My main use cases for UiPath Platform are in Business Hyperautomation. We are implementers and also the customers.

Each process is different, so UiPath Platform is the enterprise-level platform which helps automate everything, from simple processes to the most complex ones.

For my usage, I find Document Understanding, AI Fabric, Agentic AI, and Process Mining as the most useful features. I use Agentic Automation to bring automation to a more autonomous level by leveraging its ability to integrate people, robots, and AI agents to automate processes.

I use Agentic Automation for level one support, understanding all the issues raised by the client and providing responses to them, fixes to them, and prioritizing them better.

It's very easy to build automations using UiPath Platform. This enterprise-level UiPath Platform has great maturity, has all the functionality there, and has a comprehensive library of courses, which are split into paths.

If you are a business developer or architect, it's easy to learn and understand how to use the platform. The courses are free. They also have the Copilot, which, now with natural language, can help build automations. The solution enables users to implement end-to-end automation.

More maturity on the Agentic AI part and the Maestro would be beneficial; however, it will come with time.

I have been in IT since 2005 and in UiPath specifics since 2019.

In the last years, the latest releases have been very stable from my perspective.

We are able to automate our mundane tasks and we gain many hours back. UiPath Platform helped reduce the time invested by humans in doing business processes. This time is now involved in scaling other processes, so we scaled the operations, either internally as a direct customer or for our clients. The solution is easy to scale.

In some cases, we couldn't understand why the platform behaves in certain ways, and we had to ask for their support. We either contacted their support directly or created an item, and their support team got back to us. For us, the support was acceptable; sometimes it was challenging since we did not operate in the same time zone, which resulted in delayed responses. However, other than that, everything was fine.

I would rate the support an 8.5 out of ten.

We are also using Power Platform in parallel.

We have had internal training. We are on the Fast Track partnership with UiPath, so we learned about the platform from the beginning, and then we implemented it and were already accustomed to what's there.

The deployment process is straightforward.

If you have a great infrastructure engineer, that's enough to handle the implementation. However, it also depends on the security levels in each company. If they have access to everything, they are able to implement. If there are restrictions, it might not be allowed. Still, typically one person is enough to deploy.

If we translate those hours into costs, the tool has helped me to save costs for both me and for the customers.

I did consider the price reasonable. Nowadays, with their latest list price, I'm worried about how they are addressing the market. It seems that they are changing how they want to position themselves.

In one POC, we have used Communications Mining features, however, due to the cost, we did not consider it further to move into production.

On a scale of one to ten, I rate UiPath Platform an eight.

I use this solution to automate processes and do screen scraping, image recognition, and other tasks.

UiPath Platform helps significantly in automating manual tasks. It reduces the workforce and the execution time required for operational tasks, so it provides good support.

The best feature about UiPath Platform is the role-based control access, which I have appreciated the most because whenever we want to implement securities and compliances, we can control the access for the solution.

AI-powered automation, combined RPA with AI, is the second best part, and the prebuilt automation concepts reduce the development time, which is the third best feature I appreciate.

The UI is very user-friendly; if you are not a techie person, you can normally use drag-and-drop flows for a designer in UiPath Platform Studio, which is phenomenal, and when a non-technical person is going to use it, they can learn this particular process in a smooth manner.

Sometimes, regarding the limitations, heavy-level architectures and structures are needed, such as architectural setup required to boost IT support for long-scale automation. The learning curve, while low-code advanced automation is related to AI and ML, requires substantial technical knowledge. There could be some performance issues, such as automation breaking when UI elements change frequently, so these are limitations which I face, and these are the areas where UiPath Platform can improve.

The license pricing is very high, so compared to other competitors such as Automation Anywhere or Power Automate, it could be more competitive if these things were matched with the competitors.

I have been using UiPath Platform for the past three years.

The stability rates at eight out of ten.

The scalability is impressive. Enterprise automation for small and large projects is easy, which is phenomenal.

We have 500 users using the solution.

I would rate their technical support a nine out of ten. Logistic support and integration is quite smooth; every time I required support, the support team was available and provided me with whatever assistance was required.

Blue Prism is one of the solutions that I have used, but it is less flexible for citizen users. The second solution I have used besides UiPath Platform is Microsoft Power Automate.

