Helps improve operational efficiency, is easy to use, and reduces our on-premise footprint
Pros and Cons
  • "Storing data partially using internal data tables for internal calculations, without relying on a full database, is most beneficial for our workflows."
  • "Computational text recognition has room for improvement as it is not 100 percent accurate."

What is our primary use case?

I have several use cases but primarily I use UiPath to input transaction data to the websites.

How has it helped my organization?

UiPath has helped us improve operational efficiency by automating tasks previously performed by humans. This frees up employees to focus on more meaningful and strategic work. In one project, we achieved 100 percent automation, while another reached approximately 70 percent.

Building automation using UiPath is easy even for inexperienced users.

We use UiPath to automate production processes in the healthcare industry.

To automate end-to-end processes, we employed multiple UiPath bots, as a single bot couldn't handle the entire process due to the disparate nature of the systems involved. These bots consisted of a web automation bot, a secure automation bot, and an existing legacy automation bot, which served as the backbone of the automation.

The UiPath User Community is accessible through the UiPath developer portal. It's a valuable resource full of information, where we can learn about the impact of new releases from other users and experts.

In the time I have been using Uipath, I have noticed that the text recognition tools have improved making it the best in the market.

UiPath has been beneficial in helping to minimize our on-premise footprint by automating 100 percent of some tasks.

As developers my team and I use the Developer Academy courses from UiPath to get certified. We also use the courses to help train new users which is helpful.

I am happy with the AI functionality. It has helped reduce the development time for us.

The AI functionality has helped us to automate more processes overall.

UiPath helps speed up our digital transformation and reduce the cost. Our digital transformation using UiPath did not require complex upgrades or application support.

UiPath reduces human error by 80 percent, enabling faster transaction rates compared to manual processing.

What is most valuable?

UiPath is the most user-friendly automation tool in the RPA category.

Storing data partially using internal data tables for internal calculations, without relying on a full database, is most beneficial for our workflows.

What needs improvement?

Computational text recognition has room for improvement as it is not 100 percent accurate.

Gives many options to do things, and saves a lot of time and money
Pros and Cons
  • "A lot of the prebuilt models that are on an AI Center are valuable. Being able to go in there and train your data, give sample data, label the fields, and different OCR methods are also valuable."
  • "UiPath is very stable. I have not had any issues in terms of that. The only issue we used to have was if a website were to change or an application were to change, but we have found ways to work around that and deal with those types of situations."

What is our primary use case?

At Aeyon, we use UiPath to develop custom solutions for our clients that drive innovation and digital transformation within the public sector. We work closely with the US Marine Corps, Army, Navy, Coast Guard, NASA and several other Federal agencies. We have built 50+ automations for a wide range of use cases, but the ones we see most often include financial reconciliation, data extraction using AI/ML Models, data entry, data manipulation/consolidation, downloading/moving files in bulk, data validation, and interacting with various web applications.

The business objective that our organization is trying to achieve with its AI-powered automation initiative is to greatly reduce the time spent on repetitive/clerical tasks and allow the employees more time to focus on the important tasks that grow their business such as collaboration and innovation. Aeyon successfully helps our client achieve this objective by using UiPath to develop solutions that increase efficiency, reduce operating costs, and drive ROI.

How has it helped my organization?

Our AI-powered automation initiative has fundamentally changed what our organization is able to achieve. It has made a huge impact on the way we process documents for not only ourselves but our clients as well. It saved a lot of time and money.

We use AI Center for data extraction on structured and unstructured document types. The pre-built models are very versatile and efficient, and the ability to train custom models makes it a great solution for almost any use case. I feel that AI Center and UiPath Document Understanding were pretty easy to learn. It only took me about a week to learn. There are tons of helpful tutorials and other resources online. I like how it has the prebuilt models as well as the option to be able to go and train your own data, so I would give it a ten out of ten.

It has definitely increased the accuracy of our operations. It has reduced the risk of clerical errors. Document processing has allowed us to be able to compare data for that extra layer of making sure that everything is extracted correctly.

It has freed up a lot of time because instead of having to manually go through and find ways to track data or manually look at it, we are able to use different AI technologies to fit pretty much any use case. For most of our clients, it saves them an average of about 100 hours annually on the smaller processes, and then we have some larger ones where they are even saving about 15,000 hours annually, which is a lot of extra free time for them to focus on collaboration and those kinds of things.

