UiPath Platform Reviews

My main use cases for UiPath Platform are web extraction, automations to automate business procedures in finance and accounting, and sometimes for professional development and business development.

The feature I value most about UiPath Platform is Document Understanding. With Document Understanding, people had to read through documents manually and do a control+F to search for certain keywords, which was very time-consuming. Now, with Document Understanding, a robot can read the document, extract the information automatically, and put it into designated fields. 

The value I gain from UiPath's user community is significant as when I have questions regarding certain error types in the system, I search on Google, and usually the first or second question from the community forum is very helpful.

My teams and I have used the vendor's UiPath Academy courses. The biggest benefits I've seen from UiPath Academy are that whenever there's a new feature coming from UiPath, the academy can shorten the learning curve dramatically. The factor that led me to consider a change was scalability or at least the infrastructure setup that needed to be addressed for our own company.

The biggest challenge for our company, which is a law firm, is that the data is very sensitive, and we do not want to expose our data on the cloud. Therefore, we have our system set up in an on-prem environment, and while we try to utilize new features, with on-prem, we cannot utilize all the new features such as AI Agent or many functions on the cloud. In an ideal world, instead of using the large language model, I would prefer the small language model so we can have our own model, maybe set up on-prem, which would be easier for us.

The additional feature I would want to see included in the next release of UiPath Platform is the self-healing agent. We experience downtime, crashes, or performance issues sometimes. The situation with performance issues is usually caused by not upgrading the system in time, leading us to use an older version, which can result in certain packages not being supported and that affects functionality. The areas I see for improvement include the booming AI Agent capabilities and the need to fix maintenance issues that arise after a project is delivered, as addressing this can truly be a game-changer.

I have been using UiPath Platform for seven years.

Before the self-healing agent, I would rate the reliability of UiPath Platform at around 70%, however, I am looking for maybe 90% reliability after the self-healing agent is implemented.

I would rate how UiPath Platform scales with the growing needs of my organization around a six on a scale from zero to ten.

My evaluation of customer service and technical support is that whenever I submit a ticket, I receive very good support. 

They are timely, professional, and address the problem effectively. On a scale from one to ten, I would rate customer service and technical support a nine. Although I want to give them a ten, a ten indicates no room for improvement, and there's always room to grow.

Positive

Prior to adopting UiPath Platform, I was using Excel macros to address similar needs. Now, we can utilize UiPath Platform to replace that. However, there are still use cases where we might revert to using the macros inside of Excel.

Deploying UiPath, so far, has been very good. 

I have seen a return on investment with UiPath Platform. Every year, we conduct an analysis using our Tableau dashboard to calculate the ROI and other impacts on our existing processes, and we present that to our CFO, and the results look really good.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and license agreement for UiPath Platform is that the pricing is okay; however, I often feel UiPath is trying to sell everything in a bundle, which is not very smart since many companies have different use cases and needs. It may be better if they could sell individual components with individual pricing to boost the market.

I considered different solutions before selecting UiPath Platform, however, it mostly depended on the use case. 

As an RPA developer in UiPath, whenever a project or problem is put in front of me, I think of UiPath Platform as the first option. If it cannot perform certain functions, I may look up .NET code or a combination of UiPath and .NET programming, and sometimes we even turn to Python programming for certain use cases. 

In the evaluation process, what stood out to me positively and negatively while comparing these options is how easy it is to learn. If there's a long learning curve, it may frighten me to continue with this process. The second priority is whether it can resolve the problem without significant maintenance in the future. A big challenge for me is that after I develop a project, it works fine initially, however, if the UI changes, I often have to maintain those processes. I really appreciate the self-healing agent since it can potentially eliminate that issue.

I do not use generative AI at the moment. I am waiting to try it as soon as possible. 

My advice to another organization considering UiPath Platform is that many people initially feel confused as they don't know how to set up their own COE team, however, it's important to have good communication with the supporting team, professional services in UiPath, and their salesperson to gain a comprehensive understanding of how this platform and product can assist their business. 

