Datamatics TruBot vs UiPath comparison

"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward and easy to use."

"Ability to calculate the ROI on the jobs that are running."

"The solution is inexpensive compared to many other solutions in the market."

"The Orchestrator is most valuable because we get work periodically throughout the day. It'll ebb and flow. We have really tight SLA, so we're able to have bots on demand. As soon as work shows up, the bots are picking it up."

"The tenant concept, where you can have everyone working in their own space, is valuable."

"The most valuable features of UiPath are the user-friendly UI and manageable learning curve."

"The bundling of the offerings into UiPath is quite important, so we don't have to go to several different vendors. We can try it out on our own and see if this is something we want to do. Then, we might bring in another partner or vendor to do some specialized training, debug the networks, etc. We're never going to get that capability ourselves. We don't have a large IT department nor do we have data scientists. For us, it's important that one or more of these skills are getting baked into the system."

"We like the RPA style and constant data flow. It keeps working when our employees aren't."

"We're just starting to use UiPath now, but the automation process which reduces human intervention is the one we like most."

"UiPath Orchestrator is a valuable feature for us. We started with all attended bots without Orchestrator, on-premises or on the cloud. It was almost like a very low-cost way to prove that we needed this technology and that we could use it. So, for our first year we did that. For the second year, we got Orchestrator, and it has given us the ability to utilize the bots more effectively. I thought we were going to have more attended bots, and we didn't because the process owners wanted things to happen in the background and wanted to be able to schedule them. Being able to do that and not have to have someone worry about triggering the bot or babysitting the computer while the bot runs, etc. has been the biggest gamechanger for us."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the unattended robots because I can schedule my jobs and it can run on its own."

"Would like to see more additions to the library."

"The stability of the product has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."

"There is a learning curve, and some training could be included to bring users up to speed."

"One area that could be improved is how we access the UiPath Academy courses."

"I would like a new feature like some sort of generic interface or input where other UiPath users can examine our product or our situations and help us fix them."

"When the Orchestrator got upgraded and UiPath didn't get upgraded, we started getting errors regarding the managed packages; the packages were not getting upgraded."

"The on-prem orchestrator was an issue for us."

"I'm not sure if UiPath completely supports Slack automation. I've seen tutorials that show you can automate in Slack, however, I've had some real problems with the process."

"They could focus more on UiPath Studio. I would like to see them add more features for developers who have a deeper understanding of programming languages."

"There are bugs here and there. My only complaint is that each time we open a new ticket, we get someone new and have to explain how everything is set up all over again."

"There are a lot of solutions in UiPath where we have to know some programming languages. I'd like to cut some of that out, with features that perform those tasks without having to know programming languages. I work a lot with my team members who don't really know programming that well, and I have to walk them through how to do different coding things to effectively develop their RPA."

"The tool is expensive."

"I can't speak to the exact price, however, recently I heard in a meeting that one license for Studio Path costs 2,825 Euros per year. This price is approximate and may fluctuate."

"I hope in the future the costing will be trimmed down, especially on Studio."

"The cost of UiPath is much less than that of Blue Prism. They've been very flexible and willing to work with us with our new contractors we just signed on. It's worked out well."

"The licensing makes sense, but it does lead to a few adoption issues when a lot of the licenses are per user. Convincing some of our business units to pay for user licenses for either Action Center or attended robots can be a roadblock."

"UiPath's cost is moderate."

"It is very costly to implement RPA. However, I think the benefits outweigh the costs over a long-term period."

"Its price is on the higher side as compared to the other players in the market. They are tying up with a lot of other products such as Druid, but they are independently also very expensive. That's what the customers say when we start giving them options of UiPath."

"UiPath is costly compared to Power Automate Desktop, but if you want to do most things, UiPath helps a lot. The more you use it, the cheaper it gets."
