Reliable and easy to use with good dashboards
The Excel processing is very useful to us. The tool that I'm using has all be Excel functions, however, in the current version that is Automation 360, there are a lot of options. They have Excel basic packages where you can open and just do crude operations, like create, update, delete, or, in a higher package, there are lots of functions that offer filters, macros, clips, whatever you want to run. The version that I'm using, 11.3, has a limited Excel functionality. It still works, however, the new version that they have deployed, A2019, and the latest one, Automation 360, have a lot of functions. They have proper logging mechanism and also we can check whatever we are doing and they enable and disable list debugging feature. It is very easy, simple. You're working on a notepad, and you don't need to know programming to work on this. The dashboards are quite good, especially on the latest versions. The solution can scale. Technical support is quite helpful. For the most part, the initial setup is straightforward. We've found the solution to be stable.

Offers seamless integration, and end-to-end automation, and reduces our on-premises footprint
UiPath integrates seamlessly with our existing products. Leveraging its AI capabilities, we're identifying new use cases. Additionally, UiPath offers a "bring your own model" approach, allowing us to utilize machine learning models from other vendors if needed. UiPath enables end-to-end automation. As a team of six developers, we rely heavily on the UiPath user community for answers to our questions. UiPath helps us significantly reduce our on-premises footprint. It provides an automated touchless environment that we use in the administration and finance departments to automate a portion of our business processes. We incorporate UiPath Academy courses into our developer training program to ensure they achieve specific certifications. For instance, all developers must obtain the professional UiPath certification. Each year, we prioritize which modules to target based on relevant use cases. We use AI functionality in our automation. Communication mining and task mining are AI components of UiPath. UiPath helps speed up and reduce the cost of digital transformation. It helps reduce human error and frees up our staff time to focus on other tasks. UiPath has helped save us costs overall.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution has very good processes. It's very easy to deploy and has good reviews on it. It offers good automation and the solution has very good developers working on it."
"The best aspect is the UI, as it is very user-friendly."
"Automation Anywhere provides a very flexible UI."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The solution has been very user-friendly."
"BotFarm is an easy solution to use and the interface is better than older versions."
"What I like most about BotFarm is that it's one of the leading RPA products in the market. Very few products focus on robotics today, so I like that BotFarm offers a lot in terms of what general customers expect it to do."
"Automation Anywhere has good document extraction features where it can learn patterns."
"The tool's most valuable features are document processing and AI Center."
"Regarding the ease of building automations, I'm not sure how it's done because I'm not a programmer myself, but it's great. Just looking at how fast they moved once we had the program settled in — it was quite fast. For this particular process, which is assembling a document, talking to DocuSign, sending out emails, and so on, the deployment of production was like "today." It was quite quick."
"It's also very easy to use. There is a lot of drag-and-drop. There are many different ways to complete a solution. For example, if we're trying to manipulate Excel data, sometimes one solution will be really slow and ineffective, but UiPath gives us the ability to find multiple ways to do the same thing that completes the same solution much more quickly."
"Building automation using the solution is easy."
"The training available in UiPath is really awesome and the material makes you automation-ready so that one can work on real-time projects."
"Our usage is very simple. We have been getting the text, parsing it, and trying to categorize and analyze it. We are not using it fully, but the OCR is very important."
"Transformational processes are well managed, including exceptions, so that adds to the stability. Also, you can scale out from one bot to tens of thousands, so automation is quite easy with UiPath."
"UiPath is a leading platform for end-to-end automation, offering advanced capabilities for streamlining workflows."
 

Cons

"One aspect that can be improved is the accessibility of reusable components for developers. It relates to role-based access and accessibility."
"I would definitely be wanting to see OCR features for improving the solution."
"I would like to see more process mining features to give us insight into them before we develop automation."
"We do have some troubles with the internal software commands, but we have been troubleshooting this bug to fix it."
"The machine learning needs to be improved so that they perform better in terms of predictive analysis and sentiment analysis."
"Normally we need to monitor the solution using an AWS console and the control room. We would like to have a standardized dashboard to see all the information in one place."
"The user experience could be made a little better with this solution. I find it difficult to find qualified people to be able to use the solution."
"I have called customer service three times and the experience has not been good. They do not offer 24/7 support, which forces us to wait till the next working day to solve a problem."
"With Excel applications, it is not able to handle a lot of pop ups. It should be able to do this automatically. We just change the format of the file from XLSX to XLS, but it should be able to handle this automatically. Instead, when something pops up, it gets stuck there. This type of thing are small, but still the process gets stuck. I would like to see better integration of applications to avoid these issues."
"The combination of Orchestrator and Studio is a bit on the higher side, price-wise, for some companies."
"I like the classic experience for developing, and as a developer, I am used to it, but they are going to the modern experience with selectors and other things. It might have certain advantages, but I do not like it."
"We can not exceed ten records in the UiPath database because the UiPath architecture will become extremely slow and not respond."
"The support team could be more responsive and helpful."
"There is a very steep learning curve for business users."
"We used AI to predict the data modeling and report structure, but it wasn't accurate all the time. It's an evolving functionality, and I hope that it gets corrected over the course of time. The basic functionality is on par with any other software in the market, but it's not helpful for simplifying complex workflows and modules."
"Support could use improvement. It's always a struggle to engage with them. We have a very tight relationship with support, but when things are in hot water, everyone wants to fix it right away which doesn't always happen."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay approximately $15,000 USD per year."
"The licensing is on a monthly basis."
"Pricing for this solution can be better."
"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."
"An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."
"Our licensing costs are approximately $3,000 USD annually."
"The pricing model could be simplified."
"The solution prices are expensive. It would be more beneficial for customers to lower the pricing."
"UiPath gives pretty good discounts."
"UiPath is reasonably priced for being a leader in the market."
"There are some automations that save us thousands of hours monthly. These are automations that we run 24/7 as well as some automations that we run every five minutes for installing backups."
"UiPath pricing is high and sometimes it's quite complicated as well, because there are loads of components and loads of product portfolios."
"Its price is fair, but I would prefer it to be lower."
"Comparatively, UiPath's pricing is higher than other tools."
"Go download it, install it, and play with it. You can't do this with any of the other platforms."
"From a cost perspective, unattended robots are better."
