Automation streamlines onboarding and reduces the load on customer service agents
Pros and Cons
  • "The combination of both full-attended and half-attended automation, where you can automate tasks and still interact when required, is very useful."
  • "UiPath helps us be more efficient by freeing staff from doing unnecessary tasks."
  • "UiPath is an RPA solution, but I have never explored the AI part of it. I am unsure if it has an AI element or not. Merging RPA with AI and ChatGPT would be beneficial."

What is our primary use case?

We are using UiPath for some automations. One of the roles that I have handled over the last two years was related to customer service. In customer service, you tend to have a lot of inquiries and redundant work that can be done through RPA automation. We managed to use it to reduce a lot of recurring tasks. Our experience is very nice when using automation to reduce the workload.

There are a lot of cases related to user inquiries or figuring out how to do things, as well as some tasks related to setting passwords, creating shared folders, and creating virtual machines. These types of workflows are tasks that require only line manager approval, and things can be done without daily human intervention. We have managed to automate staff onboarding and related tasks. 

I have recently changed to a governance role. I am now the governance director at the company. A part of my governance role is taking care of internal and CSR committees. We are considering using automation for good causes.

We are now both a customer and a partner of UiPath. We are using UiPath as a partner because we are selling it to customers and we are also using it internally for the benefit of our employees.

How has it helped my organization?

UiPath has helped us a lot to reduce unnecessary load on the agents. In customer service, you tend to do a lot of repetitive tasks. After some time, the employee or agent ends up not being happy because they have been doing the same thing every day. When you take away such reoccurring and redundant tasks, you keep the employee or the agent free to do what matters more. It increases customer satisfaction and employee satisfaction. 

UiPath frees up employee's time for things that matter and need to be done by a human. It has saved 30% to 40% of the time of the customer service staff. We can easily automate tasks that our agent is conducting. The benefits are seen more outside working hours when you have fewer people working.

UiPath helps us be more efficient by freeing staff from doing unnecessary tasks. There is better load balancing and utilization of the agent's or employee's time, so there is going to be more productivity.

UiPath helps speed up digital transformation. Bots can do multiple tasks at the same time. Humans need more interactions for every task.

UiPath helps reduce human error. Bots are more precise than humans. A bot gives the output based on the instructions without making mistakes.

What is most valuable?

As the head of the division, I do not use UiPath myself. However, I am the decision-maker, so I review the features. The combination of both full-attended and half-attended automation, where you can automate tasks and still interact when required, is very useful. 

It provides efficiency by freeing staff from unnecessary tasks, resulting in a balanced workload and more productive use of an employee's time. The tool has a noticeable ROI, and the investment is worth every penny as it reduces tedious tasks and improves scalability.

It is very easy to use. During the COVID lockdown, my son who was 11 at the time attended a UiPath and Automation Anywhere training with me. He has already automated his school tasks requiring saving data and uploading some documents to the portal. If a kid can do this, it shows how easy it is.

What needs improvement?

UiPath is an RPA solution, but I have never explored the AI part of it. I am unsure if it has an AI element or not. Merging RPA with AI and ChatGPT would be beneficial. Adding more AI could help in small tasks that require intelligence or machine learning, leading to the next stage of automation.

Buyer's Guide
UiPath Platform
October 2025
Learn what your peers think about UiPath Platform. Get advice and tips from experienced pros sharing their opinions. Updated: October 2025.
872,837 professionals have used our research since 2012.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using UiPath for about five to six months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is stable. I would rate it an eight out of ten for stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is very scalable. I would rate it a nine out of ten for scalability.

It is being used at multiple locations by many customers.

How are customer service and support?

I do not have experience dealing with customer service, but the feedback from my team was positive. My personal experience is limited, but I never had any complaints from my team.

I had a chance to explore the UiPath Community in 2021. The interaction was positive at that time. After that, I have not had the need to use the community. I also used UiPath Academy at that time for a short course. I am an engineer, but I have been in management roles for a long time. I found the learning material to be tough at the time, but it was not a big course. It was a public course. Their big courses would be of better quality.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

What was our ROI?

