Customizable with good visualizations but needs a better UI
Pros and Cons
  • "It's very useful in turning raw data into actionable information."
  • "It can be difficult to handle the first project until you understand the product a bit better."

What is our primary use case?

The solution is primarily used in a few pilot projects. I don't have too much production experience just yet.

What is most valuable?

I like how they handle process work. It's amazing. It's very customizable, and you can visualize different items. 

It's very useful in turning raw data into actionable information.

I was surprised at how many possibilities the solution had in terms of removing bottlenecks from various processes. It can help you with a lot of things. 

The solution integrates well with other features. You can create simple RPA bots based on your process filing or task filing.

It's very comfortable to work with in terms of dealing with big data. You can easily visualize it by building charts, graphs, or tables. You can add fields for your data and feed into it. The product makes it easy to quickly modify, transform, and visualize your data. 

The solution can possibly help free up employee time. You can easily decide which processes can be simplified and create a bot to handle the work. It helps create automation opportunities. It can free employees from repetitive work. They can then do something more intellectual and valuable. 

What needs improvement?

Process planning to utilize for streamlining processes is difficult.

The solution has its own language to process the data, so it can be difficult for people to start using it quickly. It can be difficult to handle the first project until you understand the product a bit better. 

Data manipulation could be improved. It can be very hard to manipulate or work with data sometimes, especially at first, when you are not familiar with the solution. It can be hard to learn the solution. 

UiPath could provide more AI and machine learning tools to analyze processes. 

They could also improve the UI experience. For example, how graphs and charts look and how they can be placed in the dashboard. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for almost a year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product is pretty stable. I'd rate stability seven out of ten. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. I'd rate the scalability seven out of ten. I'd rate it higher, however, there are some limitations to scaling projects and uploading data. 

How are customer service and support?

I've never used technical support services. 

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

I did not previously use a different tool.

How was the initial setup?

I was a part of the initial implementation. The setup was straightforward.

Maintenance depends on the model of delivery. It can be done without involving developers, or it can be done with support.

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

I don't directly deal with pricing. 

What other advice do I have?

I'm not sure of the overall transparency offered by process planning in our end-to-end processes and I don't have much experience with the solution. 

The time to value depends on the process and the people who work with it. If you can understand the process, and pick things up quickly, or have a good analyst to analyze the process, the time to value is quick.

Automation is cost-effective. When you compare numbers before and after, you'll be able to see the difference automation can make. 

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

I'd advise users to learn the solution. UiPath has a great Academy for studying the solution. It's important to do some online courses and learn the ropes. Start a project and try it out in real life.

A stable process mining solution that allows you to visualize the whole process
Pros and Cons
  • "When it comes to valuable features, I think the first one will be the way we can visualize the whole process."
  • "The connection to other systems could be better."

What is our primary use case?

We're using ProcessGold on the UiPath to review one of the financial processes from accounts payable for all Latin American transactions in our shared services center.

What is most valuable?

When it comes to valuable features, I think the first one will be the way we can visualize the whole process. The other one is the automation percentage that gives us an idea or an opportunity to figure out what to do next.

What needs improvement?

The connection to other systems could be better. I don't think it's an issue right now, but I think it could be better. I would also like the connection between ProcessGold and the RPA's interface to be more transparent.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

UiPath Process Mining is a stable solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

UiPath Process Mining is a scalable product.

How are customer service and technical support?

Technical support is very good. The team responds to us very quickly.

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

We used Celonis, but it was a pain to develop that solution. We chose UiPath because there was a pilot program to compare it with Celonis. It wasn't as expensive as Celonis, so we used the pilot to confirm the functionality and deployment time. Celonis took about six months to connect with SAP. With UiPath, it took about two weeks.

How was the initial setup?

It was easy from an SAP perspective, but we needed to use more things on the server to connect it to ProcessGold. Some native connectors would have probably made it easier. It took us about two months to deploy the full solution. It was very fast.

What about the implementation team?

We deal with UiPath directly, but I believe that UiPath used consultants from another firm to help us.

