We don't actually use it in our company, we deploy ProcessGold in our clients' premises and provide the services for this solution. We have deployed it for many processes, mainly for human resources, IT, marketing and also for sales. A new aspect is for procurement.
Covers many features and platforms that are valuable
Pros and Cons
- "We have deployed it for many processes, mainly for human resources, IT, marketing and also for sales. A new aspect is for procurement."
- "In terms of what can be improved, what I've seen so far in most of the implementations is that the client's expectations towards the RPA solution and their road map for the solution are different. The road map should be very clear in terms of what should be done and why it has to be done."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The features I have found most valuable include the procurement because that is valuable to the clients. The RPA covers so many features and platforms and offers the same features.
We have deployed all the features, for all the verticals that I have mentioned here. UiPath featured them recently, they were valuable to the customer.
What needs improvement?
In terms of what can be improved, what I've seen so far in most of the implementations is that the client's expectations towards the RPA solution and their road map for the solution are different. The road map should be very clear in terms of what should be done and why it has to be done.
As for features that should be included in the next release, I would say that the UiPath should follow a flow X where a person who has a business process understanding and has an understanding of UiPath would be able to automate their own processes.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using ProcessGold for approximately three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?
With what I've seen so far in my three years of experience, I see that it is stable. If there are not a lot of changes in the process before it is automated, then it is always stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
ProcessGold is certainly scalable.
In terms of how many people are using this solution, if you add the positions around the RPA, basically every process will have their own business people working on that particular process. So, typically, we have deployed more than 30 plus processes until now and more than 60 to 70 people are working on that particular process.
How are customer service and support?
I am in touch with technical support when we are working for our client with automations. I know which product features we need to talk to the UiPath guy about.
I am 100% satisfied with the UiPath technical support.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is straightforward. For the whole UiPath implementation, it typically takes four to five days to set up the whole thing and make it run.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I am the practice head for the RPA. So my team has hands on experience on other tools, as well. This includes Automation Anywhere and NeoDesk, and their latest software.
The main differences between UiPath and Automation Anywhere are that typically, the features which are offered by the RPA vendors seems to be the same, except on the user interface level, the IDE. UiPath provides a kind of a work proposed structure. But with Automation Anywhere there's a different kind of flow. The flexibility of development is better with UiPath. Otherwise I don't see any difference at all - all the features are supported by every vendor.
What other advice do I have?
The processes which are identified as the RPA candidates have to be thoroughly assessed. Unless and until the process is not qualified as a candidate, we should not take any chances by automating it. I would say that the process identification is a key part and the business owners who own that particular process should come up with an assessment.
On a scale of one to ten - I would rate this product a ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Group Manager at HCL Technologies
Provides AI center for document understanding
Pros and Cons
- "The most valuable feature is the AI center for document understanding."
- "The product could diversify into creating apps."
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature is the AI center for document understanding.
What needs improvement?
The product could diversify into creating apps. For example, if you look at Power Automate, it's not just RPA. They also have applications. You can do low-code applications. They could add something that can help develop very small mobile and web applications, which is where the industry is going. So maybe UiPath can also follow suit.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for about four years. We are an SI company, and we deploy UiPath for some of our clients.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It's very stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It's scalable depending on how you deploy it. For UiPath Cloud, scalability is not an issue.
How are customer service and support?
We have a very good relationship with technical support. As a company, I belong to HCL, so we have a very good relationship with UiPath. Our experience with UiPath has always been very good.
What was our ROI?
The ROI is around 30% to 40%.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate this solution 9 out of 10.
My advice is to try the new citizen developer. UiPath has also come up with a citizen developer suite. I'd recommend that. UiPath also has a test suite. We are experimenting with that now, but those are my two recommendations.
The product is very good, very stable, very scalable, and secure. The only reason I wouldn't give it a 10 is because most of the other products are going the low-code, no-code way for applications.

Good AI dependencies, good support, and easy setup
Pros and Cons
- "Its Artificial Intelligence dependencies are valuable."
- "There should be better handling of errors or exceptions."
What is our primary use case?
