I initially used UiPath for repetitive and structured or mechanical types of automation. I was a software engineer, and I handled maintenance processes for applications, whether it involved starting up servers, generating reports, or conducting health checks. These repetitive operational maintenance tasks were handled with UiPath. It was a tool for creating workflows to handle such menial tasks.

Makes automation of complex workflows easy
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Automation must be present in an organization. Without it, you are stuck with manual processes that require lots of manpower for menial tasks. Automation allows large companies to scale their services efficiently, focus on more strategic tasks, and serve their customers efficiently. Its benefits can be seen immediately after the deployment. Your staff does not have to do repetitive tasks anymore.
Communications mining happens at the intake part of an internal process. It helps to classify information coming from various channels, such as an email or a ticketing system. It is useful for triaging and actionable insights. You can action that using a downstream automation. It can help with any process, whether it is a finance, IT, HR, logistics, or healthcare process. They also have IXP which combines Communications Mining with Generative Extraction. Tone or sentiment analysis in documents helps with better redirection or triaging. It goes hand in hand with the capability to classify documents.
Communications mining can help save time for your resources. If about 80% of your incoming communication is related to order management, with automation, the return will be direct. There will be hard savings in terms of people needed to work on the order entry processes. Instead of ten resources, you might need just three resources. The savings depend on the use case or the volume of a particular use case.
A key strength of UiPath is that you can easily and quickly build automation. If you are familiar with UiPath, you can automate simple to medium processes in a few hours. If you do not have any technical background, you can get started with UiPath and be up and running in one week with the help of a foundational course. I had a colleague with a background in political science. He did the foundational course and was able to build a project on his own in just one to two weeks. He is now a successful technical project manager working with UiPath.
UiPath helps to reduce human errors if the process, requirements, and exceptions are properly defined and the process is fully optimized before being automated. The ideal target is 100% accuracy, but that is usually not possible for most processes. About 90% or more accuracy is more realistic.
We have started to gather use cases where we can leverage agenting automation. It opens up more capabilities or coverage on the existing use cases as compared to before where we could only automate an end-to-end process to a limit. For example, we could only automate entering an invoice into a system using UI or API automation and downloading a report. With Intelligent Automation, they have added the capability to read from structured and unstructured documents and then classify the content.
Agentic automation now allows us to handle complex tasks like invoice dispute investigations, which wasn't possible with traditional RPA. Using UiPath Agent Builder and Agentic Orchestration, we can automate and manage end-to-end processes across applications and provide meaningful resolutions. This makes workflows more dynamic and flexible compared to rigid, structured automation.
What is most valuable?
From the early days, UiPath stood out because of its intuitive interface and ease of use, enabling the automation of complex processes without requiring technical knowledge related to development. UiPath has since expanded from simple automation to Intelligent Automation and Agentic Automation. The coverage of more complex use cases has increased, making it more robust. Processes not capable of automation five or six years back can now be automated easily. We can read from documents using Document Understanding or create complex workflows that require many decisions using agents. They are moving towards Agentic Automation.
The UiPath community offers a lot of value for sharing knowledge and networking. It helps you build knowledge and grow professionally within the same company or land your dream job in this space. Many large companies are using UiPath as the main automation tool.
UiPath Academy was my first point of entry when I started using UiPath. With its help, I was able to build my first robot. It has also helped me to be up to date with the latest and greatest features of UiPath.
What needs improvement?
Now that UiPath is moving towards BPMN as part of agentic orchestration on Maestro, there is a need to make it easier for newcomers in the BPMN space to understand the components of a BPMN workflow. More awareness is needed since even technically inclined individuals are not very familiar with BPMN.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have probably used UiPath since 2017.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Our clients are large enterprises and small to medium businesses. We are both a partner and a customer. About 90% of our resources are working with UiPath. We are a small company with 200 to 300 employees.
How are customer service and support?
Sometimes the technical support team gets repetitive with the questions they ask, and for complex issues, it drags on too long.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
How was the initial setup?
Some of our customers are on-prem, and some of them are on the cloud.
If you are on the cloud, you do not need to worry about deployment. On-premise, it is similar to other software where you need to provision an infrastructure, either AWS or any of the hyperscalers. It might require more steps and effort, but it is doable.
