I have implemented finance and pharma-based solutions using UiPath. I have automated processes like cash management, invoice validation, Java applications, and Citrix-based applications using UiPath. The application involved was Oracle EBS, and it was a Citrix environment. Processes mainly included cash management, month-end closure, and bank reconciliation to name a few.
Works
The studio for development is quite intuitive and user-friendly
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Citrix and mailing capabilities in UiPath has definitely brought a change in the thought process of my organization, and they have started taking UiPath as a more serious tool with better and enhanced capabilities. In fact, we have delivered a few great POCs.
What is most valuable?
- The flexibility and easy-to-use platform of UiPath make it on a par with other RPA vendors.
- The studio for development is quite intuitive and user-friendly.
- Also, what I like most about UiPath is that it has 400+ inbuilt activities, and on top of that, it has introduced customization activities making it more valuable.
What needs improvement?
Activities or any feature that can reduce or eliminate code stuff would be a great introduction to UiPath. Also, if more functionality can be added to queue management, it would be of immense help.

Senior software developer at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
When it comes to RPA, the scalability and adaptability with minimum inputs provided are paramount
What is our primary use case?
POC and implementation were done for the in-house team, automating the penalty system of transportal services where the penalty on a no-show user is being calculated, and every user is intimated the monetary value of a no-show. This is then intimated through the mail, and also, the list of such users is sent to the payroll department to debit the penalty from the monthly payroll. Windows Server 2012 was used and some PowerShell scripting apart from UI automation using UiPath.
How has it helped my organization?
As mentioned above in the use case of the in-house development, it really improved the way the organization was doing earlier.
What is most valuable?
When it comes to RPA, the scalability and adaptability with minimum inputs provided are paramount.
UiPath is easy to use with minimum inputs given, and that's the best part of UiPath as an RPA tool.
Apart from it, the free e-learning videos UiPath Academy is offering is of very much help for the enthusiast and learners. It's a great idea that the UiPath team started and that's the best part where learning a tool is provided free of cost, that too with the diploma.
What needs improvement?
UI automation is perfect, but the scripting part could be improved. Let's say we need to run some scripts on some server, so the command being sent and the response received over the activities could be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
One to three years.

I like the partnership with state-of-the-art applications such as ABBYY or Microsoft OCR
What is our primary use case?
Fast-tracking the interfacing between an in-house planning application and an international partner's planning application.
Using RPA to do check and balances on invoices, and consequently uploading this data to a tax engine and extracting VAT, European sales listing and Intrastat reports. Finally, these reports are uploaded to the dedicated web portals.
Extracting handover data of wagon from a data lake and entering it into the follow-up application, since there is no direct integration yet.
How has it helped my organization?
Via UiPath, we were able to save a workload equivalent of multiple FTEs, which can now be directed at other more important tasks.
What is most valuable?
- The community edition
- The partnership with state-of-the-art applications such as ABBYY or Microsoft OCR.
What needs improvement?
- When automating complex projects, the application becomes sluggish due to the interfacing load.
- Licensing model is too complicated and has a lot of room for improvement.
For how long have I used the solution?
One to three years.

Works
Desktop automation features and API services are valuable features
What is our primary use case?

How has it helped my organization?
- It's easy to use and develop the solution, and simple to deploy.

Senior Production Engineer at a manufacturing company with 11-50 employees
The online academy was very helpful

How has it helped my organization?
UiPath made the production workflow more efficient, reliable and profitable. The licencing price and the time spent setting it up was paid for after a month.
What is most valuable?
- It's very easy to learn and get started.
- Developers got it right away.
- All apps (desktop and web) were integrated without any issue.
- The online academy was very helpful.

Debugging has some room for improvement, but other than that everything seems to be just amazing. UiPath is clearly headed in the right direction.
