CEO at CareerCraftly
Can be integrated with multiple apps like Excel and ChatGPT
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable feature is UiPath's integration with the AI chatbot for automating customer service in our web applications. We directly integrate ChatGPT to talk to the customer because it performs better than our old Python-based chatbot, which was really slow."
- "Task management is complex and difficult for new users. They should simplify the interface for new users. There are lots of flow charts and automation things in task management, so I would suggest streamlining it."
What is our primary use case?
We are a gaming company using UiPath to automate some development-related tasks. We integrate the API keys provided by UiPath into our app to extract user data that helps us improve our apps and games. We also use the UiPath application-building solution for Android or web app development.
How has it helped my organization?
Implementing UiPath has enhanced our workflow while reducing time spent on manual tasks, such as talking to customers or collecting user data manually. It provides a fast way to communicate with our clients and obtain data, saving a ton of time. We can reduce the number of team members because most things are managed by the AI.
The AI functionality has been useful for us. UiPath can be integrated with multiple apps like Excel and ChatGPT, so it provides an efficient solution. The AI ability enables us to automate more tasks, and we get feedback on things we should improve. It was previously a manual task to compile all the change requests from our users, but the AI speeds up the process.
UiPath has reduced the costs of our digital transformation because our project requires a lot of integration with web services. This used to cost us a lot of money because we had to pay for cloud services and domain names, but UiPath's API key allows us to integrate our games and applications directly.
The solution has reduced human error because we've automated some tasks that were formerly performed by team members. The tooling has been standardized, and we update it based on our current projects. The task-mining feature in UiPath enables error-free communication with other users in our application.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature is UiPath's integration with the AI chatbot for automating customer service in our web applications. We directly integrate ChatGPT to talk to the customer because it performs better than our old Python-based chatbot, which was really slow. ChatGPT has lots of parameters, so we can communicate efficiently with our clients. It's easy to build automations in UiPath using the no-code drag-and-drop interface.
What needs improvement?
Task management is complex and difficult for new users. They should simplify the interface for new users. There are lots of flow charts and automation things in task management, so I would suggest streamlining it.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used UiPath for four months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
UiPath has been stable in the past four or five months that I've been using it.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I consider UiPath highly scalable. They're constantly adding features, and it's always great to see a solution that stays up to date.
How are customer service and support?
I rate UiPath support eight out of 10. We contacted them a few times because we discovered some bugs while implementing our web applications. Their support team was helpful and fast.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We previously used TXT. Me for our chatbot use cases, but now we use ChatGPT integrated with UiPath.
How was the initial setup?
UiPath's initial setup is straightforward and can be completed with a few clicks. Anyone can do it. We did it all in-house. It is easy to deploy everything in the UiPath solution. It only required two teammates to deploy. The UiPath solution doesn't require any kind of maintenance on our side, but we need to update our bots and apps when new features come out.
What was our ROI?
UiPath has enabled us to reduce the size of our team, saving us some money. The integration is easy. We are also seeing more positive reviews from our users, and our web application is running faster.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
UiPath is a little expensive compared to other solutions I've seen on the market, but you can try it for free for 60 days. It may be too pricey for startups and small businesses, but it will ultimately save your company money, so it's a worthwhile investment.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We looked around but couldn't find a competing product that offers so many features in one app.
What other advice do I have?
I rate UiPath nine out of 10. The solution provides a lot of value by offering features that competing solutions don't have. It has the latest features like ChatGPT integration and broad app support.
The UI path is somewhat complex, so you should watch their videos. Their own website has tutorial videos that can teach you about the features. There are short videos and also webinars you can attend that explain the latest features to new users.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Senior Sales Manager at a manufacturing company with 501-1,000 employees
Frees up staff that has been doing manual, repetitive tasks to do something more valuable
Pros and Cons
- "UiPath Studio has all kinds of tools and it's practical to navigate around the application. Implementing any project can be done very quickly using UiPath."
- "There can be technical issues, but it's rarely about a server quitting. They are more like connectivity, platform, and software version issues, but there are no issues with UiPath performance."