For complex cases, it could take an average of three months. Simple ones can take less than a month.
In terms of maintenance, any solution requires some sort of support and maintenance.
What was our ROI?
UiPath Autopilot saves 20% of my time. Most of my time goes into building projects for customers and not for personal productivity. The only automations that I leverage are the prebuilt ones for my personal use, such as UiPath Autopilot.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
There is always an opportunity to improve. They have been trying to improve pricing by consolidating some of these SKUs together. They are trying to bundle more capabilities with the same set of licenses, which is good. However, because things are always changing, it leads to some confusion. They can make it more streamlined and consistent.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Compared to Blue Prism and Automation Anywhere, UiPath is more user-friendly and constantly innovating to lead in agentic capabilities.
What other advice do I have?
Overall, I would rate UiPath an eight out of ten.
An excellent solution for enterprise-level and scalable automation
What is our primary use case?
My primary use case is to build automation. We started with building automation for enterprises, then shifted to Intelligent Automation, and currently, we are using it for Agentic Automation.
By implementing UiPath, we wanted to solve different kinds of problems. The major one is where people are taking a lot of time to do mundane and repetitive tasks. Some processes have a lot of repetitive steps and a high business volume. We automated those processes. After that, we shifted to something called Intelligent Automation to process scanned documents such as bank invoices, PDFs, etc.
We are now working on use cases with Generative AI for building intelligent applications on top of automations.
How has it helped my organization?
Agentic Automation helps with use cases without fixed input and output. Previously, when we were only restricted to robotic process automation, we had to schedule the processes weekly or monthly. Whenever human intervention was required, it was a long loop. For business use cases where we needed a chat interface, we had to go for a different solution altogether and then integrate it with the automation. Agentic Automation helps with all use cases where a person gives unstructured input, such as a person wants to know where his order is or why his account was debited 300 dollars. To cater to all the use cases where inputs and outputs are not fixed, we use Agentic Automation.
The biggest benefits of Agentic Automation have been customer satisfaction and time to respond to queries. We used it for a use case for the L1 support of a client. Previously, the client's customer would call or message on chat, and a human would respond. The support person will go to the system, look for the query, and then revert on the chat or on the call. With the implementation of Agentic Automation, we have enabled the smart AI assistant for the company, so anybody can type anything onto that AI agent, and it is able to understand the context and the background. It knows who the user is, and it fetches all the details. It reduces the time of the support people. They can now focus on more important things rather than repetitive tasks. The response time to the customer is reduced, and user satisfaction has increased. It is also easy to scale. Tomorrow, if the volume of inquiries increases from 10 to 10,000, they do not have to hire more people. They just have to scale their AI agents.
We have had one or two use cases of UiPath Communications Mining. In one use case, the customer had a huge set of data in its on-prem environment, and they wanted to process a list of emails. They were a big hotel chain in the north of the US. They had a support mailbox where a lot of people sent emails related to the services, inquiries, etc. They wanted to monitor and categorize them into actionable insights to identify which features people liked or did not like. With UiPath Communication Mining, they extracted the information, bucketed the email, and got actionable insights. UiPath Communication Mining also gives you things that you need to prioritize. For example, they found out that a lot of people were complaining about the swimming pool, so they knew that the swimming pool was the first thing they needed to improve upon. UiPath Communications Mining was helpful for such actionable insights. After that, we used other products of UiPath, such as UiPath Studio, Orchestrator, or Action Center to build a complete cycle. UiPath Communications Mining turns every message into actionable data in real time, which means that you get insights within a fraction of a second of receiving emails.
UiPath Communications Mining helps automate actions or responses according to the type of content in the message. If they receive a customer email saying that they have to cancel their visit, they can categorize it into a cancellation request. Most of the time, it is able to identify content on its own. If it requires human input, it shows a pop-up on your screen where you can confirm a hotel cancellation request. As soon as you click on confirm, that date is available for other customers. An email is triggered to the support or the customer confirming the cancellation.
The insights from UiPath Communications Mining help the administration people to see what is working and what is not working. In this hotel use case, they can see that out of 1,000 emails, how many were for cancellation and how many were complaints. It provides information about the volume. You can drill into a specific category. It helps prioritize the issues.
The UiPath Communication Mining reduced the time of staff from three hours to fifteen minutes.