The deployment was easy. It doesn't require any maintenance.

It has reduced operational times and costs, particularly concerning manpower and the repetitive time needed to establish any process. It has positively impacted us and provided us with excellent solutions with phenomenal processing time. This was precisely what I needed.

It is expensive and not competitive compared to other competitor tools.

I have been using UiPath Platform for the past three years, and my experience is quite good with these process automation tools; I highly recommend this.

Users can utilize it because the UI is very simple and easy to use for non-technical persons. It helps overcome all the limitations, and the stability is very high, so it is reusable for multiple processes and purposes. I recommend all users to use it.

My overall rating for UiPath Platform is 8 out of 10.

The best features of UiPath Platform include their document extracting technique and OCR, which are highly effective, as well as their data management and implementation methods. Their exception handling capabilities are particularly strong in this regard. The valuable features of UiPath Studio that have helped in designing automation processes include document understanding to process or scan documents, recent authentic automation that's currently in high demand, and their UI apps integrated with the studio, along with their assistance to trigger the process from the client side.

UiPath Orchestrator has been essential in managing automated tasks for my organization, as it is a must-use feature. Without the orchestrator, I cannot control my project or automation. If I want to trigger the process either by time or any event, I have to use the orchestrator to check the status of the jobs running and the output. Additionally, if an exception occurs, I can only see it on the orchestrator; it is a crucial component, as without it, I cannot monitor my jobs.

The best features of UiPath Platform include their document extracting technique and OCR capabilities. UiPath Studio has been valuable in designing automation processes through its document understanding functionality, authentic automation capabilities, and UI apps integration. The orchestrator has proven essential for managing automated tasks, controlling projects, and monitoring job status and exceptions.

There needs to be more user use cases in their demo, as the current use cases are very basic. They should include moderate use cases with varying difficulty because implementing a project using only simple use cases is insufficient. They have numerous features that cannot be covered completely in their tutorial, so adding instructions and small videos about particular features or assets would enable users to understand how to use these features without requiring additional training from the academy or other portals.

I have been using the solution for three to four years.

Regarding stability, I would rate it as nine because they are updating their features very frequently, which requires us to manage with their frequent releases.

The scalability of UiPath Platform deserves a rating of nine as I haven't encountered any issues in this regard.

The technical support for UiPath Platform deserves ten out of ten. They are available within a given time, and their support is strong, with a very robust community portal from which I can get support directly.

When comparing UiPath Platform with other automation tools such as Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere, and Kofax, I find that in terms of quality and features, UiPath Platform is superior. They have numerous features, and their OCRs can process handwritten documents.

On a scale from one to ten, I rate the overall solution as nine because of its frequent modifications, and developers need to stay up to date with the release documents. What stands out about UiPath Platform is its feature set compared to other tools. I would recommend this product to other users because of its extensive features. While I'm not certain about its cost comparison to others, feature-wise, it is better than its competitors. It offers multiple capabilities that some automation tools don't currently provide, so if the product is within budget, users should opt for UiPath Platform.

I have used it mainly for document understanding and UI interactions. When invoices are being generated, my bot categorizes those invoices, extracts the information from them, updates it in the database, and stores them.

Another use case was the validation of user identity in India. We have government identity numbers and cards in India, so my bot extracts information from those cards while onboarding people onto our HRMS platform. It extracts those details, puts them into the database, validates them, and reflects them back onto the front end.

Our team has been working primarily on AI integration and moving from RPA towards IPA. It has been helping us build a robust system where, instead of just basic logic, we started using AI implementations that can make decisions for our bots and proceed further.

We have developed a process automation system for calculating churn risk. This system is part of our internal product. Whenever we receive support tickets from our clients, we track these tickets to analyze the sentiment behind them. Our goal is to understand what clients are trying to convey and the tone they use in their communications. We conduct sentiment analysis on these tickets to determine whether clients are having a positive or negative experience with us. Based on this analysis, we create a churn risk algorithm to assess whether a client is at risk of leaving us or if they are satisfied with our services. This entire process continuously accumulates sentiment analysis data from the client tickets. If the algorithm indicates potential churn risk, the information is passed on to our support team, allowing them to effectively communicate with and assist the client.

