UiPath Platform Reviews

Organizational internal processes automation — especially in areas of operation and admin (back-office).

I believe that UiPath opened topics of RPA and AI/ML in our company (which consequently led to a shift and much stronger orientation of our company — globally — towards technologies and technological areas like software development, the blockchain, IoT, etc.). I believe that this role ("enabler" role) was crucial and also helped tremendously in raising overall 'digital'/'ICT' and 'programming/integration concepts' awareness company-wide. You might agree that the impact of this scale might be much higher and more important than any time and costs saved by actual automation.

UiPath Studio as a whole (the very 'core' component of the entire platform) allows you to concatenate all the different pieces/actions/sources you need — and doesn't matter which one that is (API, web, database, legacy system, OS application, email, or anything else like Excel, data transformation or even OCR).

Also, I'd like to highlight Academy (and e-learns) — it's very good and provides you with everything necessary you need to know.

2018.3 and 2018.4 releases made a huge leap in terms of functionality — we're not missing anything currently.

Good.

Very good (up to 10k robots — definitely OK).

Very good.

No.

The entire Orchestrator setup is a bit tricky (a lot of different components — Kibana, Elasticsearch, URL Rewrite, PowerShell scripts), but we had guidance and description on the web which is also very good.

In-house.

One year.

Strategic partnership might bring you a significant discount (it also depends on the size of your company and future potential of the vendor — your business cases).

Yes (Kofax, Blue Prism).

• Developed a project for invoice issuance in SAP: Using UiPath, we could finish the project very fast.
• Save costs from my company and for our clients.

• Using UiPath, we could engage with a lot of new clients, because we showed them how powerful UiPath is.
• We finished projects more faster using UiPath.
  

• The user interface of UiPath is the best part of the tool. It is easy to learn how to use.
• Another feature is the orchestrator which helps to organize all the robots in one place.

• The UiPath could improve in the AI part so that we could build more powerful robots.
• It will be helpful if we could have a diff for better version control.
  

A well established, mature process that the current employer spends a significant amount of time on which can be done by a robot agent.

Using UiPath, my organization is able to provide to clients, a unique tool to develop RPA in many different systems.

• Scheduling
• Asset management using orchestrator
• Very comprehensive framework (ReFrameWork) that helps the developer to build easy to read, scalable automations.

• An easier way to use object-oriented languages
• Better version control with different features
• Git integration if possible. 

We run many batch jobs manually to accomplish our business processes, which is very cumbersome and prone to human errors. One wrong job run may take many hours to fix the data, which sometimes causes chaos. Due to automation, it is easy to resolve our manual batch job run.

When batch jobs run, at that time, systems are locked and users are out. Once it is completed, only then do we allow users to log in to the system. Many times, operators run wrong jobs which creates chaos and exceeds the SLAs. After the automation, I believe these issues can be resolved.

• Drag and drop feature to build the application
• Keyword-based search and accordingly it just inherits its properties.

In the next release, I believe it should include cross-platform features. Like if our product is developed on Linux, then it should be capable of running shell scripts.

Still implementing.

We are using the UiPath platform for back-office end-to-end process automation, combined with OCR and cognitive services.

In our projects, we provide our customers with a x2 to x6 efficiency improvement, error decrease, and SLA improvement.

• Core activities
• Excel activities
• All the cognitive activities
• Python and customer activities
• UiPath Go! (good platform for the community for knowledge sharing)
• UiPath Academy (best courses apart from other vendors).

• Provide a robot as a service model (subscription for the platform services) for partners to provide more chances to SMB to compete enterprises.
• More cognitive services from Google, AWS, Microsoft, integrated into the platform provide wider capabilities for developers and service providers.

We use UiPath to test automation for asset management, wherein we found it can help us to reduce the time and increase data accuracy.

We have many manual processes internally, so we decided to start evaluating UiPath for automation. We know that automation will help us to be more efficient and accurate.

Browser automation and schedule jobs which are the main activities that require manual work or visual validations by the users.

When using UiPath Studio sometimes I felt lost when trying to locate specific activities, so probably will be a good idea to improve the icons beside the activities, so I can remember easily.

Our primary use case of this solution is to automate a process that includes and prints out files that contain financial details of an insurance company into an Excel and apply some formulas on them.

UiPath had a great effect on the FTEs in my company since some of the most crucial tasks that were repetitive at the same time got automated.

The seamless development experience about the tool was great, and also the big number of packages and the community behind that backs everything.

Some more features for the newly developed mobile version would have a great effect on the future of the product.

My primary use case is for creating custom-specific products based on the customer's needs. The requirements can be received from the customer on emails and then based on it the order can be created. This reduces time, ensuring no human error and on time delivery. 

The total time taken to enter this in the system is less compared to the manual process which is indeed error-prone. This also removes the process of reviewing the order for correctness as the straight-through processing is enhanced. By making this scale on all the other locations and geographies, lots of time and effort can be saved. This also enhances the reputation of the services and organization. 

In addition to this, the confidence created by the successful implementation is a real eye-opener as the big step is taken with great success.

UiPath has taken automation to a pinnacle of excellence by mixing technology, attention to detail, and keen observation. The way UiPath has revolutionized automation with excellent coverage, user-friendliness is helping companies focus on their core areas. Employees can now focus on real problems than spend time on routine jobs.

Feature-rich options to help easy implementation: It's flexible, scalable, and easy to implement. The time taken to create the bot is less. 

The easy drag-and-drop options make it easy to solve the challenges within a short time frame. Another important aspect is the framework and other useful tools and templates available have that makes it easy to document the audit trail and also standardization.

More support for certification is needed to attract professionals. The certification process could be made more interesting.

I find the most valuable features are automation and RPA.

This solution needs improvement, especially in terms of continuing the process that is left in case of any kind of disaster that happens to the trimmers. If there is a state that can be maintained to removing the machines to another location and continue from there, it would be helpful. Right now, this is lacking.

I have not had issues with the stability of the product.

I have not had issues with the scalability of the product.

The implementation is simple.

It is a good product. I think if it could stream, rather than being stateless, it would be appreciated.

I did many small projects in UiPath like PDF extraction, website automation, and translated the data into different languages.

We are able to extract data from the PDF and website, then translate the data into different languages.

Recording and scraping which directly extracts the data from the website and saves it into the excel sheet.

We are not able to extract the data from the same type of PDF which is bulky in number, and scrapping is not so good.