The introduction of autopilot into the UiPath products has made work easier. A lot of beginner developers are able to write automation by just giving a prompt. While doing the development and automation, if you are stuck at some point where you need syntax or code, within UiPath Studio, you can request the code. You do not have to search for the solution on the web. With a prompt, you can create an automation to read a PDF and convert it to Excel. It is absolutely low-code. Coding-wise, it is much easier than before.
UiPath provides good support for on-premises environments, which works very well for banks and other businesses that cannot go to the cloud. They have very good enterprise support and a dedicated team supporting on-premises. Their product managers work directly with customers. They continue to add things on the on-prem side. In addition to UiPath Studio, they have added AI Center, Document Understanding, Action Center, etc. They are putting all the things on-prem. They are able to cater to all use cases.
UiPath helps reduce human errors by 70% to 80%. About 20% of human errors are always there because new users are onboarding and systems are changing. You can even reduce them by 90% if your process is extremely streamlined and no human is involved. This reduction varies depending on the use case.
UiPath saves a lot of time and costs for our customers. For one of the use cases, the time taken was reduced from three hours to fifteen minutes. It also helps customers meet compliance.
What is most valuable?
The best thing about UiPath is that it is an end-to-end enterprise solution. Other agentic solutions are available, but UiPath has the entire enterprise suite to build the robots, which means native integration with enterprise applications like Teams, Outlook, and Excel. It has everything needed for day-to-day processes.
The UiPath AI Trust Layer provides data security assurance to customers, making it a trustworthy enterprise solution.
The UiPath Community has been a big support for me as a developer. UiPath has a very strong community. If I have a doubt or question, I can post it in the UiPath community, and people are there to help. UiPath rewards people who are helping others with some kind of reward points. It keeps the environment healthy and ensures that all the answers are genuine. People are ready to help, and in return, they get recognition. They sometimes get certification vouchers. UiPath has motivated a lot of people to contribute to the community. For a technical issue, about 90% of the time, an answer is available in the UiPath forum. Their Community Managers work hard to bring everything together.
UiPath has been up to date with the trend. It has evolved from being just RPA to Intelligent Automation, then to having robots for every person, and now towards Agentic Automation. UiPath has catered to everything from requirement gathering to coding, testing, deployment, pre-production, production, building chatbots, human-in-the-loop, etc. Everything is there in a single platform. Customers do not have to think about dealing with multiple companies. They just deal with one company for all components.
As a services company, we constantly have to train people based on the projects. If we are expecting a project on Document Understanding, our staff has to go to UiPath Academy and complete the Document Understanding course. It is one of the best courses I have come across as a developer. UiPath Academy also has quizzes, tests, and certifications, which help us to evaluate people. I do not have to keep a check on that. The developers just have to submit the final score. As a company, it saves a lot of time. UiPath Academy certification also adds credibility when we meet our customers.
What needs improvement?
There is a need for more integrations with external technologies like OpenAI, Gemini, SAP, Bedrock, BambooHR, etc. While UiPath currently has major integrations, as new software is adopted by customers, it would be beneficial if UiPath adds more integrations. They do allow building custom connectors, but having a comprehensive integration library would be beneficial.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used UiPath for eight years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
In terms of the cloud environment, it is absolutely stable. In eight years, there have been virtually no downtime instances. UiPath has backup servers, making cloud deployments extremely reliable. On-prem stability depends on the company's management.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability is excellent. The solution is capable of scaling with just a few clicks. We can increase users from 10 to 50 effortlessly. This flexibility makes it highly scalable.
Our clients are mostly enterprises. We have more than 30 specialists. We also work with vendors, totaling about 150 specialists.
How are customer service and support?
I would rate their support an eight out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have not used Automation Anywhere or Blue Prism, but I have used Microsoft Power Automate. Power Automate is suitable for small tasks with low to medium complexity, whereas, for more intensive enterprise-level and scalable automation, UiPath provides the necessary capabilities.
UiPath also offers the flexibility to write custom code. If needed, I can write C# or Python code, which is missing in the competitors. This capability enables us to build enterprise-level projects.
How was the initial setup?
The deployment model is a mix of cloud and on-prem, but most people are on the cloud. Two or three customers have deployed it on-prem.
