We use the solution for log-ins, storing assets, configuring machines, and selecting the users who will have access to the machine.
RPA Developer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
A very stable and scalable product that provides excellent features and courses
Pros and Cons
- "Assets and logs are valuable."
- "It's a bit difficult to connect to the licenses."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
Assets and logs are valuable.
What needs improvement?
It's a bit difficult to connect to the licenses. If we sign in to one machine, we cannot sign in to another machine with the same license. It's better if the previous connection is directly disconnected when the user is connected to a different machine. The process is complex for beginners. It would be beneficial for UiPath if it provided more unattended licenses for the same cost. It will ensure that users do not avoid buying the solution.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for three years.

RPA developer at FPT
Provides centralized management features and an effective queue system
Pros and Cons
- "The most beneficial feature is the queue system, which allows robots to process a large volume of data simultaneously."
- "The solution's deployment and architecture aspects could be improved."
What is our primary use case?
We use UiPath Orchestrator to manage various automation processes and optimize resources. It helps handle high volumes of data by distributing work among robots to complete tasks efficiently.
What is most valuable?
The most beneficial feature is the queue system, which allows robots to process a large volume of data simultaneously.
What needs improvement?
The solution's deployment and architecture aspects could be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with UiPath for almost four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the platform's stability a nine.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Currently, six people in my department are using UiPath Orchestrator. I rate the scalability a nine out of ten.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I previously worked with Automation Anywhere and Microsoft.
How was the initial setup?
The deployment and installation process is not very simple. It requires understanding the architecture and the environment's requirements. It takes around three hours to complete.
I handle maintenance and troubleshooting, along with two other engineers.
What about the implementation team?
I participated in the installation process and consulted with an IT specialist for security-related aspects.
What was our ROI?
An example of cost savings with UiPath Orchestrator is during peak periods, such as month-end, when employees typically face overtime to meet deadlines. It alleviates this by automating and distributing tasks among robots, reducing the need for overtime and improving overall efficiency.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The product is expensive. We can use AI Center and Document Understanding with UiPath Orchestrator, but we need to purchase additional licenses for these features.
I rate the pricing a six out of ten.
What other advice do I have?
The platform's centralized management feature provides an overview of the entire automation journey, allowing us to monitor robot performance and results, which reduces stress and improves efficiency during peak times.
I would recommend UiPath Orchestrator to other users. I rate it an eight.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Finance Manager at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Helps automate processes and is useful for document understanding and generating reports
Pros and Cons
- "The reporting features are good."
- "The tool makes the laptops slow."
What is our primary use case?
We're actively using the solution for document understanding and generating reports. We post the reports on our general SharePoint. We use it for data entry to our ERP system. Other teams in the organization are also using the tool for their needs.
What is most valuable?
The solution helps automate processes. It is quite helpful. The reporting features are good. We can make generic reports of the ERP system. The transportation department uses the product to consolidate all the Excel files of the invoices and bills. We use the document understanding feature very often.
What needs improvement?
Currently, we have some bugs. Some tasks are not auto-run. We need a person to run it. I do not know what the issue is. The users need to have two laptops while running the Orchestrator. The tool makes the laptops slow. So we need to run it on a different laptop.
For how long have I used the solution?
We started using the solution recently.
How was the initial setup?
The tool is easy to deploy. We need a lot of time to learn the tool. It might be easy for the IT team. We spent a lot of time on training, but even after the training, we could not understand how to use the tool. If we have any issues with the integration, we reach out to our IT team. One or two people from the finance team can use the tool well, but it is not our core competency.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The product is quite expensive. We are trying to minimize the number of licenses and maximize the training.
What other advice do I have?
I use the output of the project that's being automated. We are still learning to use the tool. The only issue we faced was that we had to run the product on a separate laptop. Otherwise, it is good. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

Deploys, schedules, and runs automated bots efficiently and provides good documentation
Pros and Cons
- "The product has been pretty amazing at deploying, scheduling, and running automated bots."
- "The vendor should provide free certification to their partners."
What is our primary use case?
We use the solution to manage scheduling and everything related to bots.
How has it helped my organization?
The product has been pretty amazing at deploying, scheduling, and running automated bots. We have run it across different environments.
What is most valuable?
The focus areas of different customers are different. Some customers are more interested in the Attended Robot, and some in Unattended Robot. A couple of our customers are more focused on security compliance. The wow factor depends on the customer’s interest.
Maintaining the bots and going through the logs are useful for automation processes. It’s the basic thing needed for any RPA implementation. I have heard that the centralized dashboards are pretty good. We haven’t faced any challenges that we couldn’t find a solution for. The marketing strategy is pretty decent. The documentation is good.
What needs improvement?
The vendor should provide free certification to their partners.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the solution for approximately a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the tool’s stability a nine out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability depends on my infrastructure and setup if I’m not using the cloud.
How was the initial setup?
We need some technical skills to learn the product. UiPath provides training material. We might find the deployment difficult in the beginning. Once we learn, it gets easier.
What was our ROI?
It takes a few weeks to one month to see a return on investment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The product’s pricing is competitive. It provides different pricing models for different customers. We can either buy the tools separately or as a bundle.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I have used K2 for automation before. UiPath’s marketplace, developer base, and how it deals with the customers and partners make a bit of a difference.
What other advice do I have?
I’m a reseller. People who are planning to buy the tool must go ahead and try it out. There is a community version that is available for free. We can sign up and use it. We can try and test it. If we face any issues, we can seek help from a reseller. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Pros and Cons
- "I like UiPath Orchestrator's screen capture feature."