What is most valuable?

A lot of the prebuilt models that are on an AI Center are valuable. Being able to go in there and train your data, give sample data, label the fields, and different OCR methods are also valuable.

What needs improvement?

The improvement is not necessarily in the product itself. The main difficulty we have usually has to do with pricing and identifying the best solution for each specific use case on a long-term scale. If there was an easier way to track the AI unit usage and determine which pricing plan would best fit the need for each use case, then that would be extremely valuable.

UiPath is very stable. I have not had any issues in terms of that. The only issue we used to have was if a website were to change or an application were to change, but we have found ways to work around that and deal with those types of situations.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using UiPath for about four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Overall, it is very stable. There is low technical debt and monitoring. After a process has been deployed, for the most part, it is stable after testing and everything.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is very scalable. I have had no issues in that department, and I know that they continue to make it more and more scalable, which is awesome to see with each new release.

How are customer service and support?

Their support is great. There are so many resources available online. There is UiPath Academy, and there is the ability to chat with them 24/7. I have never had an issue getting in touch with their representative quickly when I needed help with something. I would rate them a ten out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I started off using UiPath, and then I got a job a few years back where I used a software called Kofax. I was able to see a lot of similarities, but I still felt that it was very limited in its ability to integrate with third-party software. I remember several use cases where I thought that if this was UiPath, I would know how to do it. I noticed a lot of limitations with Kofax. It was a bit of a learning curve going from UiPath to Kofax, and then I realized that there were a lot of things that Kofax was not able to integrate with in terms of third-party software. Based on my experience with Kofax, I definitely feel that UiPath is superior.

I have used Microsoft Power Automate for a few processes. We use that for some of our smaller projects. We just started looking into that as an option as well for certain use cases. It is important to us that UiPath has orchestration whereas Microsoft Power Automate does not because orchestration gives you a way to run processes in the background rather than on your local machine. You can also do event triggering and time schedules. UiPath definitely gives a lot more options and freedom to be able to do things without having to manually run the process.

How was the initial setup?

I was involved in its initial setup. I pretty much came in when it was coming from the ground up. I have helped install it. I have helped customers set their licensing plans and install everything on their local machines so that they can run the automation and get set up with orchestration and all that.

Its initial setup was pretty straightforward. You need to have UiPath Studio installed. They now offer automation. They have UiPath Cloud. You just sign into that, and you have access to Orchestrator and all of those services just right off the web. It is pretty easy to set up.

Our implementation strategy includes getting on a Teams call with the client so that we are able to look at their screen and walk them step by step through various aspects, such as:

  • Where to save specific folders?
  • How to get signed in to the appropriate account?
  • How to access Orchestrator and the logs in there to see if there are any issues with the process?
  • How to monitor it?

We look at their screen and walk them through various things. We keep that communication line open if they ever have issues or questions in the future.

What about the implementation team?

We did not take any external help. Our company did it through our own team members.

What was our ROI?

We try to calculate ROI for all of our clients for projects that we deploy. We usually calculate it in terms of total cost savings annually and also in terms of how many hours of labor are being saved annually. It is cool to see those numbers continuing to grow.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The licensing is very affordable, especially when you compare its benefits. However, I know that AI units are purchased separately and can be costly depending on the specific use case. We are still trying to figure out how to track our usage and which tier or plan to go with, but overall, it is affordable in comparison to other options.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I evaluated Automation Anywhere as well as Blue Prism. At my last company, we were trying to figure out between those two and UiPath. After comparing everything on a wider scale, we realized that UiPath was going to be the better solution for us.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate UiPath a ten out of ten.

The prompt-based workflow-building feature, where you can use natural language to build workflows, is impressive
Pros and Cons
  • "I appreciate the orchestration capabilities and document processing integrations."
  • "Sometimes, it takes a while to open and launch workflows, and this speed issue could be addressed."

What is our primary use case?

We have been using UiPath for almost the last five years in the industry, where a lot of research development, and clinical trials are happening. Many of the processes are centered around clinical trials, especially around translation. 

Being a global company, we conduct a lot of clinical research involving various languages and regulations. Earlier, we were outsourcing translation services, which presented security and timing challenges. 

