UiPath Reviews

I work for the financial management office. We do a lot of manual processes. Our use case right now is that we look at all of our financial business processes, break them down, and identify the subprocesses that we can use UiPath to automate. This is very manually, so we try to find some efficiencies which have the most the value for our organization.

The most valuable feature of UiPath is we have direct access to read and write data in our applications, so we don't need to build a back-end interface.

The security needs improvement, especially in regards to managing the credentials.

I would also like to see better integration with Microsoft products.

We still have to test the final product. UiPath's recommendation is build another bot to validate the other bot's work. That is the scary part: If you make a mistake creating the bot, how can you recover from that mistake?

A lot of Elastic is not working, which is why the solution is not integrated.

While the commercial solution is successful, the government solution needs improvement. Government has so many regulation and requirements that still need to be address by the product.

It's a bit choppy, so people need to find workarounds.

We haven't deployed our first bot yet, so we are unable to gauge bot stability.

We tried to set it up in the virtual environment because we want to leverage a lot of the Microsoft features. They need to include all the API features going forward to make the virtual environment effective.

We are working closely with the UiPath technical team because we are pioneering putting this infrastructure on the cloud. 

The technical support team is responsive.

There is a big community.

We rely on our partner to identify a solution and give us a recommendation.

We set it up in Studio and Orchestrator. We are also ready to put the bot on our Amazon Cloud environment.

We had contractors, a consultancy company, help us build the system. They are a really good team, who also help deploy the solution for government agencies (DHS and DoD).

There are a couple options on market, like Automation Anywhere. UiPath is one of the leaders, so we picked UiPath.

Automation Anywhere is not on the DHS approved vendor list, so we couldn't pick them, as the approval process would take longer for them than UiPath.

Use UiPath in a more process-driven way, instead of BI-driven way.

We put everything on Amazon Cloud, even our development is cloud-based.

We haven't had a change to use UiPath Academy for RPA training yet.

This solution is to provide robotic process automation solutions. In simple words, it is to automate the steps a human user may have to take repetitively on one or more systems to complete any process flow.

Using this tool has improved the efficiency, accuracy, and compliance of certain automated operations by up to 75%, as it uses preprogrammed bots to execute tasks, which can operate 24/7 without getting tired. Such bots eliminate chances of human errors and increase speed and productivity by leaps and bounds.

I found the recording, screen scraping, data scraping, and integration with third-party tools like ABBYY most valuable because they not only make the whole automation easier and less effort taking, but also, they let us use the power of external systems by integrations.

Availability of free training and certificates is another most valuable feature of the product.

Debugging features need improvement maybe by providing a process and variable alteration abilities during the debug execution. Additionally, support with version control systems like Bitbucket and Git needs to be added.

One to three years.

It is reasonably stable.

It is highly scalable.

I did not use any other solution.

Very fast ROI, as it's the cheapest of the lot.

UiPath is cheapest. You can even start using it for free.

I evaluated Automation Anywhere.

We use the tool to create bots, which access the mailbox. Given a certain type of e-mail will make the treatment the same, from access to the internal system, making inventory movement, as well as informing teams of availability of material, need of purchases of the same, alert any problem and carry out price quotations on the internet using the data scrap.

We have been able to optimize process time and reduce costs with the bots since they work 24/7 and with a near-zero error rate. In addition, we have all the support of the community that is very present, always helping in doubts, as well as training that we carried out in our own platform that enabled us to grow bigger and faster.

Integration with PDF reading OCR, Excel/CSV, SAP, Outlook/Gmail, as they are primary functions in the day-to-day operations of a company.

• Improve the documentation about the tool, since some frameworks adopted by the company/community are difficult to use. 
• ReFramework, which is the main framework adopted by UiPath to improve the use of the tool is explained in the advanced course of the academy in a very confusing way.
  

We have tried other tools previously like Actiona and AA, but because of their limitations, recognition speed/intelligence, we migrated to UiPath because we saw clearly that the tool best suits the demands we had received.

I did not participate in the tool acquisition process.

As mentioned earlier, we used AA and Actiona, but UiPath was by far the best option.

If your company is looking for a fast, intelligent tool that has an active community to help you, UiPath is the best option.

• PMO processes
• SAP automation
• Tickets organization
• HR system management

For example: In SAP, the chain needs to be monitored, and when it fails, it should be restarted. So continuous monitoring was a difficult task. Automating this process saves lots of manual hours.

It saves time, cost, manual efforts; it avoids or eradicates human errors by automating business processes.

• ReFrameWork
• Orchestrator
• Debugging
• User-friendly
• Easy to learn
• Easy to find an error
  
  

• Citrix automation
• Work management
• Repository of authors for implementing any changes in the code
• Improvement while navigating in Orchestrator
• Include export job records option in a different format.

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.
