"The solution integrates more easily and with more tools than Automation Anywhere."
"This product is the best in terms of price and capabilities."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Power Automate are the ease of use and the templates that are provided. I no longer need to make the document from scratch. I can search for what template I want and then it only requires me to modify it a bit for my needs. Additionally, it's helped improve my productivity and efficiency, and at the same time, it's quicker."
"The solution is comparatively quick to deploy for making smaller automation processes."
"The solution is relatively easy to use and cost-effective."
"It makes work easier."
"It is quick, so I'm quite happy with it. It is also easy to use."
"With the desktop version, we can automate many things. The ability to do a lot of things is one of the most valuable features."
"Its intuitiveness is great. This solution is very user-friendly. There is almost no need to have programming knowledge."
"Unattended robots completely take tasks out of the user's hands reducing error and unnecessary effort on mundane tasks."
"UiPath has improved our organization; the primary difference introduced by the application of the UiPath tool is the speed of processing and accuracy in the data processing."
"The most valuable feature is image processing. It's something I use daily when I need to do some work on a VM remotely. Image processing enables me to locate the connectors and click to perform my job or task."
"Automation can be done in many ways, but UiPath is a more simple approach. There, any layman can learn how to program in UiPath, which is its main benefit."
"The most valuable feature of unattended robots is that they are always available."
"I found the Library option as most valuable because first, we can avoid the development of the same task again by developing and publishing a task as an activity into the Orchestrator, and second, in case of any changes required, the developer can make the required changes and republish in the Orchestrator with the new version."
"I appreciate the simplicity of the interface as I am learning to be a developer."
"AI-enabled voice recognition features could be included in the product."
"I've had some issues with the stability."
"Looping can be a bit tricky."
"I would like to have chatbot assistance available, where you can open it and receive help on the spot."
"This solution should be more resilient, with robots more capable of recovering after an error."
"When compared to other workflow automation tools out there, it's just not as mature."
"There are some bugs or intermittent behavior in the Excel activities that require using workarounds."
"The solution could use some more advanced AI tools. It's one of the solution's only weaknesses."
"There is some scope for improvement, especially in the area of variables. Some variables are used in specific workflows and some variables are global. It would help if there was a repository that would showcase which variable is global and which is local to a workflow."
"One area for improvement is connected to the fact that it's completely based on Visual Basic .NET and C# languages. I would like to see some more basic activities that are particular to the VB.NET code, as well as activities based on LINQ queries because that is one of the fastest and most integrated languages. I would like to see pre-written activities so that we could simply drag and drop them into place and use them frequently."
"One thing that would be helpful is if the support team could quickly help us when we raise a ticket. It takes them at least one or two hours to get back to us. With Automation Anywhere, if there is a Severity 1 issue, their support responds within 15 minutes."
"The cognitive capabilities of UiPath are pretty time-consuming. If that can be improved, it would help a lot."
"I would like to see support for native C# capability."
"The variable management is really messy. When I look at the code, I don't know where the variable is and in which scope."
"UiPath can improve by enabling us to target specific use cases based on the departments within an industry, rather than just focusing on the industry itself."
"While the UiPath Academy is simple and you get a decent understanding of what's there, you still have to dedicate on an awful lot of time doing the automations to become proficient at them."