The initial setup is super easy. They have a Community edition which is the free version. It is exactly similar to the Enterprise version, so that makes learning and deployment straightforward. I was able to deploy the Community edition in less than 30 minutes. The deployment is even shorter now.
The RPA automations require maintenance because they are highly dependent on the user interface. If a banking application that we automated got an update, your RPA solution will also need an update. Whenever there is an update happening in the base application, you will require an update. Otherwise, you are good. The second type of maintenance involves UiPath product updates. Every now and then, UiPath releases new features and versions.
What was our ROI?
It has mostly saved time, such as reducing support time from three hours to fifteen minutes. For cost savings, it depends, but significant savings have been seen with millions saved in some cases.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
As compared to the competition, its pricing is on the higher side. However, looking at the services you are getting, it is justified. It allows you to cater to more use cases.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend trying the Community edition first and then doing the Enterprise trial to test all the offerings. Evaluate the short-term and long-term roadmap and compare products before making a decision.
Overall, I would rate UiPath a nine out of ten as there is always scope for improvement. It meets all our day-to-day needs.
Offers automation cloud and intelligent automation, but pricing and licensing need improvement
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
UiPath enables us to implement end-to-end automation.
UiPath has freed up employee time because most accounting staff are now monitoring rather than performing tasks manually.
What is most valuable?
The robots are valuable, and UiPath is becoming stronger in the intelligent automation space, which is a good step forward. Also, Document Understanding integrated with Agentic AI is working well. The automation cloud is also good.
Their community is good. UiPath Academy is also good. You can get familiarized with the products. Whenever they release a product, they also release a course in UiPath Academy. So, you can get familiarized with the product and understand the new capabilities.
What needs improvement?
I do not like the Orchestrator setup and the licensing model. Its price is higher than others, and the licensing model is quite confusing.
UiPath should develop models for situations when other applications disrupt automation and provide a mechanism to override that. Efficiency issues are present and should be addressed.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used this solution for almost seven years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is not very stable. Sometimes there are issues, for example, selectors may not work properly.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is scalable enough, but since the license cost is high and most of our solutions are deployed in Azure VMs, which is expensive, customers are hesitant to invest in more bots or solutions. If the licensing costs were to decrease, more bots could be deployed.
We have 20 to 30 people using UiPath.
How are customer service and support?
Their technical support is average. Their community is good. For almost all the questions, we get answers. Initially, it was very difficult to get support, but nowadays, we do not have to go for support because most things get solved in the community itself.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Neutral
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I was a .NET developer before using UiPath, so it was more of a generic transition for me. I have worked with ABBYY FlexiCapture. My experience was good because the automation has been running fine. The document is in proper format. It works fine.
For me, UiPath is much easier to use than Power Automate or any other tool because I have the most experience with UiPath. They tried to fine-tune the automation experience over time, so it is much easier compared to other tools.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward and does not require much effort, just a bit.
We were using the on-premises version of UiPath, but we have now migrated to the cloud. The migration process itself was very easy because they have a cloud migration tool. We started using the cloud. It has more capabilities, and it is much easier for us to maintain. We do not have to update the Orchestrator after every release. So, it is good.
What about the implementation team?
The deployment is done in-house.
What was our ROI?
Most RPA solutions are cost-effective. For accounting, we automated tasks in our old organization, and now, most accounting staff are monitoring rather than performing tasks manually. They are simply doing validations.
UiPath has reduced human error and saved employee time.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Its cost is a bit on the higher side. We are not very happy with their pricing. Most of the UiPath products are priced higher than competitors.
What other advice do I have?
UiPath is evolving with current trends, particularly in AI, and is now focusing on Agentic AI. The future looks promising for UiPath.
Overall, I would rate it a seven out of ten. It is a good product.
Allows referencing specific objects on the screen and offers good capabilities for desktop flows
What is our primary use case?
I have used UiPath for very few projects. My go-to tool when it comes to automation is Power Automate. The reason for that is that I work in the Microsoft 365 environment, so Power Automate is better connected than UiPath.
With UiPath, I helped some organizations in my company automate tasks like data entry into systems such as SAP.
How has it helped my organization?
