Valuable company information overview, easy to use, and has useful dashboards
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution counts the number of cross-sections at each step of the year which allows you to see all the data to figure out what is happening in the company. You do not need to manually collect data, it continuously updates the data. Overall the solution is easy to use and has dashboards."
  • "The dashboard could be improved by allowing customization and they could introduce a Mac version of the solution."

What is our primary use case?

We are using this solution to gather our data for business improvements and to automate tasks.

What is most valuable?

The solution counts the number of cross-sections at each step of the year which allows you to see all the data to figure out what is happening in the company. You do not need to manually collect data, it continuously updates the data. Overall the solution is easy to use and has dashboards.

What needs improvement?

The dashboard could be improved by allowing customization and they could introduce a Mac version of the solution.

In a future release, they could provide more API integration, for example, with Oracle API.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for approximately six months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

In my experience, the solution is 99% stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I have approximately five people using this solution in my organization.

How are customer service and support?

I did not have any issues with the need to contact technical support.

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

I have previously used Automation Anywhere and switch to this solution because it is better.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is complicated.

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

The price of the solution could be lower. However, Automation Anywhere is approximately $8,000, and when comparing these solutions, UiPath Process Mining is less expensive. The license for the solution is purchased annually.

What other advice do I have?

I would advise others that want to implement this solution to train their staff well in the usage of this solution. They will require more than a 10-minute training session. It is important for them to understand that this solution is for gathering data and they will require additional consultancy to create robotic processes. Automation machines themself cannot create automatic processes. Humans have to assess the process, understand the bottlenecks, and create a better one with more value-adding activities. Many people think that they have the system and everything should be done by robots now, it is not how it works.

I rate UiPath Process Mining a nine out of ten.

Identifies and automates repetitive tasks in an effort to eliminate human error
Pros and Cons
  • "I think once you start using it, it's absolutely vital on a project. It's truly one of the most helpful things for a project."
  • "I used to be a trainer and an instructional designer. I think the training has to be more specific — it's a little scattered."

What needs improvement?

I don't think Process Mining has any areas for improvement. I think once you start using it, it's absolutely vital for a project. It's truly one of the most helpful things for a project.

It should be an original part of the package and not just an add-on. Obviously, that makes it more expensive. But I think that once people see the value and they use it, it's so important for everybody. The BAs are really impressed and the developers really get a kick out of it — they love it. It makes it easier to sell. I believe it's even more valuable than Automation Hub.

I used to be a trainer and an instructional designer. I think the training has to be more specific — it's a little scattered.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for two months.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We've never experienced any issues with either scalability or stability. My team never had trouble with it.

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer support is excellent. My CSMs are phenomenal.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is quite straightforward. Deployment takes one day. Once you have Orchestrator, it's not hard.

What was our ROI?

Our customers are extremely satisfied with their ROI with this solution.

What other advice do I have?

You really have to know the product and know how it works with the initial studio and who you want to talk to at what level to make sure that you can sell the product.

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of nine.

What is most valuable?

What I find good in UiPath Process Mining is that it integrates well with SAP.

What needs improvement?

An area for improvement in UiPath Process Mining is that its pricing is too expensive, particularly when compared to Power Automate.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been selling UiPath Process Mining for a year or so.

Excellent platform to work with, responsive technical support, and scalable with any applications
Pros and Cons
  • "UiPath Process Mining is definitely stable."
  • "I think they need to look at pricing. Now in the market, there are other process mining applications that are far cheaper."

What is our primary use case?

We work with many SAP-based clients, ninety percent of the time. Any P2P process, or purchase payment process which takes or consumes a lot of time, you can put through UiPath Process Mining to understand where the bottlenecks are. Any of the applications will serve as a good use case to understand where the bottlenecks of the application are.

What is most valuable?

UiPath Process Mining platform works very well with process mining. Process mining connects to SAP, and other applications, giving you the output desired. You need other applications to support what you have found out.

What needs improvement?

I think they need to look at pricing. Since acquiring Process Gold it was stable on process mining. But now in the market, there are other process mining applications that are far cheaper. I think subsequent versions should focus on reducing the price.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using UiPath Process Mining for the last year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

UiPath Process Mining is definitely stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Ui Path Process Mining is scalable, once you have Process Mining, you can tie it up, or stitch it with any applications that you have in your company.

How are customer service and support?

They have always been supportive and given us the assistance we need.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

If it has to be done at an enterprise level, I think it would be slightly complex. But with the trial and the learning part of it is very easy.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We are UiPath partners, so it was straight out of the box. We did not explore anything else. But we have consultants who have worked on Celonis. And most recently, we have consultants who are working with SAP Signavio, which is also a process mining tool.

What other advice do I have?

Explore and do not look only from a technical side, but also have sufficient functional consultants who know the application and the processes in and out, to support the deployment. Together, they can deliver the final output. Otherwise, if you are too dependent on just the technical people, I do not think process mining will succeed in the company. I would rate UiPath Process Mining an eight out of ten.