I would rate UiPath Platform overall a seven out of ten. There are still many areas for improvement.

My main use cases for UiPath Platform include mostly backend tasks for customer service, PO management, and routing of emails.

My favorite features of UiPath Platform are Action Center and Document Understanding, as I'm in Action Center all day. 

The benefits of these features for my organization are significant, especially with tariffs right now, as we're trying to save as much money as we can. So we try to do as much on UiPath Platform as we can. I've only been with my current company for three months, so I'm still trying to learn how they use it to save money. It's definitely not reducing headcount but keeping it where it is, which is the best benefit.

My teams have used the vendor's UiPath Academy courses. The biggest benefit I have seen from using UiPath Academy is that they make the tests and the exams, which we use. It's quite accessible and not overly technical for people who want to get involved.

I gain substantial value from UiPath Platform's user community. It is huge and offers many resources, and we use the forums extensively as they're very helpful.

One improvement I would like to see in UiPath Platform is the ability to connect databases directly to UiPath Platform, as we use SQL a lot, which would be helpful to link our transactions to what we're writing to databases. 

From a Studio standpoint since that's what I work on mostly, the REFramework could use improvement, as it's very hard to customize it outside of what they pre-build it for, so allowing it to be more flexible for us would be great.

I have been using UiPath Platform for eight years.

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

UiPath Platform scales with the growing needs of my organization very effectively. We have expanded usage, and the process is easy to add licenses as we need them, though I don't know that we scaled too much more outside of that.

When I have had to use customer service and technical support, they've been great, and our technical account managers are always very responsive and willing to help. 

They're always quick to respond, and they let us know when they can and can't help, making it easier for us not to constantly have to dig for answers.

Positive

Prior to adopting UiPath Platform, I was using Automation Anywhere. I wasn't heavily involved in considering a change, however, they wanted the regulatory side of it more, and UiPath Platform makes that easier.

I've never worked as an architect, so I don't really do any of the deployments.

I have seen a return on investment with UiPath Platform.

Before selecting UiPath Platform, we considered other solutions such as Power Automate and Automation Anywhere. UiPath Platform has more integration and security approvals for us.

We're trying to use Gen AI. We haven't implemented it yet, and we're still researching.

I would advise other organizations considering UiPath Platform to just jump in because it's easy to learn and get started, as they have free versions if you want to try it and see if you can do POCs with it, which is where we start, so just jump in and don't use Power Automate. 

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

My main use cases for UiPath Platform include document understanding and transactional processing within Oracle, as well as Oracle processing. One of our biggest use cases is automating our customer service back-end operations, which are in multiple homegrown systems, so it allows us to cohesively bring them together.

The features of UiPath Platform that I most prefer are its connectivity into different ERPs and different enterprise systems, as well as the ability for very easy, citizen-led development. These features have benefited our organization from a connectivity perspective, as we leverage the connectivity with Coupa to provide better process data.

From a citizen-led perspective, I see it really enabling our end-users to be able to build on their own without needing the oversight of the full team.

UiPath Platform can be improved by providing more direct connectivity into source systems. Additional features that should be included in the next release include better or more connectivity.

What would make it a full ten out of ten for me is that there is always going to be some room for improvement.

I have been using UiPath Platform for six years.

I have not experienced any downtime, crashes, or performance issues. I would assess the stability and reliability of UiPath Platform as very good. Anytime there have been any issues, it has always been more related to the Orchestrator, so I can just manually initiate it. That is usually an internal issue rather than a system problem.

UiPath Platform scales with the growing needs of my organization very well. I have expanded usage with UiPath Platform, and we have definitely expanded usage with many of our use cases as we have opened new service lines. It required very minimal effort to do that expansion.

I would evaluate customer service and technical support as very high. On a scale of one to ten, with one being the worst and ten being the best, I would rate customer service, technical support, and partners as a nine. 

