They should fully develop Robocorp Studio because it would attract a lot of people to the Robocorp platform. Right now, they have Visual Studio Code for traditional coding. If they are providing any studio with drag-and-drop functionality, it will help upcoming developers or CDM developers.
There are certain libraries in Python, such as those dealing with PDF automation and word files, that require the presence of certain external dependencies in the environment to be successfully used. Currently, the containers that have been provided on the platform do not have such support. We need a way for custom configuration of those containers to allow for the addition of those external dependencies.

We've had conversations with the head of Robocorp over Slack about things we want to improve. We want to introduce some packages, but the authentication tokens and many other things are not there. We can do it in Python, but the custom packages are unavailable. We would also like an integrated PDF reader and better integration with custom solutions. The built-in Excel customization is limited, but we can still accomplish what we want using Python. We must rely on Python to customize processes in Robocorp. I don't know about the latest IDE from Robocorp, but the old one doesn't have a lot of activities. I don't know if they have updated the UI in the latest version, but they could improve that. The UI selector isn't that great. It would be nice to take elements from the console and customize parts. Everything is based on command lines, which I do not like. A flow chart with block items would be good for optimizing code. I would also like more support tools for developers so it's easier to understand when passing code to others.
The features of the solution are really good. We are starting to transfer the process from UiPath to Robocorp. An additional feature I'm looking for in Robocorp is SAP automation.
Most robotic process automation initiatives fail to get off the ground because the current drag-and-drop offerings are expensive and frustrating for developers. Robocorp is a Python-based open source stack for automating applications and processes. Automate any task you can imagine with hundreds of keywords and libraries with performance, scalability, and security built-in. Our cloud robots can run on any platform from any machine, and scale horizontally to ensure mission-critical processes...
The platform's documentation could be better.

The deployment process is an area for improvement. It would be great if they could make it a bit easier in the next update.

The solution could be more stable.
We use the latest version of the process studio and it takes up a lot of CPU storage. In our case, this has been up to 14 GB of storage.
I don't like the complexity of deployment.