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

We pay yearly, and I believe a support fee is paid monthly.

What other advice do I have?

On a scale from one to ten, I would give UiPath Process Mining a ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Valuable features include root cause analysis and identifying bottlenecks to improve workflows
Pros and Cons
  • "The core mining analysis is strong."
  • "Installation using the cloud solution is a seamless integration with virtually no installation time involved."
  • "The product could be better integrated with simulations."

What is our primary use case?

We are using Process Mining to identify processes to be automated. We are also using the product as part of our hyper-automation strategy. Right now we have been able to identify a lot of automation opportunities within the company based on the data that we are collecting from different system processes.  

What is most valuable?

My shortlist of valuable features includes all the different types of analysis. For example, you can do a root cause analysis. In other words, if you have a process that has many different scenarios, you can identify where the problem is. You can also identify bottlenecks with root cause analysis. You do this by looking at the time that has been spent in specific stages or steps within the processes being performed. So the benefit is identifying the root cause by identifying the time that it takes to release that specific bottleneck. You can then look for ways to remedy the bottleneck.  

To exemplify how this works, let's say you have a process that in the regular SLA (Service Level Agreement) takes two days for response time. The process is getting stuck in one step consistently and just that step is taking a day-and-a-half. The rest of your process is only half of a day, but just because there is a problem in one step, you are taking two days to complete the response. Now that the critical step is identified, you can look at taking measures to ease that pain point.  

Another great feature is the ability to see processes at a higher level and take in the whole picture. If a process has too many variances — say there are 20 different ways of doing the task — you can identify which process is the one where that happens more often. This will prompt you to focus on that process for any possible ways to automate it and simplify the complexity.  

What needs improvement?

One of the main pain points that I identified with the tool is the simulation. What I am looking for is a tool that is able to help us simulate scenarios. In practice, we pose scenarios to determine what happens if we change the value of a specific step in the process. A good simulation module would help you answer the question as to how well making that change will go. Process Mining is more of a pure process mining tool, but I think adding simulation capabilities will increase the value of the solution exponentially. Adding simulation capabilities would allow us to do some additional forecasting as well. I think my suggestion — considering the product category — is doing more to support integration with that type of simulation capability even if it is not directly in the product.  

A second pain point has to do with a deeper exploration of what you have mined. If there were an option to export to UiPath Orchestrator or the UiPath Studio functionality you can then further explore and utilize whatever you have mined. The export would make the process into some usable components that could be mined or used in other ways. I think that will be a great help and addition to the product. It would mostly be useful for development purposes.  

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using the Process Mining (it used to be Process Gold) for about four months now.  

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I am actually impressed with the stability of the product to this point in time. We have not experienced any issues with lagging or processing problems.  

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Process Mining is definitely scalable. We have been able to add some other business departments to work with the product so they can start looking into the efficiency of their processes as well.  

The other thing that affects scalability is tenancy. With the on-premises solution, they were offering a multi-tenancy option, where then you can partition everything. On the cloud, it is a little bit different because everyone just gets a tenant in the beginning. Both are scalable, it is just handling the scalability differently.  

For now, the group of people using the product is more centralized. Use is limited to a few people within the Center of Excellence because we are the ones currently making all of the process analysis. We are making decisions based on the data we mine. It is not yet enabled for use by everyone at the organization. So, for now, less than 10 people have access to it. There is no reason to believe that this usage will not be easy to scale.   

Of those 10 people, just two or three are required to be involved with deploying the updates and maintaining the solution.  

How are customer service and technical support?

I have not yet had to use technical support for Process Mining. I have used the tech support for other UiPath tools in the past with other technologies such as Orchestrator and Studio, and I have experienced a very good response from the tech support team. They act pretty quickly on anything that we ask them for and most of the time their analysis and their recommendations are very accurate. I assume that the tech support experience for Process Mining will be similar as it is within the same company.  

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is pretty straightforward because it is on the cloud. I am not really sure how difficult it is to install on-premises, but in the cloud, it is very simple.  