Orchestrator helped us streamline processes. It helps us set up different types of triggers and manage our processes much more easily while also providing source control. UiPath Platform is also super versatile. We can automate pretty much anything we want with it. There are very limited restrictions in UiPath, whereas Power Automate is primarily focused on the Microsoft environment, which restricts our ability to explore beyond that. UiPath allows us to work with various other applications quite easily and effectively.

UiPath Platform is super convenient to work with. Considering it with other automation tools, it is the easiest to work with and most versatile. You can perform all types of automation by using the UiPath Platform.

Reducing the price of the unattended licenses would be very helpful. Other than that, everything is already quite perfect. It would also be beneficial if the demos and new features they introduce were made more accessible to everyone, perhaps in an open-source format, rather than requiring registration and sign-up.

Recently, we worked with the checkout clipboard feature introduced by UiPath. This feature allows users to manually copy data from Excel and paste it onto another application, as it is directly mapped. However, I wish there were activities available in the actual UI part of Studio that we could use for integration. Currently, this feature is only available for manual usage. It would be great if they could develop additional features to enhance the process development experience.

I have been using the solution for about three years.

We have not had any issues with stability.

For scalability, it is quite capable. We developed a process where we framed it to be as scalable as possible. As we bring in new clients, it works quite easily for us to scale it. We started off with 10 but were able to add up to hundreds of different clients. It is quite scalable, and depending on the automation done by the developer, it should be very easy to accomplish.

I faced some issues when I was integrating Python with the UiPath Platform, and the support team was quite fast with their replies. I was able to solve that issue in less than a day. They came in handy when required.

It's quite straightforward. As long as we follow the basic instructions provided by UiPath, it's pretty easy to get it set up.

I had training for a couple of weeks, but even during that time, for installation, we did not have anyone explain the process. We were provided with the link and had to install the UiPath Platform tools. It was not hard for us to navigate through the site and get it set up.

Our company has automated many processes with the license we already have. We are able to get a return on our ROI. Since I am currently working at a startup, they cannot splurge money on licenses. Sometimes it is difficult for our developers to plan and coordinate flows to schedule in a way that would not interfere with other bots' execution. Other than that, it is totally fine and very convenient to work with.

One of the main advantages of the UiPath Platform is its versatility; you can perform virtually any type of automation without limitations. I find it particularly convenient for UI automation because the selectors we use for UI elements work very effectively. I haven’t encountered significant difficulties when working with UI automation in this tool.

In contrast, when I’ve tried using other tools like Power Automate or AutomationEdge, I faced challenges. These tools can make it harder to create dynamic UI interactions, especially since websites are frequently updated. As these sites change regularly, the selectors we configure may not function as consistently as before.

As developers, we strive to create dynamic selectors, but this can sometimes prevent us from delivering the most optimized and effective solutions. Overall, UiPath performs significantly better in this regard compared to tools like Power Automate and AutomationEdge.

People with basic technical knowledge and some experience watching a few YouTube videos can gain an understanding of how UiPath works and how to automate tasks easily. UiPath also has another studio called Studio X, which is a simplified version of UiPath Studio. This makes automation accessible to anyone, not just those with extensive technical skills. So, if some people aren't very technically inclined, they can use UiPath Studio X, which is more user-friendly and makes automation easier.

Since I have worked with it very consistently, it is a very easy tool to work with, and they have many options available. Recently, I heard that people are moving towards Automation Anywhere since the licensing costs are much lower than the UiPath Platform and other automation tools. The drawback I found with Automation Anywhere is that we do not have access to the premium version demo. The demo that we have access to is for the community version, and it is super restricted. Based on my knowledge, I would suggest the UiPath Platform as the best automation tool for any company to start with.

I would rate UiPath Platform a nine out of ten.

My use case for UiPath Platform includes various automations such as web automation, desktop automation, SAP integration, and ServiceNow integrations. I have been involved in multiple developments and completed multiple end-to-end automations.

UiPath Platform has increased efficiency by around 50%-70%. It has helped reduce human error by about 60%-70%, and we even have some healing agents in recent upgrades that automatically identify any changes in UI elements.

The best features of UiPath Platform include its user-friendly nature; since this is a low-code and no-code platform, it is very accessible. Someone with technical knowledge of RPA can simply try downloading some community versions of UiPath and get started. It is very easy and friendly to access, and if you have any questions, the UiPath community and academy-level training are extremely useful for those who are initially unaware of the platform.