They are all very proactive at getting back with us. Even though they are external, I can ping them on Slack and I get a response right away, so they really make it very accessible to be in touch.

Positive

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

I have no issues with the deployment. It's all very straightforward, and working with the UiPath team has really enabled us to continue to deploy and proactively address any concerns.

I have seen a return on investment with UiPath Platform. I cannot speak specifics due to confidentiality, however, we have definitely seen a significant reduction in hours on many HR transactions, and additionally, many streamlined processes that are consistently run as opposed to ad hoc.

My experience with pricing, setup costs, and licensing was positive. The team is very transparent and easy to work with.

Power Automate would have been the main alternative I considered before selecting UiPath Platform at the time. What stood out to me in my evaluation process was that the network of partners was really significant when selecting it. I worked with my previous company with UiPath Platform as well, and we always had a very good foundational relationship with the partners, which made it a very easy decision.

We couple it with other technologies, such as Alteryx, to really harness the full end-to-end automation. The advice I would give to other organizations considering UiPath Platform is to select a very good partner, and also, you would definitely want to make sure that you are building out your pipeline aggressively so that you can have targets to hit because some of the things that you plan do not come to fruition and you have to be able to pivot quickly.

On a scale from one to ten, with one being the worst and ten being the best, I would rate UiPath Platform overall as a solid eight.

My main use cases for UiPath Platform involve working in finance and banking, where we have a lot of manual processes relating to documentation. 

Sometimes, we are still getting up to speed. One of the first things we have done is to take rates from the internet and transcribe them into our system, which is something that happens daily. 

We also have some account cleanup tasks, such as using the bots to delete old items hanging out on our systems. Additionally, we are working on some onboarding processes, covering a couple of different areas.

We are still getting up to speed with UiPath Platform, so we're just using basic UiPath Studio and Orchestrator, and as the process owner of the whole thing, I definitely prefer Orchestrator. 

It's difficult to explain to UiPath Platform how RPA helps since we don't have something specific that we're using, however, we are definitely seeing some dramatic time savings on the things we have automated so far.

I just came out of the product meeting, and I can say they are doing a great job as it is. 

I hope we can leverage a lot of the agentic features. We are taking a more cautious approach on AI. 

Making things more user-friendly, particularly for end-users, allowing those people to get involved in the process, would be wonderful, as I saw with Maestro. 

I cannot think of any additional features off the top of my head.

I have been using UiPath Platform for about a year.

We have not yet expanded usage, as we are still trying to establish our initial processes. I would assess the stability and reliability of UiPath Platform as great, as we haven't had any issues with the platform itself. I have not experienced any downtime, crashes, or performance issues with UiPath Platform.

UiPath Platform scales with the growing needs of my organization very well.

I would evaluate customer service and technical support as very good. We have only had one or two support cases so far, and they were handled adequately. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate customer service, technical support, and product as a nine. There is always room for improvement.

Positive

I was not using another solution to address similar needs prior to adopting UiPath Platform. However, I should mention that we do have ExcelQ and we use Power Automate for small cases and one-offs.

The deployment had some challenges, however, I don't know that that is unique. Understanding the infrastructure was a little bit of a challenge. That was also intertwined with our decision to host on-site and, host internally, yet on AWS, which was new for us at the time. 

To this day, we face security challenges. Being in the financial sector, that's a big concern. And, having more concise documentation, specifically to those finance concerns, would be very helpful if that could be put out there somewhere.

So far, we are just about breaking even with UiPath Platform. We have had UiPath Platform for about a year; we are coming up on our renewal. I crunched some numbers a week ago, and we are a little bit under, however, since this is our first year, we understand it might take a bit of time to reach that speed.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing shows that it is definitely a cost, so we are trying to ensure we get good ROI on that. The licensing seems pretty simple, requiring us to purchase only per bot. I understand from my boss that things were a bit more complicated previously, so I appreciate that the licensing is simplified at this time. Of course, I wish we didn't have to pay per developer seat, however, that's how it goes.

