution is stable. 

We have three people using the solution in our organization. 

The solution is scalable. We have a lot of applications and different scenarios. We can definitely scale as needed. 

If we have a lot of complications we can get support to troubleshoot. They have been helpful overall. 

Positive

We've also used Blue Prism and Power Automate. 

We find UiPath is easier to build on with drag-and-drop functionality.

Implementing the cloud version of the product is easy. Deployment is simple. However, it depends on your environment.

It's helpful to have some knowledge of UiPath. You only need two to three people to maintain the solution. If it's the first time setting it up, it may require more people.   

We do the deployment ourselves. 

I have witnessed an ROI. We've noted cost savings after implementations. 

The pricing can be a bit high. For single attempts at automation, it may be too pricey for a normal person. If you are doing a lot of automation, it's more affordable. 

I'm an end-user.

I'd recommend that users implement the solution. It's important to implement it correctly in the organization, however. The technology is far easier to use than other technologies in terms of reducing manual interventions in processes.

I would rate the solution ten out of ten.

We use it for making end-to-end projects. We are working with a commodity trading company where we have automated almost 150 processes. We have automated daily tasks or repetitive tasks.

It allows us to implement end-to-end automation. It's an ongoing activity where everybody is involved in automating things. Everybody is looking for a cost-effective output. With manual processes, there are chances of errors, but with UiPath, there are no errors.

It's cost-effective. For example, if ten members of a team are working on a given task, with UiPath, that task can be done by one member. It saves costs for our clients, and they can use the freed-up employees for other important tasks. So, it saves time and costs and improves accuracy for our clients.

It helps to minimize the on-premises footprint.

It speeds up digital transformation or reduces the cost of digital transformation. Doing so doesn't require expensive or complex application upgrades or IT application support.

It reduces a lot of human errors. It also frees up employees' time, but there is a drawback. Previously, if a hundred-member team was working on a given task, after automation, you don't need that many people, and they end up losing their jobs. That's applicable to any kind of automation case or any of the automation apps. The time saved with automation varies. It depends on the project.

It's user-friendly. The UI is very user-friendly. It's quick to learn. Anyone can learn this tool.

The Orchestrator feature given in UiPath is very good for monitoring processes. We get alerts for everything on time.

The ReFramework feature available in UiPath is widely used. We have almost 90% of the processes running on ReFramework. Other built-in features are also very good. Exception handling is a very good feature that has been introduced in ReFramework.

The Insights feature that they have recently introduced is also very good. We can create dashboards and configure alerts.

The UiPath community is good. They also provide free-of-cost UiPath Academy where any beginner can learn about UiPath free of cost and get certified. It's a very good service provided by UiPath. I used UiPath Academy when I started with UiPath. The courses are very well prepared and detailed. There are videos, and there is a theoretical part. At the end of every course chapter, you have to take a test, so you get to know how good you are at that part. Each and every point and detail has been covered in the UiPath Academy courses.

I have not used it that much. It has been more than enough for my needs. However, its stability could be better. There are cases where because of the UiPath upgrade, some of the activity features get upgraded, and the processes that we have designed using an older version of UiPath don't run after the upgrade. In such scenarios, we have to downgrade and use only the older version. We have seen issues in that part. It's good to add new features, but that shouldn't impact the existing development of processes that we have done for our end users. We shouldn't have had to design features using the older version. We find it difficult when they remove or change features with the upgrade. We have to reach out to the UiPath community for a solution.

We have been using this solution for 2.5 years.

I'd rate it a seven out of ten in terms of stability.

I'd rate it a nine out of ten in terms of scalability.

They are very quick. They have separate teams. You can email them your query and you get a response within two to three hours. I'd rate them a nine out of ten.

Positive

I've used another tool previously, but we could only automate a limited number of processes with that tool, whereas, with UiPath, we don't have any such limitation. 

I wasn't involved in its setup.

I didn't evaluate other options. I had heard of Automation Anywhere, but more people were using UiPath, so I also chose that.

It's very good. I'd recommend it to everybody. You should use UiPath instead of any other tool.

If somebody wants to learn UiPath, I'd recommend UiPath Academy instead of purchasing a course from any of the other platforms or going to a class.

I'd rate UiPath a ten out of ten.

We use it mostly for the banking and insurance domains. We are a service-based company and the tools we use depend on our clients' requirements.

UiPath provides scalability, quality, and a high level of accuracy. It has definitely reduced human error.

It also helps minimize the on-premises footprint, which is important for our clients' environments.

The most valuable features include

• multi-bot architecture
• UiPath Studio
• Test Manager.

