UiPath Reviews

I work in the banking industry and have used UiPath to automate end-to-end processes for seven projects. I am also currently using UiPath to help our clients automate their RPA lifecycle end-to-end.

In my role within the banking domain, I am typically responsible for complex bots. I currently have two applications and data messaging tasks requiring the creation of BRM reports and their subsequent email delivery to users.

With my UiPath experience building automation is easy to do.

UiPath enables end-to-end automation. My preferred development process begins with creating Process Definition Documents and thoroughly gathering requirements. I carefully review this information before commencing development. After that, I conduct User Acceptance Testing. Finally, I place the process in hypercare for one or two weeks, depending on the bot's complexity, before moving it to production.

The UiPath User Community is incredibly helpful, especially when I'm stuck on code during research and development.

UiPath is a leading platform for end-to-end automation, offering advanced capabilities for streamlining workflows.

UiPath Academy offers valuable courses that equip learners with both knowledge and practical experience. I recently completed some advanced coursework in the program.

UiPath speeds up and reduces the cost of digital transformation.

UiPath helps organizations reduce costs through automation by minimizing the staff needed to complete tasks.

UiPath helps reduce human error.

UiPath helps free up significant staff time. It can complete tasks in five minutes that would typically take a human seven hours to accomplish.

On-premises deployment of UiPath requires a significant amount of RAM for optimal performance.

I have been using UiPath for just over two years.

To ensure the stability of our on-premises UiPath solution, a minimum of 1 TB of RAM is required for optimal performance.

I also work with Automation Anywhere. While both tools offer valuable functionalities, UiPath provides additional features, such as flow and list views, for managing automation workflows. Additionally, UiPath offers an orchestrator capability for centralizing and managing automation, which is not available in Automation Anywhere.

The initial setup is straightforward. I can do the deployment myself within ten minutes.

I would rate UiPath ten out of ten.

Maintenance is required for updates.

I recommend UiPath for implementing robotic process automation.

We are using UiPath to automate many processes. In my first job, I worked on billing and ticketing. We were automating the process for ticketing and billing for audit. The robot was responsible for auditing the process of an application. It was responsible for calculating the difference between the amount deposited by the visitors and the amount calculated and predicted by the application. It would then decide if it was the correct currency or not.

Currently, I am working on many applications, but the classic ones are where we are reading data from Excel or databases and then clarifying the data or closing some billings. I am also working on the process of taking some reservations on some sites.

I also sometimes use it to automate something on my personal laptop.

UiPath enables us to implement end-to-end automation. It is not only about developing robots or putting the code. You must also monitor and implement the whole solution. It is not just a robot.

UiPath provides more flexibility because you can use other languages such as C#. This opportunity is not there with Power Automate or Blue Prism because you are working with graphical tools. For me, it was an opportunity to learn C# and how to code.

UiPath provides the opportunity to work with the conceptual aspects. There are flow charts to help you design the workflow.

UiPath has helped to automate many manual processes. We can see the difference with automation.

UiPath reduces human error. It is one of the main benefits. UiPath also optimizes the time. It is helpful. For one of the processes, the time taken was reduced from seven minutes to one minute.

UiPath saves human resources. For example, we had a process that was done by four to five people, and we automated that process. The robot could do one day's work in 10 to 15 minutes. We have automated almost 15 processes so far, so there have been a lot of savings on human resources. These resources can now be utilized for other tasks. The manual and repetitive tasks were annoying for them, and now, they can work on other things that are more interesting and require human decisions, not just copying and pasting.

It is the most suitable tool for big beginners in RPA. It is simple to manipulate. I found it comfortable because it has ML, AI, and OCR. It is great.

It is easy for me to build automation using UiPath. I would rate it an eight out of ten in terms of ease of use. It is easy, and I enjoy making robots. It is not just for the sake of working. I enjoy it when I finish making a robot. I feel I did something.