We use it for getting reports and uploading them to other environments.
What is most valuable?
Its Artificial Intelligence dependencies are valuable.
What needs improvement?
There should be better handling of errors or exceptions.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is scalable. We have eight people who are using this solution.
How are customer service and support?
We have a technical account manager. We write to him, and he immediately gets back to us. Their support is quite good.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I didn't previously use a different solution.
How was the initial setup?
Its setup is easy. You double-click the installer and just click next, next, next. Its implementation took two weeks.
What about the implementation team?
I did it myself.
What other advice do I have?
I would advise checking out academy.uipath.com. There are lots of videos for educational purposes. You can watch them if you want.
I would rate it an eight out of 10. It is a good product for me.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Programmer at Banco de Guatemala
Provides us with nearly complete control and reduces user time
Pros and Cons
- "We find the solution to be really easy not just for development purposes, but also for its use and ability to be understood."
- "The remote desktop we utilize suffers from inconsistent performance, sometimes functioning well and other times not."
What is our primary use case?
We find the solution to be really easy not just for development purposes, but also for its use and ability to be understood. We can use it to reduce user time.
What is most valuable?
UiPath Process Mining allows us to have almost complete control. This is because we have many keys carrying out activities, us working in a very important organization.
What needs improvement?
In the current COVID-plagued environments, we built many bots, which was a plus, in place of requiring people to be physically present in the organization.
We use UiPath Mining Review in multiple forums. At the day's outset, we upload economic information and make much use of the financial reports at day's end. This used to be done manually, but the solution now allows us to do so automatically. As such, we focus our attention on many areas.
This said, the remote desktop we utilize suffers from inconsistent performance, sometimes functioning well and other times not.
There should also be adapters for enabling more control of the remote desktop. The solution should include some adapters for numeric use, as well as a remote tester.
For how long have I used the solution?
I started using UiPath in the organization around two-and-a-half years ago.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability is really good.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We do have plans to increase the solution's usage. I started with its use in the organization. In the beginning there were two of us, following the exit of another person. Towards the end of 2020 I had help, as I was teaching others how to assist me with the solution's use. We do not need many people to carry out the work.
We are hiring step-by-step. For the moment, there are two or three others who assist me, but not at a high level. This is being done gradually and they are being allocated time to analyze the results of the solution.
How are customer service and technical support?
Technical support is really great. We had various issues, including those involving other processes and problematic compatibility, when we updated in January to the version I mentioned.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We did not previously utilize a different solution.
How was the initial setup?
We deploy both on-premises and through hybrid cloud, with Amazon AWS.
The installation process involved several steps, the first one involving the need for digital information to our desktop applications.
The deployment is not difficult and can vary in time. averaging around two weeks, especially when we have the documentation.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Licensing costs are on an annual basis.
In addition to the standard licensing costs we incur fees with a vendor here in Guatemala. I am referring to the service provider license and it is in respects of us being a public organization.
What other advice do I have?
I started using the solution from the inception of my organization and make use of it solely.
I am solely responsible for all deployment, maintenance and ancillary matters concerning UiPath.
I recommend the use of UiPath Process Mining. As UiPath is really easy to understand and control, it is wonderful. It is really comfortable for development purposes.
I rate UiPath Process Mining as a ten, since I feel pretty great working with it.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Hybrid Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Associate Vice President at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
The ability to automate processes helps us to save time and costs
Pros and Cons
- "This product is easy-to-use and the interface is simple and user-friendly."
- "The cost should be improved with variable models to help different types of users afford the product."
- "Integration with new technologies should be kept up-to-date so they can be adopted as they are released."
What is our primary use case?
We use this product for robotic automation. With it, we are automating certain standard business processes so they do not have to be handled manually. We can build robots to run automated processes to complete these standard tasks that we would normally have to do manually, otherwise, on a periodic basis. So instead of doing these repetitive tasks manually, the robot is doing it instead of us and it takes care of them automatically.
How has it helped my organization?
The product helps us in many ways. The ability to automate processes helps us to save time. When we save time, we also save costs. So we spend fewer man-hours on certain tasks and enhance productivity. It is a nice tool for us and streamlining workflow.
