Rusty Bradford

Director Digital Customer & Digital Experience at a transportation company with 1,001-5,000 employees

The support team was great, but we had to rely on them too much because it lacks a drag-and-drop interface and everything is hard coded

Implementing new automations could be more seamless. It was challenging to build within, so we were highly dependent on Infosys developers. They had us over a barrel with that. AssistEdge isn't a simple tool like Blue Prism or other RPA solutions with configurable items that you can drag and drop. This involved a lot of hard coding, which posed two challenges. One, we did not have that skillset, so we depended on Infosys. Two, it's a beast to go back and update or make changes when things are hard coded because you can't just move those configurable items back around.

RPA Architect at Symrise

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 user interface is not complicated, even for new users. Two to three weeks is enough to get ahold of it."

"The feature I like the most is the ability to capture elements easily, especially when automating web-based applications. Additionally, I find the SAP connectors to be quite beneficial."

"The tool follows a role-based working model to create things. It helps to track what others are doing with the system."

"AssistEdge made it so that the reps didn't need to maneuver through 10 or 20 different systems. We tied all that together in the background, so the reps had a shared UI, and everything else happened in the background without their knowledge. When they were retrieving data, it was done in the background through automation and pulling up to that generic UI layer"

"Good email automation and XL automation."

"The most important feature of all is the UiPath community and the forums, as they have helped me with countless questions!"

"UiPath reduces human error. That is one of the main reasons why automation is done for customers."

"REFramework... is a pre-defined template built with proper exception handling and logging activities. Those aspects help developers to develop code properly."

"Robotic process automation is one of the most interesting features."

"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."

"The most valuable features include multi-bot architecture, UiPath Studio, and Test Manager."

"Our consultants have been able to go through the training videos and pick up the ability to build their own automations."

"UiPath has a very good user interface, and the automation is a great feature. New users can easily understand UiPath."

Cons

"Lacks integration with third party tools."

"AssistEdge isn't a simple tool like Blue Prism or other RPA solutions with configurable items that you can drag and drop. This involved a lot of hard coding, which posed two challenges. One, we did not have that skillset, so we depended on Infosys. Two, it's a beast to go back and update or make changes when things are hard coded because you can't just move those configurable items back around."

"In my opinion, areas for improvement in this solution lie in handling documentation, especially when dealing with data from various layouts or formats like scanned PDFs. Currently, new features are emerging in other tools, like generative AI, that could enhance these aspects."

"The tool's alternatives work on drag-and-drop functionality without creating custom code. We don't have an in-built queue system and use RabbitMQ for it. The solution also doesn't have a framework."

"There should be more activities like extraction for reading or converting PDFs. There are fewer activities compared to other tools. There are no custom activities."

"I have had issues with the selectors. I face problems during image capture, and I need to update them. It is not something that I can rely on."

"It would be good if the product could work locally, without depending on the internet, as connectivity issues can cause problems."

"It needs to be easier to use with more low code."

"The interactive selection could be more accurate."

"Providing a great product at the wrong price without consideration to the economic conditions of the markets within which it is being offered, creates barriers and another product is sure to fill the void."

"UiPath support needs to be a bit quicker than it is currently."

"I would like better stability and possibly some tools to determine why robots are failing."

"Its deployment is easy but there is a learning curve in the beginning. Its onboarding isn't easy, and there is no onboarding guidance. They need to take more care of the onboarding guidance and improve it. It is user-friendly for me and for most people, but for people who have zero programming knowledge, it is hard. They have to turn to the community and other places for knowledge."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is cheaper compared to other RPA tools."

"UiPath's pricing and licensing have been reasonable and manageable for us. Despite challenges in constantly monitoring SharePoint folders, UiPath has worked well within our resources. We have a fully dedicated, unattended license for our invoice processing, which needs to be a top priority and is always running throughout the day. We have another one for all of our other scheduled automations, and we've been pleased with that so far."

"UiPath is expensive."

"It is cheaper than Microsoft Power Automate and saves us between 50 and 70 percent on costs. UiPath's pricing is moderate and something everyone can afford."

"This solution is priced less compared with other products."

"The investment is relatively small compared to the potential in qualitative and quantitative benefits that can be achieved."

"UiPath has several modules that we would like to use. They will enhance our installation, but they are very costly."

"The cost of UiPath is reasonable."

"If you want to do a demo trial, it is a 30 days free."