I did not work much on it, but I like the OCR part. I found OCR interesting because we can work with unstructured data from a paper or handwritten text. It is something new for automation.

The Community edition and UiPath Academy are two powerful features of UiPath. The Community edition of UiPath gives hands-on experience. People who want to learn about UiPath can download it for free and use it. It is a solution for everyone. Anyone can use it to learn about UiPath and practice it.

It should have better integration with Microsoft applications such as Excel, SharePoint, Outlook, etc. Power Automate is better for communicating with Microsoft Office applications. With UiPath, we have some difficulty communicating with the Microsoft Office applications. This is the only weakness that I have come across.

I have been working with UiPath for about two years. I also worked with it during my internship.

It is stable. I would rate it a seven out of ten in terms of stability. 

For scalability, I would rate it an eight out of ten because it gives you methods to be scalable. You can scale many processes.

I have not interacted with their support, but the UiPath Community is there. It is a very big community now. When we have some questions or want some clarification, we can find resources on their site or in their community. When I started working with it initially, it was not easy to find solutions related to UiPath. Compared to Automation Anywhere, it was a bit harder to find solutions.

I have also used UiPath Academy for certifications. It helps to learn from scratch. UiPath Academy makes it easy to learn for someone who has not worked with UiPath. There are different levels. You can find your level and begin from there.

We have our private setup. We have our own Orchestrator. We have a platform that communicates with the Orchestrator. We put the robots on Orchestrator and we monitor them using Orchestrator and some VMs. 

The deployment complexity depends on each project. Some projects are easy. You just need to put the robots. In terms of maintenance, robots do require maintenance. You need to monitor them to ensure that they are meeting the business requirements. If the code is good, one person can maintain the robots.

We are working in a team, and we have our own resources. We have experienced team members who know how to do the deployment.

We have teams working in multiple locations such as Tunisia, Morocco, Romania, and France.

There is a significant ROI with process automation.

It is reasonable considering the benefits of automating the processes.

I would recommend starting with some simple or classic processes, such as reading data from an Excel sheet and a database. You will find it easy. My advice is to not start with something difficult.

I would rate UiPath an eight out of ten.

I use UiPath to automate my client's PDF files and emails.

Compared to other programming languages, UiPath is exceptionally easy to build automation with.

UiPath enables end-to-end automation. In our current automation process, we receive the file from the client, which we then use to automate their email notification process.

UiPath has helped minimize our client's on-premises footprint.

I have taken advantage of UiPath's Academy courses for both beginner and advanced training, acquiring a significant number of valuable tips in the process.

By implementing UiPath, we have significantly reduced human error in the process. We have also streamlined the process, reducing the number of humans required from ten to just two, further minimizing the possibility of errors.

UiPath offers many valuable features, but the most valuable is the accuracy of its workflow process.

I would like more flexibility during recording and debugging because currently, when UiPath is in debug mode, we cannot make any changes.

I have been using UiPath for one year.

UiPath is stable.

The initial deployment is easy. I manually run the bot to deploy UiPath.

I would rate UiPath an eight out of ten.

The only maintenance we do is delete the logs to free up the storage.

We can find answers to all our questions regarding UiPath in the online forum.

UiPath is a strong solution with a significant presence in the automation space. I recommend UiPath.

Our company deals with data analysis and we use the RPA to help with various functions related to data analysis and to keep our operations moving 24/7.

Since we've automated, we've received great results in improved performance and helped increase productivity. Our business has expanded and the solution has made customer service faster. We're also able to respond to various suppliers and stakeholders more efficiently. Whatever they require they can get in just the click of a button.

The biggest benefit so far has been the upward trajectory of our productivity. Our teams have become more efficient and productive. 

We're also saving on staff and allowing staff to work more remotely.

It's very easy to deploy and we can use it without any problems. It's easy to learn. We have various staff members using the product. It's easy to troubleshoot if you run into issues. The support team is very efficient.

