I am a UiPath developer. I have automated web-based processes like HR and finance. I have also worked on a use case consisting of web-based automation, Excel automation, and email automation.

The solution reduces FTEs in processes that require 100 people for repetitive tasks. It really helps customers to reduce human effort and guides the robot to do efficient work within the schedules.

It's very easy to manage and automate Orchestrator because it allows plug-and-play models and drag-and-drop approaches.

UiPath should be able to adapt to other operating systems like Linux or macOS. The tool must reduce the activity required for workflow design. It should be made similar to Visual Studio. It should provide a better way to analyze the recursion functions.

I have been using the solution for six years.

Compared to Automation Anywhere or other open-source tools, UiPath's stability is very good. However, when it comes to very complex hybrid automation with high-density bots, where we require many third-party applications, UiPath cannot handle such scenarios.

PDF automation is very complex. Either we will have to use a third-party Python script, or we will have to build a custom OCR. We require good programming knowledge. The product must improve its stability. I don't see much stability. Though it is available in an environment like Mac, it is not up to the mark as it is in Windows.

The product is scalable.

First, we validate with the logs. In logs, we have to identify certain categories of errors. From there, we identify the root cause. During development, we rename all the activities to appropriate annotations so that we can backtrack them accordingly. If there are any exceptions, it is passed on to the Global Handler. If any error occurs, we email the support team with a screenshot. For example, if ten transactions have been processed and there is a system exception, we immediately send a screenshot to the support team.

The initial setup was straightforward. It did not include the CI/CD pipeline. There were two machines. One was the developer, and the other was the production machine. We had to deploy it into the production machine. An Orchestrator admin and a developer are enough to deploy the solution.

To deploy the solution, we create the package and describe the overall process. We compress it into a new package and assign the robots with the machine key. Then, we create certain asset queues for the processes and upload them into Orchestrator.

Once all the assets are created, we assign a VM to the package. Then, we upload the package and map it to the process name. We add triggers if required, and if any change request comes, we raise the request, the manager approves, and we proceed with the implementation. It is very easy to maintain the product if there are no version changes in the applications.

The licensing cost is very high.

UiPath's cost is very high. When we transfer the knowledge of a robot to another, certain images are not available. It's difficult to identify the XML collectors. A proper annotation or guidance must be given to the user. When a new version is updated, the tool becomes slower. It is very difficult to maintain version history because of the bulk update activities. If we want to convert from Windows to Windows legacy, it is very difficult.

We get the input files from emails. We read the input files, extract data from the template, and open it in the browser. We worked on an engineering product. We used UiPath to get information about the testing and the model's integrity. Certain information was in the Excel file. We had to extract information on whether the model had to be tested with plastic or without a plastic cover. There were drop-down messages. We captured the values and injected the JavaScript modules to autofill the data.

Once the testing was created, we created a sample order. We filled out a form from the input file, gathered all the details into a summary, and wrote an HTML code for it. Then, we sent it to the client and informed them that the test had been created successfully.

For SAP, we did an auditing type of automation. For example, we automated payments and filled in all the information from the template. Then, we had to propose, settle, and release the payment. In SAP, we are using VBScript also. It has some complex scenarios.

If it is a PDF type of automation, I would recommend the latest technology called Document Understanding. I can define and train the fields using certain anchors and then go with extractions. Machine learning models are also possible. It would be the best way to do a PDF automation.

Calling an API would be the right choice if it is an API approach. If we have been asked to download certain files from SharePoint, we create a custom Azure application. We define secret keys, certificates, and IDs. We define certain API permissions. Then, through UiPath, we install Microsoft 365. We can then download the file. If the process is more complex, ABBYY is the best choice.

Building automation using the solution is easy. We need a little bit of programming knowledge for complex or hybrid automation. For easy automation, plug-and-play connectors and activities are readily available in the solution. We just have to get trained and use them.

UiPath speeds up digital transformation and reduces the cost of digital transformation up to a certain extent. We required a ticket-tracking system where we needed additional third-party software like OneDrive and Office 365 to be installed. For Box drive, we had to install SDK. We also had other solutions like Google Drive, spreadsheets, and Zoom APIs. The solution has helped a lot to minimize our on-premise footprint.

It enables us to implement end-to-end automation. It is important for customers because they want to avoid repeated tasks. If a customer wants to search for an email and upload it in a different portal, they might have to open multiple pages. However, if we choose end-to-end automation, things can work in the backend. The Picture-in-Picture mode in UiPath allows the user to work parallel to automation. So, while the robot runs, the user can do their work parallelly.

I have not used the AI functionality much. I have used AI for a POC of a custom model where I had to identify objects from an image. There were many questions like how many people were in the image, how many cars were there, how many street lights were there, and how many fruits were there. I had to find the count of the people or objects and their confidence scores. It was a small POC with the object detection model built with Python.

