UiPath Reviews

It's really easy to learn. We have been able to automate some of the tasks we do here in the company. We can replace human workers doing labor-intensive repetitive tasks, and focus them on other more difficult ones — no need to spend money on training new people, hiring, etc. Just as we built the bot, it will do it all on its own.

Our company is focusing on the healthcare industry. We billed forms to the insurance companies, and we have to receive the payments and update their respective patient. We work with denials, exceptions, explanations of benefits. We also get information that needs to be updated in the system. Sadly, all this is inside a "Citrix environment," so we are a little slow at the time of developing our bots. But we know that this will bring great benefits to our company in the near future.

• UiPath has been of great help when planning on reducing cost in our production.
• Improvement in quality, as the bot is more accurate
• No need to spend money on training new people, hiring, etc.

The abrupt updates have been an issue for me at the time of developing my bots. I've been getting errors every time an update is made, slowing my developments and automation. It will be good if they could start sending an email to the users letting them know about future coming updates so they can be prepared.

Also, having up-to-date training material would be really awesome, we have found that some documents inside the Academy are pretty old (maybe 2 yrs already?) So it would be awesome if they could have those up to date.

Setting Uipath is really easy and they have a LOT of training information in their Academy, so no way you will get lost

Pricing, a little bit expensive but it will be worth it at the end, as you will ended up reducing human for the bots

The other options we looked at were Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism. But comparing pricing, ease of used, and training Materials we believed that Uipath was our best option.

As our company's grown, we've used UiPath to automate our app end function, timesheets, invoicing, and expenses processes.

We also see with our clients that they are able to reduce headcount based on the fact that people are no longer having to do mundane tasks. We do work into claims,law companies, and document management companies. These types of organizations really see the benefit through RPA and UiPath.

I would say the most valuable features of UiPath are the scalability and the stability of the product as well as the ease of use and rapid deployment. It's easy to learn. It's easy to get return on investment when using UiPath.

We tend to see that clients tend to deploy a blend of both attended and unattended bots. This tends to balance out because the unattended bots are the ones that augment existing processes and cherry pick out parts that a human still sits doing, whereas unattended bots are probably the more valuable in terms of removing the human element altogether.

One of the major things that we've been looking forward to is around project dependencies. Previously, it's not been possible within a product to take a reusable element and deploy it as a live based piece of content, but that's now been chipped within the product. So, we're extremely excited about seeing that in there because, from our point of view where we've got many clients, that re-usability of our own intellectual property across them is going to really see some benefits for us.

We find the support absolutely superb. We've had excellent responses whenever we'd had issues, either technical or around licensing. We tend to get a response within two hours, which is exceptional in the IT industry. Sometimes with other companies we've dealt with, we might not get a response for two weeks. So, they certainly rank extremely highly when it comes to support.

It's extremely straightforward. Complexity around set up tends to come when implementing the orchestrated product and deploying live robot stakes, managing those, but again, I wouldn't describe it as a complex activity whatsoever. In terms of setting up and actually developing, that takes a matter of minutes.

From our own internal point of view, I wouldn't say we have hard and fast ROI incentive cash because it's simply free to power up and resource to doing more interesting things. I would say that once we had implemented UiPath, we saw the return in a non-tangible sense within a month. I would say it's eliminating human errors probably by about 60%.

I would say in terms of our internal organization, it's probably reduced the amount of time spent doing admin activities from a person's point of view by about 50%.

I would rate the product nine out of ten. The rapid deployment and the scalability are huge features. The only reason I wouldn't give it a ten is because when it comes to bugs in the product, we don't necessarily get fixes  until the next release. So, there's not always a maintenance fix release.

We're doing a pilot. It's something that we trying to use to obtain more sales automatically. It's about selling tickets, and we're building the capability to do that more quickly and reduce costs.

We seen have operational cost reductions. We have improved our efficiency and capabilities. So, there are a lot of benefits.

It has met our expectations.

UiPath Orchestrator is a tool which allows to us to orchestrate all the commands, like a manager and their employees. We can do a lot of processes, not just in one department. It has flexibility, where you can do a process then to move to another process when there is nothing to do. With one robot, you can program it to do many processes.

The programming seems easy.

We are still testing stability, but it seems okay.

It provides a lot of scalability, because we can do a lot of things with it.

The customer support is not that good. You have to send a ticket, and there is no one to call and talk to. When you are talking about operations, it has to be live. Otherwise, you lose money. I would change this a little bit. I think there's an opportunity to improve.

