The academy is free and offers a low threshold for getting on the UiPath train
Pros and Cons
- "The academy is free and offers a low threshold for getting on the UiPath train."
- "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."
What is our primary use case?
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.

Web scrapping for us is the best tool so far
Pros and Cons
- "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."
- "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."
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?

The web recorder has been a great help when it comes to automating tasks over the internet
Pros and Cons
- "With the automation of the tasks, we have significantly increased the production of our clients, with robots running 24/7."
- "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."
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?

With a few clicks, we can automate a great demand for navigations in web systems
Pros and Cons
- "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."
- "Data extraction via PDF needs to be reviewed, although working fine with OCR, it still leaves a craving for PDFs with image source."
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.

The best part is you do not need to check anything manually
Pros and Cons
- "Gone are the days when you have to deploy 100s of people for repeated tasks."
- "We are facing a major challenge in front of us. The invoice automation can only be done when the invoices are on the website."
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.