It's just easy. It streamlines our activities very well. Before acquiring it, we had issues with data loss and record keeping. Now, it automates everything. It's efficient for tracking and acquiring whatever data you are using. 

It took us less than a month to automate everything. From there, it's picked up very well and has been super stable. there's no buffering. We have no problems. 

We use it for a diverse group of people who come from different departments. It can be used in customer service, bookkeeping, HR, et cetera. It works across diverse projects and staff. 

The automation saves time on various tasks. It used to be handled by a human workforce that had to handle repetitive or cumbersome tasks. Now, it can be done efficiently without even using humans. Now, we can run 24 hours a day. Even when shifts are over, the robots keep working.

We can enable end-to-end automation. It's enabled now. We're even thinking of implementing it further and acquiring more products. We want to use it as the core of our automation. We do have processes that are almost end-to-end. Three-quarters of them are almost fully automated. For example, ticketing. How we attend to our customers is very extensively automated using UiPath.

The user community is very efficient. They help us a lot. We can exchange notes. For example, we've used the community to figure out how to implement benchmarking in our company. We get very efficient notes on how to improve our systems.

It's helped minimize our on-premises footprint. It's on the cloud. For example, we can have more staff working remotely. When we had our entire team in the office, our production cost was very high. However, now that we've allowed remote work, we've saved money and found more efficiency.

Some of our staff have used our Academy courses. Some staff that are not so tech-savvy have taken advantage of the courses. It's improved the general knowledge of the platform and has made onboarding more efficient so that other users can learn more about how to benefit from this platform.

It's helped us with digital transformation. It's helped us move away from manual processes and away from analog systems. We're working to be more digitally efficient. 

It has helped free up employee time. They are now able to engage in other activities within the company. It's enabled them to complete their work and assigned responsibilities on time. It's likely freed up employee time by 50% to 60%.

From a value perspective, we have seen cost savings. Tasks that have traditionally taken a week take far less time. It helps save money on the organization's part as it all takes less time. We might have seen a cost saving on tasks of 42% to 50%.

It would be nice to have physical support, where UiPath can come to companies and do frequent visits for troubleshooting. It takes a while to respond back and forth when there's an issue. 

I've been using the solution for three years. 

The solution is stable unless we have a network problem or connectivity issues. 

We use it across the organization, and within different departments. We have 500 users, and 12 people using the solution on a daily basis. 

The scalability is good. It's easy to scale up.

Support is very friendly. They are amazing people. The time it takes to respond might be a day. When they do reach out they are super-efficient. 

Positive

We did not previously use a different solution. 

We are working with the latest version of the solution. 

From what I understand for IT, who deployed it, it's not hard to maintain the solution. 

Our IT dealt with the vendor during the initial setup.

We have witnessed an ROI since the production costs have gone down while the productivity has risen overall. Everything across operations is streamlined and staff are working more efficiently.

For small users and startups, the price is a bit high. However, it does give good value for money. For established organizations, it's reasonable. 

We did evaluate other solutions, however, we found UiPath very popular and heard good things from people who used it. 

We are not currently using the tools' AI functionality. We're just considering adopting it. We're not there yet. 

I'd recommend the solution. It helps you realize your automation journey. It's good to get some training or some general knowledge about the product so that you can use it without delay.

I would rate the solution nine out of ten. It's one of the most popular options on the market. It's adaptable across departments, from product to service, to finance - everything. It can be used across the board. 

We use multiple types of applications, including SAP. I work on contract documents with UiPath mostly. I work with different clients in different companies. We use the solution to automate processes. It helps by reading contract documents and updating details in SAP applications. 

We use a lot of document understanding. It reads the documents for us. I had a document understanding from UiPAth about two years ago. They helped us understand how it would work. With it, we were able to build a solution for invoices and purchase orders.

