UiPath Platform Reviews

I use UiPath for invoice processing. We download all the invoices from our application and then send them individually to the respective customers via email. This involves email automation and automation of the user interface.

Building automation with UiPath is easy. When compared to other automation tools, UiPath offers a more user-friendly development platform.

It enables us to implement end-to-end automation, from the basic extraction of data to the complete uploading of data to the respective applications.

UiPath's User Community is excellent. Whenever I encounter challenges or need information about new developments, version changes, or anything related to UiPath, the community is always there to help. Therefore, I find the community extremely valuable.

UiPath can be a useful tool for anyone. It doesn't require a separate environment or the need for a developer. It is beneficial for anyone dealing with any system. Therefore, I believe it can serve as a regular daily process tool, enabling users to automate various tasks effectively. There are numerous possibilities and applications with UiPath.

In my early days of entering this field of development, I completed the UiPath Academy courses to gain a comprehensive understanding of the interface, the approach we should take, and how to utilize the portal functionalities that UiPath offers.

UiPath has been instrumental in reducing human errors by 99 percent in applications that are maintained correctly, particularly in activities such as typing. There are certain tasks where humans are prone to making mistakes while working with applications, but UiPath ensures that such errors are eliminated. Initially, I had some doubts about UiPath's ability to extract data from PDF files, as the UiPath OCR engine seemed to have limitations. Consequently, we started relying on ABBYY FineReader for this task. However, we are now exploring UiPath's UI for document understanding. As a company, we have already developed around 200 to 300 templates using ABBYY FineReader, making it challenging for us to transition entirely to UiPath document understanding at present. Nevertheless, we are considering the shift because the early versions of UiPath were not very efficient, and we couldn't fully rely on it for data extraction. However, with the recent integration of Google Vision, UiPath has significantly improved and is now providing better results in terms of OCR technology.

The user interface is the most valuable feature of the studio version. It allows us to develop all activities and create custom activities as needed. Additionally, it seamlessly integrates with the latest technologies, such as AI, making it very helpful, even for integrating ABBYY FineReader. Users can extract data from the time scripts, which is also a project involving data extraction from all PDF files.

The UiPath Community does not provide version control for the community edition. Let's say I'm currently using a specific version, and then it automatically upgrades the community version to the latest version without the user having the option to decide whether to update or not. Consequently, we cannot use the older versions in the UiPath community edition.

I encountered some issues with my local machine. I created one of the bots using a different version from the community variation, there were problems with compatibility between different versions in UiPath. While those issues used to exist, currently, it has been a long time since I last modified any of the workflows and migrated between servers and my local machine. I'm not entirely certain at the moment, but previously, there were instances where a particular activity in one version would not work in another version and would result in failure. Additionally, sometimes the select task would not identify the select areas in the actual application, even though it worked on the validators. These scenarios are rare but they do occur.

I have been using UiPath for almost two years.

I would rate the stability of UiPath ten out of ten.

I would rate the scalability of UiPath eight out of ten.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The licensing fee is moderate and is based on the volume of tasks for which we use UiPath. The cost is satisfactory.

I would rate UiPath eight out of ten.

Currently, we are handling approximately 20,000 units of data on a daily basis. Our focus is on efficiently processing this data and integrating it into the scaled servers. We utilize the scale servers for data connectivity, verification, and storage purposes.

We are currently not using the AI functionality, but our company is anticipating a new project. The assignment of this project will happen very soon, and the company is considering the use of AI for it. However, this decision will ultimately depend on the user and the environment. If we determine that using AI functionality is necessary, we will integrate it into the project. At present, we have not encountered any users who explicitly require AI in their business logic. Therefore, we are not utilizing AI at the moment. Nevertheless, if any future clients request it, we will be prepared to integrate AI functionality accordingly.

Our organization has started using automation with UiPath. Before implementing UiPath, everything was done manually.

