Featured Reviews

BhargavJotva - PeerSpot reviewer
An RPA tool to automate functions, tasks, and processes that also allows users to do coding from the scratch
The initial setup of AutomationEdge was satisfactory for our company. For deployment for a large process, it will take around two months to develop the process. Else, it can be done in fifteen days. My organization gets to automate the banking processes using the solution. There are different requirements for different departments. Finance departments need something to automate their processes, and the requirements may vary for the information management department. There is a different type of automation requirement if there are some secretive documents that we have to keep on triggering mail.
Michael-Peters - PeerSpot reviewer
Improves accuracy and has the easiest interface and good scalability
Orchestrator needs an overhaul. They have added so many functions that it is sometimes quite hard to find the right settings. They have a tree hierarchy with the host and the tenant. Some settings you do on the host, and some settings you do on the tenant. You need to know at which level you are to find what you need. It all looks very same. The other thing that I have been telling them for years is the width of the activity. You cannot change the width. I do a lot of training to show something, and I constantly have to go into the advanced editor to show what is in there, but the big thing right now is Orchestrator.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It helps us with cost optimization and easy implementation."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support of the solution a nine out of ten."
"It is a valuable tool for developing efficient solutions, especially in finance and banking."
"The ability to automate our processes with external plug-ins and zero code is the most valuable feature."
"The support from the vendor is very good."
"The chatbot that they have is most valuable. It is one of the best features because they own it, and they don't need to integrate with other parties to have a chatbot. This is one of the main features. The rest of the features are common to all RPA tools or vendors available in the market."
"The studio design is fine compared to other similar products. There is nothing extraordinary about it, but at the same time, there are not any negatives."
"We can quickly adapt to our end users."
"The UiPath Academy was pretty helpful for us in the initial stages."
"It's very user-friendly."
"Attended Bots have been star cases as it totally removes dependencies of user literacy to know the application."
"We use it in a very large way across the company. Last year, we implemented approximately 22 processes and saved close to 80,000 hours total. This year, we have already saved close to 6000 hours."
"It has a lot of features, but the ones that I'm really interested in and focused on are the Automation Hub and the Task Capture tool that they have created. Automation Hub helps you in gathering a lot of ideas, and Task Capture helps subject matter experts in capturing the step-by-step processes. It helps them build their SOPs or a document system wherever it is not already available."
"The most valuable features of UiPath are Excel automation and web portal automation."
"The most valuable feature is definitely the document understanding."
"I can also implement end-to-end automation and that means that business owners can hand off these processes and focus on more high-value work. That gives them back hours as well."
 

Cons

"There are some shortcomings in the product's stability that need improvement."
"They could provide more technologies for IT and security to enhance machine learning capabilities."
"In the future, they should have a similar version for the cloud and on-premises, and the installation should be flawless within few minutes."
"AutomationEdge's ecosystem has shortcomings and needs improvement. When we compare AutomationEdge to other RPA tools in our company, we find that it has a very minor online community."
"With other automation solutions in the market, we can simulate the process in our notebooks where the solution creates the code for us, but with AutomationEdge we can't do this."
"It's not an intuitive tool."
"AutomationEdge's primary issue is its price point, especially compared to other products."
"The price of the solution could be improved."
"The data extraction has room for improvement."
"There's some latency when changing from one page to another, so that could be improved."
"The developer studio could be improved. There have been glitches, but it has improved from year to year."
"The licensing process is complicated and needs to be improved."
"Ease of use could be improved. The newer features are easy to use and positive additions, but there is room for improvement, specifically of the UI console for the developer."
"The IDE could use some improvement, but most improvements that come to mind have already been announced for release."
"The operations need to be improved."
"UiPath could gain a lot more customers if they lowered the price a little and improved the license model with some more affordable tiers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is available at the lowest price."
"The licensing for this solution should have a more competitive pricing model. The price is in the top five of similar products."
"Price-wise, AutomationEdge is pretty affordable, making it not so expensive when you compare this with other tools in the market."
"Pricing can be made better. Currently, I think the pricing is based on the market. The pricing also depends on the business partners that offer you the solution."
"It is expensive but its value can justify the cost."
"If you are looking for a budget solution, you can consider AE. It has all the features. Scaling it is way easier because of the cost itself."
"I give the price of the solution a nine out of ten."
"There is no additional cost apart from the standard licensing. There is a one-time cost for the infrastructure setup."
"The pricing and licensing costs seem okay to me, although it is a little bit on the high side."
"Go download it, install it, and play with it. You can't do this with any of the other platforms."
"I am using the free community version. The enterprise version is obviously a little expensive."
"I am using the Community version in my office and personally."
"It used to come at a high cost, but now it's more budget-friendly."
"The solution's pricing is a challenge. Every time I go to renew my contract, the prices increase. It is getting expensive."
"The pricing is good compared to other software. Based on the features that UiPath is providing, and the community support, the price is reasonable."