With UiPath, we built bots that collect clinical trial documents from various sources and translate them into the desired language, ensuring security and faster delivery. We no longer need to outsource, and translations are now super fast, sometimes within hours.

How has it helped my organization?

UiPath has significantly helped our organization by providing solutions that save time and enhance efficiency. It has automated many tasks, allowing our staff to focus on other projects. 

We've built attended bots for research analysts who can now complete tasks while attending meetings. These bots save 5,000 to 8,000 hours yearly, contributing to our overall efficiency and allowing us to save a lot of money. UiPath has also enabled us to achieve outcomes like speed, scalability, security, productivity, and quality.

What is most valuable?

The user experience that UiPath offers, particularly the ease of use with the Studio's drag-and-drop feature, speeds up development significantly. 

The connectors available in integration services are helpful for quickly connecting with applications like Salesforce and ServiceNow

I appreciate the orchestration capabilities and document processing integrations. 

Additionally, the prompt-based workflow-building feature, where you can use natural language to build workflows, is quite impressive.

What needs improvement?

While UiPath is exceeding my expectations, there is room for improvement, particularly in the studio's performance. Sometimes, it takes a while to open and launch workflows, and this speed issue could be addressed. Additionally, the support could be improved, especially regarding the availability and expertise of support engineers.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using UiPath for almost the last five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

UiPath is very stable. I have never experienced any bugs in the product.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

UiPath has always met our expectations in terms of scalability, as we can scale it across the global enterprise level.

How are customer service and support?

Support is one area that could always use improvement. There have been challenges in getting timely support, especially during emergencies, and sometimes we don't get experienced engineers to solve problems.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

In my career in digital transformation over the last fifteen years, I have used tools like Blue Prism and Automation Anywhere. However, UiPath has proven to be superior because of its ease of use and continuous improvement.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of UiPath was straightforward and very quick. It took only a couple of hours to set up the environment.

What about the implementation team?

I handled the implementation in-house with the support of UiPath and have been involved in every phase of the development life cycle, from infrastructure setup to discovery and deployment.

What was our ROI?

We are saving almost five million dollars every year. Our bots save about 5,000 to 8,000 hours yearly, equating to roughly $5 million to $7 million dollars in savings annually.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing could be reduced as Microsoft Power Automate is becoming a strong competitor. There is a significant difference in cost between UiPath and Power Automate, with Power Automate being more affordable for some automations.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

In the past, I have worked with Blue Prism and Automation Anywhere. I find UiPath to be superior due to its user-friendliness and innovative features.

What other advice do I have?

Always explore using AI first, as it is often a cost-effective and simple solution. UiPath's integration of AI workflows in a user-friendly way brings a lot of potential for automation.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Is user-friendly, easy to learn, and manage
Pros and Cons
  • "UiPath takes the complexity out of automation by using a low-code approach."
  • "UiPath's extensive built-in features, like communication mining, can be overwhelming to learn due to the sheer volume."

What is our primary use case?

UiPath is a software tool used in Robotic Process Automation (RPA) that allows you to build automated workflows to handle repetitive manual tasks in your daily work. It can automate tasks across various environments including Windows, Citrix, and using image recognition. Additionally, UiPath is incorporating artificial intelligence and machine learning, with generative AI specifically enabling you to develop automation in a wider range of fields like healthcare, telecommunication, and manufacturing.

UiPath offers deployment flexibility: we can install it on our servers on-premises or choose their cloud service, UiPath Automation Cloud. While they provide their option, UiPath is also compatible with other cloud platforms for deployment.

How has it helped my organization?

Building automation is easier with UiPath than with Automation Anywhere or Blue Prism. UiPath's centralized platform offers a more intuitive user experience, and its extensive online community provides readily available answers to your questions.

It allows for the creation of end-to-end automation workflows, even for tasks with imperfect results. For instance, if an AI extracts data from a PDF with a low confidence level, UiPath can trigger the creation of a ticket in an action center. This ticket would then be assigned to a human for review, who can confirm the data's accuracy or return the document to the AI model for improvement.

Over the past nine years as a UiPath user, I've witnessed a wealth of new features emerge. The UiPath user community has been an invaluable resource throughout this journey, providing both learning opportunities and solutions to our automation challenges.

