Automation has reduced manual reporting tasks and improved delivery speed
Software AG ARIS Robotic Process Automation has an opportunity to be improved in many ways, especially with AI. I see some improvements there and it can definitely be enhanced. Maybe even leveraging the cloud product rather than having Software AG ARIS Robotic Process Automation running on your local network would help. Because now you need to connect through a VPN. I understand because organizations don't want to share their data. However, using it as a subscription service can help to connect from anywhere. But then you just need to make sure that the data also complies with the POPI Act and all of those other acts for protecting the data.

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 automation features of Software AG ARIS Robotic Process Automation have assisted us to deliver quickly, especially if you have captured everything on ARIS, then you just need to run a report, and some of the elements are automated."
"It integrates naturally with environments in most scenarios, which is good from an implementation standpoint."
"For small to medium clients, those clients have an investment of about $100,000, we see around six to eight months in, they get something around 40% to 60% ROI being returned to them, then within a year to 18 months, they get a 100% to 120% ROI realized."
"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."
"We reduced a 10 people team to just one person, who just stands by most of the time and monitors the robotization process in action."
"Now we have vendor PDFs that are automated by UiPath which reduce the cost and save time on a three-FTE basis."
"This solution has gives us shortened customer service time."
"Look into the data web scraping. I don't think another tool has that feature and we use it a lot. Data web scraping was probably the bonus of why we went with UiPath."
"We recently had a project that would take a human who's actually navigating through the screens and clicking all the buttons roughly a month's worth of work, if that was their primary focus all day long, and we were able to get that completed within two days using UiPath."
 

Cons

"Software AG ARIS Robotic Process Automation has an opportunity to be improved in many ways, especially with AI."
"UiPath Platform pricing is high. Whenever an organization tries to opt for UiPath Platform, the real question comes regarding its price."
"One of the things that many of our clients ask us about is security. Some of them are really struggling with how to do multi-factor authentication."
"There is scope for improvement in the UiPath Platform, particularly with the Web Studio feature that has been launched recently. They could enhance the object repository feature, which allows maintaining selectors externally, as there are challenges associated with changes in selectors that require updating the library and the version in the code."
"The initial setup was in between simple and complex."
"It cannot withstand in a situation like overloaded processes execution not up to the mark."
"Integration is an area for improvement. I still encounter issues with it, like getting errors when I try to use a connection."
"The Orchestrator is in drastic need of improvement. Three or four years ago, the Orchestrator UI was very simple and comfortable to use but now, they have added so many features that it is difficult for new users to quickly understand it."
"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

Information not available
"The pricing and licensing costs seem okay to me, although it is a little bit on the high side."
"UiPath is slightly more expensive than Automation Anywhere and Microsoft Power Automate."
"UiPath is expensive."
"I'm not directly involved in the financing, but the IT team considers this product costly."
"License costs are high, but the setup is really quick and does not demand a lot of resources involved."
"Licensing can be cumbersome and makes overall pricing needs somewhat hard to forecast, but not too difficult once the tool is scaled."
"We have 200 licenses for bots in production and pay between $200,000 and $300,000 per year currently."
"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."
