We performed a comparison between EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA and UiPath based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The tool follows a role-based working model to create things. It helps to track what others are doing with the system."
"AssistEdge made it so that the reps didn't need to maneuver through 10 or 20 different systems. We tied all that together in the background, so the reps had a shared UI, and everything else happened in the background without their knowledge. When they were retrieving data, it was done in the background through automation and pulling up to that generic UI layer"
"Good email automation and XL automation."
"It is great for automation. It can reduce the time needed for the entire work assignment, freeing up time for something more exciting."
"UiPath is easy to use with very simple drag and drop functionality that allows you to automate processes without knowledge of coding."
"The tool's most valuable features are document processing and AI Center."
"Document processing is a valuable feature in UiPath."
"The scraping for data extraction is very important. There is also a connection with all Microsoft tools, like Outlook, Excel, Word, et cetera. And OCR, the Document Understanding feature, is important because we have clients that ask us to read data from scanned documents."
"The most valuable feature really depends on the use case. My favorite now is Document Understanding and the AI models that are being pre-trained. That's allowing us to do more, out-of-the-box, without having to do custom programming."
"It allows for rapid development in which we can see value back quickly."
"UiPath has a very good user interface, and the automation is a great feature. New users can easily understand UiPath."
"AssistEdge isn't a simple tool like Blue Prism or other RPA solutions with configurable items that you can drag and drop. This involved a lot of hard coding, which posed two challenges. One, we did not have that skillset, so we depended on Infosys. Two, it's a beast to go back and update or make changes when things are hard coded because you can't just move those configurable items back around."
"Lacks integration with third party tools."
"The tool's alternatives work on drag-and-drop functionality without creating custom code. We don't have an in-built queue system and use RabbitMQ for it. The solution also doesn't have a framework."
"One feature I think it needs - from a documentation perspective - is the ability to easily extract variable details and data... Sometimes it's difficult to extract those, and if you're not tracking them while you build, you can quickly get into 200 to 300 variables in use, especially using the RE Framework where you're passing workflow arguments in and out. I would like to see something like that."
"UiPath is very stable. I have not had any issues in terms of that. The only issue we used to have was if a website were to change or an application were to change, but we have found ways to work around that and deal with those types of situations."
"It is a little confusing at first. I came from Blue Prism where you have one dashboard and very little jumping back and forth. In Orchestrator, you have menus, and there is a lot of jumping between tabs and sub-tabs to get to the specific information, but once you learn that, it is pretty intuitive. There is just that initial learning curve if you're coming from another system. Blue Prism does everything in the one pane, and even though UiPath is neatly laid out, you just got to learn how they laid it out."
"The UiPath solution doesn't currently provide unique testing for mobile devices."
"I'm learning it for the training for the RPA associate, and I'm about 70% through there. UiPath's academy courses have been helpful in onboarding or being up to speed with UiPath. However, it has been tougher because the programming that I learned in school is very different from the programming done today. I am sure the younger people will pick it up much faster. There is so much out there, and there is so much to learn because it is not one software package. It provides the ability to use all software packages and interconnect with them. So, the opportunities are amazing but also intimidating."
"While working on Excel and PDF, there should be a feature to define which content to extract and which table to extract from a document. It should extract only that. There should be a possibility to ignore everything else. I should be able to show one sample for one page, the second sample for the second page, or one sample for all pages. I would love to see such functionality in UiPath."
"I would like to see more AI features with data classification and computer reason. I think it would be great to have more features in full monitoring robots."
"In the world of NextGen technology, it would be ideal if they could speed up their beta products."
EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is ranked 28th in Robotic Process Automation (RPA) with 3 reviews while UiPath is ranked 1st in Robotic Process Automation (RPA) with 760 reviews. EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is rated 6.6, while UiPath is rated 8.8. The top reviewer of EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA writes "The support team was great, but we had to rely on them too much because it lacks a drag-and-drop interface and everything is hard coded". On the other hand, the top reviewer of UiPath writes "Facilitates end-to-end automation, has good AI and document understanding capabilities, and saves us costs previously spent on manual tasks". EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is most compared with Automation Anywhere (AA), Blue Prism, Microsoft Power Automate, Pega Robotic Process Automation and AutomationEdge, whereas UiPath is most compared with Microsoft Power Automate, Automation Anywhere (AA), Blue Prism, Robocorp and Pega Robotic Process Automation.