UiPath has been a game-changer for us, reducing costs, improving scalability, minimizing human error, and saving significant time. Their user-friendly platform allows us to automate processes in as little as 15 days, and with the free UiPath Academy courses and community edition, we have everything we need to learn and practice at no cost.

UiPath Academy offers beginner-friendly courses with step-by-step instructions and video tutorials, making it a great resource for those new to the world of UiPath and automation.

UiPath speeds up and reduces the cost of digital transformation andreduces human errors by automating repetitive tasks where errors can be caused due to fatigue or illness.

UiPath helps free up our staff time to work on other tasks. What would take a human, for example, ten minutes to complete, takes the robot seconds. Ithelps save our organization money.

It is easy to learn.

What is most valuable?

UiPath takes the complexity out of automation by using a low-code approach. Instead of writing intricate macro scripts, we simply drag and drop pre-built elements to create our automation, making it accessible even for those without extensive coding experience.

What needs improvement?

UiPath's extensive built-in features, like communication mining, can be overwhelming to learn due to the sheer volume. This learning curve applies across platforms; switching to another company would require mastering new skills like business analysis and product management. Additionally, the modern analysis process demands deep dives into code and solution levels, making it a complex task to achieve.

There's a need for greater emphasis on applying AI and machine learning to enhance technologies like Optical Character Recognition, fingerprint scanners, and facial recognition systems.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using UiPath for almost nine years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

If one of our machines goes down, UiPath will resolve the issue within 24 hours.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is good.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

While we've experimented with Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism, and Microsoft Power Automate, they lacked UiPath's ability to centralize all our automation initiatives. Choosing the right RPA tool requires careful consideration of cost, functionalities, and the specific features each platform offers.

How was the initial setup?

The cloud deployment is straightforward. The logs are all maintained in the orchestrator. 

What was our ROI?

The return on investment from automation grows with the number of processes automated. This translates to greater cost and time savings, freeing up resources to tackle new projects that can generate additional revenue.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

UiPath is expensive. The license types depend on the deployment method and the number of bots required.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate UiPath eight out of ten. UiPath is user-friendly, easy to learn, and manage.

UiPath introduced communication mining in the last two years. We do use it but the use cases are primarily for the health sector and insurance sector but they have been steadily declining.

UiPath's cloud deployment offers a hassle-free experience – they manage the infrastructure and maintenance, so we don't need to worry about any hardware or upkeep on our side.

Six people in our organization use UiPath.

While running UiPath on-premises with a high volume of bots might involve some minor maintenance tasks for us, the cloud-based option takes care of everything – UiPath handles all the maintenance on their end.

UiPath offers a multifaceted platform, requiring users to learn distinct aspects based on their roles. Developers will delve into coding and automation creation, IT business analysts will focus on process design and optimization, product managers will manage the automation lifecycle, and salespeople will highlight the product's capabilities to potential clients.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

It's easier for beginners to learn, and the learning curve is shorter compared to other tools
Pros and Cons
  • "If you know Python and any other programming language, writing custom scripts is simple. Other solutions like Robocop and Power Automate have less flexibility in the scripting languages you can use."
  • "Sometimes, we get an error when we are developing something in the UiPath Studio for Salesforce. It gives me an error when I create one line of code, but I don't get the error when I make the same line of code again. We also get some bugs when UiPath adds new features. If we're developing multiple activities on one core, it can slow the response times a bit, and it will take more time when we try to download the dependencies or other packages."

What is our primary use case?

We have multiple use cases, including banking and finance. We are primarily taking data from PDFs and manipulating it in Excel, but we also build some UI-related automations. 

How has it helped my organization?

UiPath has saved my team some time by streamlining our processes. Previously, it took nearly a month to complete the accounting processes, but we've reduced it to one week. Before we implemented UiPath, they were working day and night to complete the task, so it reduced the time by almost 90 percent. We're further refining the process to reduce the time to five or six days.

The solution has reduced human error, which also saves us some time because we don't need to go back and correct mistakes. It's almost 100 percent error-free. It saves us money from server costs when we automate processes because there are typically so many people working on the same task. It reduces payroll costs. 

The UiPath Academy offers multiple certificates, which is excellent because we're asked for certifications during our interviews and audits. We've completed most of the UiPath Academy course. There's a foundational certification, and UiPath offers additional courses when they launch a new feature. We can get a deeper understanding of that particular function. The best thing is that it's free, and anyone can access the academy courses. 