Resilient and time-saving solution with good ROI
Pros and Cons
  • "UiPath Process Mining's most valuable feature is its integration with RPA's bots."
  • "The configurations on the ERP platforms could be improved."

What is our primary use case?

I mainly use UiPath Process Mining for our internal financial processes, which need insights into the process workflows. UiPath Process Mining allows us to align our workflow to have a better result rate in terms of the APA processes.

How has it helped my organization?

There were a lot of gaps in our process, and UiPath Process Mining allowed us to find and fill those gaps, so now the process takes less time, and the customer outcome delivery has been improved.

What is most valuable?

UiPath Process Mining's most valuable feature is its integration with RPA's bots.

What needs improvement?

The configurations on the ERP platforms could be improved. In the next release, I would like UiPath Process Mining to include better integration with some of their other offerings, more ERP platforms, and more legacy systems.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using UiPath Process Mining for fourteen to fifteen months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

UiPath Process Mining is pretty stable because it's highly resilient. We've seen little to no downtime in the past four-and-a-half years.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

UiPath Process Mining is scalable - we can get the number of services we need as per our demand.

How are customer service and support?

UiPath's technical support is very good and responsive.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was quite straightforward because we used the SaaS offering, which integrated easily with our internal applications. Deployment took around a month. I would rate the setup experience as four out of five.

What about the implementation team?

We got direct help from the UiPath support team.

What was our ROI?

We haven't yet calculated our ROI, but our projections show we'll be able to reach out to 100-plus users, with savings of approximately more than $1 million over three years.

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

UiPath's licensing is based on how many documents we process using this solution.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated Celonis.

What other advice do I have?

I would advise anyone considering implementing UiPath Process Mining to go for the cloud version instead of the on-prem. On-prem requires a lot in terms of specification and management, and the cost will eventually rise. However, the SaaS model is cost-effective and very easy to maintain and manage because UiPath takes care of infrastructure and so on. I would rate UiPath Process Mining as nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

Good support and stable, but it is not intuitive and easy to work with
Pros and Cons
  • "Their support is really good, and it is a stable product."
  • "It should be more intuitive and easy to work with. There should be more ways of creating filters, and it should be easy to make our own customized dashboards. Currently, if I want to create a dashboard similar to the one we have in AppOne but with different attributes, it is very difficult. There are activities, but I don't want activities. I want other attributes. Its user interface is not very intuitive. You need to play around with it. I have been playing around with the UiPath Process Mining tool for almost two years, and now I feel confident in handling it. It is a difficult tool."

What is our primary use case?

I'm an automation consultant, and I work with UiPath Process Mining and also UiPath Studio.

We are a consulting company, and I and a colleague are creating all the results, and we have to present them to the customer. My colleague is handling all the business conversations, and I'm the technical person creating all the dashboards and making whatever the customer is asking for available. 

What is most valuable?

Their support is really good, and it is a stable product.

What needs improvement?

It lacks certain features. For example, if we have data from one activity that is connected to another activity or number and there is a one-to-one connection, when we want to dig into that, it fails. I had to create another workspace and make heavy changes, which was time-consuming. 

It should be more intuitive and easy to work with. There should be more ways of creating filters, and it should be easy to make our own customized dashboards. Currently, if I want to create a dashboard similar to the one we have in AppOne but with different attributes, it is very difficult. There are activities, but I don't want activities. I want other attributes. Its user interface is not very intuitive. You need to play around with it. I have been playing around with the UiPath Process Mining tool for almost two years, and now I feel confident in handling it. It is a difficult tool.

In addition, if there were dropdown options for picking an activity and dropping it somewhere, it would make the work easy.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for almost two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I am not sure about its scalability because I haven't scaled it. I have not
connected a process to different processes. I just had the data from one process, and I had to do the analysis.

In terms of its users, in my company, there are just two users. I and a colleague of mine are working with UiPath Process Mining. 

How are customer service and support?

I have one contact person whom I contact whenever I have issues. He is supportive, very knowledgeable, and very prompt in answering the questions. I would rate their support a five out of five. 

How was the initial setup?

It was easy. I'm using the AppOne template, which makes it comparatively easy. You just have to map all the basic attributes, and you can have the first look at your data. If the customer or business is asking for further investigation or features, then it gets difficult.

What other advice do I have?

From the development or technical perspective, you should have a basic knowledge of coding. If a customer is asking for some specific features, it becomes a little bit difficult. Therefore, it is always recommended to have sufficient knowledge. With a technical background, you can easily work with UiPath Process Mining. 

I have been working intensively on it, and I like it, but a few small features are missing. I would rate it a seven out of 10.

