UiPath Platform Reviews

I have been working as a UiPath RPA developer for two years and three months. Using UiPath, I have provided more than 20 solutions over six different projects. UiPath was one of the leading RPA tools and it will be easier to develop when compared to other RPA tools.

UiPath has done a huge impact for our customers by replacing the linear jobs with robots. Tasks done by robots were fast and highly efficient.

Invoking VB.NET/C# code is one of the major features over other RPA tools. And recently, UiPath has implemented Citrix native automation for virtual machine automation which is an exceptionally great feature.

So far, UiPath has been good in every area. I would like to get more features in ML-related activities. ML will be the future for processing free text. Like for example , while processing free text from the customer comments, using uipath we cant extract the required data from the free text. Incase if you got ML related activities then it will be easier to provide the solution using UiPath

We use it for price quotes on the internet, looking for the best cost benefits for our customers after researching our thefts, creating a table and sending the data by email to the customer.

With the creation of the project mentioned above, we were able to reduce the cost of our client to acquire materials, besides the agility of being able to do everything very fast.

Web scrapping for us is the best tool so far, as well as data scraping. We have obtained many good results, and in the near future with these databases, we have the intention to move towards some possible interaction with big data.

Unfortunately, the work with PDFs that contain an image still has very bad recognition and needs to be studied for a way to improve this function which is very important for anyone who works with files of that format.

We use UiPath internally to automate the repetitive processes of our company. We use the tool for the generation of reports and automatic sending of emails, as well as automation of registrations and the likes.

UiPath has made it possible to reduce the time spent on these repetitive tasks because robots can keep working indefinitely, with a very low error rate and a very low maintenance cost compared to the financial return.

Certainly, the integrations with Windows and Google OCR, PDF, Excel, Outlook and SAP are the most valuable within our area of performance.

I believe that a better explanation of ReFramework and license costs would be something to rethink. 

UiPath is used as an RPA platform to automate the engineering-based repetitive and rule-based tasks in my company. UiPath has proved itself to be a very user-friendly and easy-to-adapt kind of software which does not require any core knowledge or coding background to start with.

UiPath has helped us improve our efficiency, and the quality of our deliverables has increased by many folds. It has also helped us to set up an automation environment which helps us in speedy and accurate delivery well before the deadline.

Pictorial workflow representation is in itself a standout feature of UiPath. Features like screen scraping, data scrapping, Citrix related automation features, mail sending activities, inbuilt recovery mechanism (REF) are really useful.

The features of Citrix related activities could be greatly improvised. The version compatibility or stability issues could be fixed in the coming releases.

Automation of high volume, repetitive processes. Both desktop and VDI/Citrix environments. We are going to implement it in the WFM team to reduce their workload and let them concentrate on more complex tasks.

UiPath is a great tool to quickly demonstrate the benefits of automation. It is fast to learn and implement. Therefore, it is easy to gain quick wins in time savings and reduction of human error rates.

If you are looking to automate VDIs, then UiPath delivers you a powerful tool to do so. Even better is that they are constantly making progress in that field and have some features coming up in the future that no other solution can deliver.

Also, UiPath gives you free access to their online learning academy which is really great if you are new to RPA and want to have a quick start in that field.

There should be some more activities that can replace others where coding is required. You can build a solution without coding knowledge, but I would recommend at least some prior knowledge of the .NET Framework.

Account opening and order placing for insurance application with web and Windows application and mailing report.

It reduces manual effort mostly and has quick automation implementation. Even automation resource is also reduced.

Data scraping is the method of fetching data from web applications intelligently; it identifies web table lists and others.

It cannot withstand in a situation like overloaded processes execution not up to the mark.

The use cases we have focused on are:

• A high privileged account in Azure cloud
• NSG-ACL checks in Azure cloud
• Certificate renewal process
• Daily management reports.

UiPath has helped to solve our problems by automating all the process listed in the use cases in a short timeframe with the help of UiPath Studio. The major roadblock we faced was at the time of installation on Azure PaaS, and it was resolved by many twists and twigs of conditions based on the experience solutions enabler.

Features like:

• The optical character recognition is excellent; I have personally tested this product.
• Credential management is also one of the best. 
• Stability and UI responsiveness is good.

Improvements from product portfolio could be a product installation in an automated fashion, and support availability should be quick.

With automation, you can create daily reconciliation reports with no errors (UiPath helps to retrieve the report from SAP, mainframes, web sites, etc., and VBA macros help to create reports very quickly — very useful for back office works).

UiPath is about taking the robot out of humans so that humans can work on complex tasks.

• Fast coding: completes the project very quickly
• Easy to understand UiPath Studio and its components
• All components are separate like UiPath Studio, Orchestrator, UiExplorer for creating complex selectors.
• Easy to integrate a third-party library
• UiPath has a community forum, and any member can provide solutions. The advantage of this is you will get a solution in much less time.

Only one cons I have seen so far as No Login Authentication: Whenever we are opening UiPath studio, it is not asking for any login credentials. Disadvantage is any one can open the studio and update the code/ change the code.