What is our primary use case?
We are a distributor and most of our customers were manufacturing and financial companies, so the use cases fell into categories like financial, accounting, and procurement departments. We used it to improve business processes.
How has it helped my organization?
With UiPath, my clients were able to free their employees and staff for other types of work. They saw value in that. Staff didn't have to get up at 6 AM or work around the clock in front of a monitor all day. It freed up staff that had been doing menial, manual, repetitive tasks to do something more valuable.
In some cases, it reduced the time it took to get a task done from hours to a couple of minutes. Workflows that would take up to four or five hours were reduced to taking 10 to 15 minutes.
It also definitely reduced the amount of human error to almost zero.
What is most valuable?
UiPath Studio has all kinds of tools and it's practical to navigate around the application. Implementing any project can be done very quickly using UiPath. Also, the robot capacity is phenomenal. They work as long and as much as you need them to and provide optimal performance.
Building automation with UiPath is easy and takes a small amount of time. It's really intuitive and doesn't require advanced development or any technical skills. It's easy for anyone to pick up and understand. Any lower-skill employee or developer can learn to use it quickly.
We would usually do a pilot project with a company and, afterward, transfer all the knowledge and capabilities to them so that they were able to develop things themselves. Especially with the UiPath Academy, which provides online courses, and the UiPath forums, everyone could learn how to use it. My clients had no problem picking it up after our first pilot project. The advanced developer courses help a new developer quickly learn how to use it.
What needs improvement?
There can be technical issues, but it's rarely about a server quitting. They are more like connectivity, platform, and software version issues, but there are no issues with UiPath performance.
I would also like to see UiPath assist clients in scaling up their usage of the application because most of our clients had trouble expanding their usage into other departments. It was hard for them to calculate the exact value they were getting. Some of our clients were flying blind.
Some of our clients hadn't really seen enormous impact from implementing and using automation yet. They had just started, and they saw the value in it, but it was hard for them to expand or add more value to automations with UiPath.
For how long have I used the solution?
I worked with UiPath from 2019 to 2022.
How are customer service and support?
It can take their technical support some time to respond. And sometimes, the assigned staff doesn't have the right knowledge, but that doesn't happen often.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward. Our clients did ask for tips and tricks, but they didn't need a full consultation. They managed it themselves. It's really intuitive.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
UiPath pricing is high and sometimes it's quite complicated as well, because there are loads of components and loads of product portfolios. It works, but it could be better. The pricing could be more attractive.
What other advice do I have?
UiPath definitely speeds up digital transformation but whether it reduces the costs of doing so depends on a number of factors.
Over the years, UiPath has done a pretty good job of continuously improving its product by adding robot capacities and changing versions. In terms of features, they have everything covered, with AI features, data mining, process mining, and all that was done quite ahead of everybody else.
I would say that UiPath, as a company, was better in the past. Nowadays, I have less confidence in the company's situation, not that I don't think it's stable. And their ability to improve is a 10 out of 10.
My advice is to study your use cases and go to the UiPath Academy. You'll find everything you're looking for and there is a big community. UiPath is easy to use, but you have to understand your work processes thoroughly and not just depend on the application to help you.

Architect in Consulting Enterprise at Wevioo
Low-code solution provides scraping for data extraction, and Document Understanding for scanned documents
Pros and Cons
- "The scraping for data extraction is very important. There is also a connection with all Microsoft tools, like Outlook, Excel, Word, et cetera. And OCR, the Document Understanding feature, is important because we have clients that ask us to read data from scanned documents."
- "We have the new license, the Flex Plan with Automation Suite, but we don't have practical examples and we have found it a little bit difficult when dealing with it. We could use more specifications about it and practical examples."
What is our primary use case?
I create robots for clients of our company. We have an insurance client that asked us to help with sending letters by email and extracting documents related to insurance, between their insurance agencies.