In considering other solutions before selecting UiPath Platform, Blue Prism was a top contender, and we also looked into Power Automate, however, it really didn't hold a candle to either of the other two. 

We went with one of the UiPath Platform partners that helped us make that decision. What stood out to me in the evaluation process was our reliance on market share and the company's positioning as a leader. Blue Prism seemed to be having some organizational challenges that may impact their future direction. We liked the forward-thinking approach of UiPath Platform, and the pricing was on par with Blue Prism, making it seem a better choice.

My thoughts on UiPath Platform's user community in terms of the value I gain by being part of it are that it is my first place to go if I have any questions or need some light troubleshooting, so it is very valuable for me. I think our developers also find a lot of value from there, figuring out how to structure certain things.

My advice to other organizations considering UiPath Platform is for larger organizations to take the plunge. For smaller organizations, I would suggest balancing how large of a scale they are interested in and if that justifies the cost. We are right on the cusp, so it can be challenging; we only have about 1,600 employees, which limits our scaling potential. We really need to work to get that ROI. 

On a scale from on eto ten, I would rate UiPath Platform overall as a nine, as it is pretty good.

My main use cases for UiPath Platform involve RPA, as we use it mostly for RPA and to automate data entry, some ETL work, control checks, and data processing.

My use cases for Agentic capabilities include reporting and fund accounting features.

UiPath Platform is good at detecting UIs.

These features have benefited my organization by reducing risk and saving money.

In terms of improvement, UiPath Platform should be easier to license.

I would like the next release of UiPath Platform to include a user interface or dashboard for our operations staff who would be using Maestro processes.

I have been using UiPath Platform for two years.

We have experienced downtime and performance issues with Action Center performance, sending codes from websites, OTP codes when logging into websites, as it would time out on the OTP code and we would have to resend another one.

UiPath Platform scales with the growing needs of my organization.

We have expanded usage of UiPath Platform, and the process was relatively smooth, although the biggest challenge was internal security concerns.

I would evaluate customer service and technical support as medium.

The reason I rate it medium is that sometimes it takes us longer to get answers and, in my experience, some TAMs are stronger than others.

I would rate their technical support a seven based on the inconsistent knowledge within the TAMs.

Positive

Prior to adopting UiPath Platform, I was using Blue Prism.

My experience with deploying UiPath Platform is positive.

I have seen a return on investment with UiPath Platform.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for UiPath Platform is unfavorable because it's too complicated.

There are too many different licenses for UiPath Platform, and it would be easier if it were more simple, and you charged me less.

Before selecting UiPath Platform, we went to market with an RFP for Microsoft and Automation Anywhere, and we're currently a Blue Prism client as well.

I assess Agentic AI's ability to extract data points as unclear because we use generative AI technically, not Agentic AI to extract data points.

My advice to other organizations considering UiPath Platform is to be prepared to spend some time to understand how it's licensed.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate UiPath Platform overall as eight.

I have automated a few basic business workflows. They were simple automations.

In terms of complex workflows, generally, we have some kind of system to interact with over a browser. There are specific sites such as SAP or other HR applications that usually have browser UIs. Browser interactions are the best I have found with RPA solutions. 

We have tested the Document Understanding feature, which seems promising. Although I haven't developed a proper workflow for that use case, it looks useful. The framework seems to help set up the development process without needing extensive programming knowledge. 

We also use UiPath in our Microsoft environment, particularly for core applications such as Excel, Word, and Outlook. Excel activities are very useful, so it has become a core element of our workflows. As a developer, I enjoy using Visual Studio to create custom activities based on specific business workflow requirements.

There are also a few use cases for agentic automation. A core element is processing the source document, whether it's Microsoft Word, PDF, JSON, or XML. It parses the documents, retrieves required data, and pushes the data into a target system, such as a database or Excel table. The automation acts as an automated interface, moving data from a source system to a target system.