The way that we started here is by getting a trial version of Process Mining. With that, we got to play around with the tool and we got to see whatever we needed to see to make our decision about using the product. When we decided, UiPath just converted the license into an enterprise license and that was the extent of the difficulty of 'installation.' It was really a seamless integration that virtually required no installation time or configuration.   

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

We are currently working on an ELA (Enterprise Licensing Agreement), but usually, the pricing of Process Mining is based on an annual subscription.  

The cost per year depends on the users and what the clients are able to negotiate with their salesperson. The use case factors into the cost in the end.  

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We did not actually evaluate other options before choosing UiPath Process Mining, but we did a broader assessment and analysis of multiple tools. The main drivers of our assessment were the integration with RPA (Robotic Process Automation) and road mapping the product and additional features that the particular product offered. We wanted to integrate the solution well with the RPA and we needed to know what the immediate capabilities of the product were. Of course, the cost played into this as well, but the cost is a consideration when you are effectively comparing a breakdown of functionality. Some features may be worth more to you than others.   

What other advice do I have?

One of the things that I will suggest for people looking into this type of solution is to also look into task mining. That is another complementary feature within process mining that is going to allow users to see all their processes from a more detailed perspective based on individual tasks within the processes.  

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst, and ten is the best, I would rate UiPath Process Mining as a nine-out-of-ten. The capabilities are strong and the product performs at a high level.

Provides AI center for document understanding
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature is the AI center for document understanding."
  • "The product could diversify into creating apps."

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the AI center for document understanding.

What needs improvement?

The product could diversify into creating apps. For example, if you look at Power Automate, it's not just RPA. They also have applications. You can do low-code applications. They could add something that can help develop very small mobile and web applications, which is where the industry is going. So maybe UiPath can also follow suit.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for about four years. We are an SI company, and we deploy UiPath for some of our clients.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It's very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's scalable depending on how you deploy it. For UiPath Cloud, scalability is not an issue.

How are customer service and support?

We have a very good relationship with technical support. As a company, I belong to HCL, so we have a very good relationship with UiPath. Our experience with UiPath has always been very good.

What was our ROI?

The ROI is around 30% to 40%.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate this solution 9 out of 10. 

My advice is to try the new citizen developer. UiPath has also come up with a citizen developer suite. I'd recommend that. UiPath also has a test suite. We are experimenting with that now, but those are my two recommendations.

The product is very good, very stable, very scalable, and secure. The only reason I wouldn't give it a 10 is because most of the other products are going the low-code, no-code way for applications.

Provides us with nearly complete control and reduces user time
Pros and Cons
  • "We find the solution to be really easy not just for development purposes, but also for its use and ability to be understood."
  • "The remote desktop we utilize suffers from inconsistent performance, sometimes functioning well and other times not."

What is our primary use case?

We find the solution to be really easy not just for development purposes, but also for its use and ability to be understood. We can use it to reduce user time. 

What is most valuable?

UiPath Process Mining allows us to have almost complete control. This is because we have many keys carrying out activities, us working in a very important organization.

What needs improvement?

In the current COVID-plagued environments, we built many bots, which was a plus, in place of requiring people to be physically present in the organization.

We use UiPath Mining Review in multiple forums. At the day's outset, we upload economic information and make much use of the financial reports at day's end. This used to be done manually, but the solution now allows us to do so automatically. As such, we focus our attention on many areas. 

This said, the remote desktop we utilize suffers from inconsistent performance, sometimes functioning well and other times not. 

There should also be adapters for enabling more control of the remote desktop. The solution should include some adapters for numeric use, as well as a remote tester. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I started using UiPath in the organization around two-and-a-half years ago. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is really good.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We do have plans to increase the solution's usage. I started with its use in the organization. In the beginning there were two of us, following the exit of another person. Towards the end of 2020 I had help, as I was teaching others how to assist me with the solution's use. We do not need many people to carry out the work.

We are hiring step-by-step. For the moment, there are two or three others who assist me, but not at a high level. This is being done gradually and they are being allocated time to analyze the results of the solution. 

How are customer service and technical support?

