Good data security, allowing local installations to prevent data from going to the internet

There were a lot of issues we faced. One notable improvement would be better API integration within the tool itself, as we still rely on external tools like Postman. Additionally, expanding language support beyond C#, Java, and JavaScript to include Python would be beneficial. An AI feature that automatically detects automation object properties and suggests actions would be a great addition. So, in future releases, AI solutions for automated property identification would be helpful.

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 scalability is very good. It's probably one of the better tools I've seen on the market."

"The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is its user-friendly interface."

"The solution is fast and includes built-in libraries that record and playback."

"Object identification is good."

"The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is the capture and replay tool. You don't need to do script testing. When you launch any application from Ranorex Studio it automatically captures these test case steps. The next time you can replay the tool the flow automatically happens again. For example, when you do the logging and all the activity will be captured by the tool, and re-execute the same step by using automatization."

"Easy integration with CI Tools like Jenkins, TFS, and TeamCity."

"This is a powerful, reliable and versatile all-around application testing suite."

"I like the recording function and Ranorex Spy."

More Ranorex Studio pros

"The solution has freed up employee time. It depends on the process, however, if I had to take an average, it is probably freeing up one full-time person, which is eight hours. On a monthly basis, around 150 hours are saved for a medium process."

"It's low code/no code which makes it very easy to work with."

"It has resolved the issue of order entry delays, reducing a process that could take two to four days to just five minutes."

"The most valuable feature is automating processes and tasks, giving users time for more value-added activities."

"The best part is the way UiPath provides the ability to automate everything, including the architecture and Orchestrator. The interfaces are very user-friendly and intuitive. It's very easy to build automations. Someone who is not very technical can understand quite a lot and start to automate."

"The most valuable features of UiPath are data entry, data reading, and some simple logical calculations."

"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 product saves time and effort so employees are spared wasting time on mundane tasks."

More UiPath pros

Cons

"If there are many queries on the web page, Ranorex will not render the page correctly. I had about 1,000 queries on the page, and the solution was not able to handle it."

"The solution does not support dual or regression testing."

"The solution's technical support team could be responsive."

"Binding to other sources is very good but the object recognition in .NET desktop applications often doesn't work."

"The automation of the SAP application could perhaps be improved to make it much simpler."

"The object detection functionality needs to be improved."

"I'd like to know their testing strategies and to know what they can automate and what they can't. It can become pretty frustrating if you're trying to automate something that changes on a monthly or weekly basis."

"There were a lot of issues we faced. One notable improvement would be better API integration within the tool itself, as we still rely on external tools like Postman."

More Ranorex Studio cons

"The reporting task needs improvement. The reporting is boring."

"UiPath needs to improve Orchestrator and its back office licenses."

"The licensing could be more flexible."

"It was more difficult to use than we originally thought it was going to be. It's not as simple as drag and drop."

"It would help if UiPath fixed bugs in the software before they updated."

"UiPath could use more OCR use cases to help with those features."

"I would like to see anything that can increase the reliability of the processes."

"UiPath could work towards more engagement on the community practice side. Some of our people are having a hard time understanding how to make sense of the data that UiPath puts out."

More UiPath cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We paid €3,000 (approximately $3,300 USD) for this solution. When you add the runtime licenses it will be €3,500 (approximately $3,900 USD)."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"Our company has one license per user with each costing two lakh rupees."

"This solution is a more expensive solution compared to some of the other competitors."

"The licensing fees depend on the number of users."

"There are several types of licenses and you need to choose depending on your needs and level of usage."

"The pricing is quite reasonable."

"UiPath is slightly more expensive than Automation Anywhere and Microsoft Power Automate."

"The ROI on all of our RPA use cases is from a throughput perspective. Processing time improvement is anywhere between 70 percent faster to 300 to 400 percent faster. For the right processes, there is even up to 7X to 10X improvement from a throughput perspective, even though it works through the UI."

"The price for the attended bot is between $1,800 and $3,000. The unattended bot was $8,000 last year. Orchestrator is around $20,000."

"Orchestrator should have better scalability with a better payment model in terms of number of processes that you want to use. Instead, you have one product which covers this size with this fixed price. You're getting a box of options, but you can't really scale it."

"I was not involved in the pricing negotiations, but as far as I understand, my team was happy with the pricing. So, I assume that its price is moderate and competitive. It isn't highly-priced."

"Currently our clients are looking for cost optimization post-pandemic and UiPath comes at a high price point."

"It is super cheap for the value you get. Their free version is good enough to implement. When you are building a solution, it takes months of effort, and sometimes, it takes years. Its free version is good enough for you to test out everything, so when you are developing, you do not need to pay. After that, there is a Pro version at $420. It is reasonable for the value it is offering. Their basic support is also very good, which comes with the Pro version. The Enterprise license is suitable when you need a hundred automation licenses. It is also reasonable. They give good pricing when you negotiate."
