Automation of rule-based and mundane tasks allows time for more productive activities
Pros and Cons
  • "The employee's productive hours increased and they were able to handle more transactions and focused on better quality work that needs human intelligence."
  • "A self-coding robot can be a very useful tool in the future."

What is our primary use case?

I'm working at a computer software company, where we're bringing digital transformation using UiPath. All rule-based and mundane tasks are identified and automated using RPA. We have about 25 bots in production now. Data processing, file handling, email automation, and related activities are running in production.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features are the ability to interact with almost all applications in Windows, ease of programming, excellent forum support for developers, free academy training, Orchestrator capabilities for BOT handling, and Citrix-supporting features during development.

What needs improvement?

Robotic process automation should mold and grow into intelligent process automation where a BOT can handle more than just robotic and simple tasks. I'm sure UiPath is working towards it.

A self-coding robot can be a very useful tool in the future.  

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using UiPath for three years.

Great UX and very intuitive UI

What is our primary use case?

Data transfer between different apps is the main use case for us.

How has it helped my organization?

We've been using UiPath in plenty of business processes with great results. It's made our lives easier by automating data entry between different applications, reducing to a minimum repetitive work that everybody hates doing. Our teams have won a lot of time they now use in more interesting tasks where they can really make a difference.

What is most valuable?

  • Great UX and very intuitive UI
  • Fast and easy to learn
  • Simple to configure with Orchestrator
  • Works with most web apps and desktop apps, including Citrix
  • UiExplorer is a fantastic help
  • Can be used in attended or unattended modes.

What needs improvement?

  • Debugging mode has room for improvement
  • Sluggish to develop when several XAML files are open
  • Price for large projects.

For how long have I used the solution?

One to three years.

Has good workflow capabilities and supports a broad set of applications

What is our primary use case?

The most relevant use cases are business processes that include repetitive human tasks that make use of different apps in a common workflow.

How has it helped my organization?

There are lots of opportunities to improve these business processes in terms of efficiency, time taken, and error rates.

What is most valuable?

  • Good workflow capabilities
  • E-learning and training academy
  • Fully robotized and human-assisted automation
  • A broad set of applications supported
  • VB.NET and C# for developers make it easy to get started.

What needs improvement?

  • Price could be an issue for large projects, but that's where you'll get a high ROI too.
  • The collection of applications supported can grow, but we've seen it's happening in the last versions.

For how long have I used the solution?

One to three years.

It has a very easy drag-and-drop interface that makes automating processes a breeze

What is our primary use case?

Automating various processes in systems such as SAP, Windows automation, and Excel. By making generic components, we are able to reuse them for various projects and clients.

How has it helped my organization?

This solution has enabled us to automate repetitive processes in an easy manner which has improved our KPIs. It's not that time-consuming to automate processes.

What is most valuable?

UiPath has a very easy drag-and-drop interface, which makes automating processes a breeze. The activities make you do most things, and if not, you have the option to custom-code them in .NET.

What needs improvement?

  • Some features feel a bit buggy, and older versions are prone to crash. 
  • Double screen support would be nice. 
  • More AI and ML support.

For how long have I used the solution?

Less than one year.

It easily reduces non-litigated tools for our clients
Pros and Cons
  • "It is extremely helpful with our invoicing process."
  • "I would like UIPath to improve the OCR visuals."

What is our primary use case?

It is extremely helpful with our invoicing process. 

How has it helped my organization?

The key benefits are the reduction of the non-litigated tasks for our clients. It reduces time and staff needed to deal with these tasks. 

What is most valuable?

The automation process is helpful. 

What needs improvement?

I would like UIPath to improve the OCR visuals. Also, I wonder if one day the automation tools will be able to make simple decisions by themselves. 

For how long have I used the solution?

One to three years.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It scales up easily. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was not complex. 

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

The pricing is reasonable.

Easy to implement and use for automating processes in our CRM
Pros and Cons
  • "UiPath has helped to make all of the internal business processes lighter, enabling my company to save costs in time and speed for all of them."
  • "The training could be improved by clarifying more and more at every step."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use this solution for one of our business use cases. 

We are building robots with Safyr CRM. They are scheduled by Orchestrator and we are handling every step: Solution, design, followups, stacks, consulting, and finally implementation. Nowadays we are using robots internally but we will start with third-party clients in 2020 Q2.

How has it helped my organization?

UiPath has helped to make all of the internal business processes lighter, enabling my company to save costs in time and speed for all of them. Also, we are researching all implementation models to get the resources for a quick and agile response to all business cases within several markets.

What is most valuable?

Orchestrator is the definitive feature for me as it has the real meaning of robotic automation. The Orchestrator in UiPath has a lot of similarities with every RPA tool I have used, both for automations and machine managing. They remind me of tools like Jenkins or OpenShift UI. Simple and cool.

What needs improvement?

Since I am not an expert, I am looking to the training lessons. The training could be improved by clarifying more and more at every step.

We would like better integration with custom environments and external inputs like forums or integrations with other robotic frameworks.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using UiPath for two months.

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

We did not use another RPA solution prior to UiPath.

How was the initial setup?

UiPath is very useful and easy to implement.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Private Cloud

The academy is free and offers a low threshold for getting on the UiPath train

What is our primary use case?

The primary use case is probably the swivel chair operations where data is extracted from one system and used as input in another.

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. 

For how long have I used the solution?

One to three years.
