Good data security, allowing local installations to prevent data from going to the internet
There were a lot of issues we faced. One notable improvement would be better API integration within the tool itself, as we still rely on external tools like Postman. Additionally, expanding language support beyond C#, Java, and JavaScript to include Python would be beneficial. An AI feature that automatically detects automation object properties and suggests actions would be a great addition. So, in future releases, AI solutions for automated property identification would be helpful.

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

"The solution is fast and includes built-in libraries that record and playback."
"Code Conversion is one of the great features because sometimes, the automation tool doesn't have the capability of maneuvering around two specific evaluations."
"We have automated 15+ internal applications for our client, which reduced much manual effort on regression testing."
"I'm from a UFT background, so Ranorex Studio has a similar feel in terms of how it handles objects. It just felt familiar even though I'd never seen it before. However, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of UFT, but it's a pretty good start, and it's cost-effective."
"It is a good tool to perform user interface testing over a .NET product."
"The most valuable feature of Ranorex Studio is its user-friendly interface."
"Ranorex support is speedy, reliable and very friendly."
"Not only is Ranorex's solution one of the most powerful and easy to use, it has one of the lowest cost entry points resulting in a quicker ROI."
"The most valuable feature is Studio, which allows developers to specifically focus on development."
"The solution includes preset activities but allows integration of code and expressions that make it more powerful and dynamic."
"The best features UiPath Platform offers include the very easy-to-use UiPath Studio because I can use blocks to make the connection from point A to point B."
"It's likely freed up human time by 10% or more."
"Its intuitiveness is great. This solution is very user-friendly. There is almost no need to have programming knowledge."
"The cloud deployment option is particularly attractive to some customers for its flexibility and scalability, along with customary thin client advantages."
"We like the ability to capture some of the features on a screen for the application. We also really like the UI, and the design is pretty good."
"UiPath Platform scales with the growing needs of our organization."
 

Cons

"For a very long time, we were running into crashes with either Ranorex or Ranorex's utility (UIALauncher) which would stop our testing dead in its tracks."
"I'd like to know their testing strategies and to know what they can automate and what they can't. It can become pretty frustrating if you're trying to automate something that changes on a monthly or weekly basis."
"There was one instance where I had an issue and contacted them for a solution; they were unable to provide it, and I ended up finding a workaround on my own."
"One of the areas the service could be improved would be to have the training in Italian."
"The compatibility with different browsers needs to be improved."
"I encountered a problem during div element recognition. This point could be enhanced."
"The current version of Ranorex Studio IDE is based on an old version of SharpDevelop IDE (3.2), but this is going to change soon (planned update to SharpDevelop 4.x)."
"Running the tool in a distributed environment was a challenge since Ranorex requires an active user session."
"Sometimes, in my experience, Picture In Picture is a bit buggy. It takes over your control, then the controls get mixed. That is one of few issues that I have found."
"They need to enhance their CI/CD capabilities."
"The pricing structure is very complicated."
"The OCR is the only area where I expect a little flexibility and improvement."
"I tested the Process Mining at my previous company and I don't think it's suitable for RPA processes. It operates at a way higher level and, using it, you may find an area in which you can optimize a process, but it doesn't just give you a defined process for automation. It doesn't necessarily help you to identify the processes."
"Our challenge with UiPath is getting the infrastructure assets up to speed, particularly on the Orchestrator side. However, I just now came from a demo for UiPath Web, and it seems to be to enable serverless robots, which would definitely be a lower barrier to entry."
"I would like to see support for native C# capability."
"Incorporating more in the way of machine learning and AI would extend the capabilities of the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing fees depend on the number of users."
"Our company has one license per user with each costing two lakh rupees."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"There are several types of licenses and you need to choose depending on your needs and level of usage."
"This solution is a more expensive solution compared to some of the other competitors."
"We paid €3,000 (approximately $3,300 USD) for this solution. When you add the runtime licenses it will be €3,500 (approximately $3,900 USD)."
"I rate UiPath a five out of ten for affordability. UiPath costs a bit more than other tools like Blue Prism and Automation Anywhere."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"My advice is to try the system out with the Community Edition first."
"If you are a smaller organization, use the free community version of the software to get a feel for its features and abilities."
"Price-wise, it is not the cheapest one on the market, but it provides the fastest automation and the best training that I have ever seen for RPA, through the UiPath Academy."
"UiPath's cost is acceptable."
"This solution is worth the investment."
"Compared to other solutions, the pricing is moderate."
