I use UiPath to automate processes that use different systems. This is the best use for the tool since it has integration with a lot of systems.
Works at a consultancy with 201-500 employees
It has a very good OCR engine
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
We were able to automate processes that use different systems with only one tool. This approach has decreased the time of development and increased profit.
What is most valuable?
- The integration with the systems: that makes it easy to automate any process.
- It also has a very good OCR engine.
What needs improvement?
It is very expensive to acquire a UiPath license, and this cost makes it not so easy to profit from the automation.

The best automation tool ever built

How has it helped my organization?
Helped to automate legacy applications and the solutions built are very robust. Also, the support that we have got from the UiPath team is excellent. We have got a very large community base for multiple queries and hence, overall a good product to work and design solutions.
What is most valuable?
- Activities are easy to use, you can even include third-party activities.
- It helps to build any complex solution in a short time.

Big increase in productivity, enables distribution of transfers to other departments for their control and management
What is our primary use case?
- Downloading of the daily movements on the websites of the banks and the entry of them all in the ERP.
- Distribution of transfers to other departments for their control and management.
How has it helped my organization?
The work of downloading movements of more than 100 accounts of the banks took several hours of work daily, but now it has been reduced to a few minutes of an unattended robot that sends all emails with the movements of the accounts of all the banks classified and ordered to users before their workday begins. The increase in productivity is maximum.
What is most valuable?
The developments with UiPath have been valid for the websites of all the banks which we work with. This with other RPA solutions has not been possible.
What needs improvement?
- Financial.
- It should be improved in such a way that the objects used in the designs should not be updated with the installation of new versions of UiPath as it happens right now.
For how long have I used the solution?
Less than one year.

One to three years.

UiPath Go! which is actually a growing store for RPA developers should be more popular and should have good acceptance rate for normal projects rather than industry based projects only.
For how long have I used the solution?
One to three years.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have not used any RPA tool earlier. It is my first time that I have used RPA.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I use the community edition which is actually a freeware version.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I researched about Blue Prism and Automation Anywhere, but the community was not as large as UiPath.
What other advice do I have?
It is one of the best tools which any RPA developer can use currently.

Lots of training and learning material are available, including an online academy
What is our primary use case?
UiPath has been working great for us in automating processes where data needs to be manually fed into one application and the result transposed to another one.
How has it helped my organization?
Data entry and data transfer between applications is a slow and error-prone process when done manually. RPA is a great solution to this problem. We're using attended automation for this, but productivity has increased by a factor of 10.
What is most valuable?
- Ease of use
- Lots of training and learning material available, including an online academy
- Quick learning curve for developers, with great templates
- Wide application support (both native and web-based)
- Frequent delivery of new features and bug fixes
- Great pricing when considering the productivity gains.
What needs improvement?
Developers complained about UiPath becoming slow when developing complex processes. This only happens when developing, not when running the automation, so we solved this by boosting developers laptops with more RAM.
For how long have I used the solution?
One to three years.

Works
Easy to use and has saved time for the employees that are using attended robots
What is our primary use case?
We are using this solution to implement automations for the banking domain, in the back office as well as the front office.
How has it helped my organization?
UiPath's complete package (Studio, Robot, and Orchestrator plus Kibana) improved our organization by saving time for the employees that are using attended robots and helping the organization implement other activities with the use of the unattended robots.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features that the UiPath package has are the ease of use and implementation of both Studio and Robot.
What needs improvement?
I would like to see periodic updates to activities and maybe new packages of activities. I also like the mobile Orchestrator, but I think it should be made in such a way that the user can create/update robots, processes, and queues.
For how long have I used the solution?
Less than one year.
