Creating proof of concepts for Oracle product integrations and form filling for clients. We are also in the works of using it to automate expenses in-house.
IT Consultant at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
It's easy to use and easy to pick up due to the low code functionality
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
UiPath has helped us link legacy Oracle systems that have little connectivity through other integration methods. We are on our way to being able to link UiPath with machine learning and artificial intelligence to automate expenses.
What is most valuable?
The ease of use and how easy it is to pick up due to the low code functionality. The Orchestrator is also invaluable.
What needs improvement?
Making variables easier to find, perhaps integrating a "recommended variable" section for functions, and to filter variables better.

An intuitive tool for that saves us time with repetitive and boring tasks
Pros and Cons
- "From jobs that require reading and processing emails, to jobs that require scraping information from web pages, this tool allows us to do anything that can be done by a human."
- "Definitely, the machine learning engine should be improved so that we can process more invoices and purchase orders in PDF format with ease."
What is our primary use case?
I've used UiPath Studio to develop Automation projects that help me automate repetitive and manual tasks. This lets me focus on other, more important jobs to do.
How has it helped my organization?
I've been able to automate some tasks and projects both for me and my colleagues to help us with boring repetitive work. From jobs that require reading and processing emails, to jobs that require scraping information from web pages, this tool allows us to do anything that can be done by a human.
What is most valuable?
UiPath studio recorder allows us to automate jobs very quickly and very easily.
The tool is intuitive and precise. It is easy to use with not a lot of programming knowledge needed. Also, there many built-in activities that let us automate tasks. If there is no activity available then it is probable that somebody has built one already.
What needs improvement?
Definitely, the machine learning engine should be improved so that we can process more invoices and purchase orders in PDF format with ease. There is a beta version but it is not stable. This is the only place where UiPath needs to improve because their competitors have this option and it is useful.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using UiPath and UiPath Studio for more than a year.

Head RPA and Quality Engineering
Improves our organization with efficient and accurate data processing
Pros and Cons
- "UiPath has improved our organization; the primary difference introduced by the application of the UiPath tool is the speed of processing and accuracy in the data processing."
What is our primary use case?
The primary use case of this solution is to generate a report by scraping data, filtering it and combining the data for input to another system.
How has it helped my organization?
UiPath has improved our organization; the primary difference introduced by the application of the UiPath tool is the speed of processing and accuracy in the data processing.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable feature is the unattended robot, it adds a lot of value. Besides, there are certain situations where attended robots are employed to perform specific tasks.
What needs improvement?
Making improvements in the processing speed would be a good idea. I have experienced that sometimes during the development of robots, it becomes prolonged and unresponsive. Also, sometimes errors pop out of nowhere for already working simulations. This is not a significant limitation, but it would be nice if these instances can be eradicated.
For how long have I used the solution?
One to three years.

Power Electronics Engineer at Carrilho Engineering
It's very easy to set up an automation process
What is our primary use case?
We use UiPath mostly for automating data entry forms and automatically copy-pasting between different apps.
How has it helped my organization?
We reduced a 10 people team to just one person, who just stands by most of the time and monitors the robotization process in action.
What is most valuable?
- It's very easy to set up an automation process.
- The application is very intuitive and user-friendly.
- There're also lots of training classes and training material available.
What needs improvement?
Our developers experienced some sluggishness while developing a very large automation. This only happened during automation though; the actual automation was not slow at all while running.
For how long have I used the solution?
One to three years.

Works at Onq technologies
The computer vision package uses a powerful OCR engine to recognize more accurately the elements in the remote screen
What is our primary use case?
Development of bots to increase the posting of payments in a billing software for clients. This software is completely controlled via remote desktop, so there are sometimes that the speed of the bots is affected. We also review medical documents and save the records in this software. Currently, we are implementing the bots to check some docs and save them in batches for better control of the files.
How has it helped my organization?
Now we can process more payments in a short time, and use our human agents to take care of other tasks. Also, we handle better the exceptions that the billing software throws and can restart the job, giving some extra rules or parameters. We are still evaluating in which other processes we can run the bots for automating. We have got a server to increase the number of bots and make even more number of tasks. So far we configure bots for the jobs, more volume of files and information can be taken care of.
What is most valuable?
For our specific case, as we work with virtual and remote desktops, we find quite useful the new features that UiPath brings to work with such environments. The most recent is the computer vision package that uses a powerful OCR engine to recognize more accurately the elements in the remote screen and get the values we need or consider appropriated. Also, in general, this software is so easy to use and learn. How to use it takes no more than a full four weeks during the official training. The interface is so friendly, and the workspace is customizable.
What needs improvement?
Even though the new features of OCR recognition have improved, they still are incomplete and do not recognize some elements. Fortunately, they included an error report system to notify these issues. Also, UiPath has to develop a better way to show us the errors and where are they located in our project files. Finally, it would be great if they add new and powerful programming languages like C# or C++, to have more options at the development time.
For how long have I used the solution?
Less than one year.

Works at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
Easy installation, maintenance, and competitive cost
What is our primary use case?
Reformulate simple processes such as API access and virtual environments, e-mail access, spreadsheet completion and systems.
How has it helped my organization?
- Positive impact on ROI
- Process control and integrity of information
- Reduction of expenses and reduction of procedural errors.
What is most valuable?
- Easy installation, maintenance, and competitive cost
- Active community, forum, and academy with resources for individual user development.
What needs improvement?
- Arguing between scopes and activities is still confusing.
The mode of argument transfer of a scope (or activity) is done by a screen where a variable is indicated as output to which the subsequent activity (or scope) is indicated as input. In large projects, these arguments need to be identified in an easy, fast and unquestionable way. Assigns a variable value to then assigns that variable to the output argument, and then assigns an argument as input to another activity. I think this transfer should be done in the panel of variables and not in the properties of the activity
REFramework is good, but still very rigid.
REframework is a good template but besides being very generic it is also rigid with respect to error handling. Basically follows the default entry> processing> output which does not encompass part of the applications in RPA, we must remember that the tool is for scripting and falling into the programming vices is a mistake. Overall it is a good way to start processes but during development it will be completely changed
For how long have I used the solution?
Less than one year.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We used a free application with few features.
What was our ROI?
A complete and agile solution for companies of any size.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Easy installation and maintenance with lower costs than practiced in the market.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I studied all three major RPA markets, "Automation Anywhere" and "Blue Prism".

Works
I find it's easy to scrape data
What is our primary use case?
On using UiPath, once, we had a problem while reading data from the browser that was on a virtual machine as it was not providing the accurate text using Google OCR, as the background was changing for the web page. So we found an alternative solution to get the process working.
As a benefit, it is really beneficial as it provides vast support and every feature is there in the tool. Also, the recording feature really helps while developing the process. One more feature is that in the variable tab, if the name of the variable is changed, then it will be reflected in the whole process.
How has it helped my organization?
The business value that you can create with it is immense. And you don't need IT for it!
- Cost management
- Creating internal/operational efficiencies
- Driving revenue growth
- Enhancing decision making
- Improving business process outcomes
- Improving customer relations/service
- Reducing time to market.
What is most valuable?
Currently, I am working on (resume shortlisting bot) benefits I can explain according to developers' point of view. I find it's easy to scrape data. I worked on few projects on an older version of Studio, still, when opening it in a newer version, I don't have to make much effort.
What needs improvement?
Nothing as such, but one thing that annoys me the most during development is, we need to capture images for clicking, and for that, we need to maintain the resolution of that image. UiPath should be smart enough to sync that whole thing up.
For how long have I used the solution?
One to three years.