If the initial development is done correctly, then the maintenance would actually be significantly reduced. As a developer, we need to ensure that the code is always reviewed by developers, and they should always be available for this purpose. If the initial development is not carried out correctly according to the requirements, then imagine the consequences in the future. The development might need to be revisited for up to 15 years, or at least five years. If it is not done that way, the maintenance cost would be very high because the business processes keep changing. Therefore, to keep the system functioning well and the applications up-to-date, as they are not static, we need to continuously maintain the code. For instance, in the past six months, we've had to make two changes to the application we are working on. Many alterations occurred, such as UI element changes, shifting locations, and complete interface and navigation changes. Hence, it's essential for developers to always keep the code protected and up-to-date.

I recommend conducting a proof of concept using UiPath to ensure that the budget and return on investment are sufficient to implement the solution within an organization.

We're using UiPath for healthcare use cases. It is primarily used for automating document-related tasks, such as moving documents around, classifying them, and extracting the information we need. 

UiPath has increased our accuracy to 99.99 percent and expanded our ability to process large volumes of data, making data processing more affordable and improving our profitability. It has helped reduce personnel time and enhanced productivity because we can run the bots 24 hours daily.

We can automatically scan documents and send the information through Twilio. Document scanning is tricky, but we can easily collect the data after finishing the process. The integration is smooth. 

The solution helps us share data between systems, which speeds things up. Previously, we were doing everything manually. Now, we can automate data tasks in Informatics with UiPath. 

UiPath enables us to pull patient information into a single dashboard with the help of a Power BI integration service. Power BI is our dashboard solution, and we integrate it via API. It's much easier to monitor the patients because we can see how many records were successfully processed and prepared. It's secure enough to comply with HIPAA because we can collect patient data and encrypt it. Automated scheduling helps the healthcare staff, particularly the doctors. 

I like the ability to extract emails and other data from scanned documents. The machine learning and AI features are helpful because we're processing tons of documents and warehousing the data. UiPath's Document Understanding makes that much easier. 

Document processing could be improved. It's challenging to build document automations. It would be helpful if UiPath provided some templates and prebuilt models. Citrix automation could be improved. It's static automation, and we cannot fully automate processes involving Citrix. Some elements aren't supported. 

I have used UiPath for around four years.

UiPath is generally stable, but the stability goes down when we do Citrix automation.

UiPath is scalable enough. We are using more than 20 licenses. 

I rate UiPath support 10 out of 10. I'm satisfied. When we raise a ticket, we get a response in a day or two. 

Positive

UiPath Studio is available in community and enterprise versions, but the UI doesn't work correctly in the community edition, so it's difficult to achieve 100 percent automation. I'm not responsible for the licensing, so I don't know how much it costs. 

I rate UiPath 10 out of 10. I recommend UiPath because it's better than other automation tools like Blue Prism. It's easy to use and has a large user community that you can rely on for support.

I utilize UiPath to automate the majority of tasks that we previously had to implement manually.

Building automation with UiPath is a simple task that does not require any coding knowledge, making it accessible even for beginners.

UiPath has helped our organization accelerate performance and increase production across our entire enterprise. We are now able to service our clients within the shortest time possible.

UiPath enables us to implement end-to-end automation. The processes we engage with UiPath help us monitor the entire implementation process and show us where there are downtimes and challenges within the workflow.

We have benefited from being part of UiPath's user community. We are able to connect with the customer support team and receive prompt answers to our questions through video calls.

UiPath has enabled us to transition from manual work processes to automation, thereby reducing the cost of human labor and effectively minimizing our on-premises footprint.

Our team utilized UiPath Academy courses to integrate UiPath with our applications, aiming to achieve optimal performance and expedite our vendor network infrastructure. This integration ensures comprehensive monitoring and security throughout the entire workflow process.

We utilize the AI functionality within our automation program to ensure the acceleration of program implementations.

AI has simplified the majority of complex processes and has reduced the cost and time required to implement most tasks by 40 percent.

UiPath has expedited our digital transformation by assuming control of all manual logs. We have automated all processes related to information processing and task implementation.

UiPath has reduced human errors by 80 percent.

The automation and speed of the platform are the most valuable features of UiPath.

The cost of full deployment is high and there is room for improvement.

I have been using UiPath for three months.

UiPath is a stable solution.

UiPath is scalable.

The technical support team is cooperative in assisting us with challenges related to our operations and security configurations. It is easy to obtain support for critical issues.

Positive

We had previously utilized IBM Robotic Process Automation; however, the organization's management faced challenges with IBM's lack of cooperation. Consequently, we sought a more advanced and reliable solution.

