User interface streamlines task automation and improves efficiency
akaBot made a noticeable difference at Wika because it is lightweight and easy to use, and moreover, akaBot has a forum to answer many questions. The ease of use stands out because the design of akaBot is very friendly. The best features that akaBot offers in my experience include the UI automation in the browser or in the Windows application. What I appreciate most about the UI automation in browsers or Windows applications is the auto-generate selector in a browser and Windows application. This feature makes a difference because it reduced most of the time developing the bot.

Significantly reduces manual effort and improves team workflows through automated ticketing
We've used Agent Builder, IXP, and Maestro for orchestration. We have created context-grounded searches or chatbots using context grounding, and we also use context grounding within an Agentic flow where a bot or agent reads ServiceNow tickets to determine whether it has been assigned to the right work group. If it has not been assigned correctly due to human error, it automatically reassigns it to the right group. I would assess Agentic AI's ability to extract data points as effective. We created an agent for the purpose of extracting data, though not in a document. We created what we call an email conversation agent that engages with a customer, vendor, or someone in an email conversation with a set goal of extracting specific data points for an action to be performed subsequently. The one automation we have deployed in production involves the agent interacting with team members to collect data points and create a ServiceNow ticket. We appreciate almost all features of UiPath Platform, with one of the most successful ones being the use of Coms Mining. Most of the new features related to AI have all been good, and we use Agentic. We have already created a few agents and have started to use Maestro for a few flows, though we are not yet there to orchestrate an end-to-end workflow. We have good ROI from the automations we have developed with UiPath Platform, which far exceeds the investment in the platform. It has saved us tens of thousands of hours in manual effort, making the team members happy to pursue other things of value.

Pros

"akaBot made a noticeable difference at Wika because it is lightweight and easy to use, and moreover, akaBot has a forum to answer many questions."
"The cost is affordable, and it fits our requirements."
"In terms of the ease of building automation, from what I've seen, I'm very impressed. We're using a partner. We built the COE and everything that they're developing right now. Obviously, we're just starting down this path. This means we're going to go work with a partner while we're developing our own guys. We can get to market quicker."
"The main focus was improving efficiency. Once you focus more on redundant paths, having a bot doing it over and over again, that eliminates human error every now and then. There is definitely a huge ROI in that. Our main focus was low-hanging fruit. By low hanging fruit, I mean the redundant processes that users are just annoyed by when they go in every day and have to do it. There has definitely been a huge ROI because we are trying to free up a lot of the project managers for construction to do more focused stuff there rather than job cost details."
"As an implementor, we appreciate the rich feature set of UiPath and the strong training provided."
"We've been in production for about two months, and we have seen tremendous ROI."
"UiPath helps us to implement end-to-end process automation starting with process analysis through to monitoring, and this is very important to us."
"UiPath has good recording features that help to create automations."
"With the automation we've had so far, we're probably in the 20 to 30 FTE savings range so far."
"Every project we've delivered that has some sort of time savings to it has had an intrinsic ROI."
 

Cons

"I used UiPath before akaBot, and I think UiPath has more features than akaBot."
"If they can provide more intelligent automation, it would be beneficial."
"UiPath needs to incorporate French and Portuguese language-based training. It is not easy for people without an IT background."
"The Community Edition is not stable, so end-users working on the Community version may find some errors or issues when using this tool."
"I would like it to be more user-friendly."
"I would like to see more machine learning features and capabilities for more accurate OCR."
"Sometimes things don't pick up right away, however, it is my understanding that they're working on it, and it has improved tremendously."
"Sometimes we get some disconnection issues. This happens maybe 10% of the time."
"I found the UiPath Academy courses to be a bit rigid in their curriculum."
"The UI and processes sometimes freeze, so it would be good to see some improvement there. The system configuration and internet speed also have some impact on this."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"On a scale of one to ten, with ten being the highest, I would rate the price as an eight out of ten."
"Compared to other RPA tools, UiPath is a much more expensive solution."
"UiPath is a pretty expensive tool compared to what the market offers, including open-source alternatives that can do similar things."
"The licensing is close to optimum; however, there is room for improvement in both the cost and flexibility of the licenses."
"UiPath's cost is acceptable."
"It's the same as what you would see on any of their list prices. There is also a corporate discount because of scale. Overall, we think it was a competitive price offering. They were the cheapest out of the three, so that's why we went with them."
"It is expensive. Every product or component is built separately. All the components have a separate fee. UiPath Studio has a license cost. The cloud has a license cost, and bots have a license cost. These costs are recurring on a yearly basis. So, every product or component has to be licensed for a year, and on expiry, you have to renew it. Their licensing structure should be improved. The cost of a bot is a lot. It is more expensive as compared to some of the competitors. It is probably $8,000 for an unattended bot."
"We license the product on a yearly basis and it costs us around $80,000."
