Has helped automate repetitive tasks and streamline content summarization across teams
For analytics, I prefer using the Power BI platform instead of Microsoft Copilot Studio. When it comes to analytics, though it gives the right insight, the visuals are not of great quality, or sometimes they don't appear at all. For instance, when creating charts of sales on a quarter-on-quarter basis or month-on-month basis in a bar graph or pie chart, Microsoft Copilot Studio doesn't perform adequately. Anything requiring image creation or graphs and plots is not optimal. The graphing features are missing in Microsoft Copilot Studio. Although image creation is available, it lags at times, similar to any other LLM module. When creating content based on graphs or CIO presentations, these features are not developed to a great extent.

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

"Microsoft Copilot Studio has helped enhance my development process quite a lot."
"The use case involves intelligent code assistance, UI, UX, and integration parts."
"The integration part in Microsoft Copilot Studio is something I really appreciate because it's very easy to integrate with anything, and the main reason we chose this Studio is its simplicity in developing and building workflows and interconnecting things, especially when it comes to public cloud; life is quite easy."
"We have achieved approximately 60 to 70% productivity gain using Microsoft Copilot Studio."
"Starting with Microsoft Copilot Studio for product projects, especially for POC and MVP, accelerates the creation and demonstration to clients, helping them interact with and understand the solution before discussing further improvements."
"It is very easy to use, and you still have a lot of possibilities to modify what you are trying to do and achieve."
"The features I find most valuable within UiPath Platform are the logging and controls, and the ability to bring value to the firm extremely quickly due to the low-code, no-code functionality."
"The most valuable features of UiPath are data entry, data reading, and some simple logical calculations."
"UiPath's entire package is valuable. It is a user-friendly solution."
"Once we deploy the automation into the production, our manpower has been reduced so there are only one or two people needed for the backup, and the rest will be taken care of by the automation itself, so there has been a drastic reduction in our workforce."
"The solution's AI technology and machine learning models are the biggest contributor to saving time."
"UiPath has a very good user interface, and the automation is a great feature. New users can easily understand UiPath."
"The ability to automate is the most valuable feature; UiPath has many prebuilt tools like drag and drop, which is excellent."
 

Cons

"I feel that the pricing and licensing methods of Microsoft Copilot Studio are not very conducive."
"The price for Microsoft Copilot Studio can definitely be improved, as small organizations find it very difficult to manage the subscription."
"While Microsoft Copilot Studio can create documents and add information, it does not do so accurately, and this is an area that needs improvement."
"For analytics, I prefer using the Power BI platform instead of Microsoft Copilot Studio."
"On the Orchestrator side, I would like to see more controls and conditions for RPA managers. If they advanced in those areas, it would help."
"UiPath needs to be easier to use."
"We have used it with Linux and we faced some issues regarding this automation."
"The platform that shows the reports and errors is not too transparent."
"Although AI functionality has improved in its ability to automate more complex or involved processes in the past five years, there is still ample room for further improvement."
"We are not able to extract the data from the same type of PDF which is bulky in number, and scrapping is not so good."
"There should be more growth, but the platform is there."
"More maturity on the Agentic AI part and the Maestro would be beneficial; however, it will come with time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Our licensing costs are around $40,000 a year."
"UiPath is priced high."
"Pricing for UiPath isn't very competitive. After discounts, it costs around fifteen thousand euros, while Power Automate gives you the same features for only a thousand euros."
"At the company that I was with previously, we were paying $3,600 USD per bot. With the new company that I am at, because we're new and we don't have the size, we are paying $8,000 USD per bot."
"The pricing is good compared to other software. Based on the features that UiPath is providing, and the community support, the price is reasonable."
"I am using the free community version. The enterprise version is obviously a little expensive."
"We are an enterprise. So, its price is bearable for us, but I am not sure about the small industry. It might be expensive for them."
"Our licensing fees for this solution are €68,000 (approximately $75,000 USD) yearly."