The initial setup was simple. The deployment lasted for two days and necessitated the presence of three individuals.

We have observed approximately a 30 percent return on investment by utilizing UiPath.

UiPath is priced to accommodate large enterprises, but it is expensive for small and medium-sized enterprises.

I would rate UiPath eight out of ten. UiPath exhibits scalability and flexibility in terms of integrations.

UiPath is utilized by four people in our department.

Maintenance is required for upgrades.

I recommend UiPath to any enterprise that is seeking suitable tools for robotic process automation.

The business side of our company has different processes and they send us requests to develop automation for them.

Almost all of our processes are end-to-end automations. Our company looks for a single solution provider and the minimum number of tools needed to automate a whole process. We don't want to jump between different systems where the owners have to get more approvals to get the automation done. It's better to have one simple solution that can work on different scenarios.

Another benefit is, obviously, that processes that don't require human intervention can comply with security requirements and then you can host it on a VM. You then schedule the automation and it will run. It's really good compared to competitors, like Automation Anywhere, which have not yet reached that level.

UiPath also speeds up digital transformation in many ways. People start thinking about automation and the processes from start to end. For example, if there are four steps in a process and one team member is responsible for the third step, by turning the process into an automation, he knows the whole process from start to end.

In addition, it helps reduce human error, especially for repetitive processes done with human effort, but that is true of any automation, not just UiPath. But I do think UiPath is the best solution. UiPath has sped up processes for many of our teams, and they are much happier. They can explore other areas in which they are more interested. Personally, UiPath automation has saved me at least three hours a day.

The key features that I find quite helpful include

• Orchestrator support
• Automation Hub 
• Process Mining
• Document Understanding
• Test Manager
• Insights.

On the Orchestrator side, I would like to see more controls and conditions for RPA managers. If they advanced in those areas, it would help.

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

It's stable.

We have over 100 users in our company.

We have UiPath on-premises so we usually upgrade the platform whenever they release a stable version. There is some work involved with UiPath web extensions, which we have to install on web browsers.

We usually talk with our account manager. UiPath's technical support team is good. They are always approachable.

Positive

I did not work in RPA before I started using UiPath.

UiPath is costly compared to Power Automate Desktop, but if you want to do most things, UiPath helps a lot. The more you use it, the cheaper it gets.

UiPath is the industry leader in RPA. Other tools, such as Automation Anywhere and the Power Automate platform, are notably lacking in most of the features.

There is a big learning curve if someone is new to programming. It would be better to have gone through some basic data types or to have an understanding of how logical sequences work. But apart from that, it is easy to build automations. Once you understand how to use logic, it's easy. 

In our company, people are still adapting. It's not 100 percent done. We are asking many teams to start learning UiPath and automating simple things first.

There is a desktop studio and any citizen developer can develop an automation without learning much. It's quite simple to use. When you want to share something with other team members, you just publish it to Orchestrator and share it with UiPath Assistant. That is quite helpful for any team looking for automation.

The UiPath Academy has different certifications and, on my team, everyone has done some kind of course there and received certification. They know what they're doing and understand how RPA works.

I would suggest developing a basic understanding of how to use UiPath Studio, which is the IDE. Try different things and, then, if you're stuck, go to the UiPath forum for help. If it requires more detailed knowledge, then go with a video course in the UiPath Academy. But most of the time, we Google an issue and find answers on the UiPath forum or documentation. Sometimes a YouTube video will help. It's not necessary to go through the video learning process in the Academy to start using automation.

I use UiPath to automate tasks in our internal HR and finance departments, as well as to dispatch back office requests, close accounts, process insurance claims, and make international money transfers.

Building automation with UiPath is easy. It depends on our level of understanding of the process we want to automate. UiPath offers a wide range of possibilities for automating business processes. For example, we can use UiPath to get input data from files, extract data from databases, or make SQL requests. We can also use UiPath to manipulate applications, perform human actions on the user interface, and introduce back-office processes. Finally, we can use UiPath to distribute the execution of our automation across multiple devices.

