Quick automation deployment meets diverse business needs efficiently

What is our primary use case?

I have not yet utilized the AI integration features of UiPath Platform as I am still exploring AI as a whole. I mainly make use of its unattended automation options, while attended automation usage is very minimal.

How has it helped my organization?

It has helped significantly in meeting our diverse business needs despite our complex organizational structure.

What is most valuable?

The code-free automation engine of UiPath Platform has helped users in our organization. The specific benefits I have observed are quick turnaround in developing scripts, integration with various systems, and successful PDF reading capabilities. The success rate is good, and based on that, we were able to deploy the bots quickly.

It has helped significantly in meeting our diverse business needs despite our complex organizational structure.

What needs improvement?

The main area where UiPath Platform can be improved is the cost; everything else is good.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using UiPath Platform for four to five years.

How are customer service and support?

I would rate the technical support by UiPath Platform as good, giving it a nine out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

What was our ROI?

We have seen return on investment with improvements.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Based on my experience, I would recommend UiPath Platform to others, although we have evaluated other products which are more affordable. Since UiPath Platform is very expensive, we are exploring other products such as Kofax with their Tungsten Automation and RPA tools. I can also explore alternatives using APIs, mainly due to UiPath Platform's high cost.

What other advice do I have?

I have been generally satisfied with UiPath Platform. Regarding the impact of UiPath Platform's analytics capabilities on our organization's decision-making processes, we are implementing only RPA based on particular process documents, not analytics. We achieved good efficiency gains using UiPath Platform, particularly in terms of improved turnaround time, though specific metrics cannot be revealed.

I would rate the product overall as nine out of ten, with the main drawback being its high cost compared to other products.

It reduces human error and helps us eliminate repetitive tasks
Pros and Cons
  • "The task recording is awesome. I love being able to see the processes and find out the issues a lot better."

    What is our primary use case?

    We use UiPath for our accounts receivable and accounts payable. We are a wood company that uses it primarily for customer care and finance.

    How has it helped my organization?

    UiPath helps us to reduce human error and eliminate some repetitive tasks involved in processing invoices, so our employees can focus on critical work. We have been able to assign users to different tasks. These tasks are done faster with fewer errors, and our customers our happier. 

    What is most valuable?

    The task recording is awesome. I love being able to see the processes and find out the issues a lot better.

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

    I can't really say about the pricing and licensing.

    What other advice do I have?

    I rate UiPath nine out of 10.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Hybrid Cloud

    Low-code and easy to use with a strong online user community
    Pros and Cons
    • "The automation saves on manual labor."
    • "The pricing can be a big factor for a lot of users. It could be reduced to help more companies leverage its automation capabilities."

    What is our primary use case?

    The solution is to get requirements over to Jira, then we use it to automate some of the processes. We can automate changes and statuses.

    What is most valuable?

    The solution is user-friendly and easy to handle. Anyone can understand it pretty quickly.

    The robots are helpful. The orchestrator is easy to operate. 

    The UI is simple and easy to understand.

    It makes automation very easy. There are some use cases where you need a small amount of coding. It's a very low-code way of automating. That means you don't need much knowledge to start building what you need. Overall, it's easy to learn. You can even Google questions and find solutions to your queries. 

    We can make end-to-end automation, even though I might now always use it that way.

    The user community is very good. On their own website, you can find a lot of great information.Their documentation allows you to understand it pretty well. There are videos as well. They make it easy to understand and follow along. Seeing it visualized makes things much easier. And if you have any errors, there are many people all over the world that may have already dealt with those, so you can get information to help you adjust. 

    Since it's low-code, we saw the benefits of using UiPath very quickly.

    We've been able to minimize our on-premises footprint. 

    I've used the UiPath Academy. I've been certified. There are lots of videos and you can go through and you can complete any number of certificates. 

    When you make automation, you can save a lot of time. Using it, you can reduce your manual output. It helps VAs and managers save time.

    The automation saves on manual labor.

    What needs improvement?

    They already have a good overview of the product and training. I haven't found anything significantly negative about the product. 

    The pricing can be a big factor for a lot of users. It could be reduced to help more companies leverage its automation capabilities. 

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I've been using the solution for the past five years. 

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The stability is good. We haven't gotten any kinds of errors. 

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    The scalability is good. 

    How are customer service and support?

    I've never contacted technical support. 

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

    I've used other RPA tools, such as Automation Anywhere. People do need to have a bit more knowledge about AA before using it. 

    How was the initial setup?

    The deployment is very easy. There are just some steps you need to follow. We were able to deploy it in three to four hours. We had three people handling the deployment process as well as testing and creating automation. 

    There is maintenance if you make any changes to processes. For example, if an endpoint changes, the automation will need to be changed. 

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

    Automation Anywhere may be more widely used than UiPath based on pricing. 

    What other advice do I have?

    We're UiPath end-users. 

    They have a feature called communications mining. However, I haven't used it yet. 

    I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

    It's a good tool to start with when exploring RPA automation, and there are many free items available on the UiPath Academy website itself. You just need to log in, and you can get certified and start practicing. You can start practicing with creating your own bot. It's a very easy tool, and very user-friendly. With small, low-code capabilities, a non-technical person can learn it; it just requires small amounts of coding.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    On-premises

    If you implement the correct logic and exception handling in your code, it seldom makes mistakes
    Pros and Cons
    • "I like the Orchestrator and the AI Center. The AI Center has many pre-trained trained models you can adapt to your requirements."
    • "UiPath's processing speed is a little slow. That's its only drawback compared to other tools."

