Supports integration with various OCR, cognitive, ML, and IoT related services and tools
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
- Improved the speed of the execution of processes

- Development was easy with UiPath with the numerous inbuilt activities and support for custom activities.
- Issue handling was easy with the help of documentation, community and the official support team.
What is most valuable?
- UiPath supports integration with various OCR, cognitive, ML, and IoT related services and tools.
- UiPath provides the flexibility to use unattended robots without the need for Orchestrator.
What needs improvement?
The UiPath tool doesn't provide an option to resize the activities as per wish, especially "if" the activity is a big box.

Reduced FTE and a significant reduction in errors
What is our primary use case?
We started with UiPath to automate activities that required gathering data from different applications and posting the data to another app.
How has it helped my organization?
Reduced FTE and a significant reduction in errors. Also, the processes can now be scheduled using Orchestrator and can be scheduled 24x7.
What is most valuable?
- Tool has a macro recording feature that can generate the code for you automatically.
- The recent computer vision AI feature. This feature helps recording for remote desktop and citrix environment and enables recording by converting images to textboxes and other window controls. As a result, recording feature for remote environment is now like recording for local environment
What needs improvement?
Improvement in the parsing of PDF files.
For how long have I used the solution?
Trial/evaluations only.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability is a risk with automation tools. Any change in GUI can break the recording. Hoping for more features in the tool to support it
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
With option to buy multiple licenses and use of orchestrator that can run across multiple servers, UIPath seems scalable
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Assistant with 501-1,000 employees
The academy is free and offers a low threshold for getting on the UiPath train
What is our primary use case?
The primary use case is probably the swivel chair operations where data is extracted from one system and used as input in another.
How has it helped my organization?
- Efficiency gains: Tasks can go a lot faster.
- Data quality: A robot is a human error-proof.
- Mood: Employees don't need to do the dull, boring, annoying chores.
What is most valuable?
The academy is free and offers a low threshold for getting on the UiPath train. The community adds to this as someone is always willing to help out or someone else already encountered the same problem and solved it.
What needs improvement?
UiPath doesn't deliver on the promise of 'no programming skills required'. It is possible for smaller tasks, but if you want a companywide robot that is a little bit complex, you need someone with programming skills.
For how long have I used the solution?
One to three years.

Works
Web scrapping for us is the best tool so far
What is our primary use case?
We use it for price quotes on the internet, looking for the best cost benefits for our customers after researching our thefts, creating a table and sending the data by email to the customer.
How has it helped my organization?
With the creation of the project mentioned above, we were able to reduce the cost of our client to acquire materials, besides the agility of being able to do everything very fast.
What is most valuable?
Web scrapping for us is the best tool so far, as well as data scraping. We have obtained many good results, and in the near future with these databases, we have the intention to move towards some possible interaction with big data.
What needs improvement?
Unfortunately, the work with PDFs that contain an image still has very bad recognition and needs to be studied for a way to improve this function which is very important for anyone who works with files of that format.
For how long have I used the solution?
Less than one year.

Works at a tech consulting company with 1-10 employees
The web recorder has been a great help when it comes to automating tasks over the internet
What is our primary use case?
The main request of our clients is the integration with the SAP system and specific tasks of email, like sending and downloading of NFS.
How has it helped my organization?
With the automation of the tasks, we have significantly increased the production of our clients, with robots running 24/7.
What is most valuable?
The web recorder has been a great help when it comes to automating tasks over the internet. The selector is perfect, and it recognizes with mastery all the information that is shown.
What needs improvement?
I think they should give a review on the recognition of text in the PDF files. It can not read a whole file, and that delays the work it has too much.
For how long have I used the solution?
Trial/evaluations only.

With a few clicks, we can automate a great demand for navigations in web systems
What is our primary use case?
Work automating demands of our clients like emails and withdrawal of data from PDFs to database.
How has it helped my organization?
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.
What is most valuable?
The web recorder without a doubt is the best. With a few clicks, we can automate a great demand for navigations in web systems.
What needs improvement?
Data extraction via PDF needs to be reviewed, although working fine with OCR, it still leaves a craving for PDFs with image source.
For how long have I used the solution?
Trial/evaluations only.

The best part is you do not need to check anything manually
What is our primary use case?
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.
How has it helped my 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.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
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.
For how long have I used the solution?
Less than one year.