UiPath helps speed up digital transformation and ideally reduces associated costs. Though there are instances where the frequency of automation has decreased, impacting overall effectiveness, generally, our automations operate ten to hundreds of times faster than manual processing.

There's a notable reduction in human error. Partners are often surprised that the automated process doesn't make mistakes. While we can't predict all unexpected issues, business-related errors are virtually non-existent once a process is automated.

When considering specific features of UiPath that streamline operations, the management part of UiPath Orchestrator for unattended automation is helpful. The scheduling is very nice, easy, and simple to manage, allowing me to oversee workflows and their schedules effortlessly.

It saves time for the development team. The agentic automation from UiPath is user-friendly. It's definitely one of the stronger points. It's really easy to handle, even for someone who has never heard about RPA. It's generally simple. Once I install the system, I show them how to start and stop the processes, and that's basically all there is to it.

What I appreciate about UiPath is that, compared to the competitors, it has pretty much everything. There are so many out-of-the-box solutions that it's difficult to find a match. I have tried to compare it to free alternatives, and the difference is night and day.

It's simple to develop and use for developers and end-users as well, so I would say that's probably the most important aspect for us. The development time is very fast once a UiPath developer learns the basics of development. It usually takes a few days to automate a business process, which is mind-blowing compared to other options.

There is one major feature I feel is missing from UiPath. When someone starts an automation, there should be some notification window on the screen to provide information about the flow's status and progress. Currently, users can see if the flow is running and some basic information, but there's no core notification window that fully informs users. Incorporating such a feature would greatly enhance user experience.

I faced one issue with UiPath Studio where when automating a workflow takes several hours and the application remains open, it can consume an immense amount of memory, sometimes up to six gigabytes of RAM. Restarting UiPath Studio usually resolves this. I'm uncertain if this is a common issue or specific to my environment.

I usually use the UiPath Community, which is pretty much my primary resource. I occasionally explore the marketplace for specific activities that may already exist. However, I primarily rely on forums. Most of the time when I have a specific question, I find the proper answer there. About 90% of the time, I find relevant forum threads where someone has encountered the same issue or question.

I utilized the UiPath Academy heavily in the first two years, completing most developer-related lessons. It's challenging to keep track of all the lessons nowadays, so in recent times, my learning has shifted more towards forums and YouTube videos rather than strictly relying on the academy.

Neutral

I haven't worked with any RPA product before UiPath. We did explore other options back in 2019 and compared various competitors when we had a project in 2023. However, my development experience has solely been with UiPath.

If our partner requires an on-prem RPA solution, we create a compact UiPath architecture. We have several partners with on-prem orchestrators and associated servers. It's really simple to assemble. I know because it took just a weekend to set up all the servers. If someone prefers cloud solutions, it's even easier since much of the configuration is pre-set. Overall, I would say that it's not difficult to develop an on-prem architecture.

On paper, I believe there are cost savings thanks to UiPath. However, I don't have access to exact conversion numbers. I can see saved time and reduced FTEs, but I can't specify how that translates into actual money. Some workflows don't pay off the license due to infrequency, but overall, I believe it does contribute positively.

I would definitely recommend UiPath, although the major concern is that it's not super cheap. Despite its higher price, I understand the complexity behind it since it's the most comprehensive RPA solution. 

The cost can be a barrier in Hungary, making it difficult for me to persuade others to invest, especially when unattended robots come at a significant price point.

When we were trying to implement UiPath in our environment about four or five years ago, things were totally different than they are today. Many automation solutions didn't exist back then, making it challenging to get familiar with the product and its capabilities initially. Since then, the RPA ecosystem has expanded significantly. Document Understanding wasn't a feature in 2019 or 2020, but now, it is much improved.

