Tooba Faroki - PeerSpot reviewer
The Python base is very valuable for AI and data science but stability could improve
Our company is using the solution for test automations such as making a software that indicates a payment, data entry, and invoice or document processing.  We have completed a partial automation with the solution and are thinking about implementing it.  The solution is based on Python which makes…

Has a lot of use cases, great automation capabilities, and helpful support
I'd rate the initial setup eight out of ten. It's pretty easy to implement. We use Azure Virtual Machines to deploy the robots and usually use a lot of the Azure services in conjunction with the robots. The cloud is on UiPath's automation cloud. That's where we have our servers - to manage the robust deployed data on multiple virtual machines. In terms of maintenance, there are always releases and updates, and then you can usually design your own robots to watch over the other robots, which is really interesting. You have the flexibility to make your own monitoring; if it sees something wrong, you can enter a ticket and then dispatch it to the support team to respond to it. My whole developer team is involved in maintenance; however, I have specific support team members. There's 28 developers and seven support team members in that group.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's easy to deploy bots via the API helper in Control Room. Robocorp's debugging features are also robust. It shows you a lot of data."
"It offers high scalability and enables automation in ways that haven't been possible before."
"Robocorp is based on Python, so you can use Python scripts and create libraries for your use cases. Building libraries and custom scripts for a particular client and general use cases is easy. We can reuse those scripts for other clients, so we start seeing benefits quickly."
"The process execution and all features are very good."
"The ability to create separate organizations on this platform makes it easier to bill each of the clients separately."
"I have worked with UiPath and Automation Anywhere previously. Robocorp offers an improved development style and support as well as flexibility of its tools. You can easily develop custom libraries in Robocorp."
"It supports Python runtime because of that, runtime also improves."
"The product has a valuable business process automation feature."
"We find the solution to be stable."
"We’ve improved our efficiency in a way for sure. Even just our cost analysis has improved. When we do new contracts, we know what it's going to cost exactly."
"The biggest advantage of UiPath is its user-friendly environment."
"The solution has helped our organization save costs. It’s likely saved us about $10 million."
"The functionality where you can quickly convert your code from Studio X to Studio is really nice."
"UiPath is much easier to learn than other tools. Its interface is not that complicated. It is very user-friendly."
"We enjoy the constant innovation. It's coming out with new things that we can use and new features all the time."
"The OCR technology within this solution has been most valuable. We are able to scan handwritten documents and scrape their contents to be captured with in the system."
 

Cons

"The standard libraries in Robocorp should be more advanced."
"The solution could be more stable."
"I don't like the complexity of deployment."
"It would be better if it were more user-friendly for non-technical users. It would be better if they had some drag-and-drop features to create logic."
"Robocorp is still in development, so most of the keywords are a bit confusing. I have to alter lots of automation steps between processing and development. However, Selenium is due for an update soon, and Robcorp is addressing some of the limitations caused by the previous Selenium version."
"They should fully develop Robocorp Studio because it would attract a lot of people to the Robocorp platform."
"An additional feature I'm looking for in Robocorp is SAP automation."
"The platform's documentation could be better."
"Tech support takes time replying to queries. It should be improved."
"One of my biggest frustrations with UiPath is that they're constantly changing the underlying technology and adding features, so you're not always in a stable state. You're looking at the next shiny thing, and that distracts us from our initiative. Because we work with the government, we must go through the security assessment process each time they change something. We have to pay the costs associated with reviewing their infrastructure."
"It would be good if the product could work locally, without depending on the internet, as connectivity issues can cause problems."
"Some of the transitions from the forum to submitting a ticket are a little clunky. If a ticket could be submitted on my behalf on the forum, then have me boot over to where the ticket is, that is fine. Just kicking me out of the forum, then having me submit a ticket seems counterintuitive to me."
"They need to improve features around legacy systems."
"Technical support could be improved."
"If I can get a little bit more data and a little bit more customization on Orchestrator, that would be really great."
"It should be less focused on the howtos and more on demonstrating business value add. A business outcome should be that I was able to approve something in however many days or hours compared to my peers when I benchmark across my peers. That would be a business outcome as opposed to a technical outcome."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is a very affordable price."
"It's a cost-effective solution."
"The product has good pricing."
"You don't have to pay for the license. You have to pay for the time you use it."
"Robocorp is much better in terms of pricing compared to UiPath."
"The pricing is fine."
"In terms of licenses, there is a return on investment in that area."
"The price is cheaper than other competitors. I would rate the cost as one out of five."
"It is not oversold. It does do what it was advertised to do."
"I think the pricing is reasonable. I don't think it's too much of a stretch, and I think it's where it should be."
"Initially, it maybe was $8,000 or $10,000. However, as the number of bots increases, the pricing has to come down. That said, with volume, we don't see that."
"We looked at Blue Prism and two other vendors. Based on our comparison, UiPath was the better solution with better licensing."
"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."
"They have been increasing the price. The explanation that they are providing is that they are adding more features. This works perfectly fine for customers who are looking for new intelligent automations, but there is another set of customers who are using UiPath for vanilla, plain automations. Offering them something that is not required and asking them to pay more puts a burden on them. That seems to be a problem for the customers. Many of them have mentioned this concern because it is increasing the prices of automation every year, which is not acceptable to all customers."
"It is the most user-friendly RPA platform, but it is also the most expensive RPA platform."
"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."
