UiPath Platform Reviews

Production staff has to enter data manually in several apps which cannot be integrated via API. UiPath allowed us to automate most of the job, saving a lot of time in the process, which allowed us to move most of the team to more skilled tasks.

UiPath made the production workflow more efficient, reliable and profitable. The licencing price and the time spent setting it up was paid for after a month.

• It's very easy to learn and get started.
• Developers got it right away.
• All apps (desktop and web) were integrated without any issue.
• The online academy was very helpful.

Debugging has some room for improvement, but other than that everything seems to be just amazing. UiPath is clearly headed in the right direction.

A user receives data from an Excel file and then enters the data in the internal website/tool to calculate the price. So we automize this process using UiPath.

First, it reduces the typo mistakes; we are certainly sure that the data entered into the system are correct. Secondly, it saves a lot of time. Users don't need to type in data anymore and spend their time analyzing the process. Thirdly, our colleagues don't need to do much of the "monkey work" — typing. They just spend time controlling the results of the bots.

The training platform of UiPath is very good. It helps the business user without prior experience in programming to automize the process by themselves. This is a good approach because they are the ones with a great overview of the process and know how to control the quality of the results as well as foresee what the potential issues could be.

Also, it can work on everything. UiPath is like a VBA for Excel but can work on all applications (MS Office, SAP, web browser, etc.). So the potential for automation is nearly limitless.

• Compatibility with old systems and Java Script-based websites could be improved: During my project, I sometimes encounter issues when Uipath runs too fast while our old internal website (which was written in Java Script, I believe) is running slowly and we need to handle this type of error. Besides, some function of Uipath "Select item from list" does not work with our website (not compatible).
• More practical projects to be included in the training of UiPath Academy would help the business users to get used to executing the real projects (e.g. technical issues: why do we have to write the script this way, what errors usually occurred? and also project management - setting up timeline for the project, etc.)

• Financial domain
• Excel automation
• SAP automation
• Citrix automation
• Usage of Orchestrator queues
• RE framework
• Automating password resets
• Security and governance
• Highly elastic scalability
• Work queues
• Rules-based exception handling
• Large group deployment
• Rapid development support
• Centralized repository for version control
• Execution logs and credentials.

• We have a lot of processes to be automated. UiPath helped us to be cost effective and time effective.
• UiPath provides us with high speed in case of implementation.
• Implementation speed which helps how fast can you automate
• Reusability and extensibility which is used to build modular automation and reuse at the workflow level, plus it extends UiPath's functionality via custom activities or various integration.

• Citrix recorder
• UI Explorer
• I used to connect using remote desktop and automated it using image automation. 
• The cloud deployment option is particularly attractive to some customers for its flexibility and scalability, along with customary thin client advantages. 

Those customers should determine if the RA provider offers a cloud service that scales automatically. The customer should go beyond that minimum and look for a provider whose architecture provides a proven integration track record with Citrix (including Xen) and other virtualization technologies, enterprise applications such as SAP (GUI and web), Oracle, Siebel, PeopleSoft, Salesforce.com.

Sometimes when working with operation leads, it’s hard to get them to focus on the concept, and also believe in the concept. For approval, it should run through all of your company’s major departments, ranging from investor groups to operation floor leads to finance to management. Processes that will be affected by the RPA should all be consulted as well, and all departments should be considered in the RPA implementation process.

UiPath has been working great for us in automating processes where data needs to be manually fed into one application and the result transposed to another one.

Data entry and data transfer between applications is a slow and error-prone process when done manually. RPA is a great solution to this problem. We're using attended automation for this, but productivity has increased by a factor of 10.

• Ease of use
• Lots of training and learning material available, including an online academy
• Quick learning curve for developers, with great templates
• Wide application support (both native and web-based)
• Frequent delivery of new features and bug fixes
• Great pricing when considering the productivity gains.

Developers complained about UiPath becoming slow when developing complex processes. This only happens when developing, not when running the automation, so we solved this by boosting developers laptops with more RAM.

My primary use case is to automate the process of RPO. Here we use data scraping, web recording, email automation, integration of multiple application, etc. 

Since we automated the RPO process, our employees' submission and closure rate have been increased. Also, the workforce of the employees has been increased. Also, we are thinking of how to utilize the employees more to increase the productivity.

Data scraping is more valuable as the performance and preciseness are excellent. Now UiPath introduces UiPath GO which has a wide number of activities, and it is really useful for us. 

• For data scraping, the websites which have iframes are not extracting properly. 
• Also, the API generation in UiPath is not that much easy. It would be nice if we have an activity which easily converts a workflow into API.

I use UiPath to automate processes that use different systems. This is the best use for the tool since it has integration with a lot of systems.

We were able to automate processes that use different systems with only one tool. This approach has decreased the time of development and increased profit.

• The integration with the systems: that makes it easy to automate any process.
• It also has a very good OCR engine.

It is very expensive to acquire a UiPath license, and this cost makes it not so easy to profit from the automation.

• I worked on the employee onboarding and offboarding process for a client.
• I worked the reconciliation process for one of the financial clients.

I am working for multiple clients in the US on UiPath. UiPath is the most innovative tool for RPA. It pushes the innovation a step forward in every upgrade. UI based automation and background automation can both be done by UiPath. It makes every FTE job easier and much easier. Every business user feels much comfortable after their process gets automated so that they can keep their focus on some other productive work.

Web automation and Citrix automations are made very easy.

It is not compatible with some of the old windows applications.

I am dealing with the clients who still use 1990's power builder applications. The UiPath is unable to recognize the elements of the applications.

Business solutions, not only IT related.

Improvement on repetitive activities, boring tasks, and error handling reduction.

A user interface for developers: You can develop something without being a programmer!

Typically, the best improvement of Microsoft tools embedded (as for Excel), and SAP could be very useful (but in 2018.4 there is an improvement on SAP BAPI).