We haven't really used the communication mining feature. I've checked it a few times, but we usually handle manual interviews with key users. As for task mining, I used it for documentation purposes when creating workflow documentation. It supports generating document templates, which is very useful for us, but we haven't used it for deeper automated workflow steps.

I would rate UiPath an eight out of ten.

We are using UiPath as an RPA solution, utilizing its capabilities for document extraction, intelligent OCR, and intelligent automation. Once it became available in-house along with the robot environment, we started using it.

UiPath enables us to implement end-to-end automation.

UiPath has freed up employee time because most accounting staff are now monitoring rather than performing tasks manually.

The robots are valuable, and UiPath is becoming stronger in the intelligent automation space, which is a good step forward. Also, Document Understanding integrated with Agentic AI is working well. The automation cloud is also good.

Their community is good. UiPath Academy is also good. You can get familiarized with the products. Whenever they release a product, they also release a course in UiPath Academy. So, you can get familiarized with the product and understand the new capabilities.

I do not like the Orchestrator setup and the licensing model. Its price is higher than others, and the licensing model is quite confusing. 

UiPath should develop models for situations when other applications disrupt automation and provide a mechanism to override that. Efficiency issues are present and should be addressed.

I have used this solution for almost seven years.

The solution is not very stable. Sometimes there are issues, for example, selectors may not work properly. 

The solution is scalable enough, but since the license cost is high and most of our solutions are deployed in Azure VMs, which is expensive, customers are hesitant to invest in more bots or solutions. If the licensing costs were to decrease, more bots could be deployed.

We have 20 to 30 people using UiPath.

Their technical support is average. Their community is good. For almost all the questions, we get answers. Initially, it was very difficult to get support, but nowadays, we do not have to go for support because most things get solved in the community itself.

Neutral

I was a .NET developer before using UiPath, so it was more of a generic transition for me. I have worked with ABBYY FlexiCapture. My experience was good because the automation has been running fine. The document is in proper format. It works fine.

For me, UiPath is much easier to use than Power Automate or any other tool because I have the most experience with UiPath. They tried to fine-tune the automation experience over time, so it is much easier compared to other tools.

The initial setup is straightforward and does not require much effort, just a bit.

We were using the on-premises version of UiPath, but we have now migrated to the cloud. The migration process itself was very easy because they have a cloud migration tool. We started using the cloud. It has more capabilities, and it is much easier for us to maintain. We do not have to update the Orchestrator after every release. So, it is good.

The deployment is done in-house.

Most RPA solutions are cost-effective. For accounting, we automated tasks in our old organization, and now, most accounting staff are monitoring rather than performing tasks manually. They are simply doing validations.

UiPath has reduced human error and saved employee time.

Its cost is a bit on the higher side. We are not very happy with their pricing. Most of the UiPath products are priced higher than competitors.

UiPath is evolving with current trends, particularly in AI, and is now focusing on Agentic AI. The future looks promising for UiPath. 

Overall, I would rate it a seven out of ten. It is a good product.

My main use cases for UiPath Platform are traditional RPA and Document Understanding, primarily focused on invoice processing and similar tasks. We've delved into GenAI since last year. I am from the Automation COE team at OMERS, and we are not restricted to just UiPath Platform; we engage in various automation initiatives. Currently, we work with PowerApps, Power Platform, UiPath Platform, and Alteryx, but we appreciate the ecosystem that UiPath Platform has provided us. The capabilities offered by UiPath Platform feel a one-stop shop for automation solutions, especially after migrating from on-prem to cloud, which grants us access to all the latest offerings.

One of the features I appreciate most about UiPath Platform is the Orchestrator. We switched from on-prem to cloud a couple of years back, and since then, we've been using the Orchestrator. 

I also appreciate UiPath Apps; while more can be done with UiPath Apps, we've been leveraging that and the Document Understanding part of things too. 

The features of UiPath Platform, such as traditional RPA, benefit our organization straightforwardly since we have certain processes that are manual in nature and very descriptive or deterministic. We go about building traditional RPAs for these processes.