What is most valuable?

UiPath's interface is excellent and accessible to new developers. It's easier for beginners to learn, and the learning curve is shorter compared to other tools. If you know Python and any other programming language, writing custom scripts is simple. Other solutions like Robocop and Power Automate have less flexibility in the scripting languages you can use.

We can implement end-to-end automation in most cases because we can use a different language if we encounter any limitations. For example, in one of my projects, we had an issue extracting the data from a scanned document. After reading that scanned copy, it couldn't pull the correct number. We could clean the image using Python scripting, and recreate it so that the output was correct. If we reach a hurdle we can't get over, we can switch to a different scripting language. 

UiPath's community is another thing that sets it apart from other RPA tools. Whenever we get stuck on something, we can go to the community to see if others are facing the same issue. There are many queries in that forum. That's how my team often solves an issue. The forum will have the solution 90 percent of the time. It's a fantastic resource. 

What needs improvement?

UiPath could improve machine learning for its Document Understanding module. We have to train that model to pull the data from different digitized or non-digitized documents. The classification could be improved, but I'm not sure how they could make it better. 

Sometimes, we get an error when we are developing something in the UiPath Studio for Salesforce. It gives me an error when I create one line of code, but I don't get the error when I make the same line of code again. We also get some bugs when UiPath adds new features. If we're developing multiple activities on one core, it can slow the response times a bit, and it will take more time when we try to download the dependencies or other packages. 

If we're doing UI-related automation, updates to the website might remove a specific UI element, and it affects the code. That's a drawback to using UiPath for a website.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used UiPath for more than four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

There are some performance issues during development. When we transfer a process from one machine to another using GitHub, it will work fine on my machine, but it will take time for the other developers to redownload the particular dependencies. It is not going to update immediately. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate UiPath nine out of 10 for scalability. 

How are customer service and support?

I rate UiPath support seven out of 10. Their frontline support agents don't know that much and often cannot recognize the issue. After contacting UiPath two or three times, they finally assigned us a technical person who could resolve the issue within twenty minutes. However, it took two or three days altogether. Our bot wasn't functioning for that entire time. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have used other RPA tools, including Robocorp, Power Automate, and Automation Edge. UiPath is great for data manipulation. When we want to take values from tables like columns and rows, it's effortless because it's using the .NET language. I use Power Automate and Robocorp because some clients need to develop their processes with these tools. 

UiPath is better than the alternatives, but some of the other tools perform better. For example, if I have the same code in Robocorp and UiPath and run the processes at the same time, Robocorp will complete faster if we're only considering UI-related automation. In most use cases, it's the same, but Robocorp is a little bit faster when automating UI-related processes because it's directly selecting that particular UI element. 

If I want to click to the next page and process the data, it will be faster in Robocorp. In UiPath, it's easier to develop the code and configure the bot, but Robocorp is faster. 

How was the initial setup?

Deploying UiPath is easy. Only one person is needed to install it. It takes around two or three hours to install and configure the solution because the file is larger We have to download UiPath Studio and other components

UiPath requires some maintenance. If the process involves a user interface, we need to adjust it when the website is updated and a UI element is changed. When that happens, we need to update the code that references that particular UI element.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

UiPath is expensive compared to other solutions like AutomationEdge, which is cheap. Last year, it wasn't too high, but I believe they updated their licensing model, making it very costly.

What other advice do I have?

I rate UiPath eight out of 10. UiPath is an excellent tool, and you can get support quickly from UiPath. One thing I would note is that you can negotiate with UiPath for lower initial costs, but they will likely increase the price after you enroll.

Can consume APIs directly from any application, reduce human error, and improve operational efficiency
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature of UiPath is the ability to consume APIs directly from any application."
  • "UiPath is limited to one application at a time and cannot process two applications simultaneously."

What is our primary use case?

We use UiPath in various internal departments to automate our HR, financial, and IT operations, including access management and ISO compliance to control traffic.

We have UiPath deployed both on-premises and in the cloud.

How has it helped my organization?

Building automation with UiPath is easy. The solution is user-friendly, and we do not require technical knowledge or skills to use it. With a little training, we can start building automation with UiPath. Customer support is helpful if we get stuck at any step, and the dashboard is user-friendly and centralizes control in one place.