What is most valuable?
The parts of the product that are most valuable are that it is easy to deploy and easy to manage. The user interface is simple and user-friendly. Integrations with other products are also very easy. This is why we continue to use the product rather than something else.
What needs improvement?
Some things could be improved in ProcessGold even though it is already very useful. New integrations sometimes depend on new technologies or new hardware. The compatibility with the various integrations with new technologies should be enhanced so that these can be adopted as they become available.
It is an expensive solution. It would be good if the company could consider some type of change to the licensing model that could help clients better regulate the costs in different ways.
Another improvement would be on the development side for test management. It would be nice to be able to create new custom features for testing within that module.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The stability of the product is fine. We are not having too many serious technical problems with deployed robots. It is all working properly.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalability of ProcessGold is fine. I know of different companies that are using it with anywhere between 10 servers to 2000 servers. I do not think that scalability has any serious restrictions.
As far as how many users are using the solution and their roles in the company, generally, only admins are using the product. So we have only around six or seven people using the product directly in the company although other people may benefit from the processes that it handles. We need a maximum of only two or three people on staff for deployment and maintenance.
In the future, we are planning to increase our usage a lot. Right now we have about 25 licenses with 25 robots. We have plenty of reasons to build new processes and increase the number of licenses to about 50 and double our usage while leveraging the advantage that automation offers. What we actually do ends up depending on the business scenarios. If we see a lot of business enhancement and growth in the market, of course we will continue to expand what we do.
How are customer service and technical support?
We have not used technical support too much, but when we have needed to use it they helped us with any issues. Their performance has been okay for us. We did not have any problems with them.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was okay. It was not very complex. The implementation took around one month total.
What about the implementation team?
When it came to the implementation, there was a partner who helped me with the integration and deployment.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We pay around $200,000 for licensing the product. We also have additional costs. There is a yearly maintenance fee that is 20% of the license. So that comes to an additional $40,000 a year for the maintenance and support.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
This is the first product that we have used for robotic automation. We did check into other options, but from the perspective of the available features and what we felt we needed, this was the best product and the best choice. The ease-of-use allowed us to adopt it quickly.
What other advice do I have?
On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate this as an eight. It is an eight rather than higher because there is always, something to do to make even a very good product better.
The advice that I have for people considering adopting this product is that it is important to define scenarios in the beginning before starting to build them. It is best to start working with simple scenarios. After they have success with that, they can try things that are more complex. It is tempting to want to just jump in and do complex things right away, but it is important not to rush into complex development when using this kind of tool.

RPA Developer at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Satisfactory online support, and the solution is robust
Pros and Cons
- "I have never had issues with online technical support."
- "It would be helpful to make the spy modules more accurate."
What needs improvement?
There is room for improvement in the design studios. Design studios and exception handling are the two that we usually migrate to Blue Prism because Blue Prism's exception handling and design studios are much more, user-friendly.
It would be helpful to make the spy modules more accurate.
The spy modules will integrate your Citrix-based programs. Many people are moving to Citrix-based systems.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with UiPath Process Mining since 2019.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
UiPath Process Mining is a very stable product.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The most significant issue with scalability on most platforms, such as Blue Prism and UiPath, is that they are extremely expensive.
How are customer service and support?
I have never had issues with online technical support.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have also been working with Blue Prism since 2016, 2017. We are using version 6.9.
Automation based on the browser. The browser base is very stable, but there is some room for improvement in the spying elements on some websites. It's your capability where you actually spy something and run it unattended because most of our bots are unattended fields, so you have to build in a whole backup just to deal with it that way.
Blue Prism is very stable.
They are expensive in terms of scalability. I believe their bots, particularly their resource bots, are superior to the majority of the others. You can run three solutions on one resource.
They're brilliant. Blue Prism has outstanding technical support.
It's not as simple as drag and drop. You have to design your own solution within Blue Prism. People need to concentrate more. Blue Prism is more unattended than attended, so they must concentrate more on your exception handling on Blue Prism to get the product to work perfectly.