    What is our primary use case?

    My company delivers projects to clients based on their requirements. We use the tool for web and UI automation.

    How has it helped my organization?

    UiPath reduces human error. If you implement the correct logic and exception handling in your code, it's seldom wrong. The solution saves time compared to other tools, especially when you are trying to automate something that's complicated. It simplifies complex processes and makes my work easier. 

    What is most valuable?

    I like the Orchestrator and the AI Center. The AI Center has many pre-trained models you can adapt to your requirements. You can train your AI or upload your own model as well. You can use the AI to extract the information from structured or unstructured documents.

    UiPath is easy to use and implement. The tool has so many capabilities that we can use without using any code. Everything is there, and it's a low-code solution. We only need to drag and drop the elements and apply the logic.

    The UiPath community is helpful. Most of the questions have already been answered on the forum, and you can easily solve your issues there. I've done the UiPath Academy courses. I took the fundamental course and the advanced developer course. I also received an associate developer certification. You can develop a complete understanding of the tool and its capabilities using the Academy. 

    What needs improvement?

    UiPath's processing speed is a little slow. That's its only drawback compared to other tools. 

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have used UiPath for about two years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    UiPath is highly stable. 

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

    I have used Microsoft Power Automate and OpenRPA. I believe UiPath is the best because of its capabilities, but I also think Power Automate is nice. Power Automate has robust integration with Microsoft platforms. That's one thing I like about it. 

    How was the initial setup?

    I found the initial deployment to be difficult, but it became easier once I gained some experience. UiPath doesn't require any maintenance unless there are changes on the website that cause the bot to not work properly. You can find the issue in the error log. 

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

    UiPath is a costly solution. Many of the clients choose another solution after hearing the price. 

    What other advice do I have?

    I rate UiPath ten out of ten. UiPath is the best tool on the market, but the licensing cost is high and many clients don't have the budget. They prefer other tools like Power Automate, OpenRPA, and Automation Anywhere and all that. Otherwise, it's a great product with more capabilities than the other tools.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    On-premises

    Brings efficiency, reduces errors, and saves time
    Pros and Cons
    • "The cloud feature is valuable. Automation Hub and AI fabric are also good features."
    • "Any unnecessary features should be removed. Only the relevant features should be there."

    What is our primary use case?

    We have many use cases. We have used it in finance, HR, IT, business supply chain, insurance, etc.

    How has it helped my organization?

    It is easy to build automation using UiPath. UiPath definitely provides a lot of value to the organization. There is efficiency and effectiveness.

    UiPath has helped to minimize our on-prem footprint. It is very important for us.

    The AI functionality has given us a lot of flexibility to go to the management and tell them that we can enhance things. Some of the things that they initially thought could not be automated can now be automated.

    The AI functionality has enabled us to automate more processes, but it is not an easy process to understand and implement automation. It is relatively new, and it requires a lot of change management.

    UiPath speeds up digital transformation and reduces the cost of digital transformation. 

    UiPath has reduced human error. There is an 80% reduction. UiPath has also freed up employee time by 80%. 

    UiPath has saved costs for our organization by 30%.

    What is most valuable?

    The cloud feature is valuable. Automation Hub and AI fabric are also good features.

    UiPath Community is good. They answer all the queries.

    What needs improvement?

    Their support should be improved. 

    Any unnecessary features should be removed. Only the relevant features should be there. There are so many unnecessary features that are not used by the organization. They are offering too many things such as process mining, task mining, communication mining, intelligent documentation, etc. It should be a specialized solution. It should not do everything in this world because the value comes down.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using UiPath for six years.

    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 scalable. I would rate it an eight out of ten for scalability. 

    It is being used at multiple locations.

    How are customer service and support?

    Their support is very poor. It is not timely. They sometimes take a lot of time to find resolution.

    We do not use UiPath Academy. UiPath Academy courses are good, but nobody on the team is doing the courses through UiPath Academy.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Neutral

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

    I have also worked with Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism. All these tools are good. IQ Bot from Automation Anywhere is very good. It has better features than UiPath, but UiPath is marketed well.

    How was the initial setup?

    I was involved in its deployment. It is a straightforward process. It took us three months.

    It does require maintenance. We have five people for deployment and maintenance.

    What about the implementation team?

    We have consultants.

    What was our ROI?

    We have seen an ROI. It took us five years to see an ROI.

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

    UiPath is expensive.

    What other advice do I have?

    It is a great tool, and I can help people to implement it.

    I would rate UiPath an eight out of ten.

    It has helped us speed up digital transformation and reduce the cost of digital transformation. We were able to speed transformation in a way that wasn't expensive. 

    UiPath has helped us reduce human error. It's also assisted with productivity.

    The product has freed up employee time, however, how much time depends on the process itself. 

    The solution has helped us save costs. How much we save depends on the process.

    What needs improvement?

    The recording module could be improved. The screen identifications can be better.

    What other advice do I have?

    I'm a UiPath customer. 

    At this point, we don't use the UiPath AI functionality. 

    I'd rate the solution nine out of ten overall. 

    I'd advise potential new users to do a proof of concept before investing in UiPath. 

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
