UiPath Platform Reviews

We use UiPath to automate simple, everyday processes like email automation.

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

Using UiPath to build automation is easy compared to the other automation solutions I have used.

UiPath enables us to implement end-to-end automation, which is important because it helps us eliminate human errors.

The UiPath User Community is good.

The UiPath Academy courses are helpful, and all of our team members use them. We have learned a lot about UiPath from the courses.

UiPath helped to speed up our digital transformation and reduce the cost of doing so. We did not require any expensive or complex application upgrades or IT application support to speed up our digital transformation.

We have repeatedly tested our processes with humans and with UiPath. We consistently achieve better results with UiPath because it eliminates the possibility of human error in our reports.

UiPath saves our staff time by reducing the manual tasks.

UiPath has saved us money by eliminating the need for a person to perform repetitive daily tasks.

The ease of automation using UiPath is valuable.

UiPath should add support for more programming languages, such as Python, in addition to VBScript, to help developers with their coding.

I have been using UiPath for just over one year.

UiPath does sometimes go down, but compared to other automation tools I have used, it is more stable.

The technical support is good. I received a response within one day the last time I contacted them.

Positive

I have used Automation Anywhere for some projects, but UiPath is far better because of its easy-to-access and informative User Community.

The initial deployment is straightforward. All we have to do is publish and grab the data linked to the orchestrator. One person is required for the deployment.

The implementation was completed in-house.

The price is a bit high, but UiPath is worth the cost, given its ease of use and features. We sometimes use Automation Anywhere instead of UiPath to save costs, but UiPath is our preferred choice.

I would rate UiPath nine out of ten.

No real maintenance is required for UiPath.

UiPath is easy to use and automates well. It is also good at identifying errors compared to other solutions.

The use cases have been really broad for us. We have been trying to go in a bunch of different directions. The use cases started out small with attended automation, trying to automate a bunch of reports for our operations departments. That's where we started just to prove the concept, and now we're branching out into some of the document understanding.

We're in the financial services industry. I work specifically for our security clearing division. I do stock trading, bonds, and all that kind of stuff. Our main objective was productivity, trying to prevent from having to hire so many people to run our ops department.

We have also done task mining. It has been really great for us. It's helped not only document what we're going to do for automation but also document processes in general. There are a lot of departments that just don't have any documentation. 

We've really been leveraging it in that way to try and get better documentation around all processes. 

The features we've used are somewhat limited at the moment. We've been doing a lot of basic reports. We automate daily reporting tasks. 

A lot of our back-office business is driven around emails right now, and there's no automation whatsoever around any of that at the moment. That's where we're really looking to go.

The biggest struggle that we've had is understanding how to get in and properly set up all the architecture and orchestrate everything correctly from the get-go rather than trial and error and then fixing it as we go.

I have been using UiPath for a year. 

I haven't had any issues with stability. 

We have a very small team at the moment, so we're still trying to scale up.

Scalability is open to interpretation because it depends on how your environment is set up. 

Personally, we have to deploy a lot of our stuff on our own servers, behind our own firewall. It's left up to us to maintain the scalability, whereas other firms may be able to use more of the cloud robots and not have to worry about it as much. 

Scalability has been a little bit of an issue, but it's our own issue, not really UiPath's issue.

The customer service and support are very responsive and helpful. We have run into a few issues where they haven't been able to give us a definitive solution.

For example, one of the biggest issues we've had is that we have a lot of integration issues with our Outlook. I don't know if it's how we set it up or issues with UiPath activities, but we've been struggling there and going back and forth with support.

Positive

We use Microsoft Power Automate a little bit. Power Automate has a little bit of orchestration. UiPath is definitely a lot more sophisticated. That's definitely a big advantage at the moment.

Our use case for Power Automate has been very limited at the moment. Mainly, we've been targeting areas where we struggled with UiPath and using Power Automate, mostly in the Microsoft integrations where that works seamlessly out of the box. In contrast, we've run into some hurdles around certain Outlook and Teams-type activities with UiPath.

We're using Cloud Orchestrators so the setup was pretty straightforward. We have its cloud Orchestration by all of our robots running on-prem servers.

