"The most valuable feature is the ability and ease of linking multiple connectors within the same flow."
"It's not hard to learn, which means we'll be able to make more workflows in the future."
"The most valuable features are that it is low-code and simple."
"We have talked to Microsoft. We're a large company and we're talking to Microsoft on a regular basis. We have a partner we talk to when it comes to Automate. We are absolutely satisfied with technical support."
"The solution helps automate manual tasks and interacts with multiple applications."
"The solution is pretty customizable. Even big automation tasks are done rather simply."
"This product has an easy-to-use interface with nice detail in the features."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Power Automate are the connectors, such as loops, which make things easier."
"The most important feature of all is the UiPath community and the forums, as they have helped me with countless questions!"
"UiPath provides scraping of both structured and unstructured data."
"The quick delivery is good, and the solution is easy to use."
"It is easy to use and quick to install."
"UiPath is easy to scale. If we want to share the bot or the scripts, it is easy to do so with other team members. It is also easy to add licensing and grow the current bot or create a new one."
"Orchestrator lets you start a credential stair, so you can get the credentials in a safe way. Before this, they were afraid that credentials would be stored somewhere and people could see them. I think it's really important for our customers that you can do that in Orchestrator. The scheduling feature is also valuable of course."
"Our main projects are mostly around SAP and Excel. We have used most of the features available, especially the ones that support SAP and Excel activities. Those are the ones that we have found to be most useful."
"It saves manual labor. Those that don't use it have to hire ten to 15 people to do the same job."
"When compared to other workflow automation tools out there, it's just not as mature."
"It lacks a lot of functionality that other tools have. There should be queue management, and there should also be the capability to deal with a little bit more complex automation. If it had queue support and if it was capable of doing more complex automation, it would be a much better tool."
"The tasks that can be automated are limited to Microsoft applications only."
"Things need to be improved with respect to RPA kinds of solutions."
"Execution of workflows could be improved."
"It should be more stable, and their technical support should be faster. It should also have more integration with tools from other vendors, such as SAP and Oracle, and technology partners, such as Salesforce."
"I've had some issues with the stability."
"The downside is the lack of orchestration and supplemental tools such as capturing existing processes and using them to build out."
"Sometimes, the company's processes are very complex, and it's very hard to implement UiPath."
"The document understanding has room for improvement."
"I would like to see higher end AI type features natively in UiPath. Some native integration over time would help."
"When it comes to scoring, you receive a score after the intake and a score after you build it, but you should also get a score after you build it."
"UiPath's OCR features could be improved. It's to do complex OCR captures with UiPath. I would also like improvements in the dashboard for executing processes."
"I'm trying not to sound negative about it as I like them a lot, however, the process mining and the process mining features stem further away from the development of the robots and the monitoring. The development, run, and monitoring are really closely knit, or really close together, and then process discovery is starting to get there. It's on its way, however, I don't see that it's as closely connected as the other three parts."
"They should add chatbots functionality for Microsoft Teams and not only for Slack."
"UiPath's price has room for improvement."