I like that we can work with different types of classifications. Whenever you classify a document using an ML model, there is a license associated with it. However, the intelligent classifier doesn't consume any of the licenses unless there is a specific amount of usage on the respective document. We process around a thousand documents per day and the classification is free. It helped us process all of these documents. We were able to train our ML models easily. 

Building automation with UiPath is very easy compared to others. The UI is easy. There's a community forum where you can request help. They also have a marketplace to help you find customized solutions. 

Previously, a turnaround time for a particular process was two to three days. Once we automate the process, we can handle the process in three hours. The turnaround times have improved a lot. We've drastically reduced our turnaround time on each transaction we handle. That's reduced our costs by quite a lot. That said, I don't have an exact figure off the top of my head. 

The user community and forums are great. They are really impressive. When I started in RPA, it was difficult to find help or to help others. The forum gives us the platform we need to help each other and source solutions to problems. It's now easy to find answers. It helps a lot. 

We use the AI functionality. I've used it for 1.5 years. It offers good functionality. However, you need to have a good understanding of how to use the resource effectively. 

We've achieved 80% to 90% now using AI.

We can automate more processes now. We need to do a proper assessment first to see what we can get from AI. However, there's functionality beyond document understanding. That said, finding the right use cases can be difficult.

We've sped up digital transformation and the cost surrounding it. It also wasn't expensive to do so. We can go ahead with minimal cost. We just need to align the solution with the right resources.

It's reduced human error. We have the functionality to capture business exceptions. If we need human confirmation, it will get sent to the action center. However, by automating, we've reduced the need for humans. We've reduced human error by 20% to 30%. The bot will capture data in areas where in the past humans may have made mistakes.

The bot has freed up employee time. We do have attended automation. If there are tasks needed for humans, we've created the process in such a way that they can do these tasks and then spend the rest of their time on other activities. It's likely freed up human time by 10% or more. We'd only work on processes where there is a minimum of 10% reduction in human time. 

There are a few bugs and a few things on the technical side where certain features are not available.

There are some functionality limitations on UiPath that we could have access to on different platforms.

If we have to move the model to production, we have to download it and upload it again.  

I've used the solution for seven years. 

The solution is stable as long as you maintain it in a proper way. You need an admin and support team to take care of performance. 

We work mostly with enterprise-level organizations. 

The solution is scalable. 

Technical support is good. If I have questions, they help me. However, I've had colleagues who have raised tickets and had trouble resolving issues. I personally have never had issues. 

Positive

We did not use other solution other than UiPath. However, I have done some small POCs in others. I've used Automation Anywhere, for example. There are different commands in AA and a few different features, however, they are both accurate and efficient.

I've set up the solution. The deployment takes a few hours. There may be software and hardware requirements If everything is there, it might take one or two days to get everything up and running. 

You may need to maintain your production servers after setup to make sure the bots keep running. We might have other weekly or monthly maintenance tasks to ensure everything is performing as expected. 

The solution is growing in price. It's getting to be too expensive. While I like the solutions they are providing, they need to balance the cost so that they can stay competitive in the market. 

I'm a customer.

I would recommend the solution, however, new users need to be mindful of the cost. If they have the budget, they should go with UiPath. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. 

We use it for automation with different applications and use Document Understanding, AI Center, and Action Center.

There is a good chance that people will make mistakes in manual operations, especially in whatever data-entry operation they do. By defining a solution in UiPath that is prerecorded and scripted, there is a lot of reduction in manual errors. If you have 100 transactions, 80 to 90 of them can be automated because they are straightforward cases. That means we can eliminate human error from 90 percent of the transactions.

In addition, the automation solutions that we, as a partner, implement for our clients reduce the amount of manual work and they are able to use their critical human resources for other useful processes.

The prebuilt AI models that are available in AI Center are valuable to us for things like invoice processing.

UiPath is also a solution that is user-friendly for developers with a lot of prebuilt activities and ML models. It enables developers to quickly develop a solution.

We can also implement end-to-end automation.

I have been using UiPath for the past four years.