There were two people involved in the deployment process. 

Initially, nobody bought in on the idea of automation so we started building small tasks that we could show to people. It was mostly attended automation on desktops to let the users see how the program works and get comfortable with it. 

We started building a bunch of little automations that aren't huge time savers but demonstrate how UiPath can work for people. That was the implementation approach we took.  

Now we've got some buy-in. People understand who we're starting to reevaluate, try and scale the program, and do it the right way this time.

We have seen a return on investment. We're mostly calculating the time saved at the moment. Now we're starting to get a little more into the cost-benefit analysis of things because we have a a program running. 

For this first year, our biggest metric has been showing upper management the time saved so that we can calculate the number of employees that we need.

The pricing is justified at the moment. It's definitely significantly more expensive than other competitors out there, but at the moment, its technology is good enough to where UiPath can justify it. It'll be interesting to see in the years to come, once Microsoft starts competing more, what the pricing ends up looking like.  

UiPath is definitely the leader right now. I would rate it a nine out of ten.

If you have the resources, try UiPath. Get some consulting to set everything up properly from the get-go, so you don't have to go back and redo it the way that we've done. 

No matter what approach you take, you're going to see some benefit from using it.

Our primary use case is more of a reactive ad hoc use case to solve business problems on the fly. We can build automations to update thousands of records. 

We're putting a little bit more money and resources into it, and we're starting to go down more of the unattended automation path to actually do more end-to-end processes. 

The use of AI has freed up time and resources for other tasks in our company. We are a little bit more of an ad hoc approach right now. I just finished up a new cross-set of processes about two weeks ago that allowed us to onboard a client. I wouldn't have been able to without this automation. It would have taken a couple of months of several people's time to get them to get all this work done in the back end. 

It is helping. It provides value where we wouldn't be able to do certain things without it.

The broad functionality is the most valuable feature because it can interact with many different factors, and there are several ways to solve a problem. 

There's not just one cookie-cutter way to achieve what you need to achieve. You can get there in various different ways. That's a key aspect for me.

From the UiPath product perspective, this might be a problem because we're on-prem, but they add new functionalities pretty rapidly. It feels like there are releases constantly, and I don't want to update it too often. 

I feel like I'm behind even though I might not be. Sometimes, we'll go a year without doing any major upgrade to Studio or Orchestrate or anything. 

That's more of a personal problem, but that's because there are frequent updates to understand.

We started using UiPath about three years ago. We're a small company, an 80-employee bank, in Denver, Colorado. 

We're smaller than a typical RPA client. Our development is probably underutilized compared to larger institutions. Still, we thought it was important to get in the game early and start establishing the foundation of an RPA environment.

The stability is good. We have run into some issues that they believe are more related to their environment than to the application itself.

We're in the process right now of scaling. It is a scalable solution.

The customer service and support have been amazing. It is honestly the best product support. 

I have no complaints about the support. I don't even get worried when I have a situation. I might need to open a case. I like partnering with them. It's a good experience.

The initial setup was difficult because I didn't have a lot of past experience setting up a new program. This was a whole new program for us. Not only was it installing things, but it was also wrapping your head around how to set up properly so that we can get out of this.

It was a little challenging, especially with the on-prem solution and working in Citrix, to make sure these different servers were talking to each other properly, but overall, it was not too bad.

We're on-prem right now, so we're not even in the automation cloud. We're looking into that in probably the next year. The UiPath platform has been great for getting to understand those products a little better.

I see a return on investment. Even with underdeveloped automation, we definitely have a good ROI. 

If people don't understand the benefits, they might think it's a bit pricey, but for me, it's very cost-effective.

We looked at Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism. It was three years ago.

I work in banking. We are highly regulated in our server infrastructure, so we decided to do a VDI environment that works in Citrix. 

At the time, UiPath seemed like the best product to work with Citrix which was a large reason why we chose UiPath. 

We wanted to make sure we were getting something that was going to play nicely with our environment. It has proven to be true to this day. 

We feel like we chose the right vendor.