The product has helped to stabilize standard and structured processes. If the data is unstructured or unorganized, we use ABBYY as a third-party application. We have to train and classify all the assets and forms. The robot trains the modules using the connector and converts the semi-structured data into structured data. We can make automation more scalable using third-party applications. The cost is very high, though. UiPath is not that stable.

I have used the Academy courses. I have also completed enterprise training and acquired a certificate as an RPA developer. UiPath has a very good community. If we get stuck on anything, we can get solutions for our problems. Currently, ChatGPT is also helping us in many ways. My UiPath skills are really good. I keep doing R&D on AI Fabric, automation, and other features. The community helps me to learn.

A little bit of programming knowledge is a must to use the tool. A level one automation or a straightforward case with repetitive tasks does not require much programming knowledge. The user can use the solution if they have knowledge about the dynamic selector and wildcards. They should have a little bit of fundamental knowledge of computers and automation.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I've used the solution within the healthcare system in the past. At this time, I use it for mortgages.

I use the solution to automate any digital processes that have specific rules and steps to follow and can potentially save the company a lot of time and money.

The Studio is extremely user-friendly. All of their products are user-friendly. I use the Orchestrator a lot as it's so simple.

My assessment of the ease of building automation using the product is positive. The UI of the application itself is very easy to use and navigate. It's very easy to debug. The fact that they're constantly listening to the feedback from the customers and the developers in the developer community is great. They're constantly pushing updates to fix things or add new features based on that feedback. They are really a company that listens to their users.

I have done automations for good causes. It was for responsibly disposing of medications. I didn't stick around to see the positive impact. I implemented it and then left. This was for a Fortune Top-Four company. There were a lot of people who ultimately received the notifications that came out thanks to this robot that let them know how to dispose of medications and the requirements. It also went as far as to locate the two nearest facilities based on their physical address within the closest driving distance. Hopefully, it caused a lot of people to be able to easily know where they could take those medications to dispose of them.

The solution enables us to implement end-to-end automation. It's extremely important. If you're going to automate something, you need to go all in. It's not necessarily black and white. There are exceptions to that rule. However, if it can be automated and it makes sense to automate it, then it should be automated. There shouldn't be human intervention if it's not absolutely necessary. Otherwise, it defeats the purpose of automating.

The user community is great. I see several people who are very trustworthy in their responses. It's very, very active. Everybody's helping each other out as far as giving them solutions to their issues, so it's something that I turned to quite a bit.

We've seen large time and money savings. As you start doing more and more processes, other people talk to other people, and then you get other people coming to you saying they have processes that should be automated. It's simply a matter of knocking down those walls and getting people to understand that we have this tool at our fingertips. And once they understand that then the opportunities are limitless.

I've seen some minimization in the on-premises footprint thanks to UiPath. In some companies that I've worked at, yes. In others, no. Where I'm at right now, they're still on-prem there, however, they are planning to go to the cloud next year.

Whether it is essential or not for customers to go to the cloud to reduce this on-premise footprint depends on the customer. Some customers, especially in the healthcare space, are afraid of the cloud for security reasons even though there is a lot of documentation to prove otherwise that it is very secure. The healthcare industry is always behind when it comes to that stuff. It takes a lot of building up of trust. The same is true with the government. However, there are others that embrace leading-edge technologies, and those are the ones that are using the cloud.

I've used the Academy courses. I was able to get my advanced RPA developer certification. It allows me to stay current on all of the updates that are being done across all of the products. It's very easy to filter and find the course that you want to watch depending on the product or your level of expertise. The actual format of the courses is very well done. The person who speaks is very clearly spoken, and easily understood. They do a combination of reading, videos, and hands-on in all the courses. It is a little bit for every type of learning style, and I've gotten a lot out of it.

I do not use the solution's AI functionality in our automation program much. I have used document understanding, which is one of their AI products. It opens up a whole new world of possibilities. There's already so much that can be done very easily and there is nothing that's too difficult to implement. Once you do understand how to build processes that use AI, it opens up many other possibilities that could get even bigger in terms of the value that it brings to a company. I gained a lot of knowledge and new skills from going through the process of building out a document understanding process and understanding how to learn all those new tools. It also integrates with the action center and a couple of the other UI top products as well. It's a really good learning experience.

It has enabled me to automate more processes. It can contribute to the end-to-end automation that we implement. It just depends on where the company is at and their automation journey if they have processes that would be very high returns in terms of value and require more AI integration.

The product can help speed up digital transformation and reduce the cost of the digital transformation. Having these tools in your toolbox allows you to do a lot more so long as you have the digital input.

We no longer require any expense, complex application upgrades, or IT application support. It's very easy, especially with the cloud. I did have some difficulties recently at a company that goes through a proxy on their VMs, which made it a little bit more difficult to install the machines and get them working. However, overall, when you have to install what is needed to build and run the automation and you're on the cloud version, it's simply an executable that you download. You click through a couple of screens that are very self-explanatory and well-explained. And that's it. There's nothing special to do as everything else is hosted in the cloud. As long as you have the wherewithal to set up a VM with the basic requirements that are needed, it's extremely easy.