I like UiPath. I enjoy working on UiPath. It has a lot of different features to control, especially related to desktop flows. I helped some organizations in my company automate tasks like data entry into systems such as SAP. They had Excel files, and all that data needed to be input on standard screens in SAP. It was taking a fair amount of time to do it by hand. We created a flow that transfers all that data, interacting with the screens in SAP, and uploads that information where another alternative, like an API or mass upload tool, was not available.
It is pretty easy to build automation in UiPath. We could easily implement end-to-end automation. I was consulting a group within my company. I was helping them build the flow. For them, it was a game changer because they would have spent several man-hours trying to transfer all that data into SAP, creating all those SAP items. After that, they were not only able to complete the task at hand; they were also able to replicate and create more automations on their own because they knew how UiPath works. They learned a little bit more and were able to continue to expand the other processes they had.
We were able to realize its benefits quickly. It took us a couple of weeks to finalize the flow, but once it was built, we were able to start seeing the benefits. It definitely saved time.
What is most valuable?
I like the way that I can reference specific objects on the screen, like a specific text box, and add a value to it. The capability that UiPath has to recognize elements on the screen is what I found most useful at that time.
UiPath has a lot of courses for easy learning. There were several courses that I offered to the organization I was helping. I myself went through several online resources that UiPath offers to figure out things.
What needs improvement?
UiPath should be less sensitive to changes in the existing UI of the system we are trying to manipulate. If it was more intelligent in adapting to changes in the user interface and the tools we are trying to manipulate, it would be beneficial. If the UI changes or a label is changed, sometimes the whole flow breaks. Identifying where the flow breaks requires going into edit mode and making modifications. It might be quite extensive work with the new, updated UI.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using UiPath here and there for at least two years. It is a part of the solutions that my company offers, but I have not used UiPath as much as Power Automate.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It performs well. I do not see any issues there.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I use Power Automate on a daily basis.
How was the initial setup?
It was easy. It took us about a few weeks for ideation, selecting UiPath as a tool, getting everything set up, building the flow, and testing.
In terms of maintenance, users continually review and upgrade their flows. They can reuse the existing flows to create new ones.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I am not familiar with the pricing. I worked for an organization where the UiPath was available, so I do not know what the pricing is.
What other advice do I have?
It was through an internal community that I connected with the organization for which I did the automation, and that is a great advantage. They were looking for people to help create automation. I was curious about UiPath, and I wanted to learn. I raised my hand to build that for them. An external community or a learning community is something that has proven its value by creating synergies between people who do not know and people who already know a little bit, allowing them to get together and grow.
In my opinion, RPA solutions are alternatives to digital transformation. Digital transformation is a big project. When you do not have access to those big budgets or the structure to get into new capabilities on an existing system or implement a future system, that is when you go to RPA to supplement the digital transformation. If the use case is not eligible for the big capital investment or the big project investment, you go through the route of RPA.
I would rate UiPath a nine out of ten.
Automation significantly speeds up billing processes and saves costs
What is our primary use case?
Currently, we do not have any AI use cases. I work for a healthcare system. Our main use case is using UiPath to replicate what medical coders do. We input codes from certain medical systems into another, and it automates our billing cycle. This allows us to input the codes directly into the insurance billing cycle, speeding up our payment process.
How has it helped my organization?
Our hospital does not get paid if we are slow to get the codes to the payers. By automating this process with UiPath, we wanted to speed up the process of getting paid by the insurance companies. It has been amazing. Just this year, we probably saved 45 million dollars, and the next year, it will be upwards of 80 million.
What is most valuable?
In health care in America, many processes are still paper-based. Document processing is valuable as it allows doctors to have documents processed in advance, making it easier to access and ask questions. Additionally, UiPath has freed up staff time significantly, to the point where some staff had to be laid off. Our use of automation sped up the process of getting paid from insurance companies, saving us substantial amounts of money.
What needs improvement?
We're looking to add AI, specifically generative AI, but it's a matter of our organization implementing it. With autopilot features like Microsoft's Copilot or ChatGPT, users can start chatting immediately. However, with UiPath, one needs the UiPath Assistant installed on every machine, which is unrealistic as many people use the same machine in the hospital.
For how long have I used the solution?