UiPath enables us to implement end-to-end automation and orchestrate all processes using the orchestration tool. We can get the inputs for the process and execute the report at the end. We have all kinds of possibilities. For five or six years now, we have been able to automate all the processes that we faced, as long as the inputs are structured and well-structured, and we have a good flow and volume of inputs.

There are numerous advantages to using UiPath. Firstly, it can significantly increase productivity and reduce processing time. Secondly, UiPath enables scalability, allowing processes to be performed around the clock, seven days a week. Additionally, robots can execute processes with consistent quality, minimizing the risk of errors or incidents. Finally, UiPath can help optimize human resources by delegating tasks with low added value to robots, freeing up human resources to focus on tasks that require higher levels of expertise.

The time it takes to bring UiPath to market can range from a few days to several weeks. The return on investment can become apparent within a few weeks or months, depending on the complexity of the process involved.

When we refer to UiPath as a suite, it includes several tools and features that can greatly facilitate the automation process. For instance, we can group some commonly used features into a single library. Additionally, we can segregate the different layers of our development process. These abundant features can help us organize our work on UiPath, ultimately reducing our on-premises footprint.

UiPath Academy is a place where we can ramp up our skills very quickly and become operational as soon as possible.

UiPath's AI features provide a broad range of API applications, such as handling unstructured inputs. This includes non-digital inputs such as paper forms. Additionally, the system can process false inputs that are not well-organized through character recognition. UiPath also offers machine learning to further enhance its functionalities.

UiPath accelerates digital transformation and significantly lowers the associated costs. The impact is significant as it enables the deployment of production environments in just a few weeks. Additionally, RPA users can collaborate over the weekend to automate applications starting from the human interface. This allows us to automate more processes effectively. Other tools may require access to top-up bases or the use of Unix or scripts, but with RPA, we can automate a wide range of features based solely on the user interface component.

There were no expansive or complex application upgrades or IT application support required.

UiPath helped to decrease human error. By developing autonomous processes and thoroughly testing them, we ensure consistent and reliable execution, which guarantees high-quality results for our customers. Compared to human execution, global execution by robots is both more accurate and quicker.

UiPath saved us around 17 percent of our time.

UiPath helps to save costs in several ways, such as reducing the time required for execution. The main difference between manual and automatic processes is the ability to have UiPath execute tasks on our behalf, based on pre-defined reports. Unlike humans, who typically work from eight o'clock in the morning until six o'clock in the evening, UiPath can work all day, even on weekends. This can result in cost savings of up to 60 percent.

The queue feature is the most interesting to me because it allows us to work on a list of tasks in parallel on several robots.  Additionally, the ability to integrate the OCR components is valuable. We use this feature for one of our banks in Africa. These are the most valuable features that we cannot find with other tools.

The pricing has room for improvement.

I would appreciate UiPath's assistance in simplifying our process of easily and quickly capturing our customers' business requirements within our framework.

I have been using UiPath for almost seven years.

UiPath is stable.

UiPath is scalable.

UiPath's technical support is reactive.

Positive

The initial setup is complex, and obtaining a license for training poses a challenge. As a result, an experienced person is necessary to complete the deployment. Our deployment required two people.

The deployment can take one to two days for an experienced person, but for an inexperienced person, it may take up to three weeks.

The implementation was completed in-house.

The return on investment is based on the complexity of the process that is being automated.

The cost of UiPath is higher in Africa than in Europe and Asia due to differences in salary levels. As a result, the number of customers who are able to use UiPath is limited.

We pay for additional components to include features, in addition to the licensing fees.

We utilized Selenium Test Automation for tests and conducted an evaluation. However, it did not fully meet our business requirements, so we selected UiPath.

I give UiPath a seven out of ten.

Due to the quantity of customer input, the success of automating tasks is not solely dependent on the capabilities of UiPath tools. The quality of the paper scan, document quality, and resolution are also crucial factors that can positively or negatively impact the possibility of a wide range of automation. Therefore, the success of automation is highly reliant on the quality of the source inputs, in addition to UiPath's capabilities.

Our implementation strategy involves beginning with the proof of concept and then separating processes before moving on to scaling the API.

I would recommend UiPath for large enterprise companies, as the cost of the solution may be prohibitive for smaller organizations.

