Allows employees to create and automate workflows and tasks across various applications
We mainly use it in connection with our drug inventories. We use Power Automate to import the files we get from various wholesalers. We also check the prices in our back office. We are a pharmaceutical compounds organization and also get prescriptions. We have a portal where GPs and doctors can…

Powerful analytics and streamlined automation capabilities that enhances operational efficiency and provides invaluable insights through process analysis
It facilitated the automation and streamlining of our financial processes. Using Process Mining for process streamlining wasn't too challenging. We had a UiPath consultant who provided valuable assistance in the initial stages. While there were some difficulties due to the unfamiliarity with certain aspects of the process, we had to uncover specific details. This led to a series of meetings to address these challenges. The communication between our team and the vendor was effective and successful. The end-to-end visibility provided by the Process Mining dashboards is excellent. We can now precisely track the data entering the system, understand the step-by-step processing, and configure outcomes accordingly. This enables us to customize outcomes based on specific needs. Overall, it has been a positive and valuable experience. The capability of Process Mining to transform raw data into actionable information has proven highly beneficial. Initially, it allowed us to identify bottlenecks and areas with redundant work, enabling us to enhance speed and efficiency in various steps. Process Mining's capacity to eliminate bottlenecks across diverse processes precisely indicates the areas that require closer examination and drilling down. For instance, in a recent project, we identified numerous rework and redundant steps. Utilizing Process Mining, specifically NPA, effectively addressed and resolved these issues. This insight was gained through a combination of data mining and process mapping, guiding us to pinpoint where the application of the API would be most beneficial. The extensive transparency that Process Mining brings to our end-to-end processes signals the commencement of a substantial venture for us. We've recently begun delving into the possibilities of data mining. The journey ahead is filled with excitement, and we foresee gaining numerous advantages from it. We conducted a pilot to assess its effectiveness for our specific needs, and now, having received positive results, we have the green light to integrate it into our workflow seamlessly. We've experienced tangible benefits, primarily in terms of time savings, which translates into increased efficiency for the team to focus on other activities. The primary advantage lies in the effectiveness of time utilization, leading to cost savings. Post the initial three months of implementation, we began to witness the positive outcomes and benefits. The capacity of process mining to empower employee decision-making is incredibly valuable. Currently, employees can swiftly access results, enabling them to make real-time decisions with ease. It resulted in a time savings of two to three hours daily, equating to more than a fifty percent reduction.

"The program requires no code making it very easy to implement various functions."
"Its Artificial Intelligence dependencies are valuable."
"The reporting features of ProcessGold are the most valuable. It creates things in a manner by which they can be easily represented to the business. Business can easily understand what actually happened in the process."
"The most valuable feature is the user interface, which makes it easy to use for tasks like configuring resources."
"The solution counts the number of cross-sections at each step of the year which allows you to see all the data to figure out what is happening in the company. You do not need to manually collect data, it continuously updates the data. Overall the solution is easy to use and has dashboards."
"Great user interface."
"We find the solution to be really easy not just for development purposes, but also for its use and ability to be understood."
"Process mapping tool is most valuable tool."
"Its most valuable features are that it is easy to use and to find people who actually do the UiPath."
 

Cons

"We find the solution to be not that user-friendly, and might be using the older version, which really did not have a lot of features, so my review is mostly based on the older version."
"The OCR functionality needs to be improved."
"Enhancing Power Automate to work synchronously instead of asynchronously would eliminate the need for additional coding, saving time in project implementation."
"Things need to be improved with respect to RPA kinds of solutions."
"The BPM component needs improvement."
"Microsoft could offer more AI education and training."
"There should be more transparency when it comes to which features accompany the pricing, as there appear to be hidden features of which I am not aware."
"The speed of the application could be improved."
"That depends whether I can get the input information to explain why the exceptions are happening. Is it because of different policies or incorrect procedure being applied? If that information would also being integrated as part of it, it would make my life easier."
"Process Mining still has to mature somewhat."
"The product has to be simplified because there are some facets that are just too complex. It's not easy for everyone to understand. You have to do training on ProcessGold and then you can use it."
"Data crunching needs to be done by an analytics team and then imported."
"Unlike scan.ai, UiPath Process Mining doesn't provide high-level insights. It isn't easy to integrate. They should stop selling and try to bring more value into the system. A person can have only 10 UiPath Process Mining licenses, but nobody uses them, so in hindsight, everybody feels like UiPath is a failed product."
"I have observed that handling a large amount of logs slows down the solution's performance."
"It would be helpful if licensing costs were reduced."
"The cost should be improved with variable models to help different types of users afford the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of this solution is very good and for me, it's the best option there is."
"We are using the free version of Power Automate."
"You can have two types of licenses, one is user-based, and the other is app-based in the Power Platform."
"It's more fragmented licensing, where every little thing that you add, you get an extra license cost."
"It is free with Office 365 subscription."
"The solution is $150 per month for the unattended add-on, and the normal Power Automate comes with an E3 license."
"I don't deal with the financial side. I know that we pay for a per-user license. It is probably less than $20 a user, but I am not sure about the exact figures."
"You pay for use and if you want a premium connector or adapter, but a lot of things are available for free."
"The licensing cost depends on the enterprise, and the discounts and offers available at the time. The price of the solution is reasonable."
"We are using the Community Version of UiPath and have only a single process automated."
"UiPath Process Mining pricing is comparable to other tools in the market."
"The setup is very good and explained well. People who are at least accustomed to this automation in UiPath, can read and go through the process without a problem"
"Our licensing for UiPath Process Mining and the various tools such as Studio Orchestrator is all paid for on an annual basis. However, with the Document Understanding feature, the licensing is per page. So if we're going to read some 20,000-30,000 pages, that becomes one separate licensing stack."
"Licensing costs for UiPath are very reasonable, in my opinion."
"UiPath Process Mining is priced high compared to other solutions."
"There is an annual subscription. It could be cheaper in my opinion, but it is still more affordable than other OEMs. This solution probably would not be ideal for people in the startup environment."
