We performed a comparison between Python RPA and UiPath based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about UiPath, Microsoft, Automation Anywhere and others in Robotic Process Automation (RPA)."Keyword-driven automation has been beneficial in streamlining operations."
"Instead of writing multiple lines of code, we can do it in a single statement."
"UiPath's interface element identification is arguably more reliable than Automation Anywhere's."
"The unattended, back-office robots are the most beneficial feature."
"We did not have to do a lot of customization because the standard UiPath activities fit our needs."
"The ease of configuring new processes via drag-and-drop is invaluable."
"I find the solution easy to use... I've been able to take people with absolutely zero technical background and quickly scale them up in a matter of weeks so they're building bots. I haven't been able to accomplish that same feat with the other platforms."
"The bundling of the offerings into UiPath is quite important, so we don't have to go to several different vendors. We can try it out on our own and see if this is something we want to do. Then, we might bring in another partner or vendor to do some specialized training, debug the networks, etc. We're never going to get that capability ourselves. We don't have a large IT department nor do we have data scientists. For us, it's important that one or more of these skills are getting baked into the system."
"Some processes are very complex and very long, and sometimes it is very hard for a human to implement them manually. AI has enabled us to automatically solve those processes that would not have been doable by a human."
"The way they stay on top of Orchestrator is really helpful because that has been the platform that controls everything. The dedication to that is pretty helpful. Every time there's a new release, it seems there are more and more features. It's also not hard to learn."
"Support could be improved."
"When we call an API and there is an error, it doesn't tell you what the error is."
"The pricing has room for improvement."
"UiPath should add support for more programming languages, such as Python, in addition to VBScript, to help developers with their coding."
"Providing a great product at the wrong price without consideration to the economic conditions of the markets within which it is being offered, creates barriers and another product is sure to fill the void."
"The operations need to be improved."
"The pricing could be more friendly."
"We have not seen it do OCR, and that would be helpful. Right now, the tool will not read a PDF file, and we can't use PDF files. We want it to able to take an image, then take that image and put the particular field out in the right spot in a table. We have not seen it where you can scan a document in, then it reads fields and places those in a table."
"Citrix and email automation could be improved. We can use the features, but the accuracy isn't 100 percent."
"UiPath should take several steps forward to be prepared for this competition and create differentiation with capabilities that Microsoft does not have. The innovation within UiPath is going to be very, very crucial. However, the most important thing is clear the differentiation in the messaging."
Python RPA is ranked 23rd in Robotic Process Automation (RPA) with 2 reviews while UiPath is ranked 1st in Robotic Process Automation (RPA) with 760 reviews.