I recommend that anyone assessing UiPath should first create a clear automation roadmap. This will enable them to address questions related to optimization, implementation, and development.

UiPath is a robotic process automation tool used for large-scale end-to-end automation. It provides solutions for businesses to automate routine office activities.

It is easy to implement building automation with UiPath. This solution provides two million automation processes, which is a higher number compared to any other automation solution.

The app enables us to implement end-to-end automation for accelerated business exchange and the robots are used to translate the strategies into the task.

The user community of UiPath offers an environment filled with information for us to work with.

UiPath can help reduce automation costs by 80 to 90 percent compared to other software solutions. Additionally, UiPath offers time-saving benefits compared to other industry-presented software.

We utilize UiPath Academy courses to assist our organization in sales, banking, systems, and trade execution.

AI has helped us automate processes by using machine learning and complex algorithms to analyze certain data, and we can develop a business knowledge base by formulating predictions based on data. 

UiPath has significantly reduced costs and time consumption compared to other automation tools like Blue Prism, which is a Microsoft tool that I have also used. UiPath offers unique features that Blue Prism does not provide. Although Blue Prism may reduce costs by 70 to 80 percent, UiPath's cost reduction capabilities are also noteworthy, with reductions of up to 70 to 80 percent reported in industries and organizations that use it.

UiPath has minimized the occurrence of human error as opposed to machines that do not make mistakes.

UiPath has saved our employees a lot of time and our organization a lot of money.

UiPath offers features that are not available in other automation solutions, such as Blue Prism. Unlike Blue Prism, UiPath provides recorded playback, advanced scripting options, high security, and awareness. Additionally, UiPath offers 24/7 support through chat, providing solutions to any problems we may be facing.

The user-friendly interface allows users to visually plan and design various automation processes through it.

The support provided by UiPath could be improved. It would be beneficial to have a more effective forum where users can ask questions and receive precise responses to their concerns.

I have been using UiPath for eight months.

UiPath is stable.

UiPath is scalable.

The technical support can be slow at times but the issues are always resolved.

Positive

I previously used Blue Prism. If we consider a key feature that UiPath has over Blue Prism, it would be cost savings. UiPath has the ability to save up to 30 percent of the organization's costs, while also increasing speed compared to Blue Prism. It can be said that UiPath is much more efficient than Blue Prism, saving a significant amount of time for the user.

I give UiPath a ten out of ten.

UiPath is deployed in the cloud and consists of a server-side and client-side. Developers communicate with UiPath directly through a browser. Additionally, UiPath has agent support that allows the service to search all currently available data on the device before it is moved to SQL Server.

The solution is maintained by UiPath in the cloud but it is slow.

UiPath is an end-to-end automation tool that helps businesses accelerate their processes by providing solutions for automating routine activities. These solutions enable faster and more efficient business exchanges.

UiPath offers a user-friendly automation building process utilizing a drag-and-drop workflow feature for UI automation. Additionally, the platform includes recording capabilities and a playback feature to ensure accuracy. Advanced scraping options are also available for more complex tasks.

We utilize UiPath to automate processes that relate to good causes. Our approach involves creating a playbook task and subsequently automating the process. After that, the IT department assists us in collecting and interpreting data from various applications in the UA portion.

UiPath's automation capability is important because it saves us a lot of time. There are two sides to consider: the client side and the server side. On the client side, the UI allows developers or data users to communicate directly with the system. This can be done using tools such as RobotStudio or data browsers. Essentially, these operations can be seen as back-end tasks. On the server side, tasks and workloads generated by the user are stored in SQL databases.

UiPath has minimized our on-prem footprint.

The UiPath Academy courses are beneficial. 

The AI functionality in UiPath helps us save time by streamlining our workflows within the studios. Additionally, it enhances our automation capabilities, speeds up order processing, and enables us to make better decisions, ultimately reducing the risk of errors.

The automation has saved us between 70 and 80 percent of our processing costs.

UiPath has freed up employee time and increased productivity.

The screen recording feature is valuable.

The data team support that provides the UI and the chat services has room for improvement.

I have been using the solution for six months.

The solution is stable.

UiPath is highly scalable.

The technical support is good.