Overall, I want to give it a ten out of ten. I have to give it an honest nine just because I haven't used other RPA solutions. But I love UiPath.

If you're going to go in, go all in. We didn't go all in at the beginning, and we should have. We're playing a little bit of catch-up because of that. My advice would be to go all in and be organized with your approach.

We use UiPath in the telecommunications and banking sectors to automate various processes, including IT, HR, and financial receipt processing.

We began using UiPath to automate repetitive and rule-based tasks, such as extracting data from documents, inserting data into applications, and sending reports to end users using databases.

UiPath helps implement end-to-end automation by extracting information from documents using the OCR engine and automating procedures by integrating with Salesforce, SAP, and other systems.

The UiPath User Community is extremely helpful.

UiPath has helped to minimize our on-premises footprint.

UiPath Academy courses benefit our developers by providing them with certifications and badges that help them improve their UiPath skills.

We are currently testing the AI and machine learning capabilities of UiPath to make it easier to automate more complex processes.

UiPath has helped reduce the cost of our digital transformation and the number of human errors.

UiPath has helped free up staff time to focus on more valuable work by automating repetitive tasks.

UiPath has multiple valuable features, including stability, automation, and integration with different applications. In addition, the OCR in Document Understanding and the integration with the chatbot are also good.

The data extraction has room for improvement.

AI and machine learning always have room for improvement.

I have been using UiPath for five years.

UiPath is stable.

The technical support is good.

Positive

Compared to other automation tools, UiPath is expensive.

I would rate UiPath eight out of ten.

Building automation using UiPath is moderately difficult.

I recommend UiPath.

We use the product for contact center, HR, and airport operations. 

The tool's most valuable feature is unattended robots. 

UiPath's process mining needs to improve a lot. The generated reports are difficult to analyze by ordinary people. Task mining reports are also difficult. 

I have been using the solution for four years. 

I rate UiPath's stability an eight out of ten. 

I rate the solution's scalability an eight out of ten. 

The support tickets don't get solved at times. We expect to support people with higher expertise when we open a ticket. However, we get less experienced individuals who waste our time. 

Negative

The solution's deployment was straightforward. 

Our partner helped us with the implementation. 

UiPath is too expensive. 

I have evaluated Power Automate and Automation Anywhere. The main differences include easy implementation and development. 

The business objective that we tried to achieve with automation was enhanced productivity. 

UiPath has fundamentally changed our organization's reporting and task-mining processes. 

We use UiPath AI Center. 

I rate the product an eight out of ten. 

We use UiPath to automate business processes. 

The tool's most valuable features are document processing and AI Center. 

I want a dashboard on pending and ongoing automation in Orchestrator. Currently, we have to check folder by folder to see them. 

I have been using the solution for two years. 

UiPath is a stable product. 

The solution is scalable. 

The tool's tech support team is helpful. They will jump on a call immediately in case anything goes wrong. 

Positive

UiPath's pricing is expensive but reasonable for the quality of service that it provides. 

We have saved more than 1000 hours with automation. We have around 100 automation. We save a lot of hours. 

I rate the product a nine out of ten. I recommend it to my friends and clients. 

We generally use UiPath for invoice processing, finance-related processes, and other similar processes in the oil and gas industry, including government and child welfare use cases.

My organization also used UiPath to automate processes for a good cause, particularly for a US organization that was into child welfare and adoption, so that was one of the use cases: automation for a child adoption and child welfare organization.

To me, the most valuable feature of UiPath is document understanding.

AI is also a valuable feature, as that is the current trend, so it's one of the most essential features of UiPath.

I found it very easy to build automation through the solution, as it has a drag-and-drop interface. If you know the flow and understand the basics, you can easily build automation in UiPath. In simple terms, the solution has a low code interface.

My organization saw many positive outcomes from UiPath automation, mainly when it was applied to an organization in the US focused on child welfare and adoption.

The solution also enabled my organization to implement end-to-end automation. That is important because I would always prefer some end-to-end automation wherever possible, even with a bit of human touch in the loop. I find solutions that enable end-to-end automation, such as UiPath, great.