UiPath Platform has helped users who have limited programming knowledge, as those who are aware of basic coding can utilize features such as Autopilot, which corrects mistakes. If there is something wrong, it will guide them back on the right track. Users with basic knowledge can try learning through academy-level courses, and many community platforms such as YouTube serve as helpful resources for sharing questions and resolutions.

There are areas within UiPath Platform that could improve. While the interface is user-friendly and features are advanced, further simplification could enhance usability. One improvement could be addressing compatibility issues. Sometimes, when upgrading, users need to downgrade due to version compatibility problems.

I believe they should reduce the certification costs or offer better deals, especially around December or January when people may be interested in discounts.

I have been using UiPath Platform for three and a half years.

I have not experienced any downtime so far. I would rate stability as a perfect ten out of ten. We receive notifications for any potential downtime, so we are prepared for any future occurrences.

The scalability of UiPath Platform is impressive and fits our capacity requirements. Our clients are primarily large enterprises.

Currently, more than 1,000 users in my organization utilize UiPath Platform, and I observe many migrations from other platforms to UiPath due to its accuracy and up-to-date versions.

I would rate the technical support for UiPath Platform a ten out of ten. The support channels are effective, and tickets receive prompt responses.

When comparing UiPath Platform with other solutions I have tried, such as Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism, I appreciate the built-in REFrameworks. Understanding the REFramework allows me to build automations effectively, whereas other platforms lack such built-in frameworks and may lead to mistakes during automations.

I find UiPath Platform to be a bit expensive compared to other platforms, including certifications. Some organizations provide vouchers for free certification, but individuals need to invest their time and money for certifications, making it a bit costly.

It has a high cost, for instance, $150 for basic certification and $300 for professional certification plus GST, while unattended machines cost over $10,000. It is indeed expensive, but I still choose UiPath as the best option overall.

We use both the attended and unattended automation options available in UiPath Platform; during the development phase, everyone does attended automations, such as in debug mode or for testing purposes. When we transition from the development phase to UAT or system integration testing, we use the unattended mode.

The impact of UiPath Platform's analytics on our decision-making processes is significant; it is based on the processing and automation tasks. For example, for web automation, users need to log in, format data, and download files. Using community versions, you can conduct trial runs to see its effectiveness, and based on demo sample workflows, you can take the next steps. I feel UiPath Platform is the best, as I have experience with multiple platforms.

The maintenance requires some effort; typically, a developer focuses on code development, while support teams address issues post-deployment due to UI element changes or interruptions. I'd say if we have five developers, one support person is sufficient, and for maintenance of five to six unattended machines, two people can effectively manage the workload.

Overall, I would rate UiPath Platform a nine out of ten.

I have not yet utilized the AI integration features of UiPath Platform as I am still exploring AI as a whole. I mainly make use of its unattended automation options, while attended automation usage is very minimal.

It has helped significantly in meeting our diverse business needs despite our complex organizational structure.

The code-free automation engine of UiPath Platform has helped users in our organization. The specific benefits I have observed are quick turnaround in developing scripts, integration with various systems, and successful PDF reading capabilities. The success rate is good, and based on that, we were able to deploy the bots quickly.

It has helped significantly in meeting our diverse business needs despite our complex organizational structure.

The main area where UiPath Platform can be improved is the cost; everything else is good.

We have been using UiPath Platform for four to five years.

I would rate the technical support by UiPath Platform as good, giving it a nine out of ten.

We have seen return on investment with improvements.

Based on my experience, I would recommend UiPath Platform to others, although we have evaluated other products which are more affordable. Since UiPath Platform is very expensive, we are exploring other products such as Kofax with their Tungsten Automation and RPA tools. I can also explore alternatives using APIs, mainly due to UiPath Platform's high cost.

I have been generally satisfied with UiPath Platform. Regarding the impact of UiPath Platform's analytics capabilities on our organization's decision-making processes, we are implementing only RPA based on particular process documents, not analytics. We achieved good efficiency gains using UiPath Platform, particularly in terms of improved turnaround time, though specific metrics cannot be revealed.