Positive

Before, I used Blue Prism, but now at my new organization, we use UiPath. Unlike Blue Prism, which only specializes in back-end applications, UiPath works with both front-end and back-end applications.

I give the solution a ten out of ten.

We use UiPath to automate the processing of large volumes of data. The company has multiple sites, but the organization's data warehouse is at one location. Around 80 people use the solution. 

UiPath enabled the company to reduce staff. We can now perform more work with fewer people. We decreased our manual work by around 60 to 70 percent. UiPath freed up personnel to do other tasks. We still have people doing about 30 percent of the data work, but we hope to increase that to 100 percent. We've cut costs by about 40 to 50 percent.  

We are launching new products using existing UiPath workflows built for our older core projects. When we get new requirements from the client, we can easily implement them. UiPath has expanded our capacity to take on new clients. 

The most valuable aspect of UiPath is that it doesn't require much coding. We can do most of what we need using the basic functionality. We can implement the code with drag and drop and basic modular programming.

The user interface could be better. There have been advancements in UI design and user experience in recent years. UiPath could do a better job of keeping up with these trends.

I have used UiPath for about five or six months.

UiPath is stable.

UiPath is scalable because we can reuse our workflows. 

I rate UiPath support an eight out of ten.

Positive

We used Microsoft Power Automate for one or two months. UiPath has more capabilities, and we can do more with it. 

Setting up UiPath is straightforward and requires some maintenance. The deployment team does that.

We're getting more clients using UiPath, so the price we pay isn't an issue. 

I rate UiPath a nine out of ten. I would recommend it to my clients and colleagues. It doesn't require much coding knowledge to use. It's also much cheaper than paying human employees to do the same work, and bots are less prone to errors. 

We use it to automate output from PDFs.

It reduces human time and human error compared to manual processes. It helps a lot in improving business productivity, project productivity, and scalability. It also saves us money.

UiPath is easy to use without any training. Anyone can use it. There is also great customer support. And if you want to learn new things or enhance your skills, you can choose the UiPath Academy training courses.

It is very secure and cheaper and faster.

It needs improvement in terms of optimization. Sometimes the tools slow down when you are working on a huge data set or if the internet connectivity is slow in your area. Otherwise, it works as well as the other tools that are available in the market.

I have been using UiPath for the last three years.

I give the stability a 10 out of 10. It is very stable compared to other solutions.

The scalability is also good, a 10 out of 10.

I have deployed it across different departments and different locations, per the requirements of the various projects I have worked on.

I would give a 10 out of 10 to customer support. If you have any queries you can post them to the community. Last year I was facing some issues related to some processes and I posted queries on the community. I got a response after some time. That was very good for me.

Before UiPath, I tried a related Microsoft tool. 

I did one deployment with the team, but I'm not privy to how deployment works from scratch. But the deployment is of medium difficulty, not very straightforward and not very easy.

I have used UiPath in different types of deployments, depending on the project. Sometimes it's on a private cloud. For example, if it is a project related to deployment on the client side or server, we use the cloud services. If we want to test something on a website or another cloud, then we use the SaaS.

The solution does require some maintenance. The number of people needed depends on the project's size and complexity.

It gives a great ROI. It gives around 25 to 30 percent return. It works well.

The pricing is moderate. It's not that cheap and not very expensive. Every organization can buy or renew a license.

I have used Microsoft Power Automate. I chose UiPath because it is cheaper and has great customer support. There is a huge community of developers, more than for Microsoft Power Automate.

If we're working on a project related to website automation, it requires a minimum of five to 10 people. And if we're working on a small project, there might be a single person or maybe two who work on it. The responsibilities relate to developing, testing, and hosting.

If an engineer wants to learn more about RPA, they should consider this tool first. I always recommend UiPath if you are working as an individual. If you invest X, it will give you 100X.

My major use case with UiPath is to create automation applications that reduce manual work. At the same time, we use it to record and update our processes. 

UiPath has helped us elevate our automation process and reduce silos in our businesses. We have been able to deliver better results by using UiPath.

UiPath has improved efficiency with its end-to-end automation process. For example, we do data transfer using UiPath automation. Right from the insertion of data to the transfer of data to the end-user, everything is completely automated now. It's very apt as end-to-end automation software. End-to-end automation is very important because there is no manual intervention needed, once it has been set up. A lot of time and a lot of effort has been saved because of end-to-end automation.