The ability to automate processes helps us to save time and costs
Pros and Cons
  • "This product is easy-to-use and the interface is simple and user-friendly."
  • "The cost should be improved with variable models to help different types of users afford the product."
  • "Integration with new technologies should be kept up-to-date so they can be adopted as they are released."

What is our primary use case?

We use this product for robotic automation. With it, we are automating certain standard business processes so they do not have to be handled manually. We can build robots to run automated processes to complete these standard tasks that we would normally have to do manually, otherwise, on a periodic basis. So instead of doing these repetitive tasks manually, the robot is doing it instead of us and it takes care of them automatically.  

How has it helped my organization?

The product helps us in many ways. The ability to automate processes helps us to save time. When we save time, we also save costs. So we spend fewer man-hours on certain tasks and enhance productivity. It is a nice tool for us and streamlining workflow.  

What is most valuable?

The parts of the product that are most valuable are that it is easy to deploy and easy to manage. The user interface is simple and user-friendly. Integrations with other products are also very easy. This is why we continue to use the product rather than something else.  

What needs improvement?

Some things could be improved in ProcessGold even though it is already very useful. New integrations sometimes depend on new technologies or new hardware. The compatibility with the various integrations with new technologies should be enhanced so that these can be adopted as they become available.  

It is an expensive solution. It would be good if the company could consider some type of change to the licensing model that could help clients better regulate the costs in different ways.  

Another improvement would be on the development side for test management. It would be nice to be able to create new custom features for testing within that module.  

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability of the product is fine. We are not having too many serious technical problems with deployed robots. It is all working properly.  

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability of ProcessGold is fine. I know of different companies that are using it with anywhere between 10 servers to 2000 servers. I do not think that scalability has any serious restrictions.  

As far as how many users are using the solution and their roles in the company, generally, only admins are using the product. So we have only around six or seven people using the product directly in the company although other people may benefit from the processes that it handles. We need a maximum of only two or three people on staff for deployment and maintenance.  

In the future, we are planning to increase our usage a lot. Right now we have about 25 licenses with 25 robots.  We have plenty of reasons to build new processes and increase the number of licenses to about 50 and double our usage while leveraging the advantage that automation offers. What we actually do ends up depending on the business scenarios. If we see a lot of business enhancement and growth in the market, of course we will continue to expand what we do.  

How are customer service and technical support?

We have not used technical support too much, but when we have needed to use it they helped us with any issues. Their performance has been okay for us. We did not have any problems with them.  

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was okay. It was not very complex. The implementation took around one month total.  

What about the implementation team?

When it came to the implementation, there was a partner who helped me with the integration and deployment.  

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

We pay around $200,000 for licensing the product. We also have additional costs. There is a yearly maintenance fee that is 20% of the license. So that comes to an additional $40,000 a year for the maintenance and support.  

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

This is the first product that we have used for robotic automation. We did check into other options, but from the perspective of the available features and what we felt we needed, this was the best product and the best choice. The ease-of-use allowed us to adopt it quickly.  

What other advice do I have?

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate this as an eight. It is an eight rather than higher because there is always, something to do to make even a very good product better.  

The advice that I have for people considering adopting this product is that it is important to define scenarios in the beginning before starting to build them. It is best to start working with simple scenarios. After they have success with that, they can try things that are more complex. It is tempting to want to just jump in and do complex things right away, but it is important not to rush into complex development when using this kind of tool.

Very simple to implement and use; we can easily write code
Pros and Cons
  • "Simple solution that allows us to write code."
  • "Cost of the solution is high."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case of this solution for our client was for PDF automation which we used to extract data from the PDF, details such as invoice number and invoice structure. We extract all the data and it gets posted to the website. They post all the details inside a tool they use. Before implementation of UiPath this was a manual process which required 50 people all doing the same work 24/7. Once we implemented RPA, it reduced the time factor by around 80%. I'm a consultant and we are partners of UiPath. 

What is most valuable?

UiPath is a top product. We can write code with it and also write a Visual Basic .NET. There are active people in the forum and that's great. We can do everything we want in similar solutions such as Power Automate and Automate Anywhere, but in UiPath it's a lot simpler. It can be a struggle with the other solutions whereas UiPath has already answered all the issues and we can get problems resolved using the forum.

What needs improvement?

Documentation could be improved and the cost of the product is high, even if you're a middle scale industry. You might reject the solution on the grounds of cost. Power Automate Desktop is much cheaper than UiPath and Automation Anywhere is also cheaper. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using this solution for over two years. 

How are customer service and technical support?

Technical support is very good when it compares to the other RPA tools. So in SAP automation, we had faced some issue and it got resolved. Within an hour we can get a response from the UiPath support team.

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

I've used other solutions but prefer UiPath. The cost is a barrier. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very easy. We can download from Orchestrator. Solutions such as Elasticsearch takes more time because people don't know how to implement as well. GitHub also integrates with UiPath so if the client agrees to upload it in GitHub, it's very easy. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises
