UiPath Platform Reviews

Work automating demands of our clients like emails and withdrawal of data from PDFs to database.

UiPath has been a hero to our customers as we have been able to perform data analysis faster and more accurately thanks to the speed of the theft created.

The web recorder without a doubt is the best. With a few clicks, we can automate a great demand for navigations in web systems.

Data extraction via PDF needs to be reviewed, although working fine with OCR, it still leaves a craving for PDFs with image source.

Gone are the days when you have to deploy 100s of people for repeated tasks. We regularly update invoices of different channels and merchants to our workflow. Capturing each invoice requires some human attention. There are chances of using OCR or text-based extraction of invoices. We easily automate each type of invoice extraction to our spreadsheet. This reduces one hour (max 1.5 hr) of 100 employees in our organization.

Majorly replacing all the remote freelancers who were doing the copy-paste work for us to fetch invoices at low pay; they are now set free. We do not hire them, rather our UiPath robot does that, thus reducing the cost.

The best part of UiPath is you do not need to check anything manually. Whatever error comes, the robot automatically gets stopped rather than infiltrating absurd values in the next process.

We have deployed the technology for six months. We are facing a major challenge in front of us. The invoice automation can only be done when the invoices are on the website. Usually, we fetch invoices from partner websites as PDF. Thus we are doing extra work of converting the pdf to RPA readable file. If we had dedicated channel of PDFs then it would have worked but it is not like that. 

To reduce or eliminate routine manual and clerical tasks, and to reduce manufacturing lead time.

Increased labor productivity and reduced manufacturing lead time.

• Citrix automation 
• Computer vision
• Data scraping
• API integration.

Orchestrator should be free of cost. Now the demo orchestrator gives to access to deploy  one or two bots. It should be more. There should be a more graphical log inside it.There should be more click level reporting inside orchestrator

The robots have completed the job in a short time by reducing the personnel load.

The most beautiful feature of UiPath is that it has an easy-to-use interface. I can design a robot even without a software. Drag-and-drop development is very convenient for the user in terms of user experience. Also, other ERP systems, Office applications, API services being able to integrate is also very useful for the developer.

• Drag and drop development is very convenient for the user in terms of user experience.
• It has an easy-to-use interface.
  

• UiPath IDE error messages are not comprehensible.
• Error messages can be detected by messages from the end user's understanding.

• Automatization of the collection process, downloading information from the web to Excel, and processing this information in our core systems
• Policy issuing for standard products
• IT: security accounts maintenance
• Regulatory reports.

• Forced us to understand the process
• Standardized it prior to automation
• It has liberated operative working ours from our collaborators.

• Ease of use
• Lots of activities that cover our needs
• Free and online capacitation
• The possibility to evaluate the product with the community version.

When the process is to be automatized, they sometimes don't have specific samples of using functions and commands from .NET, and then, we need some help from an IT specialist.

We use UiPath to automate multiple flows for our client. We have flows in multiple stadia: development, acceptance, and prod.

UiPath is the first RPA tool I've used, but it seems to me that it is the best of what is currently available on the market. It is very easy to use, and you'll be able to automate your first flow in a matter of.

• Extraction of complete tables from websites automatically extracts data from multiple pages by indicating the 'next page' button. 
• The newly launched Computer Vision functionality also seems very interesting.

The licensing model is for me still a little bit confusing. There are a lot of different license types for the robots, which makes it difficult to comprehend in what case you should use which license type. 

Most error types are very clear, which makes it very easy to debug the flows, but from time to time some general error messages might pop up (Object not set to an instance of an object), without specific reference, which makes it a lot harder to find the error.

To automate day-to-day tasks for the user in the current project, for example, reports, tickets, price quotation and sending and receiving e-mail.

UiPath has saved us several hours of repetitive work, as well as people who are more motivated to seek personal and professional improvements.

• The recording feature
• Data scraping
• Drag and drop
• Browser capabilities.

Processing PDF images with the manual PDF feed does not work very well.

The software is used for automating the process improvement and simplifying workflow as our organization is an insurance-based organization. Also, it is used to create some small repositories which can be used for future use of process improvement.

It has brought some new projects as our clients need automation testing of several systems which could be automated in less time.

As UiPath can be developed in very less coding and is simple to learn, it was useful for a lot of individuals to learn and grow in UI automation.

UI Explorer, universal search feature and UI easy look and feel were found to be most valuable. Also, lots of variables and activity creation was one of the best features of UiPath.

Due to the heavy load of robot creation, the system gets hanged while starting up the robot, as well as the application startup takes a lot of time, and the validation of licence can be bypassed if the user directly starts UiPath from the system.

We use UiPath internally to automate the repetitive processes of our company. We use the tool for the generation of reports and automatic sending of emails, as well as automation of registrations and the likes.

UiPath has made it possible to reduce the time spent on these repetitive tasks because robots can keep working indefinitely, with a very low error rate and a very low maintenance cost compared to the financial return.

Certainly, the integrations with Windows and Google OCR, PDF, Excel, Outlook and SAP are the most valuable within our area of performance.

I believe that a better explanation of ReFramework and license costs would be something to rethink. 

I have performed the following use cases:

• Excel operations: taking data from Excel and using it in the desktop automation (environment: Tally ERP, MS Excel).
• Email automation: sending, analyzing and receiving mails (environment: MS Outlook).
• Security-related: such as getting reputation scores of different IPs and sending a mail for each IP which is found malicious (environment: McAfee ESM, different websites to get a score of the IP, MS Excel to store the score of each IP, MS Outlook to send mails to the concerned person).
• Invoice processing: taking data from a mail and using the OCR tool to extract details of the invoice, inputting the data to a desktop application provided by the client and sending a mail after the successful completion of the task (environment: MS Outlook, Kofax).
• Web-related use case: taking data from Excel and onboarding to a web application (MS Excel, web application).

UiPath has improved my organization in many ways:

• With the addition of UiPath in my organization, the process which has been implemented has sped that process a lot. 
• The process has become error free.
• The process now runs 24x7. 
• There is now no wait time for the processes as there are triggers to start the process. 

There are many features which I like about this tool a lot:

• Data scraping: Structured data can be captured very easily using this activity and stored in a variable.
• Orchestrator: helps to schedule processes with ease.
• Queues: for parallel processing of bots and simplifying complex processes.
• Security features 
• Credential manager to store sensitive data.

OCR is something which could be improved on to some extent as the result is not very accurate.