Because no manual intervention is needed, 80 percent of our time, overall, is being saved right now. For example, tasks that required around 10 employees to do only require two employees. The remaining eight employees can focus on something else, to improve sales or our product feature list, et cetera. And invariably, overhead costs and employee costs have been drastically reduced with UiPath.

We are using the cloud version of UiPath, and it has definitely helped us to reduce our on-premises footprint. There is absolutely no on-premises maintenance because everything is on the cloud for us. Server updates and the like happen on the cloud. Currently, we just have a couple of systems on-premises for manual work, but apart from that, our on-premises footprint is almost zero.

Another benefit is that UiPath has reduced the cost of digital transformation because it's complete, end-to-end automation software on the cloud. Everything is digital for us now. There is no paperwork or manual intervention needed. Employees who work remotely can get easily connected and download and process data, as well, with UiPath. This digital transformation didn't require expensive or complex application upgrades or IT application support. UiPath is very straightforward software. It's one of the easiest-to-understand RPA platforms. So we have not used any third-party applications or anything else to do our tasks.

We deal with a lot of data and UiPath has definitely reduced human error. Previously, while transferring data, data loss would happen here and there, and that consumed a lot of time. But since the end-to-end automation with UiPath, there are zero errors. It's very useful and has greatly improved our efficiency. We have seen about a 25 percent improvement in overall efficiency since we started using UiPath. It has saved us three hours per day out of an eight-hour workday.

The most valuable features for me are the Automation Hub and Studio. I engage with the Studio functionality in UiPath, as that is where most of the design happens. I'm from a non-technical background, so for me, it's very easy to just drag and drop the fields using the Studio functionality and place them in my workflow module. That is my favorite aspect of UiPath.

The option in Studio of the drag-and-drop functionality makes it very easy to design certain applications. One project that I have been working on is building security automation for our organization. For example, if anybody plugs malicious devices into a laptop or our system, a notification pops up. And if somebody logs in to our system from a different account, a notification pops up. It has been very straightforward to do that. It's not rocket science. Just drag and drop and proceed from there.

Also, the user community is fantastic. I just post whatever queries I have on the user community and I get a lot of responses immediately. That has been very helpful for me. It's one of the premium communities out there for any software. I'm enjoying the user community.

In terms of the product, I don't have any complaints. Here and there, small server downtime happens, but that is expected with any cloud-based software.

I've been using UiPath for about a year.

Being cloud software, it's stable. They just need to make sure that it's up to date.

Initially, we started out with 15 users and now we have 25. In that way, it's scalable, but any automation software is scalable.

They could provide much more premium, quicker customer service. I'm from India and the customer support team is elsewhere. There's a time difference and, whenever I post a query or ask them for help, the response is delayed. That is one way they could improve.

In terms of their product knowledge and quality, I'd rate their technical support very highly, but it's their response where they could be much more efficient.

Before this, we were actually trying to develop an in-house application ourselves, but things didn't pan out for us. That's why we switched to UiPath. We didn't use any other software.

I was partially involved in the initial setup. I wouldn't say it was complex; it was a smooth process for us. It took around 25 days for us to get it up and running in our organization. We expected the process to go on for two months at least, but that didn't happen. It was quicker.

A couple of our guys, along with two employees from the UiPath team, worked together on the implementation. They gave us initial training on how to go about things.

We are a very small startup company. We have three teams in our organization and the platform is deployed across all three teams.

UiPath has resulted in a greater return on investment in terms of profits. We have seen a 20 percent increase in our overall revenue for the last financial year. We have seen a good return on investment from UiPath.

For the features and the quality of features that they provide, it's a very reasonably priced product.

We didn't evaluate any other options before going with UiPath because we knew it was one of the market leaders. It was just a matter of whether it fit our budget or not. Luckily, it fit our budget, so we purchased it.

The biggest lesson I've learned from using UiPath so far is that, in the current digital age, automation is everything. Automation is going to be the future. I would definitely urge others to start using at least the Community Edition of UiPath. That is the free edition. Try using that edition first, to get a handle on things, before going for the paid edition.
