UiPath Platform Reviews

• Automatic filling of web forms for request of services
• Searching customers' and providers' information on government websites (to validate registration numbers and expiration date).

It offered us a new perspective for business processes improvement, looking not only for cost reduction but better accuracy and customer experience.

• The Studio tool: an environment for development with a lot of components.
• Easy to test or simulate the process.
• Flexibility to use attended or unattended robots on desktops and cloud.

The solution architecture should be reviewed to offer more opportunities to small companies or small entry level projects. For example, they could accept SQL Server Express Edition or other open software database engine; and allow all components installed in only one server, at least up to 10 robots.

They offer a lot of resources before you have to call them: great written material, videos, training courses and a forum.

No, only evaluate.

Initial setup is not complex. You can start learning to use the Community version of Uipath  Studio, before deploy production environment.

In-house.

The ROI was not calculated.

Uipath is competitive when you have hundreds of robots, but it is expensive to small companies or entry level projects up to 10 robots.

AUTOMATE

The Community Forum and the Academy are great resources to get users experiences and support and should be consulted before starting new projects. 

Previously, we used to read lots of data and manually feed each document data into a system, but now we are using UiPath automation to read files, extract data, and then update the same into the given business application.

Helped to automate legacy applications and the solutions built are very robust. Also, the support that we have got from the UiPath team is excellent. We have got a very large community base for multiple queries and hence, overall a good product to work and design solutions.

• Activities are easy to use, you can even include third-party activities. 
• It helps to build any complex solution in a short time.

While doing Citrix automation, the image identification and accuracy should be easier. Easy work-related activities for Citrix is the one thing we are requesting for in upcoming releases.

Process automation in a global business center of a global mining and manufacturing company. We are mainly focusing on financial processes (e.g., reporting, fixed assets creation, invoice management) and HR processes (personal data sync between SAP and local payroll systems, automatic administration of external consultants).

We've already implemented 30+ small processes to automate, built a knowledge center of RPA and saved a couple of FTEs through the automation journey.

Orchestrator - the central management component and the screen capturing part of the development tool (Studio).

User access management - to be able to set up user rights in a more sophisticated way. In the current version if you grant e.g Execute access to a user it can execute all robotized process in the given environment, you cannot specify the right on a process level.

The primary function of the organization is quick data entry to specific systems better than humans, with accuracy and without any interaction.

This product can work heavily with data entry. Most of the software, when working with them, don't allow you to input data directly to DB. This is the simple solution that fulfills the requirement by using a bot to enter data into any third-party application easily. It's not only about entering data but also the accuracy, speed, reducing human interaction, and more.

Although, think about the officer working at midnight, so what about a bot working 24/7 without having any salary, without using your resources -- that would save money for your company.

This product provides most of the good software APIs such as ABBYY that can easily integrate our solutions with processes.

• Image recognition could be improved with more AI that identifies what objects are in the pictures, as example if we think about future about uipath, captcha reading , like if we given few images and find what are the picture that cantain with car
• also If we scan any images , possibility of identifying this image contained pen, book,tea,cupboard, cake ....like that
• Also, speeding bots may be good for some companies because some processes don't need to be viewed while executing, so if the bot can run faster than we see, it might be helpful.means that generally bot can run with their default speed and the application speed that its interact with, if the application support any speed eg(typing speeds) uipath should perform or having facilities to speed up the bot that its processing 

• Downloading of the daily movements on the websites of the banks and the entry of them all in the ERP.
• Distribution of transfers to other departments for their control and management.

The work of downloading movements of more than 100 accounts of the banks took several hours of work daily, but now it has been reduced to a few minutes of an unattended robot that sends all emails with the movements of the accounts of all the banks classified and ordered to users before their workday begins. The increase in productivity is maximum.

The developments with UiPath have been valid for the websites of all the banks which we work with. This with other RPA solutions has not been possible.

• Financial.
• It should be improved in such a way that the objects used in the designs should not be updated with the installation of new versions of UiPath as it happens right now.

Creating proof of concepts for Oracle product integrations and form filling for clients. We are also in the works of using it to automate expenses in-house.

UiPath has helped us link legacy Oracle systems that have little connectivity through other integration methods. We are on our way to being able to link UiPath with machine learning and artificial intelligence to automate expenses.

The ease of use and how easy it is to pick up due to the low code functionality. The Orchestrator is also invaluable.

Making variables easier to find, perhaps integrating a "recommended variable" section for functions, and to filter variables better.

• Automation of a range of processes (35 at the time of writing).
• Utilizing UiPath in a banking environment. 

Processes include areas such as payments, financial crimes, HR, and customer service (middle office).

• Currently, 10 FTE of work has been moved to robots (nearly 10% of operations).
• The staff has been retrained from operations into RPA development roles.
• Improved consistency and cost-effectiveness of those processes.

Combination of the free academy and the graphical IDE with a large number of built-in activities. This creates a low bar to entry, allowing technically minded business users to get involved with the initiative.

UiPath is experiencing some growing pains in their support at the moment (some of this is due to the rapid progress of the tool, I suspect). From our timezone (GMT+10), support expertise has always been a bit of an inconvenience, with the best staff only coming online after our work hours.

To automate the manual tasks at my workplace. Using this tool, we can quickly develop automations.  

At my workplace, I developed three automations which saved a lot of efforts and avoided manual interventions. We saved thousands of manual efforts.

• Screen scraping
• Data scraping
• Web recording, etc. 

The features of this tool are really awesome to use and very helpful to automate tasks.

There are no cons I found in this tool. A free license would help everyone to learn about this tool.