It provides an ROI. We managed to get a return on investment differently with it. It is costly, but when we consider how much time we have saved and how happy our employees are after removing a lot of annoying tasks or non-intelligent tasks, the investment is worth every penny.

Using such tools also gives scalability when the demand is high. You can hire more resources, but it is a costly process. You do not have the budget to keep adding more employees. With automation, you tend to distribute tasks to the same robot. A robot does not require time to eat or rest. It also does not fall sick or ill. It drives productivity differently. It is more efficient. In the end, it is cost-effective.

Especially when it comes to customer service, there is less load on humans. A bot can be there 24/7.

It has saved about 20% to 30% of costs.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated Automation Anywhere, ServiceNow, and others. Our evaluation process took us a while because there are a lot of automation applications. The top ones definitely include Automation Anywhere. We did a lot of evaluation to see which one quantifies or fits all our purposes and needs.

What other advice do I have?

My recommendation is to focus on optimization before automation. Decide what to automate and then proceed. Sometimes automation can create more issues. Ensure that the process is clear and structured. It works very well for repetitive processes or tasks done in large volumes.

In terms of maintenance, we are teaching the bot to normalize. If the UI interface changes, we need to redo the bot, but that does not happen often. The bot can learn a little bit, and the changes are not much. The maintenance is minimal.

I would rate UiPath an eight out of ten.

Reduces manual work in document handling and improves process efficiency
Pros and Cons
  • "The setup was very easy. We're in the cloud, so it's very simple."
  • "We have been able to streamline many processes now with UiPath Platform, and with document handling we have been able to basically reduce headcount in certain areas and just streamline how we're handling faxes, images, and orders."
  • "If I had one thing that I would ask for more development in, it would be audit trail. We're a high-trust certified company, so we need to make sure that we have all that information."
  • "If I had one thing that I would ask for more development in, it would be audit trail. We're a high-trust certified company, so we need to make sure that we have all that information."

What is our primary use case?

Our main use cases for UiPath Platform are around document handling, basically extracting data off of documents, usually in an image format or PDF format.

What is most valuable?

I appreciate that UiPath Platform is such a cohesive suite of tools. 

We get good benefit out of OCR and AI and all those and Orchestration, the attended and unattended. 

Many different features are really beneficial. We have been able to streamline many processes now with UiPath Platform. Again, with document handling, we have been able to basically reduce headcount in certain areas and just streamline how we're handling faxes, images, and orders.

We have used the vendor's UiPath Academy courses. The team has all taken various courses in the UiPath Academy. The biggest benefits that we have seen from UiPath Academy include it being really helpful for a few of my team members to get certified in UiPath Platform. They really enjoyed having a credential and working towards something. It has helped them with their careers and helped them grow as individuals and develop.

My thoughts on UiPath user community highlight that it's really helpful to be able to go out to the forums and find information or ask questions. It's really nice that your peers can help you instead of always leaning on a third party or UiPath themselves. It's kind of nice to talk to end users in specific situations.

The biggest challenge with UiPath Platform is automation as a whole. It's really trying to evangelize and get that automation mindset across the organization. It's not necessarily a platform problem. It's a program problem.

The biggest benefit of usage is just being able to add runners to processes that are data-heavy or processing-heavy, so we can limit the server bandwidth and resources.

What needs improvement?

Personally, the only problem we have with it is some of the auditing ability and some of the user access and role building. If I had one thing that I would ask for more development in, it would be audit trail. We're a high-trust certified company, so we need to make sure that we have all that information. The ability to enforce and enroll people in different roles within the platform needs improvement.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using UiPath Platform for four years now.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We have not experienced downtime, crashes, or significant performance issues with UiPath Platform. We have a few bugs here and there, a few things that we run into, but nothing that's slowing operations or causing us any headache.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

UiPath Platform scales very well with the growing needs of our organization. It's easy to add runners, easy to add servers on our end, and as we have more needs, it's easy to scale. We have expanded the usage of UiPath Platform, and the process has been pretty smooth. We've rolled out to different business units, added servers, and we've certainly added more licensing and more runners over the four years. It has been pretty easy and seamless.

