Delivers increased productivity and streamlines fraud processing in banking, though technical support could be faster

Before AutomationEdge, we had to hire coder-level experts with Java or Python knowledge. This approach took considerable time and required error handling to automate processes. With this tool, all processes are automatically handled with errors, and no-code automation is available. The cost for a developer is now significantly lower. Previously, we hired highly efficient developers with high salary packages. The license cost of 5 to 10 lakhs per year for one person to automate is equivalent to a person's annual salary. With the license and a developer hired at 3 to 5 lakhs, we can automate 40 to 50 processes.

Significantly reduces manual effort and improves team workflows through automated ticketing

We've used Agent Builder, IXP, and Maestro for orchestration. We have created context-grounded searches or chatbots using context grounding, and we also use context grounding within an Agentic flow where a bot or agent reads ServiceNow tickets to determine whether it has been assigned to the right work group. If it has not been assigned correctly due to human error, it automatically reassigns it to the right group. I would assess Agentic AI's ability to extract data points as effective. We created an agent for the purpose of extracting data, though not in a document. We created what we call an email conversation agent that engages with a customer, vendor, or someone in an email conversation with a set goal of extracting specific data points for an action to be performed subsequently. The one automation we have deployed in production involves the agent interacting with team members to collect data points and create a ServiceNow ticket. We appreciate almost all features of UiPath Platform, with one of the most successful ones being the use of Coms Mining. Most of the new features related to AI have all been good, and we use Agentic. We have already created a few agents and have started to use Maestro for a few flows, though we are not yet there to orchestrate an end-to-end workflow. We have good ROI from the automations we have developed with UiPath Platform, which far exceeds the investment in the platform. It has saved us tens of thousands of hours in manual effort, making the team members happy to pursue other things of value.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The studio design is fine compared to other similar products. There is nothing extraordinary about it, but at the same time, there are not any negatives."

"It is a valuable tool for developing efficient solutions, especially in finance and banking."

"If we want to change your processes, we can code it from scratch, making it a beneficial feature of the product."

"The product's most valuable feature is the executor."

"Attended versus unattended automation in AutomationEdge has benefited my organization significantly."

"In general terms, the solution has helped our business by speeding up execution times."

"The staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect, even surprising us with a complimentary dessert to celebrate our anniversary."

"The most valuable feature of AutomationEdge is creating accounts."

More AutomationEdge pros

"It is easy to use as drag-and-drop features are present."

"Their core platform of Studio is valuable. The ease of use and the ability to build these automations quickly is definitely a highlight for us. Our average process from start to finish takes three to four weeks. We can knock out automations as quickly as we can identify them. That is probably the best feature I see."

"I like the tie-ins to other languages. Being able to use Python, C#, and VB has been very valuable because I can get a more diverse developer skill set on my team. If somebody's interested in a particular language, I can push them in that direction. If they want to get more into C#, for example, we can do that."

"The solution is easy to use, has a good user interface, and processes transactions quickly."

"It is easy to set up drag-and-drop features to configure workflows."

"Within UiPath Cloud itself, UiPath Insights has been excellent. Insights is one of the newer features we were excited about because we built custom reports, captured all that data in one place, and leveraged it in different areas. That was a challenge for us and created a support burden. We're automation developers, not report developers. When leadership wanted a new metric or anything, figuring it out was always a pain."

"Our key focus is on eliminating time-consuming tasks and enhancing reliability, especially in repetitive processes, which is where automation has proven to be a significant asset."

"UiPath Platform is a great platform in the RPA market."

More UiPath Platform pros

Cons

"It's not an intuitive tool."

"The ease of use is the main thing on which they really have to focus; if they want to go against the giants, it should be improved in ease of use, and it should be more user-friendly."

"Regarding stability and reliability, AutomationEdge is mid-range. When compared with other tools such as Automation Anywhere and UIPath, they are more stable than AutomationEdge."

"With the solution, customizing software can be time-consuming."

"The installation process could improve. It was difficult to complete."

"In the future, they should have a similar version for the cloud and on-premises, and the installation should be flawless within few minutes."

"We cannot use extra modules while working with AutomationEdge. It crashes if we have lots of data to process in Excel."

"The price of the solution could be improved."

More AutomationEdge cons

"Sometimes, we get an error when we are developing something in the UiPath Studio for Salesforce. It gives me an error when I create one line of code, but I don't get the error when I make the same line of code again. We also get some bugs when UiPath adds new features. If we're developing multiple activities on one core, it can slow the response times a bit, and it will take more time when we try to download the dependencies or other packages."

"We're actually looking into a document to understand the use case. It's essentially car titles, and we're struggling. We've used several different OCR engines to try to train the model and try to improve it. For us, a little more direction on how to actually achieve this would be useful. We've been struggling for a couple of months now trying to get it working and getting it to the level we need it."

"If they had more development assistance, it would be helpful."

"UiPath needs to incorporate French and Portuguese language-based training. It is not easy for people without an IT background."

"More videos are required; there are basic videos that can help you learn about the product, however, there need to be more in-depth videos to help you through certain tasks."

"The pricing for Orchestrator and unattended robots could use improvement. If we plan to roll out and implement more robots, then perhaps lower costs on Orchestrator and unattended robots would make adoption even easier."

"With respect to the stability, on a scale from one to five, I would rate this solution a four. There are some issues we've run into where we just can't exactly figure out what is causing the problems."

"There is a need for more videos and examples on upcoming enhancements and changes."

More UiPath Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is available at the lowest price."

"Pricing can be made better. Currently, I think the pricing is based on the market. The pricing also depends on the business partners that offer you the solution."

"The licensing for this solution should have a more competitive pricing model. The price is in the top five of similar products."

"If you are looking for a budget solution, you can consider AE. It has all the features. Scaling it is way easier because of the cost itself."

"It is expensive but its value can justify the cost."

"I give the price of the solution a nine out of ten."

"Price-wise, AutomationEdge is pretty affordable, making it not so expensive when you compare this with other tools in the market."

"Our licensing fees are approximately $140,000 USD annually, which includes all of the bots, Orchestrator, and the Studio."

"I think the setup cost is quite nominal, but the licensing might be on a higher side when compared to Automation Anywhere."

"UiPath's licensing could be cheaper and more dynamic. The licensing can sometimes feel high, especially for smaller companies, but generally, the pricing is reasonable when considering the time saved and corresponding costs."

"Its cost is a bit on the higher side. We are not very happy with their pricing. Most of the UiPath products are priced higher than competitors."

"The price of UiPath is comparatively higher than Selenium. Selenium is a free tool, and UiPath is quite expensive."

"Our licensing costs are roughly 1.1 million Danish krones a year."

"UiPath is priced for the market and is even better considering the value it brings."

"I can't speak to the exact price, however, recently I heard in a meeting that one license for Studio Path costs 2,825 Euros per year. This price is approximate and may fluctuate."
