UiPath Reviews

To automate the manual tasks at my workplace. Using this tool, we can quickly develop automations.  

At my workplace, I developed three automations which saved a lot of efforts and avoided manual interventions. We saved thousands of manual efforts.

• Screen scraping
• Data scraping
• Web recording, etc. 

The features of this tool are really awesome to use and very helpful to automate tasks.

There are no cons I found in this tool. A free license would help everyone to learn about this tool.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

I've been using UiPath and UiPath Studio for more than a year.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

We use UiPath mostly for automating data entry forms and automatically copy-pasting between different apps.

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.

• 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Reformulate simple processes such as API access and virtual environments, e-mail access, spreadsheet completion and systems.

• Positive impact on ROI
• Process control and integrity of information
• Reduction of expenses and reduction of procedural errors.

• Easy installation, maintenance, and competitive cost
• Active community, forum, and academy with resources for individual user development.
  

- 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

We used a free application with few features.

A complete and agile solution for companies of any size.

Easy installation and maintenance with lower costs than practiced in the market.

I studied all three major RPA markets, "Automation Anywhere" and "Blue Prism".

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have been working as a UiPath RPA developer for two years and three months. Using UiPath, I have provided more than 20 solutions over six different projects. UiPath was one of the leading RPA tools and it will be easier to develop when compared to other RPA tools.

UiPath has done a huge impact for our customers by replacing the linear jobs with robots. Tasks done by robots were fast and highly efficient.

Invoking VB.NET/C# code is one of the major features over other RPA tools. And recently, UiPath has implemented Citrix native automation for virtual machine automation which is an exceptionally great feature.

So far, UiPath has been good in every area. I would like to get more features in ML-related activities. ML will be the future for processing free text. Like for example , while processing free text from the customer comments, using uipath we cant extract the required data from the free text. Incase if you got ML related activities then it will be easier to provide the solution using UiPath