We also do e-signatures using an API with a server to get digital signatures for all the customers of a bank. And with other banks, we have worked on onboarding clients. We have all the information about them and we do subscriptions for them.
We also have a lot of clients that ask for filters and updates in Excel files.
How has it helped my organization?
Employees who were doing the same tasks every day are happy to have time to do innovative things and stop doing tasks that a robot can do. They feel free from those unwanted tasks. These kinds of tasks are often boring, and employees can make mistakes. They spend a lot of time doing them without any benefit, because it's something they do every day. There is no innovation when they have to do those tasks. The most important part is that we can help employees in these situations.
The benefits include managing employees' time. A robot can work at night or even on the weekend, whenever you schedule it to run. It's helpful because employees can let it do their jobs when they are at home. There are also fewer errors because when you give a robot a formula, it does all the iterations in the same way. Even if there is a special situation or an exception, the robot can help itself get through it. So it helps with an employee's time and efficiency, and they are happy about that.
There are two kinds of robots that we deliver. One type of robot works independently, giving our client's employees time while the robot does its work. And there are other robots that do work but need a human to verify things. But even that type of robot reduces the work, leaving only the validation.
And when we start discussing RPA with a client, we can see the difference in the costs. We ask them how much they spend on a task or how much time it takes, because even hours have a cost. We then give them the difference. If a robot does that task, it will spend X amount of time on it and you will save this much money. It depends on the project, but sometimes we save them 30 or 40 percent of their time or even more.
What is most valuable?
The scraping for data extraction is very important. There is also a connection with all Microsoft tools, like Outlook, Excel, Word, et cetera. And OCR, the Document Understanding feature, is important because we have clients that ask us to read data from scanned documents.
UiPath Orchestrator is also important to help us schedule our bots.
In addition, UiPath is a low-code solution, which is very useful and helpful. Given the features and solutions it offers, it's quite easy. The ease is a seven out of 10, or even more. The challenge for us is connected to the demands of the client. Sometimes we work with banks, sometimes with insurance companies, and the challenge is to know what they really require before we start developing. We need to know the exceptions that we might face. But the development part is quite easy thanks to the UiPath Academy and the forum. It's not that hard.
We can even teach our clients a little bit about the use of the UiPath. It's easy and doesn't require an IT engineer. They get excited to use it.
I started my use of UiPath with the UiPath Academy and I'm still learning there because there are updates and new features to learn about. The Academy is very helpful with its videos and explanations, and with the questions at the end of the lessons. I like that it allows me to learn on my own time. It's very constructive because things are explained well and I like that I don't have to be at a school to learn it.
Also, the UiPath community is very good. Anytime I have a problem, or something blocks me, I post a question on the forum and people spend a lot of time helping me. Even if the first solution doesn't work, they come up with another one. When I started working with UiPath, there were only a few people who knew the platform and I had to wait days and days to get an answer, and sometimes I wouldn't get one. But over time, I feel the difference because there are more people in the community and they are more responsive and very helpful.
What needs improvement?
We have the new license, the Flex Plan with Automation Suite, but we don't have practical examples and we have found it a little bit difficult when dealing with it. We could use more specifications about it and practical examples. Sometimes clients ask us questions, but, even on the UiPath forums, we don't have answers. We have to spend a lot of time trying to find them. Practical responses about installations and the differences between the kinds of installations would be helpful.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with UiPath for almost three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's very stable. I haven't faced a problem with UiPath Studio. I would give it a 10 out of 10 for stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It's scalable. I would rate it a nine out of 10 on this aspect.
How are customer service and support?
I have needed their help too many times but they have been so helpful. They respond with emails, and sometimes I even talk with them on Google Meet. They are responsive.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
We have worked with UiPath on-premises, on Azure, and on a private cloud. That's where we use it the most. An on-premises setup is easy to do, and on a private cloud, it's not complicated. But with the Automation Suite, it is complicated and we asked UiPath to help us.
When we deploy it for our customers, we ask them to prepare the production environment for us so that it is already ready. For deployment, we have an architecture and an infrastructure engineer. Sometimes we need the infrastructure engineer if something is complicated about the infrastructure. We work with the IT department of the client and our infrastructure engineer.