How are customer service and support?

I would evaluate customer service and technical support for UiPath Platform as very good. 

We've always had really good ability to get answers quickly. We've run into a few issues that weren't easily addressed, and the team has worked to get after it. It's taken a little bit of time, however, knowing that it's kind of a nuance for our setup, they've been very responsive and very supportive, so I'm very appreciative.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

Prior to adopting UiPath Platform, I was not considering or using another solution. This was the first effort in automation at the company.

How was the initial setup?

The setup was very easy. We're in the cloud, so it's very simple. 

We use AWS as our cloud provider for UiPath Platform.

What was our ROI?

We have definitely seen a return on investment with UiPath Platform. We've seen, with all the document handling, a lot of return on those efforts.

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

The cost of UiPath Platform was fine too. There were a lot of licensing opportunities, and it's all been very favorable. Licensing has always been competitive; never was there an issue there.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before selecting UiPath Platform, we considered Automation Anywhere and we've certainly utilized and looked at the Power Platform from Microsoft, however, it has its limitations, so UiPath Platform is a go-to.

What other advice do I have?

We don't use formal Agentic AI with UiPath Platform. We do use AI with large language models to help organize and extract data, but we're not technically agentic. 

I would describe my experience with the vendor as very seamless and easy. UiPath has been very supportive. They've been with us the whole way, and every time we have a question or issues, they're there to help us out. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate UiPath Platform's features as a ten. It has many abilities and tools, connects to numerous systems, and is very universal. It fits our needs completely.

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?

Improves document processing accuracy and freed up employees for more intelligent work
Pros and Cons
  • "The features of UiPath Platform that I prefer most are definitely IXP or Document Understanding."
  • "Currently, our group is saving about 1.5 million a year through all of our automations that we've implemented through UiPath Platform."
  • "Sometimes they concentrate too much on the citizen developer and not enough on enterprise developers or enterprises, as we consistently deliver suggestions to their product team that could make improvements."
  • "The licensing is excessive with UiPath Platform. They have an Insights license, Robot license, and a development license. It seems you need a license to do anything different on the platform and that's frustrating."

What is our primary use case?

My main use cases for UiPath Platform involve lots of document extracting, and business processes, claims, and similar tasks.

What is most valuable?

The features of UiPath Platform that I prefer most are definitely IXP or Document Understanding. 

We have a Comms Mining use case that is pretty cool, and I appreciate how it's all-inclusive in one tool to orchestrate everything together.

The features of UiPath Platform benefit my organization by increasing accuracy with data and reducing our ROI. For example, we have one business process in Blue Prism that we migrated, and it runs on four bots, 12 hours a day, processing claims. This has taken the place of employees doing repetitive work and freed them up to do more intelligent tasks.

What needs improvement?

I feel UiPath Platform can be improved. Sometimes they concentrate too much on the citizen developer and not enough on enterprise developers or enterprises, as we consistently deliver suggestions to their product team that could make improvements.

In the next release of UiPath Platform, I would want to see something that I could feed a Process Design Document into, and it could determine if this is better suited for an RPA process or should fit in my scope.

One thing I would want to see fixed in UiPath Platform is the licensing, which seems excessive. Although they need to stay ahead, they move too fast, and sometimes things aren't as stable as they could be.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using UiPath Platform for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I haven't experienced any downtime, crashes, or performance issues with UiPath Platform, but the only recent issues we've had are running out of AI Units, which disables the automation.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have expanded usage, starting with a couple of development teams and now we're up to about 20 squads doing automations. The process has been pretty smooth; we just have to purchase more licenses.

How are customer service and support?

I would evaluate customer service and technical support as great. We have a tech lead we work with for UiPath Platform, and he's been awesome. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate customer service and technical support a seven. 

