Featured Reviews

Anabel Marco - PeerSpot reviewer
Automates processes efficiently with cost-effective scaling and robust customer support
Web scraping is quite good since it offers a lot of possibilities. Another important feature for me is its compatibility with MBI, the Power that is ISEQUADO Centers. I appreciate the ability to scale and increase the number of bots or studios without additional expense. Automate's non-reliance on additional orchestrators makes it quite cost-effective.

Suitable for a small-scale business but not evolved enough for a large enterprise
The best thing with that Jacada is that they are a repository builder, which we use for our assessment to gauge and match screens. Jacada has evolved, but I'm not using the latest version. Technically we use our internal product more, which is iAutomate. We also use UiPath and Automation Anywhere…
Amjed Al-Tayyan - PeerSpot reviewer
Automation streamlines onboarding and reduces the load on customer service agents
As the head of the division, I do not use UiPath myself. However, I am the decision-maker, so I review the features. The combination of both full-attended and half-attended automation, where you can automate tasks and still interact when required, is very useful. It provides efficiency by freeing staff from unnecessary tasks, resulting in a balanced workload and more productive use of an employee's time. The tool has a noticeable ROI, and the investment is worth every penny as it reduces tedious tasks and improves scalability. It is very easy to use. During the COVID lockdown, my son who was 11 at the time attended a UiPath and Automation Anywhere training with me. He has already automated his school tasks requiring saving data and uploading some documents to the portal. If a kid can do this, it shows how easy it is.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Automate increases efficiency and eliminates errors during documentation and invoicing processes."
"I like the interface; it makes managing automation easy. We can set different schedules and templates for each task."
"I would rate the technical support as a nine out of ten because it is quite fast and courteous."
"It gives us a central place to schedule tasks and run them distributed."
"The licensing of the product is very good. You only need to license it once and then you have it forever."
"Compared to other vendors, it's the scheduling tool because a lot of vendors want to charge you extra for their enterprise-level license to have a scheduling tool built in to give you the ability to set up regular schedules to run and do certain data checks."
"The most valuable feature is the drag-and-drop interface, which is very Windows-like."
"Overall, the whole product is really nice and provides significant benefits."
"The initial setup was fairly straightforward."
"It is a very easy and stable product."
"I rate the scalability of UiPath, ten out of ten."
"I like the user interface. I'm using Cloud Orchestrator and UiPath X. It's a platform for customizing and building automated processes."
"The most valuable features of UiPath are Excel automation and web portal automation."
"You can design processes even if you do not know coding."
"It's easy to go with UiPath. It's user-friendly, and any IT person will find it easy to use."
"UiPath's OCR enables data processing of handwriting, which in turn allows us to automate elements of the billing process from incoming customer checks, which is a fantastic feature for us."
"Our teams are heavily using the integration service, especially following our cloud migration. We just finished our cloud migration, and having insights and program visibility is crucial for longevity. The robot fleet remains integral."
 

Cons

"Sometimes when we communicate with the ERP system and there is an issue, we are not always aware of the specifics of Automate and the source of the problem."
"I find that most important features are strong, however, there is a lack of good development for artificial intelligence, such as machine learning."
"They do not encrypt passwords, so this is an issue with HIPAA compliance."
"The product also has a limited use case in some respects."
"I currently have three bugs open with them that I don't know if they are addressed in the new release."
"We really need a free development environment for customers. Building and testing automation on production isn't ideal."
"Fortra's Automate is not as reliable as I would like it to be."
"The technical support could be better. We suffer from language barriers, as we are in Argentina."
"They need to create a workflow system."
"There are a lot of AI and ML-based enhancements that could be included in the core product and activities."
"I would like it to better handle updates from other systems, whether it's SAP or a website. That's the thing that we struggle with. Anytime a system changes, we have to go in and modify the code."
"Support maintenance is an improvement area. I understand that UiPath Academy is there to help users understand it better, but it would be better if the support and community were faster in responding to what is requested by clients. Sometimes, it takes quite some time, so a faster response when clients need something would be better."
"A self-coding robot can be a very useful tool in the future."
"Citrix and email automation could be improved. We can use the features, but the accuracy isn't 100 percent."
"I would say a better layout or interface between the Studio and Orchestrator tools would be nice."
"A lot of the UiPath processes are capturing information from government websites. It's difficult to capture the correct format, so we need to use a third-party application to capture the information correctly. It would be better to have that capacity with UiPath, so we don't need another product."
"We are having some on-going stability issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other products, the pricing model for this solution is much more convenient, flexible, and adaptable to the Portuguese reality."
"From a distributor's perspective, one of the biggest selling points of Automate is its price point."
"Once you buy the software, you just pay for the support for backend help."
"It has gone up in price. The price of Fortra's Automate has increased since we first started using it. It does a lot but also costs a lot. It was a lot more affordable before Fortra owned the software."
"It comes with a package that costs approximately $20,000 USD per year."
"I believe the price falls within a reasonable range, which significantly influenced our decision regarding the product. This aspect is crucial for any technological solution, especially in our country where enterprises might be hesitant to invest heavily in something untested or uncertain about its practicality and potential returns."
"I'm only involved in running the product and maintaining the systems, so I can't speak to the cost."
"The cost is a bit high for a small business like ours, but we manage with Fortra's Automate."
Information not available
"On a scale where one represents the most expensive and 10 is cheapest, I would rate UiPath at about two."
"Traditionally, Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism are the biggest things competing against UiPath. Those are usually what most of the clients lean towards, if they see a cheaper licensing option. Clients choose UiPath because it's easier to deploy and learn within their teams."
"When it comes to back office licenses, why can't we have parallel processors running on one back office license? I understand the commercial aspect, but when you have servers and a node locked license, you should be able to use the license from different instances."
"There are operational benefits in terms of time savings and user satisfaction of not having to do menial, repetitive tasks."
"The main reason we went ahead with UiPath was the pricing... the pricing of the paid version was not that high. It's low- to mid-level pricing."
"Blue Prism definitely has a simpler licensing structure, but I feel like that's almost a shot in the foot at certain points. It also gets kind of deceptive. There's a crossover point at which, if you're scaling up to a high number of bots, UiPath path definitely does come out cheaper. But the initial implementation has a higher cost."
"Its pricing seems reasonable. I know we've been able to get a good amount of value in a few years. Our breakeven was only in year two. So, we're approaching breakeven in our licensing program. It's not a cheap product by any means, but the value that can be returned on an ROI basis is quite high."
"One of the downsides to UiPath is the cost of the enterprise version. It is a little bit on the higher side."