It's absolutely a stable product. It has been in the market for more than six years. Whatever solution we develop for a client is completely stable.

It's definitely a scalable solution.

The first level of support is that we search for solutions in the forum of the UiPath user community. Most of the time, we'll get a solution there. If not, we'll contact the technical support.

If I raise an urgent ticket, they quickly respond. Within an hour I'll get a call, and they'll arrange a team within two to three hours.

Positive

I used Automation Anywhere. Out of 10, UiPath stands somewhere around 8.5 to nine, while Automation Anywhere is around 7.5. The reason for that difference is UiPath's user-friendliness and versatility on the development side. For example, if you want to integrate it with VB code, UiPath provides a lot of options. And on the Excel automation side, UiPath is more reliable than Automation Anywhere.

In RPA, UiPath is far ahead compared to Automation Anywhere.

For some clients it's on-prem and other clients have deployed the cloud option.

The amount of time it takes to set up depends on the components a client purchases. If they only purchase the basic components of Orchestrator, a robot, and Studio, it may take only two to three days, or a maximum of five days, for the deployment. But if they go for high availability and some kind of DR setup, that would take an additional week of deployment. And for AI Center, it will take another week. Deployment usually requires two to three people. We involve the infra engineer, the database engineer, and a solution architect.

As for maintenance of UiPath itself, there are updates that may impact a solution and we will need to upgrade the packages, for example, legacy Windows. UiPath updates very frequently, and they don't support the earlier products. Officially, they are not supposed to support three of the versions. That means customers have to update within a year or two years.

UiPath solutions fit European and American clients, but especially for medium- and small-sized businesses in India, the cost may be the one factor that constrains customers. That's especially true when it comes to AI and ML solutions. It would be helpful for small and medium businesses if there were a reduced level or some kind of modified licensing.

On a scale from one to 10, where one is cheap and 10 is expensive, UiPath is an eight or nine for the region that we work in. But in other regions, it is somewhere around six to seven.

The solutions we provide to clients to automate their business processes need maintenance. They can usually take on a few processes on their own, but if it goes beyond 10 processes, some level of bot admin is required.

We don't need a proof of concept for a product that has been on the market for a long time. In the past three or four years, UiPath has been a proven solution. Customers can rely on the solution. We just have to make sure that their requirements can be met by the solution, and the other aspect is the cost. If these two aspects are taken care of, we can recommend that people go with UiPath.

UiPath is one of the leaders in RPA technology, and we get more business from it. Customers either want UiPath, Automation Anywhere, or Power Automate. But most of our business is with UiPath. They keep on updating it and are building their own RPA ecosystem. That makes it very easy to convince clients to stick with this one platform for multiple solutions.

We are a gaming company using UiPath to automate some development-related tasks. We integrate the API keys provided by UiPath into our app to extract user data that helps us improve our apps and games. We also use the UiPath application-building solution for Android or web app development.

Implementing UiPath has enhanced our workflow while reducing time spent on manual tasks, such as talking to customers or collecting user data manually. It provides a fast way to communicate with our clients and obtain data, saving a ton of time. We can reduce the number of team members because most things are managed by the AI. 

The AI functionality has been useful for us. UiPath can be integrated with multiple apps like Excel and ChatGPT, so it provides an efficient solution. The AI ability enables us to automate more tasks, and we get feedback on things we should improve. It was previously a manual task to compile all the change requests from our users, but the AI speeds up the process. 

UiPath has reduced the costs of our digital transformation because our project requires a lot of integration with web services. This used to cost us a lot of money because we had to pay for cloud services and domain names, but UiPath's API key allows us to integrate our games and applications directly.

The solution has reduced human error because we've automated some tasks that were formerly performed by team members. The tooling has been standardized, and we update it based on our current projects. The task-mining feature in UiPath enables error-free communication with other users in our application.