Technical support is really great. We had various issues, including those involving other processes and problematic compatibility, when we updated in January to the version I mentioned. 

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

We did not previously utilize a different solution. 

How was the initial setup?

We deploy both on-premises and through hybrid cloud, with Amazon AWS.

The installation process involved several steps, the first one involving the need for digital information to our desktop applications.

The deployment is not difficult and can vary in time. averaging around two weeks, especially when we have the documentation. 

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

Licensing costs are on an annual basis. 

In addition to the standard licensing costs we incur fees with a vendor here in Guatemala. I am referring to the service provider license and it is in respects of us being a public organization. 

What other advice do I have?

I started using the solution from the inception of my organization and make use of it solely.

I am solely responsible for all deployment, maintenance and ancillary matters concerning UiPath.

I recommend the use of UiPath Process Mining. As UiPath is really easy to understand and control, it is wonderful. It is really comfortable for development purposes.

I rate UiPath Process Mining as a ten, since I feel pretty great working with it. 

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?

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Good AI dependencies, good support, and easy setup
Pros and Cons
  • "Its Artificial Intelligence dependencies are valuable."
  • "There should be better handling of errors or exceptions."

What is our primary use case?

We use it for getting reports and uploading them to other environments.

What is most valuable?

Its Artificial Intelligence dependencies are valuable.

What needs improvement?

There should be better handling of errors or exceptions.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is scalable. We have eight people who are using this solution.

How are customer service and support?

We have a technical account manager. We write to him, and he immediately gets back to us. Their support is quite good.

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

I didn't previously use a different solution.

How was the initial setup?

Its setup is easy. You double-click the installer and just click next, next, next. Its implementation took two weeks.

What about the implementation team?

I did it myself.

What other advice do I have?

I would advise checking out academy.uipath.com. There are lots of videos for educational purposes. You can watch them if you want.

I would rate it an eight out of 10. It is a good product for me.

You can identify individual tasks that are potentially consuming time within each process
Pros and Cons
  • "With Salesforce, you can identify individual tasks that are potentially consuming time within each process. You can see what process you want to automate and which task within a process will give you the most bang for your buck."
  • "Setting up UiPath is relatively complex. It potentially involves multiple business units. First, you need to set up the connectors. If you want to analyze enterprise performance, you will have to do enterprise connectors, which means you must deal with different system owners, security, and things like that. That can get complicated."

What is our primary use case?

We use it to identify and map out processes in our system then identify areas that would be good candidates for automation. You can use it to analyze your entire enterprise, including ERP, CRM, etc. It's not limited to a single workstation.

What is most valuable?

With Salesforce, you can identify individual tasks that are potentially consuming time within each process. You can see what process you want to automate and which task within a process will give you the most bang for your buck.

You can compare performance over time and see if your changes push a bottleneck downstream or what kind of results you're getting with it. Otherwise, you can use it to measure the performance increases you can introduce.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using UiPath for about a year. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

UiPath's stability is excellent. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

UiPath is scalable, and it can work offline. You can build the collection separate from the process mining instance and then feed it as a series of files, log files, etc. In addition, you can limit its impact to a specific sandbox, so it can work in a secure environment that way. 

UiPath can be used as a standalone tool, or with the UiPath automation hub, it can produce documentation and even scale out by integrating with other solutions. 

How was the initial setup?

Setting up UiPath is relatively complex. It potentially involves multiple business units. First, you need to set up the connectors. If you want to analyze enterprise performance, you will have to do enterprise connectors, which means you must deal with different system owners, security, and things like that. That can get complicated. 

After installation, one person could certainly maintain it, but it would depend on how many different things you're monitoring, 

What was our ROI?

If you're in a situation where UiPath will be helpful to you, then you're going to get an amazing return.

What other advice do I have?

I rate UiPath 10 out of 10. It's as good or better than anything else out there I'm aware of. If you plan to implement it, I advise you to work with an experienced partner. It takes a specialized skillset with a combination of business and technical know-how to set UiPath up and to get the most out of it, you want to work with someone who knows.