I feel sometimes instead of bringing issues back to the product team, they provide temporary solutions, and they should take our feedback more to the product team and implement it at an enterprise level.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

Prior to adopting UiPath Platform, I was using Blue Prism. The factors that led me to consider a change were that Blue Prism was feeling outdated, though we hadn't updated it for five years.

How was the initial setup?

In the beginning, it was a bit rough. There was lots to figure out and lots of security issues going on with just dealing with, like, opening things up and allowing security to allow us to do that. So that was pretty painful. After a year, it's been pretty smooth.

What was our ROI?

I have seen return on investment with UiPath Platform. 

Currently, our group is saving about 1.5 million a year through all of our automations that we've implemented through UiPath Platform.

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

I didn't have to deal with any pricing, setup cost, or licensing. The licensing is excessive with UiPath Platform. They have an Insights license, Robot license, and a development license. It seems you need a license to do anything different on the platform and that's frustrating.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

The decision was made by others at our company. We migrated off Blue Prism since UiPath Platform consistently ranked high in Gartner and Forrester's right quadrant. 

What stood out in my evaluation process when comparing the platforms is that UiPath Platform is more developer-driven than Blue Prism. I appreciate that, especially managing packages and not having the client and server have to be on the same version as in Blue Prism, and their push for GenAI now is impressive, which I think will help us and our customers.

What other advice do I have?

My advice to other organizations considering UiPath Platform is that it depends on the use case, but if they are looking to use it for end-to-end business processes, I would definitely encourage it, just because of the orchestration piece and being able to connect everything together in one platform. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate UiPath Platform overall a nine.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Hybrid Cloud

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

Has automated seat assignment to save time for sales support teams
Pros and Cons
  • "I assess the stability and reliability of UiPath Platform as very stable."
  • "We have saved around 40 million dollars with 400 bots."
  • "The features I was looking for related to UiPath Platform were related to PII masking, however, they have already introduced it. It's related to guardrails, so it's beneficial."
  • "While everything is good, there are a few times when the technical team did not have immediate answers, resulting in multiple exchanges."

What is our primary use case?

My main use cases for UiPath Platform are for a sales department.

How has it helped my organization?

This has helped tremendously for our sales support customers since they don't have to do it manually by going to the application and checking everything. They were able to let the agent identify the best-suited seat as per their preference and assign it to them, resulting in significant time and effort savings.

What is most valuable?

The features of UiPath Platform I appreciate the most are Agent Builder, Studio, and Apps. I have used everything inside. 

As we are moving towards the Agentic, we have used Agent Builder and Maestro to automate one of our processes which was related to seat assignment. The agent was able to identify which seats are available based on the user preference and seat map, and it was able to assign the best-suited seat to the user.

My teams and I have used the vendor's UiPath Academy courses. The biggest benefits I have seen from using UiPath Academy are that we took all the courses related to Agentic, Agent Builder, and Prompt Engineering, which were very helpful.

My thoughts about UiPath's user community in terms of the value gained by being part of it are that it's amazing. Whenever I have any issues and I don't get the answer, I go to the community and get my answers really quickly.

What needs improvement?

The features I was looking for related to UiPath Platform were related to PII masking, however, they have already introduced it. It's related to guardrails, so it's beneficial.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using UiPath Platform for six years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I assess the stability and reliability of UiPath Platform as very stable. I cannot remember ever having downtime, crashes, or performance issues. There might be a few, but they get resolved very quickly.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

UiPath Platform scales with the growing needs of the organization quite effectively for us. 

We have expanded usage to 400 bots and we are automating every day, so it will be increasing. The process was quite smooth when we expanded usage as we have the product team available with us. We have the UiPath team who supports us every time whenever we face any challenges.

How are customer service and support?

I evaluate my customer service and technical support for UiPath Platform as good. We get substantial help from them whenever we need. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate my customer service/technical support as a nine. While everything is good, there are a few times when the technical team did not have immediate answers, resulting in multiple exchanges. Ultimately, they resolved the issues.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

Prior to adopting UiPath Platform, I was not using another solution to address similar needs.