The most valuable feature is UiPath's integration with the AI chatbot for automating customer service in our web applications. We directly integrate ChatGPT to talk to the customer because it performs better than our old Python-based chatbot, which was really slow. ChatGPT has lots of parameters, so we can communicate efficiently with our clients. It's easy to build automations in UiPath using the no-code drag-and-drop interface. 

Task management is complex and difficult for new users. They should simplify the interface for new users. There are lots of flow charts and automation things in task management, so I would suggest streamlining it.

I have used UiPath for four months.

UiPath has been stable in the past four or five months that I've been using it. 

I consider UiPath highly scalable. They're constantly adding features, and it's always great to see a solution that stays up to date. 

I rate UiPath support eight out of 10. We contacted them a few times because we discovered some bugs while implementing our web applications. Their support team was helpful and fast. 

Positive

We previously used TXT. Me for our chatbot use cases, but now we use ChatGPT integrated with UiPath. 

UiPath's initial setup is straightforward and can be completed with a few clicks. Anyone can do it. We did it all in-house. It is easy to deploy everything in the UiPath solution. It only required two teammates to deploy. The UiPath solution doesn't require any kind of maintenance on our side, but we need to update our bots and apps when new features come out. 

UiPath has enabled us to reduce the size of our team, saving us some money. The integration is easy. We are also seeing more positive reviews from our users, and our web application is running faster.

UiPath is a little expensive compared to other solutions I've seen on the market, but you can try it for free for 60 days. It may be too pricey for startups and small businesses, but it will ultimately save your company money, so it's a worthwhile investment.   

We looked around but couldn't find a competing product that offers so many features in one app.

I rate UiPath nine out of 10. The solution provides a lot of value by offering features that competing solutions don't have. It has the latest features like ChatGPT integration and broad app support. 

The UI path is somewhat complex, so you should watch their videos. Their own website has tutorial videos that can teach you about the features. There are short videos and also webinars you can attend that explain the latest features to new users. 

We're using UiPath for healthcare use cases. It is primarily used for automating document-related tasks, such as moving documents around, classifying them, and extracting the information we need. 

UiPath has increased our accuracy to 99.99 percent and expanded our ability to process large volumes of data, making data processing more affordable and improving our profitability. It has helped reduce personnel time and enhanced productivity because we can run the bots 24 hours daily.

We can automatically scan documents and send the information through Twilio. Document scanning is tricky, but we can easily collect the data after finishing the process. The integration is smooth. 

The solution helps us share data between systems, which speeds things up. Previously, we were doing everything manually. Now, we can automate data tasks in Informatics with UiPath. 

UiPath enables us to pull patient information into a single dashboard with the help of a Power BI integration service. Power BI is our dashboard solution, and we integrate it via API. It's much easier to monitor the patients because we can see how many records were successfully processed and prepared. It's secure enough to comply with HIPAA because we can collect patient data and encrypt it. Automated scheduling helps the healthcare staff, particularly the doctors. 

I like the ability to extract emails and other data from scanned documents. The machine learning and AI features are helpful because we're processing tons of documents and warehousing the data. UiPath's Document Understanding makes that much easier. 

Document processing could be improved. It's challenging to build document automations. It would be helpful if UiPath provided some templates and prebuilt models. Citrix automation could be improved. It's static automation, and we cannot fully automate processes involving Citrix. Some elements aren't supported. 

I have used UiPath for around four years.

UiPath is generally stable, but the stability goes down when we do Citrix automation.

UiPath is scalable enough. We are using more than 20 licenses. 

I rate UiPath support 10 out of 10. I'm satisfied. When we raise a ticket, we get a response in a day or two. 

Positive

UiPath Studio is available in community and enterprise versions, but the UI doesn't work correctly in the community edition, so it's difficult to achieve 100 percent automation. I'm not responsible for the licensing, so I don't know how much it costs. 

I rate UiPath 10 out of 10. I recommend UiPath because it's better than other automation tools like Blue Prism. It's easy to use and has a large user community that you can rely on for support.