Additionally, we leverage UiPath Apps to give users the ability to have an interface to trigger their processes, transitioning from the initial queue-based or time-based triggers to more ad hoc options where users can decide when they want to run their automations.

UiPath Platform can be improved, and there's a lot to package there. 

They need to enhance their CI/CD capabilities; while they have an Automation Ops offering, it's still not up to the mark. Integrations with GitHub are available; however, there's still much more that can be done, and documentation is always an area that can be improved. 

What works with UiPath Platform is the ecosystem; it's a one-stop solution for most of our needs. However, the documentation can be improved. 

Sometimes, I notice that UiPath Platform pushes out a product before it's fully ready for mass consumption, one example being the initial launch of UiPath Apps, which had limited capabilities. 

Early adopters can occasionally face challenges due to such early releases.

I would assess the stability and reliability of UiPath Platform as very stable. We receive notifications if something is down, and the turnaround time is usually quick, so it is pretty reliable. 

I have experienced some downtime, crashes, or performance issues, yet nothing that has impacted us for days. When something is down, UiPath Platform is very prompt in resolving the issue, and I've witnessed downtimes of only a couple of hours in the past, with nothing major beyond that.

UiPath Platform scales very to the growing needs of my organization, and it is very flexible. 

We considered scalability during our decision-making process with UiPath Platform, and I'm satisfied that it is easy to scale according to our needs. We have expanded our usage of UiPath Platform, and the process was quite smooth. 

We run our automations on dedicated Azure VMs, and when we needed to increase the number of unattended licenses, it was just a matter of acquiring those licenses and spinning up new VMs for the additional automations.

I would evaluate customer service and technical support from UiPath Platform as good, though there is room for improvement. 

The customer service and technical support have been great, however, a proper support model is needed. We are on the bronze package, and at times we encounter situations that fall beyond our scope, especially when issues are related to integrations with other third-party tools, such as BeyondTrust as our credential manager. 

In such cases, both UiPath Platform and BeyondTrust should collaborate effectively, as issues may arise from their interaction rather than being solely a customer problem.

Positive

Before adopting UiPath Platform, I wasn't using another solution to address similar needs. Since we established the Automation COE within my organization, we debated whether to go the Blue Prism route or UiPath Platform route, ultimately finding that UiPath Platform was a better fit.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for UiPath Platform is pretty seamless. They've revised the pricing model this year, and we are about to renew our contracts this November. Initially, there were many unknowns, however, now everything is in sync and clearer, though I feel the pricing could be better.

We have expanded our usage of UiPath Platform, and the process was quite smooth. We run our automations on dedicated Azure VMs, and when we needed to increase the number of unattended licenses, it was just a matter of acquiring those licenses and spinning up new VMs for the additional automations.

I have absolutely seen a return on investment with UiPath Platform. 

When we talk about ROIs with UiPath Platform, we see that it doesn't necessarily have to be full-time employee savings. Sometimes, it's simply a cost we've saved on paper, but there are also instances where it's very tangible and measurable. We've used UiPath Platform not just for streamlining processes or automating manual tasks, however, we've even built some products—such as silo applications—just to navigate licensing costs for the original application.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for UiPath Platform is pretty seamless.

The factors that led me to consider UiPath Platform revolve primarily around RPA capabilities. UiPath Platform offers the flexibility to have both attended and unattended automations, unlike many competitors at that time. 

The ability to write custom code and DLLs without being restricted to a specific programming language gave us much more flexibility, influencing our decision towards UiPath Platform.

I do not use GenAI yet.

My advice to other organizations considering UiPath Platform is that it offers many new features, and I believe cloud is the way to go. If anyone is considering an on-prem solution, it restricts the offerings you can access. Therefore, transitioning to UiPath Platform should prioritize cloud, as it provides access to all the latest and greatest features available for consumption. 

I would rate UiPath Platform an eight out of ten overall.
