UiPath Platform Reviews

We use the tool to create bots, which access the mailbox. Given a certain type of e-mail will make the treatment the same, from access to the internal system, making inventory movement, as well as informing teams of availability of material, need of purchases of the same, alert any problem and carry out price quotations on the internet using the data scrap.

We have been able to optimize process time and reduce costs with the bots since they work 24/7 and with a near-zero error rate. In addition, we have all the support of the community that is very present, always helping in doubts, as well as training that we carried out in our own platform that enabled us to grow bigger and faster.

Integration with PDF reading OCR, Excel/CSV, SAP, Outlook/Gmail, as they are primary functions in the day-to-day operations of a company.

• Improve the documentation about the tool, since some frameworks adopted by the company/community are difficult to use. 
• ReFramework, which is the main framework adopted by UiPath to improve the use of the tool is explained in the advanced course of the academy in a very confusing way.
  

We have tried other tools previously like Actiona and AA, but because of their limitations, recognition speed/intelligence, we migrated to UiPath because we saw clearly that the tool best suits the demands we had received.

I did not participate in the tool acquisition process.

As mentioned earlier, we used AA and Actiona, but UiPath was by far the best option.

If your company is looking for a fast, intelligent tool that has an active community to help you, UiPath is the best option.

Automating the repetitive rule-driven and data-driven process, a process which can be run continuously without manual input has been automated using UiPath.

In terms of ROI, FTE, and accuracy, UiPath has changed a lot in the organization. Processor count has been replaced with just one bot, and the accuracy is at a bit better position as there is no human error at all.

UiPath framework is the best feature which I have found, and you need to be a pro in programming to use UiPath. UI Explorer and other data capturing techniques like OCR(Microsoft/Google) are amazing.

It is not limited to any particular job areas; it can be implemented where the same repetitive rule-driven or data-driven jobs are going without any human intervention or human intelligence. 

I am automating a validation of work items between BP open and SAP. Avoiding too much manual labor on the part of the user, freeing the time gained for more analytical and less repetitive work, all developed on Windows 10.

The tool has provided a safe and trustworthy way to develop robotic process automation, with a great increase in productivity and reduction of rework.

• The ease of learning, in addition to the great contents of the UiPath academy
• Speed to start producing results
• Extra friendly interface
• Excellent Orchestrator for managing robots and logs.

I miss a functionality similar to the "immediate window" of Visual Studio. The immediate window is used for debugging and evaluating expressions, executing statements, and printing variable values. The immediate window evaluates expressions by building and using the currently selected project. Therefore, this would be a great facility for debugging using UiPath.

We are a financial shared services office; we have been using UiPath in our daily process. This is the most useful tool.

This has helped us to automate most of the jobs. Even if it has more control and manual works, this works well.

• The recording features, basic Citrix, OCR, and desktop recording which gives good results
• OCR is at its best.

I'm from Chennai, and here I couldn't see any classroom training or academy which offers the classroom course.

The use cases we have focused on are:

• A high privileged account in Azure cloud
• NSG-ACL checks in Azure cloud
• Certificate renewal process
• Daily management reports.

UiPath has helped to solve our problems by automating all the process listed in the use cases in a short timeframe with the help of UiPath Studio. The major roadblock we faced was at the time of installation on Azure PaaS, and it was resolved by many twists and twigs of conditions based on the experience solutions enabler.

Features like:

• The optical character recognition is excellent; I have personally tested this product.
• Credential management is also one of the best. 
• Stability and UI responsiveness is good.

Improvements from product portfolio could be a product installation in an automated fashion, and support availability should be quick.

Reformulate simple processes such as API access and virtual environments, e-mail access, spreadsheet completion and systems.

• Positive impact on ROI
• Process control and integrity of information
• Reduction of expenses and reduction of procedural errors.

• Easy installation, maintenance, and competitive cost
• Active community, forum, and academy with resources for individual user development.
  

- Arguing between scopes and activities is still confusing.

The mode of argument transfer of a scope (or activity) is done by a screen where a variable is indicated as output to which the subsequent activity (or scope) is indicated as input. In large projects, these arguments need to be identified in an easy, fast and unquestionable way. Assigns a variable value to then assigns that variable to the output argument, and then assigns an argument as input to another activity. I think this transfer should be done in the panel of variables and not in the properties of the activity



REFramework is good, but still very rigid.

REframework is a good template but besides being very generic it is also rigid with respect to error handling. Basically follows the default entry> processing> output which does not encompass part of the applications in RPA, we must remember that the tool is for scripting and falling into the programming vices is a mistake. Overall it is a good way to start processes but during development it will be completely changed

We used a free application with few features.

A complete and agile solution for companies of any size.

Easy installation and maintenance with lower costs than practiced in the market.

I studied all three major RPA markets, "Automation Anywhere" and "Blue Prism".

I use UiPath in my company to migrate data between systems of a large telephone company where I use various functions available in UiPath, as well as OCR, PDF integration, email integration, SAP integration.

The return is sensational. We have been able to optimize process time and reduce costs. The robot manages to work 24/7 and with a near-zero error rate.

Integration with OCR, Excel, PDF, SAP, Outlook, since they are primary functions in the day-to-day operations of a company working with PDF, Excel.

Better documentation of the tool, since some frameworks adopted by the community of the tool is still very nebulous to understand. ReFramework, the main framework adopted by UiPath for better use of the tool is poor explained in Academy Advanced Course.

Data scraping. I use UiPath for extracting Twitter and TripAdvisor reviews from hashtag and comments. Then, I analyse the positive and negative data to a table using Python script which uses natural language understanding.

Earlier, we used to extract data using a Python script which uses Beautiful Soup library. Now, we can easily scrape data using a simple tool. It's not only just scraping data, but our non-coder or non-programmer staff is also very happy with this tool. 

This tool covers all segments of people in the industry. Our software engineering intern was also able to perform and design a sequence which could extract review tables from TripAdvisor.

I love the ease and smoothness of the tool. The company has its own academy in which you can learn from fundamentals to advanced level. Each time you complete a level, they praise you with a certificate so that you keep being motivated. Personally, I have half completed level three. The tool can be accessed easily either when you want to schedule a task on VM or on your own computer. Generally, I do data scraping and automation tasks, for example, I scrape the Twitter data using hashtags. I scrape +ve and -ve tweets to an Excel file up to some pages and then analyze the text into +ve and -ve tweets using natural language text understanding.

The first thing I dislike is it is not available in a Linux environment. I prefer to work on Ubuntu and would have liked if it is available for Linux systems. Secondly, There is very limited content on ReFramework on UiPath Academy. Assignments cannot be done just by reading the text. There must be a demo for ReFramework projects.

Suppose you have to work on open source development or Open Source project for a networking community. It requires to have a Bash. You cannot do that in windows. If you are running a script on daily basis for checking malware or something like that on your home networks using Linux (with the support of a GUI tool), you could automate it using UiPath if you had a Linux version of the UiPath RPA.

Secondly, when you learn for certification from the academy you have to pass level 3 in between. Which requires a good hands-on with re-framework.The academy lacks practice material for the same.