How was the initial setup?

I would describe my experience with deploying UiPath Platform as very easy.

What was our ROI?

I have seen a return on investment with UiPath Platform. We have saved around 40 million dollars with 400 bots.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

The other solutions I considered before selecting UiPath Platform were Power Automate and Automation Anywhere. 

In our evaluation process, we firstly checked how user-friendly it is for developers, how scalable it is, and what security or compliance rules they could provide. These were the major parameters we checked with other vendors, along with pricing.

What other advice do I have?

My advice to another organization considering using UiPath Platform is that they should implement it. It's really easy to use for developers, scalable, and stable. 

I rate UiPath Platform a ten out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

Automates over 300 processes and transforms operations through workflow education and agentic capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "The features of UiPath Platform that I prefer most are the Autopilot's key capability, which enables embedding in all products and makes everything from development to testing much faster."
  • "By leveraging Agentic Automation, we achieve outcomes such as reducing service requests by 50%, which saves about 3,000 service requests and frees up employees to work on more value-add activities."
  • "Being able to implement more training specifically on the agent stuff would be beneficial."
  • "UiPath Platform is really great already with the automation stuff, however, comprehensive training is lacking as the products constantly change, especially crucial for our partner focusing on RPA."

What is our primary use case?

Our main use cases for UiPath Platform involve a lot of RPA, as we have over 300 bots; for agents, we're mostly looking at IT operations and procurement, invoice processing.

How has it helped my organization?

Examples of how these features benefit our organization include being able to automate and educate the folks. Things such as UiPath Academy are definitely a game changer for aligning everyone on these topics.

What is most valuable?

The features of UiPath Platform that I prefer most are the Autopilot's key capability, which enables embedding in all products and makes everything from development to testing much faster.

By leveraging Agentic Automation, we achieve outcomes such as reducing service requests by 50%, which saves about 3,000 service requests and frees up employees to work on more value-add activities.

My overall experience using UiPath Platform's Agentic Automation capabilities is that it's very intuitive; everything just follows the fields, and I create prompts using natural language, which is super easy. My teams and I use the vendor's UiPath Academy courses all the time. The biggest benefits I have seen from UiPath Academy include that the fact that it's free is a game changer, and we always advise everyone to check it out, as it's very hands-on and comprehensive.

My thoughts on UiPath's user community in terms of the value gained by being part of it include just being able to shape the products; UiPath Platform is very receptive to feedback, and being the first implementation of Autopilot, we provided feedback catered to our needs. Just from one use case, we save tens of thousands of hours per year extracting data points with Agentic AI; we're trying to scale this globally to three or four other use cases, and we expect high value there.

What needs improvement?

As for how UiPath Platform can be improved, I haven't thought about it much.  

Being able to implement more training specifically on the agent stuff would be beneficial. UiPath Platform is really great already with the automation stuff, however, comprehensive training is lacking as the products constantly change, especially crucial for our partner focusing on RPA.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been partners since 2019, using UiPath Platform.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would assess the stability and reliability of UiPath Platform as excellent, as we've never had an issue with it. I have never experienced any downtime, crashes, or performance issues with UiPath Platform.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

UiPath Platform scales with the growing needs of our organization, as it is sufficient.

How are customer service and support?

I would evaluate customer service and technical support for UiPath Platform as excellent; they are a great partner there. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate customer service and technical support an eight, as there have been instances where we wanted direct help right away. 

They require us to log a ticket; ideally, I would prefer contacting our representative for immediate assistance, so I dislike the logging process.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

Prior to adopting UiPath Platform, I was using another solution, Power Automate, however, I found it much more limited, mainly good for Microsoft tools.

How was the initial setup?

I would describe my experience deploying UiPath Platform as pretty seamless; I think we have a good partner for that aspect.

What was our ROI?

