UiPath Reviews

Process automation in a global business center of a global mining and manufacturing company. We are mainly focusing on financial processes (e.g., reporting, fixed assets creation, invoice management) and HR processes (personal data sync between SAP and local payroll systems, automatic administration of external consultants).

We've already implemented 30+ small processes to automate, built a knowledge center of RPA and saved a couple of FTEs through the automation journey.

Orchestrator - the central management component and the screen capturing part of the development tool (Studio).

User access management - to be able to set up user rights in a more sophisticated way. In the current version if you grant e.g Execute access to a user it can execute all robotized process in the given environment, you cannot specify the right on a process level.

We mostly use UiPath for downloading reports into Excel files, reconcile reports and generate a result which is sent to the users. It is a faster means for automation. 

We like the ability to capture some of the features on a screen for the application. We also really like the UI, and the design is pretty good. 

I think the only issue we have faced is with the upgrade compatibility. 

We are considering other options that are more stable. 

We only have five really small programs right now. So, scalability is not an issue for us. 

We have not had a need for UiPath tech support. 

Other departments in our organization were using Blue Prism. I do not know why they chose that versus UiPath. It is possible that they were looking for a higher level of security and stability. 

The pricing is very good. The license does not have to be in a bundle, like in other competitor products. You only have to purchase at least 10 from the beginning, for one year.

I use it to provide training on UiPath.

In the past, I have used UiPath to automate the debit card activation web portal. The task is to read data from Excel and put it into the web portal.

I used it for DMS portal automation as well, after reading scanned PDFs and updating data in the DMS portal.

Currently, I work as a trainer, and the community edition has helped me train many developers in Uipath.

The most valuable feature is Orchestrator Queues, as it comes in really handy when processing large sets of data.

I find the great GUI of UiPath very appealing.

The training available in UiPath is really awesome and the material makes you automation-ready so that one can work on real-time projects. 

Below are the three features that need improvement:

• Allow "Wait for task" to be used in XAML files other than Main.
• Allow mail-type variable to be stored in Orchestrator queues.
• I would like a way to add priority to the outgoing mails from UiPath studio.

I have been using UiPath for one year.

I would rate stability at 90%.

Easily scalable by buying licenses from platform.uipath.com.

The technical team at UiPath is really very helpful.

I did not use another RPA solution prior to UiPath.

The initial setup is straightforward.

I would rate my vendor team a nine out of ten.

My advice is to use the community edition first to automate a small business process and then go full-on with UiPath.

I evaluated Automation Anywhere.

 Its great software. Just download UiPath and try for yourself.

Our primary use case is to develop automation projects, like automating Excel activities for repetitive tasks and operations on files. We also automate operations on Citrix. With UiPath we can easily manage all of the projects in a single page (i.e. in orchestrator).

We have used this product to implement automation for several things, including:

• UI automation that updates a project's status based on conditions
• Gathering data from web sites
• Excel functions related to HR operations
• File checks, to determine the validity
• Python and .NET scripts to connect to different databases

The most valuable features are Activities, Orchestrator, and UiPath Go!

The UiPath Orchestrator is one source to easily manage all bots.

I would like to see all a full-featured version for mobile devices.

In some Activities, there are inconsistencies between versions where the most recent does not have support for throwing the same kinds of errors.

The support from the community, as well as from UiPath themselves, is awesome. Also, users have the advantage of training videos and material, including free certifications.

We did not use another solution prior to this one.

This solution is priced less compared with other products.

My primary use cases are the change of customer addresses or their banking information in our systems.

Easy to handle software, as the "programming" of the robots is done through drag and drop activities. That makes the processes quick to automate.

The software, in general, is very well done, as there are many add-ins for different use cases/environments to implement robots. Especially Excel and SAP activities are working very well.

OCR and image recognition are already working quite good. But there is still room to improve when it comes to the accuracy, then scraping of scanned PDFs, etc.

Used widely in automations of business processes of all kinds. 

There's a lot of different useful features in UiPath that makes it easy to use and able to create even very complex process automations.

Working with UiPath on developing automations, I'm able to create intuitive workflows that are easy to maintain and understand. The performance of automations is also one of the best in the market.

I like how easy it is to implement code in the process flow and how great the community is. That helps to solve problems much faster.

I think debugging is the worst part of UiPath. Compared to some different RPA tools, this is not the best, but it's still not a problem to troubleshoot any issues that you might have while creating a flow.

• To execute the automation of ticket creation in ServiceNow 
• For the critical situation: creating an incident 
• For the request: creating a request in ServiceNow.

• Return on investment is high.
• Reduces the time for accomplishing repetitive tasks.
• Allows developers to learn new technology and help in implementing the same.

• UiPath free tool availability and free certification for the developer
• Web service activity is helpful in implementing web-based automation.

• It should add the feature of intelligent automation.
• Also, to interpret human decisions using Amazon Alexa as well as machine learning.

It is used widely within our organization. As of right now, we already have a lot of robots in the live environment.

Automation in the data management department to automate few processes to help the operation team increase their production.

Reading content for the robot to process with our own logic, and it is very easy to develop with great user interfaces.

Handling if-else statements for schedules. It would be great if it had elements which could take care of running the job.