We use UiPath for multiple end-to-end processes.

The UiPath User Community is a good place to learn and get answers to questions we have related to UiPath.

The UiPath User Community edition is flexible and allows us to practice and learn for free before taking what we have learned to our enterprise edition of UiPath.

UiPath has improved our operational process efficiency, allowing us to schedule processes to run 24/7 and freeing our employees from repetitive tasks so they can focus on other work.

UiPath Academy courses are useful for our employees. We also have access to the enterprise learning portal, where materials are available.

UiPath has helped reduce human error. When all the prerequisites are met and the process is fully automated there is a zero percent chance for human error. For the processes that are not fully automated, UiPath was able to reduce human error by 60 to 80 percent.

Before UiPath we had one employee tied to one business process and after implementing UiPath we have one employee tied to multiple domains. Our staff now has time to work on other tasks.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature of UiPath is the ability to consume APIs directly from any application.

What needs improvement?

UiPath is expensive, and its cost could be reduced to make it more accessible to small and medium-sized businesses that could benefit from it. The orchestrator and licensing cost should be flexible instead of hard-coded licensing.

UiPath is limited to one application at a time and cannot process two applications simultaneously. This functionality could be improved to support dual browsing, making it more efficient.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using UiPath for almost four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We have not experienced any crashes of UiPath. We have experienced some slowdowns three times this year, but this could be due to our internal network rather than UiPath.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is good. We can adjust our workflows according to the conditions with no issues.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is extremely helpful. We contact support whenever we need to upgrade our volumes, and by following their guidelines and prerequisites, we can easily complete the upgrade ourselves. Once the support team responds to our call they are quick to resolve our issue.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Before UiPath, we performed manual integrations, but the types of processes we could automate were limited. We faced challenges automating any process where humans needed to make decisions or where minor tweaking was required between the target and source applications. UiPath has removed these restrictions.

How was the initial setup?

UiPath is easy to install, and its representatives are flexible in supporting our installation. Upgrading our libraries and maintaining UiPath security protocols is also easy, which makes the overall installation process straightforward.

Two people are enough for the deployment.

What about the implementation team?

We implemented UiPath in-house.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

UiPath is more expensive than other solutions on the market, such as Microsoft Power Automate.

The Flex license is around $11,000. It should cost at least half that price compared to other solutions. We must purchase an orchestrator for each platform, which is mandatory and adds to the cost. UiPath should consider this and offer a more economical license.

What other advice do I have?

I give UiPath eight out of ten. The cost brings down the overall rating.

Maintenance is required when running UiPath on-premises for the server, OS, and DB. On a bi-weekly and quarterly basis. We also have to implement tools for the firewall.

I recommend UiPath for large-scale and multinational organizations because they can afford the licensing costs. Organizations should explore UiPath before embarking on a transformation journey, as transformation requires significantly more cost than automating existing legacy applications. UiPath is flexible and can integrate with all applications.

Enables efficient problem-solving across diverse business needs
Pros and Cons
  • "The best feature of UiPath Platform is that it is platform agnostic; it's an environment where you do not need to be dependent on any platform."
  • "The OCR technology needs improvement, particularly for reading invoices, especially scanned invoices."

What is our primary use case?

In eight years, I have done many different things with the UiPath Platform. I work as a software developer with the UiPath Platform in the insurance industry.

How has it helped my organization?

The UiPath Platform has helped meet diverse business needs. It helps in every way possible. Whatever use case I receive, I have always been able to perform with the UiPath Platform.

What is most valuable?

The best feature of UiPath Platform is that it is platform agnostic; it's an environment where you do not need to be dependent on any platform. The analytics dashboard enables us to showcase what has been done and what has not been done with the UiPath Platform.

What needs improvement?

There are a few areas in the UiPath Platform that could be improved. The OCR technology needs improvement, particularly for reading invoices, especially scanned invoices.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have eight years of experience with the UiPath Platform.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The UiPath Platform is stable, which contributes to their continued success.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The UiPath Platform is definitely scalable, which contributes to their continued success.

How are customer service and support?

The customer service and technical support for UiPath Platform are good. They are very quick to respond, and they have a strong support community.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Negative

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup for UiPath Platform was pretty easy, though it depends on the organization.