I have seen a return on investment with UiPath Platform, absolutely. In terms of data points or examples, our program pays for itself roughly four or five times.

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

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for UiPath Platform is that overall, it's clear; however, some of the AI unit stuff can be confusing, so one feedback would be a calculator to forecast and understand consumption rates better.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Before selecting UiPath Platform, we considered other solutions; we have a technology stack where many use cases go through UiPath Platform, however, some go through Python development, and we're also partners with Microsoft, though the majority still go through UiPath Platform. 

In my evaluation process comparing these options, cost stood out as a big factor; UiPath Platform is actually the most expensive option, but it depends on the use case, and UiPath Platform might be a better fit compared to other options.

What other advice do I have?

Our use cases with UiPath Agentic Automation mostly involve plasma and also supply chain and IT operations—those are where the true Agentic Automation capabilities lie; everything else could be done with RPA. 

The advice I would give to other organizations considering UiPath Platform is to look at the capabilities as a whole and not just consider the cost; UiPath Platform is the most expensive option compared to competitors, so it's important to evaluate capability and return on investment. 

I would rate UiPath Platform overall as a solid eight out of ten.

Accelerates automation efforts and allowed rapid deployment of processes without additional hiring
Pros and Cons
  • "From a developer standpoint, the features of UiPath Platform that I appreciate the most include the ease of building."
  • "We have about 150 processes in production with UiPath Platform; the one department that has the majority of those processes has not had to hire anybody else for those two years— their people are happy, and we've saved them money and the need for more people."
  • "There are some things coming down the line regarding licensing for UiPath Platform where our current license structure is being sunsetted. There's just a lot of confusion over that."
  • "There are some things coming down the line regarding licensing for UiPath Platform where our current license structure is being sunsetted. There's just a lot of confusion over that."

What is our primary use case?

My main use cases for UiPath Platform involve working within departments within our organization, discovering pain points, trying to automate those, and free their time up. That's what we were focused on for a while. Now we're trying to scale up, and hence why I'm here, to see what all the Agentic stuff is about.

What is most valuable?

From a developer standpoint, the features of UiPath Platform that I appreciate the most include the ease of building. They've made it a pretty simple tool. The features of UiPath Platform benefit our organization since we can go to production quickly. When we talk to a department, we identify a good use case for it, and it's rolling within a week or two.

I and my teams have used the vendor's UiPath Academy courses. The biggest benefits that I have seen from UiPath Academy are purely knowledge. We hit the ground running fast when we got into UiPath, so it's been a good resource.

In terms of the value that I gain by being part of UiPath Platform's user community, it's shared experiences. Being here, talking to other people in other financial services, has been helpful. If there's one thing my team talks about a lot regarding UiPath Platform, it is staying on top of updates.

What needs improvement?

In a perfect world regarding UiPath Platform, in Orchestrator, I could select a process and hit the "update all" button. There are some things coming down the line regarding licensing for UiPath Platform where our current license structure is being sunsetted. There's just a lot of confusion over that. 

A little more clarification around licensing and how we can best take advantage of it for our organization's purposes would be helpful.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using UiPath Platform for two and a half years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I assess the stability and reliability of UiPath Platform as very stable. I have not experienced any downtime, crashes, or performance issues with UiPath Platform, not at the fault of UiPath.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

UiPath Platform scales very well with the growing needs of my organization. I have expanded usage of UiPath Platform. 

The process of expanding was fairly smooth. There are some hurdles that we had to overcome just with different business units and getting adoption going.

How are customer service and support?

I evaluate customer service and technical support for UiPath Platform as pretty good since we have their premier support package. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate customer service and technical support for UiPath Platform a ten. I have no complaints. They're just very expedient. They respond quickly. They're there when we need them.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

When evaluating UiPath Platform, the aspects that stood out to me were that we were on Foxtrot prior, and it was changing hands, and we didn't want to be a part of that. We'd have to redo everything anyway. UiPath was also a leader in the market, so we wanted to be a part of that. 