I've seen a reduction in human errors while using UiPath. A robot is programmed to do what you tell it to do. It's not going to make the same type of mistakes that a human would make. It would make mistakes only due to the way that you program it. Therefore, it absolutely should and does reduce the errors that you would see otherwise from a human.

The solution has freed up employee time. The most recent report that I got from some automation that has been done in the past shows that, over the past five or six months of automation, that I have built there have been two full-time employees at 60 hours a week who were let go, and then there were at least two other people that were are now spending at least half their time doing manual inputs. Now, they are doing other things. There's a direct impact that I've seen just from recent automation.

The money saved from manual labor is a clear cost savings. Other times, it's more about cost avoidance. Sometimes there is some additional value that it brings that's almost unable to be calculated - such as customer satisfaction, customer retention, or customer acquisition. Those things are a little bit harder to calculate. For the most part, it offers a clear time equals-money type of cost-benefit.

Unfortunately, I used to be a lover of their Slack channel and people don't seem so responsive there anymore. Unfortunately, I've gotten away from using their Slack channel. That would have been a really good way for me to get some help from the community, yet I don't find it helpful anymore.

They're working on integrating their version of a chat. They're starting with Studio Xpress or StudioWeb. I don't use StudioWeb and I don't use StudioX, however, I would love to have that type of feature in Studio. I could use it across the board, not just in Studio, but in Assist.

Their error messaging could use some improvement. More times than not an error that you receive is accurate or not clear.

In terms of missing features, I can't think of any. They are always ten steps ahead.

I've used the solution since 2018.

The solution is stable and reliable.

The solution is 100% scalable.

It's very easy to open an issue with support. I've learned over the years that you don't need to necessarily say that you have a high-priority issue in order to get a quick response. They are very responsive. They are very clear in the steps they need you to take to give you what they need in order to fix your problem. If they're unable to fix it by requesting that information. They get on a call with you to troubleshoot. They follow up with you after. They give you a survey to make sure they did well. Every part of their support process is great. I have no complaints at all.

I have only scratched the surface of RPA. With Blue Prism and Automation Anywhere, I've only worked with them enough to see where they are in comparison to UiPath. I also fully trust the reports that Gartner puts out, and UiPath has been on top for so long now and always is and always keeps that spot. I don't want to waste my time on anything else. I want to stay in this lane with a product and a company that I know and love - one that has done an amazing job - and be an expert in that rather than go around and only know a little bit about a lot of things.

It's very easy to implement the solution and I've done it multiple times. I'm not somebody who typically installs software. I'm not a hardware person. I'm not even good with other types of software necessarily, and yet I find the installation process to be very simple.

I didn't need a lot of staff to handle the deployment process. There are companies that I've been at that have to follow certain protocols for auditing purposes and have to have somebody that's designated DevOps in order to do the deployment. In which case, it requires a little bit more hand-holding or documentation to explain how to do that to somebody who's not in the position like I am who knows how to do it, and you have to explain it to them. I don't think that it's needed or necessary, and it actually hinders the process, especially when we deploy something to production. It doesn't work quite the same in production as it just did in development, and you need to make changes, and it really hinders that process when you have another set of hands to go through.

Maintenance has the potential to be a little bit difficult. That said, I've done big upgrades twice now. For the most part, things have been backward compatible. I haven't had an issue. I didn't need to go back and fix any previous processes that were deployed. I just started using the newer versions of things on new processes going forward and the old ones still ran with no issue whatsoever, it very clearly states things that have been deprecated or things that will be deprecated by a certain date.

With the cloud version, there is not much maintenance required. However, they did just do an upgrade on the cloud. I was not aware that it was coming, and it would have been nice to at least see something on the site to catch your eye, some type of scrolling banner or flashing to tell you, "Hey, this is updated. Click this link to see what the updates are." In the cloud, if you're not using the automation suite, it will just update without you knowing about it, which I'm not a fan of. I understand that's how that works. If you don't have an automation suite, however, I would like to know. Don't make me go search for it. I'm on Orchestrator every day. I'd prefer if they put something there, or put something in Studio so that I know it's coming since the changes did affect us. They had some role and permission changes that affected my developers, and they weren't able to publish anymore, and I had to figure that out. Ultimately, you do have to make sure that you're staying up to date with your studio and assistant.

The pricing is very fair. They have adjusted their pricing model so that several variables and volume base could be one of them. I'm not too sure. A lot of times I'm cut out from those conversations. The company itself has to sign off on contracts or make the decision on that. That said, it's my understanding the pricing is very fair for what they give you. You see your benefit and the return from it quickly.

I'm a developer and an architect.

The ease of usability and implementation for UiPath as well as the wide array of products that they have to support their automation journey make it a great product. The amazing support they have is great. The community that they have is bigger than all the other options, so you're going to find more resources when it comes to needing help with any type of issue. I'd advise those considering the product to look at the ratings and pertinent reports to get an overview of who's the best.