It is easy to build automations with this solution as well. We are able to implement end-to-end automation.

There are also build connectors for Salesforce and SAP. Before the connectors, we could only automate the GUI. Now, it is very easy to integrate on the back end as well.

The UiPath Academy courses are also helpful. When a feature or release comes out, they demonstrate them in the Academy.

And if there are any issues, the UiPath community forum helps us to check whether others are also facing these issues. There are a lot of benefits from that.

For some of the cognitive features we have to learn the integration side. Other than that, everything is fine.

I have been using UiPath for nearly three years.

The LTS version is very stable.

It is also definitely scalable. I would recommend it for any size of company, from small to large. For example, if a small company only needs UiPath Studio, they can have it. They don't need UiPath Orchestrator. They can run things with Studio only. There are a lot of options with UiPath.

Their support is good to have, especially for priority issues. 

One thing that would be helpful is if the support team could quickly help us when we raise a ticket. It takes them at least one or two hours to get back to us. With Automation Anywhere, if there is a Severity 1 issue, their support responds within 15 minutes.

Positive

Setting it up is very easy.

The amount of time it takes depends on the client's security requirements. Some teams have restrictions and documentation on how things should be done. But once everything has been verified, deployment will take one to two hours.

Once it's deployed, it's the validation checks that take some time but it depends upon the project: the supporting files and checking that all the integrations are correctly mapped.

In terms of project deployment, we generally have three people involved. One of them will completely handle monitoring and supporting, as well as the Control Room and any logs or administrative tasks. The other two handle change requests.

As for maintenance, our setup is on-premises and we have an internal team that takes care of situations when the server is down. They will restart it and do patch updates, which they will inform us about.

We are using the Enterprise version. We are exploring using it in the cloud, but some of our banking clients do not accept the cloud because of security issues so we go for on-prem only in those cases.

We are not fully using UiPath's AI functionality but we are doing some PoCs, based on our clients' requirements, to check the feasibility. For that, we are using the Community Edition. As for UiPath speeding up digital transformation, I'm not sure. It depends on the process involved.

Overall, I don't see a need for any additional features. I don't have any difficulty using UiPath.

We use UiPath in the banking industry to help with the loan process. UiPath can check the title and address, and get documents from government and public websites. It can also check UCC scripts and the depth of support before feeding the information into the line of business application for the loan process.

Building automation using UiPath is quite easy.

UiPath enables us to implement end-to-end automation as long as the format is compatible.

Being a part of the UiPath user community is helpful because it provides us with a lot of resources for our internal research. We use the UiPath Academy courses to train our team members when we have new projects or implementations.

UiPath helped us reduce our on-premises footprint. The bots have taken over the repetitive tasks, freeing up our people to focus on other areas.

For some of our digital transformation initiatives, the solution helps reduce costs, but the extent of the savings depends on the licensing costs.

We only require IT application support for some aspects of our digital transformation.

Before UiPath, there was a human error rate of five percent on tasks. With UiPath, the human error rate has been reduced to three percent. UiPath can save people's time anywhere from a few weeks to three months, depending on the complexity of automation.

Document processing is a valuable feature in UiPath. It allows us to process various scanned and PDF documents, extract data from them, and further evaluate the data for business purposes. This could include income tax files that are required for load processing or documents for property inspection reports.

The templates are very useful to us. We reviewed templates for almost 400 similar scenarios where changes are made to two configuration files. These scenarios may be helpful to the customer.

The integration is also good.

UiPath needs to improve its onboarding and operational excellence.

The licensing cost and technical support have room for improvement.

I have been using UiPath for almost five years.

UiPath is stable.

UiPath's scalability depends on how we design the solution. Our clients are medium-sized organizations.

The technical support takes a long time to resolve our tickets. 

Neutral

The initial setup is straightforward. Deployment usually takes a few hours. Configuration can sometimes be challenging because the deployment is across multiple instances of the orchestrator.

We implement UiPath for our clients. Minimal maintenance is only required for complex deployments.

Some of our customers have seen a return on investment within the first eight months, while others have seen it after 15 months.

The UiPath license is expensive.

I give UiPath a nine out of ten.

Based on the complexity of the automation required, I would recommend UiPath.

We primarily use UiPath for science-related automations.

The biggest benefit we get from UiPath is saving time. We work with small and medium-sized businesses that need to perform multiple mundane, repetitive tasks. UiPath reduces the time we spend on these tasks by about 60 to 70 percent. By automating low-level jobs, employees can focus on high-priority tasks. Automation has sped up our invoicing because we can process invoices 24/7. We saved more than $200,000 using UiPath.