The Blue Prism is simple to design, but handling exceptions requires careful thought. However, that product never fails.
I would rate Blue Prism a nine out of ten.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It is extremely expensive.
What other advice do I have?
One thing to remember about RPA is that you must first identify the appropriate processes. If you want to maximize your value impact, you must first identify the appropriate processes.
I would rate UiPath Process Mining an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

Good support and stable, but it is not intuitive and easy to work with
Pros and Cons
- "Their support is really good, and it is a stable product."
- "It should be more intuitive and easy to work with. There should be more ways of creating filters, and it should be easy to make our own customized dashboards. Currently, if I want to create a dashboard similar to the one we have in AppOne but with different attributes, it is very difficult. There are activities, but I don't want activities. I want other attributes. Its user interface is not very intuitive. You need to play around with it. I have been playing around with the UiPath Process Mining tool for almost two years, and now I feel confident in handling it. It is a difficult tool."
What is our primary use case?
I'm an automation consultant, and I work with UiPath Process Mining and also UiPath Studio.
We are a consulting company, and I and a colleague are creating all the results, and we have to present them to the customer. My colleague is handling all the business conversations, and I'm the technical person creating all the dashboards and making whatever the customer is asking for available.
What is most valuable?
Their support is really good, and it is a stable product.
What needs improvement?
It lacks certain features. For example, if we have data from one activity that is connected to another activity or number and there is a one-to-one connection, when we want to dig into that, it fails. I had to create another workspace and make heavy changes, which was time-consuming.
It should be more intuitive and easy to work with. There should be more ways of creating filters, and it should be easy to make our own customized dashboards. Currently, if I want to create a dashboard similar to the one we have in AppOne but with different attributes, it is very difficult. There are activities, but I don't want activities. I want other attributes. Its user interface is not very intuitive. You need to play around with it. I have been playing around with the UiPath Process Mining tool for almost two years, and now I feel confident in handling it. It is a difficult tool.
In addition, if there were dropdown options for picking an activity and dropping it somewhere, it would make the work easy.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for almost two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I am not sure about its scalability because I haven't scaled it. I have not
connected a process to different processes. I just had the data from one process, and I had to do the analysis.
In terms of its users, in my company, there are just two users. I and a colleague of mine are working with UiPath Process Mining.
How are customer service and support?
I have one contact person whom I contact whenever I have issues. He is supportive, very knowledgeable, and very prompt in answering the questions. I would rate their support a five out of five.
How was the initial setup?
It was easy. I'm using the AppOne template, which makes it comparatively easy. You just have to map all the basic attributes, and you can have the first look at your data. If the customer or business is asking for further investigation or features, then it gets difficult.
What other advice do I have?
From the development or technical perspective, you should have a basic knowledge of coding. If a customer is asking for some specific features, it becomes a little bit difficult. Therefore, it is always recommended to have sufficient knowledge. With a technical background, you can easily work with UiPath Process Mining.
I have been working intensively on it, and I like it, but a few small features are missing. I would rate it a seven out of 10.

Pros and Cons
- "This solution is very easy to use and implement as you are able to partner with a cloud enterprise and be on your way."
- "I would like for user onboarding/onboarding of enterprise clients to be simplified in the next release."
What is our primary use case?
We use this solution for finance reporting, reconciliations and we just started doing process mining on one of the contact centers using the UiPath assistance.
What is most valuable?
This solution is very easy to use and implement as you are able to partner with a cloud enterprise and be on your way.
What needs improvement?
I would like for user onboarding/onboarding of enterprise clients to be simplified in the next release.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using this solution for about four and a half years now.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
This is a stable solution.
How are customer service and support?
I have yet to experience any issues that have required support intervention.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have UiPath, Blue Prism, and Automation Anywhere deployed at our facility and UiPath is the easiest to use.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was quite easy and took about an hour for individual computers and one day for the enterprise as a whole.
What was our ROI?
I have seen ROI but do not have specific data.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
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.
Tech support is included with the enterprise license.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Hybrid Cloud