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

Oracle has three broad categories: HCM, PPM, and finance. I have used UiPath to automate mainframe applications. I have automated all types of automation, including ServiceNow processes, PDFs, APIs, and web-based automation.

UiPath has a large number of Java and Python developers. Its modularization of packages for different types of activities and automation is very well done. UiPath also collects suggestions from end users and developers, such as those using the free UiPath software. In fact, UiPath does not release its enterprise edition directly; instead, it releases a free edition for developers to use and provide feedback on the forums. This gives UiPath a significant advantage. Additionally, UiPath has made its tool flexible by building it on the .NET framework but allowing users to also use Java and Python. This gives UiPath another advantage over other tools. I am not sure if other tools offer this type of functionality, but I know that UiPath does because I have used it for a long time.

It can connect systems that don't communicate with each other, enabling us to share data between systems using bots, which is important in the healthcare industry.

The application that was built for our organization is not capable of handling millions of users because it is very old. We must consider the Citrix application, the mainframe applications, and the desktop applications, which are also old. They were not designed to handle millions of customers. For example, CVS Pharmacy has millions of people using its applications on a regular basis. Therefore, we cannot expose that application to customers. We need to build a new client-facing application, but we cannot discard our existing application, which has been in our organization for many years. UiPath helps our applications communicate which improves our patient experience.

It helps our staff easily share data between systems by saving the information in Excel or CSV files and connecting the files to new applications.

We use UiPath to consolidate patient data from multiple sources into a single dashboard, which helps our doctors keep track of patient histories in one place.

The single dashboard helps our patients a lot because we save patient information in the same way for all hospitals including doctors, nurses, and medicines. This means that if we need a doctor nearby, want to change doctors, or are moving to a new city and need medical help, our data can help us find the right resources.

UiPath automation has helped our staff save time, especially for invoicing insurance policies in healthcare organizations. UiPath automation has saved millions of dollars and thousands of hours by simplifying the process in both the healthcare and telecommunications industries.

UiPath has streamlined tasks for our healthcare staff, especially data viewing, enabling them to focus on higher-value activities.

We use UiPath's AI and machine learning capabilities to understand documents. The machine learning process has significantly improved the accuracy of the bot's ability to read data from PDF files.

In 2019, UiPath introduced Computer Vision activities for Citrix applications. This was a major turning point for the company, and the functionality was very useful; I had not seen it in any other tools.

The OCR engine is a valuable feature.

UiPath should lower its prices because many other RPA tools have reduced their prices, and Microsoft is a major competitor because it offers RPA services to its customers.

I have been using UiPath for over five years.

UiPath is generally stable, but there are bugs in UiPath Studio that require fixing or restarting the application.

UiPath is scalable.

The technical support is good.

I previously used Blue Prism automation, but at the time, the functionality was limited and there were not many features.

The initial deployment is straightforward. We have some design methods. The dispatcher will handle input, the performer will perform the tasks. All processes will be transactional: our first module will create the transaction, the second will execute it, and the third will generate a report.

We use the CI/CD pipeline to deploy our software. After the software passes UAT testing, we need approval from the technical team before deploying it to production.

The implementation was completed in-house.

UiPath is expensive. Automation Anywhere is much cheaper, and it does not have the same AI and machine learning capabilities or features. However, for some industry cases, such as document understanding and computer vision, these features are not required.

I evaluated Automation Anywhere, which was not mature at the time but is now. I also evaluated Power Automate, which has the best price of all RPA tools and is capturing a large market share due to Microsoft's bundles and integrations.

I would rate UiPath a nine out of ten.

We have thousands of people across the organization using the automation.

UiPath itself doesn't require maintenance but the infrastructure does at times.

UiPath offers a 60 to 90 day trial of its features so that users can try the solution before buying. We can also negotiate with UiPath sales to ensure that we see a return on our automation investment within the first year.

We use UiPath to automate the repetitive reporting tasks in our organization. I am currently using UiPath for five Oracle-based projects.

UiPath has increased our organization's productivity and efficiency and saved us money.

There is a short learning curve. We can learn to use it in one month, compared to other RPA solutions that take three months.

Building automation using UiPath is simple.

UiPath enables us to implement end-to-end automation. First, I build the code based on the customer's requirements and run the code in UiPath. Then, I run the code using an orchestrator on our VM when it is put into production.

The UiPath Community is a great place to find information without having to contact the technical support team.

I am a big fan of the UiPath Academy courses. When I first started using UiPath, I took all of the courses, which helped me immensely. Whenever I need to learn a new UiPath task, I simply go to the Academy courses.

UiPath helps speed up digital transformation and reduce costs.

If we input data into UiPath correctly, it can help reduce human error by 95 percent.

UiPath has helped to free up 25 percent of our employees' time by automating recurring tasks, allowing them to focus on other tasks.

It has helped our organization save around 30 percent of our organizational costs.

