UiPath Platform Reviews

We mostly use UiPath for downloading reports into Excel files, reconcile reports and generate a result which is sent to the users. It is a faster means for automation. 

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. 

I think the only issue we have faced is with the upgrade compatibility. 

We are considering other options that are more stable. 

We only have five really small programs right now. So, scalability is not an issue for us. 

We have not had a need for UiPath tech support. 

Other departments in our organization were using Blue Prism. I do not know why they chose that versus UiPath. It is possible that they were looking for a higher level of security and stability. 

The pricing is very good. The license does not have to be in a bundle, like in other competitor products. You only have to purchase at least 10 from the beginning, for one year.

I was giving software training in a company. And in this company, there was a time-wasting chore. At the end of the training, we took note of the students who did not come in the polls, and we were recording the polls on the institution's website. Unit supervisors wanted to be notified of the students who were absent three times in a row. This process is constantly checked and repeated because of the automation that I've done with this chore.

UiPath increased the value added by the company. The reason for this was that the repetitive processes were carried out automatically with UiPath robots. Especially in the field of software, the same processes can be repeated severally. These situations prevented employees from developing as they lost time and prevented them from adding more value. Apart from this, a newly developed platform has prevented some experts from using these programs today.

The most important feature of UiPath is that it is independent of programming languages and can be written with a basic algorithm. Moreover, the new library can be added, and new activities can be added to those who know new programming. This allows the program to be developed and supported.

UiPath comes with an infrastructure suitable for development. It may be a disadvantage that the simple coding sections in the studio environment are with Visual Basic. Nowadays one of the most widely used languages can be supported with C#. Furthermore, it is possible for robots to interpret the information obtained from repetitive operations by machine learning. This is a situation I believe should be directed to the field of artificial intelligence.

Organizational internal processes automation — especially in areas of operation and admin (back-office).

I believe that UiPath opened topics of RPA and AI/ML in our company (which consequently led to a shift and much stronger orientation of our company — globally — towards technologies and technological areas like software development, the blockchain, IoT, etc.). I believe that this role ("enabler" role) was crucial and also helped tremendously in raising overall 'digital'/'ICT' and 'programming/integration concepts' awareness company-wide. You might agree that the impact of this scale might be much higher and more important than any time and costs saved by actual automation.

UiPath Studio as a whole (the very 'core' component of the entire platform) allows you to concatenate all the different pieces/actions/sources you need — and doesn't matter which one that is (API, web, database, legacy system, OS application, email, or anything else like Excel, data transformation or even OCR).

Also, I'd like to highlight Academy (and e-learns) — it's very good and provides you with everything necessary you need to know.

2018.3 and 2018.4 releases made a huge leap in terms of functionality — we're not missing anything currently.

Good.

Very good (up to 10k robots — definitely OK).

Very good.

No.

The entire Orchestrator setup is a bit tricky (a lot of different components — Kibana, Elasticsearch, URL Rewrite, PowerShell scripts), but we had guidance and description on the web which is also very good.

In-house.

One year.

Strategic partnership might bring you a significant discount (it also depends on the size of your company and future potential of the vendor — your business cases).

Yes (Kofax, Blue Prism).

• Developed a project for invoice issuance in SAP: Using UiPath, we could finish the project very fast.
• Save costs from my company and for our clients.

• Using UiPath, we could engage with a lot of new clients, because we showed them how powerful UiPath is.
• We finished projects more faster using UiPath.
  

• The user interface of UiPath is the best part of the tool. It is easy to learn how to use.
• Another feature is the orchestrator which helps to organize all the robots in one place.

• The UiPath could improve in the AI part so that we could build more powerful robots.
• It will be helpful if we could have a diff for better version control.
  

A well established, mature process that the current employer spends a significant amount of time on which can be done by a robot agent.

Using UiPath, my organization is able to provide to clients, a unique tool to develop RPA in many different systems.

• Scheduling
• Asset management using orchestrator
• Very comprehensive framework (ReFrameWork) that helps the developer to build easy to read, scalable automations.

• An easier way to use object-oriented languages
• Better version control with different features
• Git integration if possible. 

We run many batch jobs manually to accomplish our business processes, which is very cumbersome and prone to human errors. One wrong job run may take many hours to fix the data, which sometimes causes chaos. Due to automation, it is easy to resolve our manual batch job run.

When batch jobs run, at that time, systems are locked and users are out. Once it is completed, only then do we allow users to log in to the system. Many times, operators run wrong jobs which creates chaos and exceeds the SLAs. After the automation, I believe these issues can be resolved.

• Drag and drop feature to build the application
• Keyword-based search and accordingly it just inherits its properties.

In the next release, I believe it should include cross-platform features. Like if our product is developed on Linux, then it should be capable of running shell scripts.

Still implementing.

We are using the UiPath platform for back-office end-to-end process automation, combined with OCR and cognitive services.

In our projects, we provide our customers with a x2 to x6 efficiency improvement, error decrease, and SLA improvement.

• Core activities
• Excel activities
• All the cognitive activities
• Python and customer activities
• UiPath Go! (good platform for the community for knowledge sharing)
• UiPath Academy (best courses apart from other vendors).

• Provide a robot as a service model (subscription for the platform services) for partners to provide more chances to SMB to compete enterprises.
• More cognitive services from Google, AWS, Microsoft, integrated into the platform provide wider capabilities for developers and service providers.

We use UiPath to test automation for asset management, wherein we found it can help us to reduce the time and increase data accuracy.

We have many manual processes internally, so we decided to start evaluating UiPath for automation. We know that automation will help us to be more efficient and accurate.

Browser automation and schedule jobs which are the main activities that require manual work or visual validations by the users.

When using UiPath Studio sometimes I felt lost when trying to locate specific activities, so probably will be a good idea to improve the icons beside the activities, so I can remember easily.
