Offers enhancement in data accuracy with low-code requirements and easy onboarding
It's a scalable product. In our organization, we sometimes write a script once and reuse it several times, which improves workflow efficiency. Our team inputs the datasets one by one or in a batch mode into BotFarm and schedules them or calls individually as needed. For instance, if one individual has 15 or 20 forms that need to be scanned and logged immediately, it's possible to implement with BotFarm and its scheduling operations. The solution is ideal for small and medium-sized enterprises and can fit in for large enterprises as well, depending upon the use case. For instance, if 100 agents are working across different locations through a mobile app, all the data from the agents can be stored in a common repository and scheduled. BotFarm can be configured based on the architecture and business operations.

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

"The solution seems to offer high stability. We haven't seen any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"The best aspect is the UI, as it is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which helps to provide a good user experience."
"The ability to drag and drop various components and the customizability are good features."
"Automation Anywhere has good document extraction features where it can learn patterns."
"The most valuable features are the portals for extracting data from PDF files, appending data to SAP, automating the SAP, downloading reports, and mapping and creating the reports accordingly to your requirements."
"BotFarm is an easy solution to use and the interface is better than older versions."
"The record option and the OCR technology have been great."
"I appreciate the orchestration capabilities and document processing integrations."
"Every project we've delivered that has some sort of time savings to it has had an intrinsic ROI."
"The most valuable feature is that it can be integrated with almost anything. We use in-house applications and we're able to integrate them through the database using endpoints and APIs. This sharing of information between systems via UiPath means our staff gets results quicker."
"The AI capabilities are the most valuable feature because it reduces human error so we can easily maintain our pipelines and we have a 99.99 percent output early."
"We're able to handle some of our tax and HR processes, the volumes of the documents or new hires at a tremendous speed compared to how we used to do it manually in the past."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the training that is available."
"I am able to get answers on issues regarding UiPath in the Forum and I can also automate faster because of the reusable components available in UiPath Go!"
"UiPath is a strong brand."
 

Cons

"The solution doesn't have support like they used to. They need support. We have personnel of our own, but sometimes we need assistance beyond our own team."
"I would definitely be wanting to see OCR features for improving the solution."
"We do have some troubles with the internal software commands, but we have been troubleshooting this bug to fix it."
"The new version is not very stable. Sometimes I can't use the recording sound."
"The solution can improve the accuracy of hand-written data reading"
"It would be ideal if the solution offered more language options, such as Arabic."
"The CL command poses an issue during the process of data conversion, accuracy, data loss and the assessment of certain data as false."
"One aspect that can be improved is the accessibility of reusable components for developers. It relates to role-based access and accessibility."
"The Academy classes could be improved. There should be a portal for use cases. There should be more business examples."
"The pricing for Orchestrator and unattended robots could use improvement. If we plan to roll out and implement more robots, then perhaps lower costs on Orchestrator and unattended robots would make adoption even easier."
"The initial setup started off as straightforward, however, it can easily get complex. For example, not knowing the other applications and what it takes to interact with them will make things a bit more complicated."
"I would like better stability and possibly some tools to determine why robots are failing."
"Having a tool that can assess the entire workflow of an automation created by someone would be highly beneficial."
"I'd like to see the ability to operate in a non-persistent environment. Other than that, I'd like to see more intelligence being built in. We aren't using any intelligence yet, but we'd like to."
"The UiPath Community Edition lacks some key features that developers find essential for learning and building their knowledge base before transitioning to the paid Enterprise Edition."
"They could provide much more premium, quicker customer service. I'm from India and the customer support team is elsewhere. There's a time difference and, whenever I post a query or ask them for help, the response is delayed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am very happy with the pricing."
"The solution prices are expensive. It would be more beneficial for customers to lower the pricing."
"It is too expensive and not worth the price."
"Its price is quite high as compared to other solutions, but it has a lot of features and good stability. They should reduce its price."
"Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than Blue Prism and UiPath in terms of cost."
"The pricing model could be simplified."
"Licenses are paid on a yearly basis and the cost is quite high."
"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."
"One of the downsides to UiPath is the cost of the enterprise version. It is a little bit on the higher side."
"UiPath is quite expensive and whatever additional components you want to use will have additional costs."
"The downside of UiPath is always the price because it's the most expensive platform. However, it is the fastest and most reliable."
"The solution isn't very expensive."
"The cost for UiPath is affordable."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The vendor gave us a 30-day money-back guarantee. We were fine with that. We saw improvement during that time and kept the solution."
"The pricing is reasonable."