UiPath is user-friendly. Compared to other RPA tools that require knowledge of a programming language, UiPath requires less coding.

Occasionally, we receive an error message stating that a UiPath element is invalid, even though it should be working. This is frustrating and needs to be addressed.

UiPath needs to improve the selector and offer better integration for Python.

I have been using UiPath for two years.

I would rate the stability a seven out of ten because we sometimes encounter errors.

I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten.

The technical support is good but I usually find my answers using the UiPath Community forum.

The deployment is not complex compared to other RPAs that require knowledge of Python or Java.

Deployment time varies depending on the use case but averages two to three days.

One person can complete the deployment.

UiPath offers two versions of its solution: a free Community edition and a licensed Enterprise edition. The Enterprise edition includes all features and automatic updates, which are not available in the Community edition.

The cost for UiPath is affordable.

I would rate UiPath a nine out of ten.

Basic maintenance is required for UiPath.

We have UiPath deployed in four of our departments including sales, booking, comp, and operations. In my department, we have five UiPath licenses.

We use UiPath to create automation for our clients. The best use cases are the ones where we automate an old system. We had instances where we migrated one customer's data over to another. Until that migration occurred to the new system, we could get an automated solution using the old system.

The product provides better customer service and builds better customer relationships. Customers receive statuses and reports in a timely manner. Instead of somebody constantly sending out emails to customers, automation is doing it for us.

I was doing automation development before UiPath and did everything typically by code. It had its own functionalities. However, when navigating older systems, we can use the solution's user interface to tell the cursor to go to a specific location on a screen. Another functionality also supported by the product is the ability to select the selectors, where we can define a specific attribute to a button and ensure the cursor clicks it. The user interface guide helps speed up automation development for customers. We can also use background code, so we have coding capabilities and a user interface to navigate some of the older systems.

UiPath provides Cloud Robots functionality but they should provide more Cloud Robot integrations. I feel that Cloud Robots must have a very, very strong integration with AWS or some type of cloud service where that integration is almost seamless.

We use a lot of virtual machines. It would be nice if UiPath checks the virtual machines and ensures they perform well. We have run into some performance issues. The product must have better performance checks to determine whether a virtual machine fits the functionality or if something is missing. It would be great to know if we will run into some issues. We will be able to think ahead of it.

I have been using UiPath for more than three years.

The tool has some bugs, and it doesn’t respond sometimes. However, it’s no more unstable than Windows. It is fairly stable.

We’re new to the tool. Around five people are using it in our department. The product must improve its scalability. Our security team hasn't approved the Cloud Robots functionality in some cases. I've noticed that our time gap is getting smaller, and we may need additional virtual environments. That is why I wanted better integration with the cloud. It will allow us to be able to launch virtual environments immediately. We would love it if the product could provide the same scalability that AWS provides. We would love the same type of scalability when integrating cloud functionalities with UiPath. If it needs another environment, another environment must shoot up right away so that we can immediately start working on it.

I haven't used the technical support. When we contacted the other department connected to technical support, we got responses and workarounds within a few days. The support has been decent. The team replies pretty quickly.

The solution is deployed on the cloud. The deployment was straightforward. The deployment was pretty quick. It was done within a few minutes. For my current organization, we need one person to deploy the product. My organization has multiple departments, but I only operate on one.

The solution does require maintenance. While dealing with our websites, some changes or updates are done, and then we make changes to the code.

I chose UiPath because it offered UiPath Community, where I could learn UiPath on my own without a business license. I like the idea that there's community support for UiPath. We can learn and teach ourselves. I like UiPath Enterprise, too. Since they have a community version, it makes learning UiPath much better and easier.

Building automation using the product is pretty easy. Over time, we get better and better through experience and create it more efficiently. Some of the additional functionality released by UiPath helps us enhance our automation. The solution speeds up digital transformation. We transitioned to a brand-new system. As we transitioned, we spent a lot of money on this new system and found there were limitations to the system. We used UiPath to mitigate that cost tremendously.

UiPath enables companies to implement end-to-end automation. Currently, we do not have end-to-end automation. Our company is going through a strong transformation. The processes are still a bit archaic. We use digital transformation to help us do our jobs first. Eventually, this will lead to automating new processes rather than someone else doing it. A bot doing 24/7 automation is better than someone assigned to do it 24/7.

We are not using the product's AI functionality yet. However, we are looking into incorporating AI functionality. The product has freed up a lot of employee time. The solution has saved us more than $ 400 a month in the current project. The solution has reduced human error. A lot of the work that the bots do is tedious, like sending a hundred emails to customers or consolidating reports from five different sources. Mistakes can happen in these processes. The solution has reduced human error in our organization by at least 80%.

I have used UiPath Academy courses. We have also provided our business personnel with the courses so they can see it from the business side to learn UiPath. I like the user community. There are a lot of forums where people post questions and help each other. There are YouTube videos where people share their experiences with certain issues. The community is strong.