I would rate the product overall as nine out of ten, with the main drawback being its high cost compared to other products.

We use UiPath Platform for automation. We implemented automation across departments with this solution. We use robots to automate a process.

We handle both attended and unattended automation with UiPath Platform. We do not use any AI integration features in UiPath Platform.

UiPath Platform is easy to use, and the user interaction is good.

UiPath Platform allows for code-free use, but I mostly write code.

The support process of UiPath Platform can be improved. When we get stuck somewhere and need help from UiPath people, it takes considerable time to receive assistance.

I have worked with UiPath Platform for around two years.

I have not experienced any stability issues with UiPath Platform.

The scalability of UiPath Platform is good. We deployed the automation in departments, which helped us save resources, money, and improve quality.

The support needs improvement.

I also worked with Blue Prism. When comparing UiPath Platform to Blue Prism, the main difference is the user-friendly aspect. UiPath Platform is easier to use.

UiPath Platform helps save time, increase performance, and decrease human errors. While quality is not always accurate, time and money savings are significant.

UiPath Platform is a cost-effective tool.

In terms of the learning curve, it was initially difficult but became manageable once we learned the tool and started working with it. It takes some time and effort in the beginning, and then you get the results. It saves a lot of time and also reduces costs.

I would rate UiPath Platform an eight out of ten.

My main use case for UiPath Platform is to build automations on that, mostly to solve our automation use cases.

I have found many features in UiPath Platform valuable, particularly for financial use with its built-in OCR capabilities for document scanning. We have built automation for automatic bill validation using this feature. Document verification features are particularly valuable.

We have implemented AI integration features of UiPath Platform. We have also utilized the analytics component for tasks such as scraping data for product prices and job postings. Based on the fetched data, we have built automation with AI components.

The code-free automation engine of UiPath Platform saves considerable time by eliminating human intervention. All validations and data fetching are handled by UiPath Platform, removing the need for manual automation. The analytics capabilities of UiPath Platform assist in decision-making processes, especially when comparing product pricing from multiple vendors to determine competitive market rates.

In my opinion, while using UiPath Platform for quite a long time now, I don't see many issues, but for a newcomer, the learning curve is somewhat tricky. The documentation exists, but it would be beneficial to have more video resources covering the new UI and AI features for newcomers who are starting with this platform.

I have been working with UiPath Platform for more than three years.

I would rate the stability of UiPath Platform around eight. It is mostly available, but I have encountered errors once or twice in my career. We have reported these to the team, and they provided solutions. When there is downtime, they inform us about the expected resolution time.

For the scalability of UiPath Platform, we initially served a very small scale, but now we have scaled significantly. For our use case, I believe it's scalable, though I'm not certain about its performance in larger enterprises.

I would rate the technical support from UiPath Platform at ten. Whenever we require support, UiPath team provides direct access to a TAM through Slack. We can directly contact the TAM of UiPath, and they work to identify and resolve issues as quickly as possible. The support integration is excellent.

I would rate UiPath Platform's pricing at four. For us, hiring engineers would cost more, and there would be possibilities of human errors. UiPath Platform helps us reduce these issues, which justifies the pricing.

I am working with the code-free automation engine of UiPath Platform. We have implemented a hybrid model for deployment, with some parts on-premises and most in the cloud. We work with a hybrid cloud architecture using AWS, OCI, GCP, and Azure, though I'm not certain which specific cloud handles particular deployments as this is managed by our DevOps or security team.

Overall, I would give UiPath Platform a final mark of nine points.

We use UiPath Platform for automation to reduce manual effort in repetitive tasks.

The UiPath Platform has helped reduce manual effort by almost 70%, as there is no manual intervention needed. We use it for both technical and non-technical teams, including the HR team and Learning and Development team. The HR team sends offer letters to new candidates by filling an Excel sheet with the candidate's name, role, probation time, and package, and the UiPath Platform script takes this Excel input to create and send the offer letter to the candidate's email automatically, eliminating the need for HR intervention.

The best features I appreciate about UiPath Platform are its drag and drop activities and the ability to automate and schedule daily tasks with triggers, which eliminates the need for manual effort. For example, the storage team used to log into a device and take the capacity data to send to clients, but we have automated this process using UiPath Platform, scheduling it with Orchestrator, so logging into the device is no longer necessary, and the mail is sent to clients automatically.