UiPath helped us reduce our on-prem footprint. Using bots eliminates human error from most jobs if we develop the correct logic and business exceptions, but we still need humans working upstream. 

Building automations is quite straightforward. They offer free courses for developers, and we take advantage of those. The UiPath community has also had a tremendous impact on our operations.

The artificial intelligence and machine learning features are good, but there is some room for improvement. 

I have used UiPath for more than five years.

UiPath is stable. 

UiPath is scalable. 

I rate UiPath support an eight out of ten.

Positive

I have used several RPA tools, including Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere, and Microsoft Power Automate. UiPath is easier to learn and more user-friendly than other solutions. There are also lots of open-source resources you can use. Power Automate was included with our Office 365 license, so we use it for some things. However, it isn't our primary RPA solution. 

Deploying UiPath is straightforward and only takes a couple of minutes. One person is enough to install it. 

UiPath is quite expensive compared to Power Automate. That's the main difference, and we have to purchase a new license for every feature. 

I rate UiPath a seven out of ten. I would recommend it to others, but I can't give it a higher score because I'm not happy with the licensing model. That's what bothers me the most about UiPath. 

I did a proof of concept for a music industry client. It went well, and the client adopted UiPath. 

UiPath improved lots of features, like sequencing, recording, etc.

I had some issues with the ERP Automation features, and the setup is complex. 

UiPath is stable. 

UiPath projects are highly scalable. There are lots of customization options and ways to easily scale your existing bots. 

I haven't contacted UiPath support because the solution is stable and doesn't require support in most cases. The UiPath community is strong, and you can find answers from multiple places online. 

As a project consultant, I analyze the client's applications and set up everything for them. The initial setup is time-consuming. UiPath involves a longer setup process than other RPA tools.

I rate UiPath a five out of ten for affordability. UiPath costs a bit more than other tools like Blue Prism and Automation Anywhere. 

I rate UiPath a seven out of ten. UiPath offers many customization options. I would recommend it to clients who want to do high-quality processes and complex use cases. You also must consider your budget because the license cost is a little higher than average. 

We use it mostly for our sales and for our clients, with relatively simple, stand-alone robotic solutions. Some are attended and some are unattended. We use it for reporting in our finance and HR departments. 

We have automated processes for our clients that, before, took somebody three days to do, and now they're done in minutes. That says everything. It's extremely useful for saving time and avoiding mistakes. Those are the two main efficiency factors that we have seen with our clients. Repetitive projects, where someone has to copy a lot of data from one place to another and then work with the data, are very prone to mistakes. We can completely eliminate mistakes and save people a lot of time so that they can do more interesting tasks. We have developed programs that reduce human error by 100 percent. There are no errors, once they are automated.

And it absolutely accelerates the process of digital transformation. There is no doubt that it is getting faster and faster. We are thinking about combining RPA solutions from UiPath with ChatGPT or whatever else comes along, to see if we can make them work together. This will be the future.

It enables us to implement end-to-end automation. We have projects where it automates the entire process from one end to the other. Very often we have "human-in-the-loop" within them, because some decisions have to be made, but they are almost end-to-end solutions.

End-to-end automation is extremely important. Usually, when we start with a new client, we start with a smaller process as a type of proof of concept, so that they can see what is possible. Then, we extend it up and down until we have an end-to-end solution. We have seen that it's better to develop a process step-by-step, and not try to do everything at once. But in the end, we have an end-to-end solution.

The UiPath community is used by our developers. They ask questions and receive responses. They are definitely active there.

We have had issues with Ingram Micro. It happened that we ordered licenses and we received something else. It takes a relatively long time, two and sometimes even three weeks, after the order until we receive licenses, and clients are sometimes a little bit impatient. This is something that should be accelerated.

I have been using UiPath for almost four years.

UiPath is a stable solution. One of the reasons we left the Foxtrot solution was that it was unstable. If we had the same process running 10 times, we could get three different results. But with UiPath, we have never had any issues regarding stability.

It's scalable.

We have discussions sometimes with people from UiPath about solutions and things that we have done already. That is working quite well. The support is very good.

We participate quite frequently in UiPath webinars, especially when they are presenting new versions or components or pricing models for the software, so that we keep everybody up to date on the latest developments. They develop things very quickly. It's difficult to keep up with the speed at which they are developing new solutions.

Positive

It is very straightforward to implement. The setting up of a license is something that is done within an hour. It's the development that takes more time. Most of our clients are large, multinational companies.