Before adopting UiPath Platform, I was using Foxtrot to address similar needs. The factors that led me to consider a change for UiPath Platform included that they were changing their platform and pricing. So we figured if we were going to have to do all this change anyway, we might as well assess what's out there.

How was the initial setup?

The act of deployment was pretty seamless from my perspective. We have an engineering team that takes care of deploying, so I just turn it on.

What was our ROI?

I have definitely seen a return on investment with UiPath Platform. We have about 150 processes in production with UiPath Platform. The one department that has the majority of those processes has not had to hire anybody else for those two years. Their people are happy, and we've saved them money and the need for more people.

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

I personally didn't have to experience pricing and licensing for UiPath Platform, as that was someone in a bigger chair than me.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I did not consider other solutions before selecting UiPath Platform.

What other advice do I have?

We do not use Agentic AI yet. 

My advice to other organizations considering UiPath Platform is that it works. Use it. Simple. 

I rate UiPath Platform a ten out of ten.

Accelerates automation development with flexible deployment and streamlined support
Pros and Cons
  • "The features of UiPath Platform that I value the most are the scheduling features and the ability to bring our own LLM."
  • "Over the three years, we have implemented 35 bots and are saving about 24,000 resource hours annually, and that does not even include the revenue that it has also probably helped generate."
  • "We went for the big wins with automations that would return a lot of resource hours, however, in hindsight, we should have brought in partners to track down and develop various use cases for automation."
  • "We went for the big wins with automations that would return a lot of resource hours, however, in hindsight, we should have brought in partners to track down and develop various use cases for automation."

What is our primary use case?

My main use case for UiPath Platform is to build RPA bots.

What is most valuable?

The features of UiPath Platform that I value the most are the scheduling features and the ability to bring our own LLM. 

Having the ability to bring our own LLM has helped reduce some of our costs. It was cheaper and we felt we had better results with the LLM.

My overall experience with using UiPath Agentic automation capabilities is that it was very easy and rapid to develop, and we achieved a more sophisticated end result than when we tried to use other AI tools to do a similar thing, which were not nearly as sophisticated or accurate.

What needs improvement?

My advice to another organization considering UiPath Platform is to focus on how they start up the program and what automations they choose to develop first. We went for the big wins with automations that would return a lot of resource hours, however, in hindsight, we should have brought in partners to track down and develop various use cases for automation. Any turning an ROI within six months should have been developed earlier, as we would have been three years down the road now of saving from those bots instead of having a long list of 30 bots that have been sitting there and not developed.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using UiPath Platform for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We have only had one big issue where the Google Suite products caused the bots interacting with the Google Suite connectors to fail, but we could never figure out why. We just ended up having to upgrade each of the bots, and thankfully they ended up working after that.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

UiPath Platform has scaled really well with our growing needs. We went from two bots to three licensed cores, and so far, just those three cores have been able to support all of our 35 bots. We are adding about 10 to 15 bots a year.

How are customer service and support?

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate my customer service and technical support experience as a ten. 

Every time I reach out to UiPath, my account rep quickly finds the right resources, gets us on a call in a timely manner, and helps us work through whatever we need. They schedule follow-up meetings to ensure we do not need more help.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The process with expanding has been pretty painless. We have our own CI/CD process that integrates with Git, GitHub, and our own pipeline, and it works really well, making pushing new bots not a problem at all.

What was our ROI?

We definitely have seen a return on investment with UiPath Platform. Over the three years, we have implemented 35 bots and are saving about 24,000 resource hours annually, and that does not even include the revenue that it has also probably helped generate.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Lately, we have looked at other solutions, including some of the Gemini products, to see if they had capabilities. We looked into them for performance, cost, support, scalability, and more citizen development capabilities. While Gemini has easier citizen development capabilities, what ends up getting developed is really not robust and often not enterprise-level use cases.

What other advice do I have?

We do not use the testing features, however, we do use Autopilot and the Agent Builder within UiPath Platform. The deployment model for UiPath Platform is in the cloud. It is our own cloud and our own instance in AWS. 