My enterprise has been using UiPath since 2021. My team inherited it in 2023, so it has been about 11 years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution just went live yesterday, so I don't have feedback on its stability yet.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The solution is scalable. We previously had an older solution, and UiPath helped us revamp and upgrade our systems, making them more scalable.
How are customer service and support?
The customer support from UiPath is amazing. We are part of the hypercare, and I would rate it as a nine out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We use Power Automate a lot and still incorporate it alongside UiPath. Some hospital systems require us to be all on-premises, so we use both UiPath and Power Automate to get our systems working as needed.
What about the implementation team?
Some automations were built in-house by our team of developers. We also worked with an external partner and UiPath to implement some other solutions.
What was our ROI?
We have seen a 100% return on investment. The process is night and day when compared to paying employees over time for the same work.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It is more expensive than other automation services, but I don't deal with the financial details much.
What other advice do I have?
As automation software, I would rate UiPath a ten out of ten.
User-friendly interface and community support drive task automation while documentation needs enhancement
What is our primary use case?
The primary use case for UiPath is to automate tedious tasks in my organization and previous organizations. It's very friendly, offering free licensing, which makes it easy for people to learn and work with it. The ability to automate repetitive activities that take a lot of time is a significant advantage.
How has it helped my organization?
UiPath has enabled tasks to be done quickly and on schedule without human errors. It allows repetitive processes to be performed multiple times without issues, freeing human resources from tedious daily activities.
What is most valuable?
The user interface of UiPath is very easy to understand, and one does not need a technical background to learn it. The community is supportive, providing alternative solutions and quick responses.
UiPath's flexibility allows for significant automation, reducing manual errors significantly. The ability to have an orchestrator to manage processes efficiently is another valuable feature.
What needs improvement?
There is a need for more videos and examples on upcoming enhancements and changes. If they can improve the OCR engine and provide more detailed documentation and multiple examples, it would be helpful for adapting to new updates.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using UiPath for almost nine years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Stability-wise, the tool is good, however, each upgrade requires a lot of preparation, as it involves changing infrastructure and testing new capabilities.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
There are no scalability issues mentioned in the transcript.

I would rate UiPath seven out of ten based on my current experience. For people from both technical and non-technical backgrounds, it's a great tool due to its easy learning curve. The licensing makes it accessible for learning and development.
Best Automation Tool for Streamlined Testing Workflows
Insights feature provides invaluable data on time savings but could improve the updates
What is our primary use case?
We adopted UiPath to leverage its generative AI capabilities for rule-based automation. This technology enhances the resilience of our automated processes, ensuring continued functionality even when underlying systems or data undergo changes that would typically disrupt traditional automation.
How has it helped my organization?
Our business challenges necessitated a combined approach of AI and automation. While automation initially streamlined processes, its rigidity proved limiting when faced with changing information. AI, with its learning and adaptive capabilities, addressed this by recognizing patterns and adjusting to variations. This synergy allows the AI to handle similar changes without requiring new automation, ultimately achieving the same outcome with increased flexibility and efficiency.
Our automations are now AI-centric, and this focus will expand significantly within the company as our organization refines its AI strategy.
Our company is developing a new AI automation strategy focused on employee engagement, partnering with Microsoft Copilot and utilizing ChatGPT for automation. While our AI policy is still being developed, we plan to carefully consider how to best leverage UiPath's AI capabilities, with a strong emphasis on security, once the policy is in place.
UiPath has helped save our staff time to focus on other tasks.
What is most valuable?
UiPath's most valuable feature is Insights, which provides invaluable data on time savings and AI model performance.
What needs improvement?
UiPath should prioritize improving its updates and user-friendliness, particularly for new team members. Streamlining updates and simplifying the interface would enhance the onboarding experience and overall productivity.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using UiPath for two and a half years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
In terms of what we use UiPath for, the stability has been great.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We utilize both cloud-based and on-premises automation solutions. Our infrastructure began with two servers and has gradually expanded to four. UiPath has proven to be a scalable platform, provided we maintain the necessary licenses.
How are customer service and support?
UiPath's support is generally good, augmented by the assistance of a Technical Account Manager who helps escalate requests when needed. However, resolving issues without a TAM would be significantly more challenging.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Prior to my joining the team, the organization utilized Automation Anywhere.
How was the initial setup?
The initial deployment was complex.
What about the implementation team?