The massive improvement from DBA to RPA is the user interface interactions. UiPath has a free community version. I would recommend the solution to others. I've taken training on Automation Anywhere, but I've never been able to touch it because my previous organization decided to keep it only in one department, and our department never received it. I could never use what I studied in Automation Anywhere because it requires business licensing. There was no community version. On the other hand, we can start working on Uipath on our personal computers. We can also use UiPath Academy.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We use UiPath to automate routine tasks in our organization.

Building automation using UiPath is easy.

We have used UiPath to automate sustainable production tasks for some clients. The automation saved our clients time.

The UiPath user community is a place where we can learn more easily.

Since implementing UiPath, it has saved our clients a lot of time.

We can use UiPath Academy courses to learn about the product and apply that knowledge in our organization.

The AI functionality in UiPath enables us to easily improve our more complex automation processes.

The AI functionality has helped us automate more processes.

UiPath has helped reduce human errors by 90 percent in our automation.

UiPath has helped free up 50 to 80 hours per week of employee time.

It has helped us reduce costs by 80 percent by automating routine tasks.

Integration with third-party tools, machine learning models, and document processing are all valuable features.

The price always has room for improvement.

I have been using UiPath for two years.

UiPath is stable.

UiPath is easily scalable.

I previously used Microsoft Power Automate. Although both tools are popular, UiPath is easier to integrate with third-party tools and more accurate.

The initial setup is straightforward. The deployment took one and a half hours.

UiPath's cost is moderate.

I would rate UiPath a nine out of ten.

The maintenance required is minimal.

We have UiPath deployed in one location.

I recommend UiPath.

I am the head of a division of IT that supports clients. We deal with various use cases in banking, insurance, and retail.

It is easy to set up drag-and-drop features to configure workflows.

The product must improve partner enablement and support midmarket partners. It will help mutual growth.

I have been using the solution for five years.

I have used Automation Anywhere. Automation Anywhere and UiPath are equally competing these days. Initially, when UiPath was introduced, there were a lot of differences between the two. However, UiPath overcame a lot of differences, and now it's on par and probably going a little higher than the other platforms.

The time taken to deploy the tool depends on the use cases. Simple use cases can be done in just about a month. Complex ones could take anywhere between two to three months.

The product is not the cheapest. It has an average price.

It is easy to build automation using the solution. A non-technical person can do a little automation themself. However, complicated automation needs a little scripting knowledge. The product reduces the cost of digital transformation and speeds it up. It does not require expensive or complex application upgrades.

UiPath has helped to minimize our on-prem footprint. Our clients in the insurance industry and government agencies are hesitant to onboard a cloud solution. Retail and banking clients are already on the cloud a lot. So it's easy for them to onboard a cloud solution.

The product enables us to implement end-to-end automation. We present solutions for automation to our customers. We need one single platform to support the automation. If a single platform does not support the automation, we might end up including multiple platforms in the solution, which will become complex. UiPath’s single platform helps us to automate end-to-end tasks.

It has freed up employee time. We save quite a lot of FTEs when we implement automation. I am not a single user. We implement the solution to multiple clients. Each use case has its own benefits.

It has saved costs for our clients. The solution reduces human error. It has helped our clients scale the digital workforce. My teams use UiPath Academy courses and get certified on them. When they get certified, I can sell the solutions with more confidence. I can get my team involved at various stages of the sales cycle.

Since we are a partner, I get access to a lot of content as part of the platform. I also have access to a lot of ideas that other users come up with. It is useful. We do not yet use the solution’s AI functionality, but there is scope.

Overall, I rate UiPath an eight out of ten.

I'm using the solution for web applications and for integration.

The solution has improved our organization by improving processes, including documentation processes. We're able to increase our capabilities. We can use it to help us with large projects. Over the years, it's helped put less pressure on the server.

The integration services are quite effective. There are so many integration partners available. For example, we can use the solution with Jira.

It is easy to build automations. We use it to automate processes. We can use the product to automate good causes like sustainable production. However, we work more with web processes as opposed to good causes.

We do use it for end-to-end automation. We can ingest documentation, do a development phase and make our application. It's important to have this end-to-end capability. It helps us gain more knowledge and control.

The user community is definitely useful. If you have any issues or need something explained, you can use the community and gain more knowledge. We can share our knowledge as well. It helps clarify. It helps us interact with other humans to gain insights.

It's helped lower our on-premises footprint. It's important to us to be able to reduce the on-prem footprint. It saves us space. It's helping us future-proof. It helps reduce limitations.

I've used the UiPath Academy courses. We can learn from ourselves, however, it does help. While we don't completely gain knowledge from the Academy, the solution requires users to go through a learning curve. It can show you the basics, and you need to go further by experimenting. I haven't used Academy courses in the last few weeks. It really does help with integrating services and understanding that aspect of the solution, however.

We plan on leveraging AI functionality. We haven't used it yet.