We have not implemented the Agentic automation yet, so we do not really have metrics; the Challenger is the sales template that we implemented or technique. 

I would rate UiPath Platform overall as an eight out of ten. We have primarily Mac users throughout our company, and some features like Task Mining are not usable because it is Windows-based.

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?

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Top 5
Automates processes effectively but requires clearer licensing and pricing improvements
Pros and Cons
  • "Building automations using UiPath is much easier than using Power Automate or any other tools because I have most of my experience with UiPath, and they have tried to fine-tune the automation experience over time."
  • "UiPath is not that stable. It has many issues sometimes."

What is our primary use case?

I have worked on Adi FlexiCapture, and my reviews are good about it because the automation that I had to end up using is still running fine, the document is in proper format, and it works fine. For Microsoft, I have tried using Form Recognizer for some passport extraction, and at that point in time, the extraction was not good. 

The solution speeds up digital transformation, but the cost is on the higher side.

How has it helped my organization?

The biggest benefits I have seen from the UiPath Academy include getting familiarized with whatever products they have, as whenever they release a product, they also release a course in the academy along with it. This helps users get familiarized with the tool and understand the capabilities of that particular solution they are putting forward.

What is most valuable?

The features I have found most valuable in UiPath are the robots, and now they have started implementing more in the intelligent automation space. This is a good step because the document understanding when it got added with Gentry T AI is working very well. 

However, the Orchestrator setup and the licensing model are aspects I don't like, though their automation cloud is good. 

The solution enables me to implement end-to-end automation, and I always do this, as any automation should be end-to-end. 

The solution has reduced human error. The solution has freed up employee time.

What needs improvement?

An area where UiPath can be improved is the pricing. The licensing model is confusing.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have almost seven years of experience working with UiPath now.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

UiPath is not that stable. It has many issues sometimes. Sometimes selectors may not work properly, and I think UiPath should also have some models for when other applications apart from replication are supposed to automate it, as the automation trips. There should be some sort of mechanism to override that, and many efficiency issues are still there, which need to be addressed properly.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability of my iPaaS is scalable enough, but the problem is that since the license cost is high and most of our solutions are deployed in Azure VMs, hosting Azure VM is also expensive. The customers are hesitant to invest in more bots or solutions.

How are customer service and support?

I would rate technical support from UiPath around six or seven, as it is average. The importance of end-to-end automation is significant for me, and I always want it to be that way.

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

Before using UiPath, I was a Dartmouth developer, so it's more of a generic thing.

How was the initial setup?

We are not very happy with how the pricing is, as most of the UiPath products are priced on the higher end compared to the competitors.

What about the implementation team?

My relationship with the vendor is that my current company is a UiPath partner. We are a Diamond partner. We have used the vendors' UiPath Academy courses.

What was our ROI?

I cannot definitively state if this solution has saved costs for our organization, but most of the solutions are cost-effective as we did some automations for accounting in our old organization, and now most of the accounting staff are just doing monitoring rather than doing things manually.

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

I am uncertain about where we deployed in the cloud. We are not very happy with how the pricing is, as most of the UiPath products are priced on the higher end compared to the competitors.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Building automations using UiPath is much easier than using Power Automate or any other tools because I have most of my experience with UiPath, and they have tried to fine-tune the automation experience over time. It's much easier compared to other tools.

What other advice do I have?

Minimizing my on-premises footprint is about migration to the cloud, and we are currently not using the on-premise version of UiPath. We have migrated to the cloud, and the migration process itself was very easy because they have a tool called the Cloud Migration Tool. 

It has more capabilities and is much easier for us to maintain when migrated to the cloud because we don't have to update the orchestrator after every release. 

The approximate number of end users in my organization of UiPath are more than twenty to thirty.

To someone evaluating this solution, I would say that it is good and it is a product that is evolving along with the current trend, looking into AI and moving into Accent Tech, so the future is still there. 

On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 6.5.