For unassisted robots, we take the robot from the development machine or the test machine to the deployment machine. For clients using Orchestrator, we create the robot, the job, and we execute the robots from Orchestrator.
Maintaining UiPath is not difficult. One engineer can handle it, for now.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I did some research on Power Automate, but I haven't worked with it. I only saw the interface and some examples. We are planning to learn more about Power Automate and the differences between it and UiPath, but for now, we are only working with you UiPath.
What other advice do I have?
My advice is to use the UiPath Academy and do some practical exercises. And when working with your client, ask all the questions that you have, including exceptions and real cases. Technically, everything is good. Just attend the Academy and use the forums and everything will be okay.

Head of RPA Team at Olam International
Bridges the gap between multiple systems, does good web-scraping, and improves accuracy
Pros and Cons
- "It's easy to build automation with UiPath. It's very stable in terms of having controls captured and putting some environment. It's a very stable environment for automation."
- "Its price is high compared to many other tools. When we go for any additional capability, everything comes at additional pricing. As a package, they can provide something that helps with scalability in terms of bot addition."
What is our primary use case?
We automate transactional processes such as sales order creation and PO creation for UiPath automation.
How has it helped my organization?
UiPath enables us to implement end-to-end automation. It's a very good tool. It helps us to automate from input processing to output, which is very important for us.
We have been doing automation for the last four or five years, and we were able to achieve efficiency. We were able to reduce our workload and improve employee morale. We were able to eliminate human error, and we were able to improve process efficiency. From the payback standpoint, it took eight to twelve months. That's also because, after the implementation, we take about a month or so to make the solution more stable.
It hasn't helped to reduce our on-premises footprint because we are still doing most of the automation from the on-premises solution. We still rely upon certain ERPs, but it bridges the gap between multiple systems. It plays a huge role in terms of bridging the gap between applications.
It has reduced the challenges that we faced with digital transformation. We were able to achieve a lot through UiPath.
It has definitely reduced human error. We are able to get more mature processes.
It has freed up employees' time.
What is most valuable?
We mostly run things on ERP, so predominantly, the SAP model is used. Some of the features, such as web-scraping, are also very good in UiPath.
It's easy to build automation with UiPath. It's very stable in terms of having controls captured and putting some environment. It's a very stable environment for automation.
What needs improvement?
Its price is high compared to many other tools. When we go for any additional capability, everything comes at additional pricing. As a package, they can provide something that helps with scalability in terms of bot addition.
For how long have I used the solution?
We've been using UiPath for the last four to five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It's scalable. We plan to increase its usage in the future. We have a centralized CCOE for the management of licenses and monitoring, and we have around four developers.
From the licensing standpoint, we are still at a very early stage. We have only 40 to 50 bots. We are increasing the number of bots every year, and we will go for additional licenses every year.
How are customer service and support?
We are a part of UiPath's community, but we also used their support for understanding some of the features. I'd rate them an eight out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We still have Automation Anywhere. From the capability standpoint, both tools are equally competitive. However, when we go for a thin client application, UiPath is better than Automation Anywhere. Whenever we access an application outside the environment, there is a feature in UiPath called Citrix plugin to be able to capture controls. We see that feature as an advantage.
UiPath has all the features that Automation Anywhere has. There's nothing that Automation Anywhere has but it's not there in UiPath.
We took two tools as our adoption strategy, so we have Automation Anywhere as well as UiPath. We tried these two tools against some of the functions with various levels of complexity. We did a mapping of certain functions with Automation Anywhere, and we had certain functions with UiPath. We picked up a few processes, mostly the low-hanging fruit, and we were able to quickly implement those processes for process automation. It gave us a lot of confidence.
How was the initial setup?
We started with a very old version. Five years ago, the version was different. We didn't face many challenges. Now, we are doing the migration year by year. It isn't a challenge.
What about the implementation team?
