Reduced FTE and a significant reduction in errors

What is our primary use case?

We started with UiPath to automate activities that required gathering data from different applications and posting the data to another app.

How has it helped my organization?

Reduced FTE and a significant reduction in errors. Also, the processes can now be scheduled using Orchestrator and can be scheduled 24x7.

What is most valuable?

  • Tool has a macro recording feature that can generate the code for you automatically.
  • The recent computer vision AI feature. This feature helps recording for remote desktop and citrix environment and enables recording by converting images to textboxes and other window controls. As a result, recording feature for remote environment is now like recording for local environment

What needs improvement?

Improvement in the parsing of PDF files.

For how long have I used the solution?

Trial/evaluations only.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Stability is a risk with automation tools. Any change in GUI can break the recording. Hoping for more features in the tool to support it

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

With option to buy multiple licenses and use of orchestrator that can run across multiple servers, UIPath seems scalable

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

no

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