It is helping with digital transformation. We can leverage architecture and different platforms much more efficiently. There are a lot of tools and upgrade versions that we need to go through right now. As we continue digital transformation, it will help make our processes more convenient and make tools easier to use.

It's reduced human error. However, the way our documentation is created, we won't be able to completely remove human interactions in the documents and can't remove human error completely.

The product has been able to free up employee time. We can build and complete a process very fast.

We've noted cost savings when using the solution. We've been able to reduce licenses or move to community licensing.

A lot of implementation is done by UiPath, however, there are parts of the studio we've had issues with. We'd like the upgrades to be a bit easier and more flexible.

I've been using the solution for three years.

The solution is stable.

We have three people using the solution in our organization.

The solution is scalable. We have a lot of applications and different scenarios. We can definitely scale as needed.

If we have a lot of complications we can get support to troubleshoot. They have been helpful overall.

We've also used Blue Prism and Power Automate.

We find UiPath is easier to build on with drag-and-drop functionality.

Implementing the cloud version of the product is easy. Deployment is simple. However, it depends on your environment.

It's helpful to have some knowledge of UiPath. You only need two to three people to maintain the solution. If it's the first time setting it up, it may require more people.

We do the deployment ourselves.

I have witnessed an ROI. We've noted cost savings after implementations.

The pricing can be a bit high. For single attempts at automation, it may be too pricey for a normal person. If you are doing a lot of automation, it's more affordable.

I'm an end-user.

I'd recommend that users implement the solution. It's important to implement it correctly in the organization, however. The technology is far easier to use than other technologies in terms of reducing manual interventions in processes.

I would rate the solution ten out of ten.

My current retail organization uses UiPath for finance-related activities like invoice generation. We also use the solution for pulling documents from any stored devices for customers. We save customer files like licenses, invoices, and other tax-related documents in the box. If customers want to use such files for any purpose, we need to extract them from the box environment. A bot will check for that particular customer-specific file, download it, and save it in client-shared locations.

Transactional details regarding whether a customer has delayed an EMI or paid the EMI on time will be updated in the system. A bot we defined using UiPath will do it around the clock without any human effort.

The most valuable feature of UiPath is the complete queue system-based framework because it is robust for all clients. If something goes wrong, we can define how many retries we can do for a particular request. In the next attempt, it can be achieved in a proper way.

The end users can expect the results without any manual intervention. This framework is very user-friendly, convenient for the developers or system integrators, and satisfies the client compared to other frameworks.

I would like to see more clarity in the solution's AI functionality. I have not completely implemented AI for our client. I'm trying to understand the areas in which AI will be more usable for my client.

The OCR is the only area where I expect a little flexibility and improvement. If you try to extract scanned documents or photos using any native or Google OCR, you won't get 100% accuracy.

I have been using UiPath for more than five years.

UiPath is a stable solution.

UiPath is a scalable solution. UiPath is deployed in one location with around 5,000 end users using the solution.

I also have more than four years of experience with the Blue Prism tool.

The only major difference between UiPath and Blue Prism is that UiPath is deployed in the cloud, and now Blue Prism is trying to be deployed in the cloud. Other than that, I did not observe any differences between the two solutions. Both are good products in the market, and customers are happy with both solutions.

UiPath's initial setup is easy.

Around two people are needed for the solution's deployment and maintenance.

Our customers have seen a return on investment with UiPath and are happy with the licenses, pricing, etc. They haven't raised any concerns so far, and they're increasing the licenses based on the processes we are deploying.

I'm a system integrator and one of the lead developers of UiPath for the end customers.

I use UiPath in the banking and retail industry.

UiPath is deployed on the Oracle cloud.

I would recommend UiPath to other users. The users need to configure the environment in a better way. If an organization wants to utilize only four or six bots, it needs to plan ahead and consider how big it plans to grow in the next five years. Planning in advance would clarify how the organization needs to configure the environment and what challenges it needs to handle. That's a better way to start using UiPath as an RPA tool.

Even before the deployment, we gave an estimation to the end clients regarding what to expect after deploying the solution. We told them about the things they will be very comfortable with and the time interval they will take to know things. They are comfortable and 100% satisfied with the solution.

Overall, I rate UiPath a nine out of ten.

Currently, I'm working with the regular UiPath, but in the past, I've worked with UiPath for healthcare use cases.

My use cases for UiPath vary. I've worked with the banking, renewable energy, marketing, and publishing domains. The most recent use case was for data entry, where my company used SAP applications to create orders for the vendor.

My company also uses UiPath to automate processes that deal with courses, such as environmental, employee diversity, sustainable production, etc.

UiPath is set up in my current organization. My organization takes advantage of the vendor's offer for end users to build smaller automation, which is another use case of UiPath.

Automation through UiPath has improved the quality of work in my organization. Using UiPath helped reduce the overall turnaround time for repetitive tasks. Each staff member can devote time to new tasks or other tasks rather than spending so much time on repetitive tasks.