I found the UiPath user community valuable. I'm a very active member of that community, and one of the good things about it is that it's active and full of people helping each other learn and grow, even when people don't know each other. I learned a lot from the community to be who I am today.

My organization worked with one client with an on-prem environment, and UiPath still has a good platform for an on-premises setup. It's called the Automation Suite, particularly the latest version.

My team, including myself, took courses from the UiPath Academy, and I recommend the academy to anyone interested in learning RPA and understanding the basics of UiPath. Even for someone who needs some refresher or retraining, I would recommend UiPath Academy, as I find it one of the best places to learn.

My organization used several UiPath AI functionalities for automation, including document understanding, language understanding, and even generative AI, which has significantly helped.

I also like that the AI functionality of UiPath enabled my organization to automate more processes overall.

The solution helped speed up digital transformation, mainly because manual processes take up much time. Still, with UiPath, time and costs were drastically reduced, so I find the solution beneficial. It has also reduced human error in the organizations in which it was implemented and even freed up employee time. The amount of time freed up would depend on the use cases, but the time saved would be significant for a company with a lot of automation. UiPath also helps save costs, but it depends, so it would be difficult to determine a number or percentage.

What could be improved in UiPath is the release or update because my organization noticed that a few minor bugs occur from time to time, mainly on the development side. That is not a showstopper, but if the UiPath team could inform my organization ahead of time, that would reduce the need for developers to find a workaround for the bugs. UiPath releases need to be improved.

I started using UiPath in 2019. I'm still using it.

Stability in UiPath is good, but this relates to the little bugs that my organization noticed in the community edition of the solution, not the enterprise version. Other than the minor bugs, stability-wise, UiPath is good.

UiPath is a very scalable solution.

My experience with the UiPath support team is very good. The team was very helpful and supportive. The support team is an eight on a scale of one to ten.

Positive

Before UiPath, I used Microsoft Power Automate and Blue Prism. Still, UiPath is more advanced when compared to the two tools, plus UiPath has a much broader scope, with over twenty products addressing different stages of the project lifecycle.

The AI or RPA and automation capabilities offered by UiPath are also quite good versus what Blue Prism and Microsoft Power Automate offer. UiPath is one of the leading tools in the market.

Deploying UiPath in the cloud is easy because it only requires some configuration before use.

For on-premises deployment, you need to install specific applications to get the solution to work. Still, with the UiPath support team, you can easily do the on-premises deployment, so deployment isn't a big issue.

The pricing for UiPath is OK, but it's a bit on the higher side, as the target audience is a bit different.

UiPath is deployed differently for clients. Some have an on-premises deployment, while some deploy it on the cloud.

You don't need many people to deploy the solution because if you have the infrastructure, such as the database and the server, ready, one person who understands the infrastructure would be able to do it.

My rating for UiPath overall is a nine out of ten.

My organization is a partner of UiPath.

We use UiPath for invoice processing and PDF extraction.

Building automation using UiPath is extremely easy. Everything required is available online.

UiPath enables us to implement end-to-end automation, which is the most important aspect for us.

The UiPath User Community is strong.

UiPath has helped us to minimize our on-premises footprint. We are using an on-premises orchestrator and working in the financial services industry, where we have to process 30,000 invoices per day. This would normally require a lot of manpower, but with UiPath, we are able to do it with only five bots.

We use the UiPath Academy courses and my team recently received the AI certification.

We use the AI functionality in UiPath to help automate more processes overall. 

UiPath helps speed up our digital transformation.

It has helped reduce human error a lot.

UiPath has helped free up our staff time by automating the manual work and saving our resources. 

The Orchestrator feature is the most valuable of all the automation solutions I have used, including OpenBots, Robocorp, and Microsoft Power Automate. It is essential for managing all of the processes in UiPath.

The UiPath Academy Orchestrator training needs to be updated to reflect the recent changes.

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

UiPath is stable.

UiPath is scalable.

The price for UiPath is on the higher end.

I would rate UiPath ten out of ten. I have used five other automation solutions and UiPath is the best.

No maintenance is required.

The development, scalability, and reliability of UiPath are the best, and I recommend the solution 100 percent.