UiPath itself does not require any maintenance, but solution maintenance is required if something changes for one of our clients.

Everybody is afraid of the licensing fees in the beginning, and because we are in Romania where salaries are still significantly lower than in Western Europe, that means that licensing fees have a bigger impact on costs for the company. But we are also working more and more for companies outside of Romania, where that is less of an issue.

When we come up with an offer in which the licensing fees are getting a little bigger, clients are more reluctant. That is another reason that we prefer to start with something a bit smaller until they get acquainted with the solution and see the advantages.

We looked at other solutions. We started with something called Foxtrot RPA, which didn't work well at all. We also compared UiPath with Automation Anywhere. But UiPath offers a better variety of possibilities, it's more flexible, and it's very easy to program if you are a developer and know other programming languages. UiPath offers StudioX for people who do not have any experience with development, but it's still a little too complicated.

We are not using a lot of the abilities that UiPath offers. We have made some attempts to use Document Understanding and we would very much like to do project mining, but we haven't had a client that is interested in that yet.

I would recommend that you start by implementing a small, standalone process, something that is not part of a big process. Automate that small process first to get used to how it works and see what can be done with RPA in general. And only then start with more complex processes. The latter take more time to develop, and clients don't like to wait.

We use UiPath for replicating manual tasks and PDF automation. 

UiPath saves us a significant amount of time and is recognized as the leader in Robotic Process Automation. It helps us a lot. It makes us much more efficient at dealing with repetitive tasks, reduces costs, and makes automating processes easier compared to other automation solutions.

The solution reduces human error; automating manual cases lowers the risk of error by over 90%, including recurrent mistakes. This keeps our clients happy.  

The product frees up a significant amount of employee time by automating manual tasks and being so user-friendly and time-efficient, meaning we don't have to spend much time using the app. 

I like how easy it is to automate tasks and how time-efficient the product is.

UiPath is very user-friendly, so even employees with no coding experience can use it, which adds value to staff with less experience in coding.

Building automation using UiPath is easy; creating scripts for automated test apps and PDFs isn't difficult.  

The solution enables us to build end-to-end automation, which is important to us, and it's one of the only automation apps that can provide this.   

We use the platform's AI functionality in our automation program, which has significantly contributed to our end-to-end automation. It's cost and time-efficient, and that's what we want from an automation app.   

UiPath speeds up and reduces the cost of digital transformation without requiring expensive or complex application upgrades or IT support. It provides features in a cost-efficient way.  

The interactive selection could be more accurate.

The customer support could be faster. 

We've been using the solution for between three and six months. 

UiPath is a stable app; I give it nine out of ten for stability.

The solution is scalable; I can't see any ways in which there would be a problem or limitation with scalability.

We contacted technical support, and they have solved most of our issues lately. Sometimes we don't get the solution we want and are dissatisfied, but overall, I rate them very highly.

Positive

UiPath is the only automation solution I have used. 

I wasn't involved in the solution's deployment, and apart from keeping the version up to date, it doesn't require any maintenance. 

The solution saves costs for our organization, though I'm not aware of precisely how much.

We didn't evaluate any other options, the company provided UiPath, and we didn't have a choice in the matter. It's an excellent product, and we don't have any problems with it. No solution is perfect, but that's to be expected.

I rate the solution 10 out of 10.

We use UiPath to automate processes that deal with a ''good cause'' we are involved in; specifically, we use it for employee diversity.  

The product's automation helps a lot in achieving the results regarding our ''good cause''; we encounter fewer errors compared to other automation apps.

Being a part of the UiPath user community is valuable.  

I recommend the solution and have recommended it to many of my friends who work in the same domain. 

We have yet to use any UiPath Academy courses, but we plan to in the future.

I use UiPath for PDF automation. About 10 to 15 employees use this tool in our organization.

UiPath saves us time and increases productivity for our organization. The solution is highly accurate and reduces human error. It freed our employees to spend time on other tasks, saving us time and money. UiPath reduced the time employees spend on these tasks by about 40-50 percent. It cut the cost by approximately 30-40 percent.

UiPath is highly user-friendly. Anyone can build automations without any prior knowledge.

Sometimes, UiPath becomes a little laggy when we move from one page to another. 

I have been using UiPath for the last six months.

There is some lag. Otherwise, UiPath works well for us. 

UiPath is highly scalable. 

I rate UiPath support a nine. They respond quickly.

Positive

We've seen a 60-70 percent ROI from UiPath.

The price of UiPath is reasonable.

I rate UiPath a nine out of ten. It automates manual tasks with accurate results. UiPath has been great for us.