The setup process depends on your network configuration and how you need to set up the Orchestrator, whether in the cloud or not. For a smaller organization, it could be quick, while for a larger scale organization, it might take longer. Security issues must also be considered. Implementation can take anywhere from a day for a single user to months for setting up a COE.

We have a team of 20 plus people involved with the deployment of UiPath Platform. The team is servicing an enterprise-level organization.

What was our ROI?

The UiPath Platform definitely helps improve efficiency. It helps save money, reduce time, and reduce errors, though this varies from process to process. These benefits cannot always be quantified as they differ across various processes from small to large. Sometimes the gains are non-materialistic, making them difficult to quantify.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Licensing for UiPath Platform is overly costly, particularly for an unattended bot. They should reduce the pricing to compete with Microsoft Power Automate.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Microsoft provides many different features, which is where UiPath Platform needs to focus its competition. The UiPath Platform has more years of experience and is more robust, working seamlessly with various applications. Power Automate currently has many issues to address, though they perform better in Microsoft environments.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate UiPath Platform nine out of ten overall.

Document Understanding has improved healthcare workflow efficiency and reduced human errors
Pros and Cons
  • "Document Understanding has been particularly helpful, and so has UiPath's ability to interface with other applications. AI is the next phase. Document Understanding can only process about half the documents that come in. We need the AI component to start helping so that the half we can't process has a methodology on what needs to be done with it."
  • "While not a negative remark toward UiPath itself, our initial partner was limited in helping us achieve our goals. We are now directly working with UiPath support, which has been exceptional."

What is our primary use case?

We are a diagnostic laboratory that receives tissue samples from all over the country daily. To manage these, we implement UiPath for Document Understanding to process requisitions from clinical providers. This information is then loaded into our laboratory information system, enabling us to carry out the diagnostic process. We have a dozen bots operating across various functions, assisting in tasks such as screening resumes in HR and data entry on patient information.

How has it helped my organization?

Automation has increased our productivity. In my three years at the company, the number of employees working on data entry has grown from 15 to more than 50. We needed an alternative because we couldn't have 150 employees in one room doing data entry. UiPath has improved our efficiency by 60 percent and reduced errors by 87 percent in the assessment process. 

In healthcare, our top priority is to eliminate as many mistakes as possible. A mistake in our business can kill someone. Our second objective is to build better security measures to protect patient privacy and the sensitive information we handle. We also hope to improve efficiency and help our employees work better. It has helped take people away from mundane tasks and allowed them to focus on what truly needs their expertise.

We've achieved some of these outcomes so far, but we've only been automating for a year. I came to this event last year knowing nothing about UiPath, but I met some people and hooked up with a partner to get started. I met some people. We got hooked up with a partner who could help us get started. Then, I started hiring developers. We're still early on in this relationship, but we've already seen tremendous gains in efficiency and error reductions. 

What is most valuable?

Document Understanding has been particularly helpful, and so has UiPath's ability to interface with other applications. AI is the next phase. Document Understanding can only process about half the documents that come in. We need the AI component to start helping so that the half we can't process has a methodology on what needs to be done with it. 

AI automation is a high priority. A year ago, I was the chief operating officer, and now I'm the chief innovation officer. Our CEO saw that we needed to have a dedicated technology group looking for solutions, and he asked me to move into this role. I have seven full-time developers on my team who are specifically looking for things to automate. When I saw the demonstration this morning, my mind was blown. They're doing so many things that we could do that will take us to the next level. We can have AI interact with our pathologists and assist them in diagnostic research. We can apply UiPath across our billing processes and everywhere.

What needs improvement?

While not a negative remark toward UiPath itself, our initial partner was limited in helping us achieve our goals. We are now directly working with UiPath support, which has been exceptional.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using UiPath for about a year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I think it's we I think we we I think I don't have any barriers in my head of what we can do do or not do with it.

How are customer service and support?

I rate UiPath support 10 out of 10. It's outstanding. Working with them has been a game-changer. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We did not use any different solution before adopting UiPath.

What about the implementation team?

We initially worked with a partner who was limited in aiding our objectives, leading us to work directly with UiPath support.

What was our ROI?

We saw a 60 percent improvement in efficiency and significantly reduced errors.

What other advice do I have?

I rate UiPath 10 out of 10.
