Helps automate processes but needs to offer different licensing models to users
Right now, I am not working on process mining at the minute. Before I switched to the company, I worked extremely closely with the process mining tool from UiPath, SAP BTP, and the process mining that they had created. I am working with MuleSoft Automation and Anypoint. We are not doing any sort of process mining at the minute, but in my company, because MuleSoft is one of the only RPA tools that we are looking at, we have another application called Appian that we are trying to explore now. Appian has process mining capability, which is why we thought we would look at it along with AI capabilities.

Significantly reduces manual effort and improves team workflows through automated ticketing
We've used Agent Builder, IXP, and Maestro for orchestration. We have created context-grounded searches or chatbots using context grounding, and we also use context grounding within an Agentic flow where a bot or agent reads ServiceNow tickets to determine whether it has been assigned to the right work group. If it has not been assigned correctly due to human error, it automatically reassigns it to the right group. I would assess Agentic AI's ability to extract data points as effective. We created an agent for the purpose of extracting data, though not in a document. We created what we call an email conversation agent that engages with a customer, vendor, or someone in an email conversation with a set goal of extracting specific data points for an action to be performed subsequently. The one automation we have deployed in production involves the agent interacting with team members to collect data points and create a ServiceNow ticket. We appreciate almost all features of UiPath Platform, with one of the most successful ones being the use of Coms Mining. Most of the new features related to AI have all been good, and we use Agentic. We have already created a few agents and have started to use Maestro for a few flows, though we are not yet there to orchestrate an end-to-end workflow. We have good ROI from the automations we have developed with UiPath Platform, which far exceeds the investment in the platform. It has saved us tens of thousands of hours in manual effort, making the team members happy to pursue other things of value.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The standout features of SAP Intelligent RPA are its flexibility and integration capabilities."
"The initial setup of SAP Contextor is easy."
"Contextor is a good solution for a Citrix environment."
"It is remarkably easy to configure and code, and it doesn't require an extensive technical background or coding expertise."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Most of the details are already in the help portal and SAP notes are available. It is well documented as part of the product support."
"Scalability is fine. It is pretty nice."
"SAP Contextor has improved our organization by giving us better operational efficiency."
"If you apply correctly to your processes, you will definitely see an improvement in your process and return on your investment."
"Now, with UiPath they get their work done within half of the time that it is done manually."
"The manual effort of employees for repetitive tasks has been tremendously reduced and thereby the employees are concentrating on different fields."
"Overall, I am very happy with UiPath, but I do have a few small quibbles."
"We are saving approximately three and a half million annually based on the number of hours saved multiplied by a salary base rate."
"We absolutely have a return on our investment."
"We had a process that was very manual and repetitive and took a team of 14 people, all keying in manually, and now we have managed to automate it and save 14 employees worth of effort, which amounts to around 14,000 hours to date."
"The solution's ROI is that it saves time, eliminates errors, and reduces repetition, as tasks that used to take days are now completed within seconds or hours."
 

Cons

"One way SAP Intelligent RPA could improve is by integrating built-in DI services for document processing."
"For potential features or improvements, one aspect I would suggest enhancing is the flexibility of the extraction process."
"SAP Contextor could improve by automating some processes."
"I would like to see a better capacity for unstructured data, for example, PDF, or text within images."
"The initial setup is of medium complexity. It is neither too hard nor too simple. You need some background in SAP and an understanding of it."
"I found that the SAP scripting of a program is easier than SAP Contextor."
"SAP Contextor could improve by automating some processes."
"There should be more of an error, like a proper error feature, in future releases. Sometimes, we don't understand why that automation is not learning what, like, where it is stuck, or what is the reason like, or what is the criteria we are missing to add. So a proper error message would be helpful."
"The UiPath Community does not provide version control for the community edition."
"Its price is high compared to many other tools. When we go for any additional capability, everything comes at additional pricing. As a package, they can provide something that helps with scalability in terms of bot addition."
"To improve UiPath Platform, I would really want to see improvements on Action Center in customization on how it's laid out."
"One improvement that could be made is in terms of keeping the documentation updated. Some of the online documentation is outdated."
"While I like the Academy a lot, it could maybe go deeper into some of the topics."
"You can't get the response that you want until the people in the field decide that they want to change and adopt it. That will be the challenge."
"I would rate my customer service and technical support as eight, because I believe that our current partner needs to analyze other partners to make sure that we get a better experience."
"The biggest pain point we've seen so far is that we have trouble identifying best practices in certain areas and circumstances."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It all comes with a bundle right now. Having advanced features, it is competitively priced."
"The initial cost might seem higher, but over time, with continued use over five or ten years, the cost tends to decrease, making it a more economical choice."
"The pricing is not that expensive. It is manageable."
"This is not a tool or software with a license as others are. The SaaS model is based on the usage of the tool."
"Given how cheap it is to initially buy the product, the licensing methodology that they have in terms of renewing every year is appropriate. Later on, if they start charging more early on, for deployment, buying the license, and deploying it initially, then having a lower maintenance fee might be more appropriate. Now, with the scale they are at, it is an appropriate way to do the licensing."
"UiPath's price is a little high compared to other solutions, but it's easier to use and maintain."
"There are different licensing options and you should study which one better suits your company's needs."
"On a scale of one to ten, with ten being the highest, I would rate the price as an eight out of ten."
"The price is reasonable, although Orchestrator is really costly. Not many organizations will be able to afford that, but without Orchestrator, you can't do bot management. It becomes pretty difficult. UiPath has to focus on orchestration pricing."
"It is expensive, and now it is getting more expensive. They are the number one in the market, and they are taking advantage of that. It is hard for the companies that have the full infrastructure supported on UiPath to change it. They have to keep it. UiPath is taking advantage of it."
"Initially, the pricing was a lot more affordable. Now, it seems a bit excessive."
"UiPath is reasonably priced."