Initially, we took some support from the professional services team, but we did everything in-house.
Generally, we have two people for each tool. In total, we have four people. They are senior developers.
What was our ROI?
We have seen an ROI. We are able to get an ROI through better processes. Apart from the infra cost, we have saved around 200K.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price of both UiPath and Automation Anywhere is high.
The basic package is included in the price, but in case you require any professional or golden package, you have to pay a higher price.
What other advice do I have?
I'm currently not using UiPath Academy, but we have different roles, and people who join our team use UiPath Academy. For example, business analysts who join our team use UiPath Academy to understand all the tool capabilities.
Overall, I'd rate UiPath a nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

RPA Specialist at Expleogroup
Helps minimize on-premises footprint, which is important for our clients' environments
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable features include multi-bot architecture, UiPath Studio, and Test Manager."
- "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."
What is our primary use case?
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.
How has it helped my organization?
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.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
For some of the cognitive features we have to learn the integration side. Other than that, everything is fine.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using UiPath for nearly three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The LTS version is very stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
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.
How are customer service and support?
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.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
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.
What other advice do I have?
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.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Head of Intelligent automation at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Enables us to implement end-to-end automation and has very useful templates
Pros and Cons
- "Document processing is a valuable feature in UiPath."
- "UiPath needs to improve its onboarding and operational excellence."
What is our primary use case?
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.
How has it helped my organization?
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.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
UiPath needs to improve its onboarding and operational excellence.
The licensing cost and technical support have room for improvement.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using UiPath for almost five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
UiPath is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
UiPath's scalability depends on how we design the solution. Our clients are medium-sized organizations.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support takes a long time to resolve our tickets.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
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.
What about the implementation team?
We implement UiPath for our clients. Minimal maintenance is only required for complex deployments.
What was our ROI?
Some of our customers have seen a return on investment within the first eight months, while others have seen it after 15 months.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The UiPath license is expensive.
What other advice do I have?
I give UiPath a nine out of ten.
Based on the complexity of the automation required, I would recommend UiPath.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Architect at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees
It saves us time and helped us reduce our on-prem footprint, but it could be a little cheaper
Pros and Cons
- "They offer free courses for developers, and we take advantage of those. The UiPath community has also had a tremendous impact on our operations."
- "UiPath is quite expensive compared to Power Automate. That's the main difference, and we have to purchase a new license for every feature."
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use UiPath for science-related automations.
How has it helped my organization?
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.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
The artificial intelligence and machine learning features are good, but there is some room for improvement.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used UiPath for more than five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
UiPath is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
UiPath is scalable.
How are customer service and support?
I rate UiPath support an eight out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
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.
How was the initial setup?
Deploying UiPath is straightforward and only takes a couple of minutes. One person is enough to install it.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
UiPath is quite expensive compared to Power Automate. That's the main difference, and we have to purchase a new license for every feature.
What other advice do I have?
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.

It's highly scalable and customizable, but the setup is complex and it costs more than competing tools
Pros and Cons
- "UiPath improved lots of features, like sequencing, recording, etc."
- "I had some issues with the ERP Automation features, and the setup is complex."
What is our primary use case?
I did a proof of concept for a music industry client. It went well, and the client adopted UiPath.
What is most valuable?
UiPath improved lots of features, like sequencing, recording, etc.
What needs improvement?
I had some issues with the ERP Automation features, and the setup is complex.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
UiPath is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
UiPath projects are highly scalable. There are lots of customization options and ways to easily scale your existing bots.
How are customer service and support?
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.
How was the initial setup?
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.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I rate UiPath a five out of ten for affordability. UiPath costs a bit more than other tools like Blue Prism and Automation Anywhere.
What other advice do I have?
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.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Processes that took our clients three days are now done in minutes
Pros and Cons
- "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."
- "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."
What is our primary use case?
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.
How has it helped my organization?
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.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using UiPath for almost four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
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.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It's scalable.
How are customer service and support?
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.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
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.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
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.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
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.
What other advice do I have?
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.