I'm using the UiPath Academy right now. I'm trying to understand and learn, and it is good, which I like.

We had a lot of manual tasks inside the company. People were doing things manually, then they would try to do those tasks faster, which was sort of impossible. With a robot, we automate those tasks 24/7.

When you take the training, it seems complicated, but it's not. You do have to prepare in terms of knowledge. 

We are building it right now, but I will probably have three or four developers on my team.

We saw ROI in 15 days.

I would rate its performance benefits as an eight out of 10.

We also considered Blue Prism.

We went with UiPath because they have a lot of experience in the market. People really trust them. There are also a lot of use cases of success.

Check the use cases, like cases of successes that they had with other companies first. It can be useful for them in making a choice.

Most important criteria when selecting a vendor:

• Product stability
• It can't be complicated.

We use UiPath for automation.

As a consultant, we have been involved in many client projects and deployed UiPath using a hybrid model.

UiPath enables us to implement end-to-end automation.

UiPath's User Community is good.

UiPath helped us reduce our on-premises footprint.

UiPath helped us reduce human error.

UiPath's support for various types of interfaces is the most valuable feature as it aids in automating the end-user systems we want to streamline.

I would like to have the ability to make changes at different stages of the development process without having to start from the beginning each time.

Automating with UiPath is not as easy as it appears in the advertisements.

I have been using UiPath for seven years.

UiPath is stable, but not 100 percent reliable. I would rate its stability an eight out of ten. If we need to restart the project, open the file again, or close down the program and open something else, UiPath does not behave consistently every time.

UiPath is highly scalable.

The initial setup is straightforward. The deployment takes around one month.

I give UiPath a seven out of ten.

Maintenance is required. We need to make changes to the code due to updates in the systems on which the automation is running. There are updates in the IT environments, such as operating systems, and also in the UI part. The newer features in UiPath bring new updates, and its components necessitate modifications to the code.

We're still building up the program, but right now our primary use case is for report review. We're looking to branch that out more.

It's reviewing reports. I worked for a bank and there are reports of transactions from the previous day. UiPath was looking for anomalies for fraud and things like that.

It's still very early on but we have caught a few instances of fraud that we would not have if we weren't using UiPath. 

UiPath has reduced human error. We're very early, so it's not a big impact, but we did find a few instances of fraud that we would not have found without it. 

We see time savings for our users in the sense that they now can do more tasks that should have been done all along but weren't getting done. That's more where the gains have been this far.

I like the whole ecosystem. They're not just looking at the automation tool, they're looking at automation from end to end. 

It's pretty easy to build automations. I have a coding background so it's not particularly challenging for me to use Studio, but for a person who does not have that coding background, I think that the Visual Builder guides you through the process pretty easy.

UiPath Academy is a good training program for people without that coding background. It's good to get them into the mindset of how exactly flows works of automation.

The Academy offers us familiarization with Studio and how it functions.

The API integrations need improvement. They should build a better framework for the ability to integrate with other external APIs.

I have been using UiPath for less than a year. 

I would rate the stability an eight out of ten. 

It's pretty straightforward. It either runs or it doesn't. Occasionally it does crash and we've had to restart services and whatnot to get it going again.

We haven't been using it enough to see how it can scale. 

There are two ITs who use it in my company.

We have plans to increase usage. 

We don't really see our staff as being good candidates for citizen development. There are a few that could, but we do plan to expand out into other departments as far as gathering ideas and implementing processes for other departments.

Their support is pretty average. It's not good or bad. It's off-shored. There are always difficulties with cultural differences and language barriers. They know what they're doing but sometimes it takes a while going around in circles to get the question that you're asking across. That's pretty normal. Most companies are the same way. I would say all companies have huge room for improvement there.

The initial setup was pretty straightforward. It was easy. The installation instructions walk you through the process. We didn't run into any problems. It took less than a week. 

We also looked at AntWorks and Blue Prism. We went with UiPath because of the maturity of the product that seemed far more mature than its competitors. The product seemed more thought out.

Based on our experiences, I would say you have to have employees that are dedicated to doing this. This can't be done as a side project.

I would rate UiPath a nine out of ten. Nothing is completely perfect. The stability of it could use a little bit of improvement. The support is not great. UiPath is very good, but no one is perfect.

I have been using UiPath in the healthcare area and right now, I am developing a healthcare project. I have also used it in retail projects and we have automated entire retail systems for vendors and customers. This has given them more reliable action and product services that are beneficial for both the organization and the user.

UiPath helps us in the execution of processes that need to be done repetitively, like data entry or content migration. It is fast, affordable, efficient, and easy to use.

