CV
CTO at Atheneum
Simplifies integrations and is suitable for large companies
Sometimes, when our company develops using the latest technology, the knowledge is not yet cycled down to the tool's support team. The tool's support team is not mature enough to handle the tool. The promotion of a feature before it is mature may cause issues, and I feel that sometimes the deployment of such features is a little too early. The tool will release a feature, but it will have bugs in it. We face challenges because the tool's team doesn't have the knowledge to deal with the issues in the product's new features. When SAP develops something, if the tool's team doesn't know how to support it, it becomes a problem because now we have to access developers to get the information that is not readily available.

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 most valuable feature of the solution is that it offers an integrated development environment."
"The support is good, and the price is the same as Blue Prism."
"UiPath can batch process a lot of the hands-on manual work that nobody wants to do."
"For some complex automations, we can integrate with VBScript and Python scripts if necessary, however, initial automation does not require in-depth programming knowledge."
"The solution is quick and easy to implement; it's fairly easy, and it means clients don't have to get IT involved."
"My experience with deploying UiPath Platform is that it's very easy."
"I found the training at the UiPath Academy really good and easy to understand."
"Instead of three different people taking a whole day, we did it in three minutes."
"The best feature in the latest release of UiPath Platform for me is the Orchestrator, which I find very user-friendly for navigation, as I haven't seen such a good Orchestrator among any of the other competitors."
 

Cons

"The tool's support team is not mature enough to handle the tool."
"We have had some issues with StudioX."
"As for the drawbacks, UiPath should really add an option to change the toolbar options which would make it more user-friendly."
"We ran into issues during the upgrade. It was not warned before."
"UiPath can improve its AI and optical character recognition or OCR."
"Automation Hub needs to improve a lot."
"The OCR engine still needs improvement; it may be in the next release."
"Improvement should definitely be made in the area of screen capture, where Adobe Flash is still being used."
"The studio design is a little different. If you go from one tool to the next, you might be a little shocked at how things are organized."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is not cheaply priced."
"This solution has a very competitive and flexible pricing scheme that depends on the process complexity."
"UiPath is priced for the market and is even better considering the value it brings."
"Its price could be better. They should reduce its price. The insights module, process mining, document understanding, and other modules should come as one package because when you buy a module, it usually is not enough for a project, and then you have to buy another module. They might already have bundled these. I have not checked it recently."
"UiPath is costly compared to Power Automate Desktop, but if you want to do most things, UiPath helps a lot. The more you use it, the cheaper it gets."
"The cost depends on how many licenses are needed and how bots are used. Right now there is no solution that is less expensive."
"Attended is fairly cheap. Anytime you bring in Orchestrator, that starts to become a little more expensive. I'm a little concerned about all the new SKUs that are coming in and the products associated with them. I am really interested in finding out if someone wanted a full product suite, what kind of money are they looking at annually."
"UiPath has a Community version that is totally free (including Orchestrator) and has all the features."
"The product is not the cheapest."