Implementing end-to-end automation through the solution is essential to the organization because it's cost-effective and time-saving. It also helps boost employee productivity because employees now have the time to learn new things, such as the trends in the market, rather than doing many repetitive tasks that give little value. All these make UiPath beneficial to my organization.

What I found most valuable in UiPath is that it's easier to set up than other tools. UiPath, as a vendor, also provides flexibility, which most companies find attractive in the solution.

I would rate the ease of building automation using UiPath as seven out of ten. The gap in my rating would be eventually filled as my company starts using more AI-based solutions. Overall, building automation is relatively easy in the solution.

UiPath enabled my company to implement end-to-end automation. You cannot automate all jobs or tasks, but the solution does at some level, so I like that it provides further flexibility to automate end-to-end.

As for the UiPath user community and its value to users, that community is vast and provides a lot of learning. Users reach out to the community for any questions or doubts about full development, for example, or anything you want to learn in UiPath. The community also has a morale booster for users through the yearly Community MVP.

UiPath helps minimize our on-premises footprint, though it doesn't matter much to me.

I've taken UiPath Academy courses, and I found UiPath Academy beneficial. Back in 2018, when I just started learning from the UiPath Academy, it gave me everything I needed to start using the solution. Later on, I learned advanced development and, just recently, solution architecture, from which I received a certificate. UiPath Academy also gives me information on the latest updates and trends coming from the vendor.

I'm also working with the AI functionality for automation via UiPath, which affects the ability to automate complex processes. Suppose we have a document, in particular, handwritten. In the traditional way of automation, my bot can't read or understand what's written on that piece of paper. Still, with UiPath, you can select any of these features: Document Understanding, Breakpoints, or Automation. The solution's features give my company flexibility and help extend its reach. Previously, my company thought the use cases weren't feasible because my bot couldn't read or understand handwritten text or characters. Still, with UiPath, it is possible to make life easier, especially with the new advances.

As for the solution's AI functionality enabling the company to automate more processes, my team has not used UiPath in many use cases that require AI, but in the future, when more cases come up, my company will be able to use UiPath more, and it will be beneficial.

I also like that the solution speeds up digital transformation and reduces the cost of the digital transformation. It also doesn't require expensive or complex application upgrades and IT application support. To elaborate further, suppose I'm automating something. I know the application will be upgraded in the next six months; I won't be automating that through my tool because I know it'll be automatically upgraded in six months. I just need to record my use case involving the website or whichever application.

I also found that UiPath helps reduce human error. A human can make mistakes, but your machine won't if you teach it correctly or give it the instruction properly. If you properly provide your machine with data, it won't make a mistake.

UiPath also helps the organization save money overall.

I'd say UiPath is on the right track now, but I feel some aspects should improve a bit, and the vendor could be working on the aspects in my head right now. Governing components in the solution, such as the Orchestrator, and configuring the robots should be easier. I also feel that the vendor should come up with more offerings or features involving AI.

I've been working with UiPath for about five years.

I didn't experience stability issues with UiPath in my current company, but I did in my previous company, where UiPath was down for some time.

On a scale of one to ten, with ten being the highest in stability, I'm giving UiPath an eight.

UiPath is a scalable solution.

My company purchased a plan where the vendor provides some support throughout the year on whatever UiPath issues the company faces. Getting support is easy, and the team is quite helpful.

I'd rate support an eight out of ten. It's not a perfect ten because the overall turnaround time to solve issues could be improved.

I've worked with other RPA solutions, such as Pega, Power Automate, and Blue Prism, before working with UiPath.

Pega is a legacy solution, so I'm setting it aside. UiPath is far better than Blue Prism. On the other hand, Power Automate is the real competitor of UiPath because it has similar functionalities with the new web apps in UiPath, but UiPath is more lightweight and requires less coding.

I found UiPath simple to set up. The process was very straightforward. As long as I have complete resources and information, I can get it ready in about two hours.

My company implemented UiPath via our in-house team.

I've seen some ROI from UiPath.

UiPath has a very costly AI automation license compared to Power Automate. After discounts, it costs around fifteen thousand euros, while Power Automate gives you the same features for only a thousand euros, so there's a huge difference in the licensing costs. Pricing for UiPath isn't very competitive.

I'm a solution architect who does UiPath consultancy.

UiPath is currently deployed on-premises and on the cloud, so it is a hybrid environment.

One admin is enough to deploy the solution, provided the developer and the responsible teams provide the admin with all the resources. UiPath can be deployed through a single resource only.

The solution only requires a little maintenance to keep it up and running. A more significant challenge only occurs if you have to migrate from one version to another; otherwise, maintaining UiPath is very straightforward.

In my company, UiPath is deployed across the globe in multiple countries.

I'd advise others looking into implementing UiPath that it is the best tool to automate repetitive tasks. Whether to use UiPath on the cloud or on-premises depends on your environment. For just a few use cases that you want to automate, go cloud-based, but if you have more than ten use cases, I suggest you go on-prem.

I'd rate UiPath an eight out of ten as a solution.