Healthcare is also an important project that we have running. It saves time for patient eligibility. 

The most valuable features of UiPath are its activities. There are a number of activities available in the UiPath Studio, which are enough to automate all types of tasks.  Since UiPath is new in the market, it is constantly being updated every day, and new features are being added accordingly to the user requirements. 

I would like to see the computer vision activity updated.

There should be a click-event-update activity present in the UI Studio where we can click a link and the result should act as a button. Right now, this feature is not available in such conditions.

The OCR should be made faster to save more time.

If I am buying production licenses from UiPath it should provide at least two or three nonproduction licenses for further use.

The Studio should be made interactive like Orchestrator.

The debug option in Studio is not working on breakpoints, which is an issue that I have already highlighted in the forum.

I have been using the UiPath and its services for the past year. 

I would rate the stability of this solution and eight out of ten.

With respect to scalability, I would rate it at seven or eight out of ten.

I would rate the UiPath technical support a ten out of ten.

Prior to using UiPath, we used both Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism. We have found UiPath to be more reliable, easier to use, more stable, and 100% accurate while performing actions on any element or running automation anytime.

The initial setup was straightforward.

We implemented this solution with our in-house team.

ROI for automation depends on the projects, timing, scope, and reliability.

The handling of different types of insurance tasks.

It has mainly taken the load off of employees. We had a huge amount of tasks which weren't being done. It provides our employees time to do their other work, since we automated very manual things. 

We are currently using automation technology at a small level, as we just got started with UiPath and its technology. 

Its ability to remove manual tasks.

I would like better stability and possibly some tools to determine why robots are failing.

The stability is not great. UiPath is okay, but when it interacts with our programs, it often fails. It is difficult to determine why it fails. We are utilizing a lot of time trying to figure out why it is unstable.

The implementation time was very long due to instability.

The scalability is good.

The customer support was slow at the start. After a while, they come up to speed, then everything was okay.

The initial setup was easy because it was logical, but afterwards, it was harder to make UiPath function. While it is simple to set up and get started on. To make it stable, that takes a lot of hard work.

We use it in Citrix. The implementation was easy. We just installed on some VM servers.

We did try Blue Prism in another part of the organization, while using UiPath in our part of the organization. We decided to stay with just UiPath.

Since it was two different parts of the company, so you can't compare the decision. It was a decision made by management.

Because we are spending so much time on debugging, it has not saved us time yet.

We just use Unattended Robots, not Attended Robots.

I am not using the UiPath Academy because I do not put in the robots. I make sure that they run in the background. I do know some of my colleagues are looking at using the Academy, but they have to find time for it.

Using UiPath, we are currently solving tax calculation, mortgage calculation, etc. We have realized that UiPath doesn't actually require you to use code to develop workflows. These can be created by using simple drag-and-drop activities. This is helpful almost everywhere. Their community edition being free helps a lot.

We have been using UiPath for quite some time now, and I have a lot of positive remarks. UiPath is a tool which can be learned easily by anyone and everyone. UiPath itself provides videos and assessments for you to watch and learn accordingly. These things are available for free and certifications provided are freely available also. This tool will be useful when you need to automate a complex business process, and since UiPath has an immense amount of activities, this is very possible. Regular updates are pushed, and the notes are released as well on the community forum.

• Easy use of activities and flowcharts
• REFramework for error handling
• Different types of platforms to create a process are available like flowcharts, sequence, transactional, agent process, and REFramework.
• Depending on the type of the process, we can choose which of the above-mentioned type we can use.
• Version control like SVN, TFS is available in the latest versions.

• As compared to other tools in the market, this is a little costly.
• Sometimes the UiPath Studio hangs while running complex processes.
• Whatever flows I develop using previous versions, it becomes a little difficult to open the same in latest versions. We need to update all the package which was used earlier.

End-to-end support provided.

Totally impressed.

Totally satisfied with the 24/7 support.

Yes, Automation Anywhere. But it was very costly, and support wasn't provided as much as required.

Totally straight and guided setup.

In-house.

Process automation with regard to beeline automation and VPN client authentication process automation.

• Good tool, it's extremely easy to use since it has just a drag-and-drop functionality.
• Setup and installation are very easy.
• Good for beginners since the community version is easily available.

Nope.

• UiPath is easy to learn. They have the UiPath Academy (online courses) which is easy to follow, and it helps to learn how to use the platform and what an RPA is.
• There is an official forum too! So if you have any doubt, there will always be someone to help you to solve it.