I find that the UiPath Platform's selectors sometimes break if the UI changes, which can be a little frustrating. I wish that the selectors would automatically adjust to changes in the UI, as that would be very helpful. Also, I would want the Orchestrator to have a more user-friendly UI to make it easier to find options for scheduling and tracking logs.

I have been using UiPath Platform for the past eight months.

It is stable. I would rate it an eight out of ten for stability.

It is scalable. I would rate it an eight out of ten for scalability.

Approximately five members in our team are familiar with using the UiPath Platform.

I would rate the technical support of UiPath Platform a nine out of ten.

I only have experience with Automation Anywhere. Compared to Automation Anywhere, the UI of UiPath Platform is different but easier to navigate. I find the drag and drop activities in UiPath Platform to be user-friendly, allowing for the selection of modern activities for advanced automation, while classic activities also suffice for other tasks.

The pricing for the UiPath Platform is reasonable if the company pays for it. There is a community edition available for individuals to learn up to a certain level, but for monitoring and tracking logs, we need the Advanced edition, which is not pricey. If the company covers it, the cost is fine; however, if someone wants to pay for it personally, it can be quite high.

We are considering implementing the AI integration feature in UiPath Platform, but we need more expertise on it. In UiPath Platform, if you have any Python code or API, you need technical expertise on Python scripting to integrate it. Whenever you want to integrate any language with the UiPath Platform, some level of expertise is required.

We deploy the automation using Orchestrator, with UiPath Studio being used for creating workflows. The different editions include Studio for designing automation workflows, Robot for executing processes built in Studio, and Orchestrator for managing and monitoring robots. It takes just one day to deploy automation into the on-premises version of the UiPath Platform. After deployment, we can check the logs the next day to ensure everything is running smoothly.

The solution does not require much maintenance, as any packages automatically update their version, eliminating the need for us to manually update them.

I would definitely recommend UiPath Platform to others because it significantly reduces manual effort. The use of triggers in Orchestrator automates much of the process, and it also provides logs for easy tracking.

My overall rating for UiPath Platform is nine out of ten.

My main use case for UiPath Platform is to automate SAP processes and to do Excel automations with VBA and Python.

In my day-to-day work, those automations look like many processes I do, such as generating invoices for the merchants and invoices for the logistic team.

I don't have anything else to add about my main use case or any other types of automations I've built with UiPath Platform.

The best features UiPath Platform offers include the very easy-to-use UiPath Studio because I can use blocks to make the connection from point A to point B.

The block style interface is helpful for my work because, compared to other tools I've tried, such as Power Platform, UiPath Platform is easier to use as it has many integrations, and I appreciate the UI style and the learning development courses the organization provides to users.

All features are enjoyable to me, and the main feature I use is the Excel integration, which allows me to start the software on my cell phone and run it on VBA which fixes my sheet.

UiPath Platform has positively impacted my organization because the time saved is the main characteristic for me. I take two or three hours to do an automation in VBA only, but with UiPath Platform, I can do this remotely and it's faster than manual input.

I save about two to three hours per day overall due to using UiPath Platform.

I don't find any features or aspects challenging or wish were different; the platform actually gives me all the support and I can use all features easily.

At the moment, I don't wish for anything else regarding needed improvements from UiPath Platform.

I have been using UiPath Platform for about five years.

UiPath Platform is stable for me.

UiPath Platform's scalability works well because it has been able to grow with my needs, but my use is very small at the moment.

I never needed customer support for UiPath Platform.

I don't have any previous experience using a different solution before UiPath Platform.

My main metric for return on investment using UiPath Platform is time saved; I saved about three to four hours per day with the automations.

Before choosing UiPath Platform, I didn't evaluate other options because I used just UiPath Platform since it helped me with my demand.

My advice to others looking into using UiPath Platform is to study the UiPath Platform to use it in the correct way.

I don't have a business relationship with UiPath other than being a customer; I use it for personal use, but I can also do work.

I don't have any additional thoughts about UiPath Platform before we wrap up. I find it useful.

I don't use any other tech products.

I don't think there is anything that needs to change regarding how I found this interview.

On a scale of one to ten, I rate UiPath Platform a nine.
