Pictorial workflow representation is in itself a standout feature

What is our primary use case?

UiPath is used as an RPA platform to automate the engineering-based repetitive and rule-based tasks in my company. UiPath has proved itself to be a very user-friendly and easy-to-adapt kind of software which does not require any core knowledge or coding background to start with.

How has it helped my organization?

UiPath has helped us improve our efficiency, and the quality of our deliverables has increased by many folds. It has also helped us to set up an automation environment which helps us in speedy and accurate delivery well before the deadline.

What is most valuable?

Pictorial workflow representation is in itself a standout feature of UiPath. Features like screen scraping, data scrapping, Citrix related automation features, mail sending activities, inbuilt recovery mechanism (REF) are really useful.

What needs improvement?

The features of Citrix related activities could be greatly improvised. The version compatibility or stability issues could be fixed in the coming releases.

If you are looking to automate VDIs, then this solution delivers you a powerful tool to do so

What is our primary use case?

Automation of high volume, repetitive processes. Both desktop and VDI/Citrix environments. We are going to implement it in the WFM team to reduce their workload and let them concentrate on more complex tasks.

How has it helped my organization?

UiPath is a great tool to quickly demonstrate the benefits of automation. It is fast to learn and implement. Therefore, it is easy to gain quick wins in time savings and reduction of human error rates.

What is most valuable?

If you are looking to automate VDIs, then UiPath delivers you a powerful tool to do so. Even better is that they are constantly making progress in that field and have some features coming up in the future that no other solution can deliver.

Also, UiPath gives you free access to their online learning academy which is really great if you are new to RPA and want to have a quick start in that field.

What needs improvement?

There should be some more activities that can replace others where coding is required. You can build a solution without coding knowledge, but I would recommend at least some prior knowledge of the .NET Framework.

For how long have I used the solution?

Trial/evaluations only.

The most valuable feature is the drag-and-drop functionality

What is our primary use case?

I basically use UiPath robotic process automation for everyday processes that can be done without my intervention.

How has it helped my organization?

UiPath robotic process automation helps us save time and effort by doing daily tasks instead of us doing them.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature of UiPath robotic process automation is the drag-and-drop functionality which helps us easily and quickly create the processes we need.

What needs improvement?

They could really improve the advanced training. It is too shallow and makes quick jumps from concepts, and you cannot really learn how to work more advancedly with it.

For how long have I used the solution?

Trial/evaluations only.

It's very easy to set up an automation process

What is our primary use case?

We use UiPath mostly for automating data entry forms and automatically copy-pasting between different apps.

How has it helped my organization?

We reduced a 10 people team to just one person, who just stands by most of the time and monitors the robotization process in action.

What is most valuable?

  • It's very easy to set up an automation process. 
  • The application is very intuitive and user-friendly. 
  • There're also lots of training classes and training material available.

What needs improvement?

Our developers experienced some sluggishness while developing a very large automation. This only happened during automation though; the actual automation was not slow at all while running.

For how long have I used the solution?

One to three years.

Version control like SVN and TFS is available in the latest versions

What is our primary use case?

Using UiPath, we are currently solving tax calculation, mortgage calculation, etc. We have realized that UiPath doesn't actually require you to use code to develop workflows. These can be created by using simple drag-and-drop activities. This is helpful almost everywhere. Their community edition being free helps a lot.

How has it helped my organization?

We have been using UiPath for quite some time now, and I have a lot of positive remarks. UiPath is a tool which can be learned easily by anyone and everyone. UiPath itself provides videos and assessments for you to watch and learn accordingly. These things are available for free and certifications provided are freely available also. This tool will be useful when you need to automate a complex business process, and since UiPath has an immense amount of activities, this is very possible. Regular updates are pushed, and the notes are released as well on the community forum.

What is most valuable?

  • Easy use of activities and flowcharts
  • REFramework for error handling
  • Different types of platforms to create a process are available like flowcharts, sequence, transactional, agent process, and REFramework.
  • Depending on the type of the process, we can choose which of the above-mentioned type we can use.
  • Version control like SVN, TFS is available in the latest versions.

What needs improvement?

  • As compared to other tools in the market, this is a little costly.
  • Sometimes the UiPath Studio hangs while running complex processes.
  • Whatever flows I develop using previous versions, it becomes a little difficult to open the same in latest versions. We need to update all the package which was used earlier.

For how long have I used the solution?

Less than one year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

End-to-end support provided.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Totally impressed.

How are customer service and technical support?

Totally satisfied with the 24/7 support.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Yes, Automation Anywhere. But it was very costly, and support wasn't provided as much as required.

How was the initial setup?

Totally straight and guided setup.

What about the implementation team?

In-house.

What was our ROI?

Process automation with regard to beeline automation and VPN client authentication process automation.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

  • Good tool, it's extremely easy to use since it has just a drag-and-drop functionality.
  • Setup and installation are very easy.
  • Good for beginners since the community version is easily available.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Nope.

What other advice do I have?

  • UiPath is easy to learn. They have the UiPath Academy (online courses) which is easy to follow, and it helps to learn how to use the platform and what an RPA is.
  • There is an official forum too! So if you have any doubt, there will always be someone to help you to solve it.

It was used for the automation of web-based applications in the banking sector. The challenge was to read information in image-based forms.
