"The RPA robotic process automation is a good feature. We can make a flow within a flow. We just made a UI flow. The flow is to run every day so far it's been quite helpful."
"The solution helps automate manual tasks and interacts with multiple applications."
"The email routing, consolidation of the reports, and management features are strong."
"The most valuable feature is that it is very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Power Automate in the desktop version is web scraping because you can do a lot with it. I work in retail and you can study prices changes, which can give you a lot of information. The solution is no code which is a large advantage."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The ease of use and the integration with some of the existing products that we have would be its main takeouts."
"This product has an easy-to-use interface with nice detail in the features."
"UiPath is a strong brand."
"UiPath is user-friendly."
"We were able to automate a lot of data entry into our financial system. We've automated spreadsheet manipulation in the area of financial management."
"The most valuable feature of unattended robots is that they are always available."
"I like the UiPath Orchestrator. The Marketplace is also helpful because there are pre-built automations we can use."
"The product is very intuitive and easy to use, and I am not a developer."
"It is easy to use as drag-and-drop features are present."
"I find the solution easy to use... I've been able to take people with absolutely zero technical background and quickly scale them up in a matter of weeks so they're building bots. I haven't been able to accomplish that same feat with the other platforms."
"Things need to be improved with respect to RPA kinds of solutions."
"Microsoft Power Automate could improve by adding more features to the free version it would be good because there are many features that you have to pay for. There are some functions that IT personnel, like myself, have a difficult time using and could be made more user-friendly."
"There are frequent version updates and that impacts different algorithms so we have to adjust our code."
"It would be great if it was able to integrate more with various other platforms. It would make development easier."
"The solution is still maturing, and it's going to take time for that to happen."
"Their OCR capabilities are not as evolved as the other tools."
"Microsoft Power Automate could improve by offering recurring execution on the desktop."
"It doesn't have any OCR capabilities."
"When we have to capture some text from our invoices and from our notes and do some manual work, sometimes the tool doesn't extract the data in a precise way."
"UiPath could use more OCR use cases to help with those features."
"UiPath should expand its coding options and reduce its dependency on third-party resources. There should also be more flexible licenses for smaller businesses. It's hard for small companies to estimate the cost of adding users in their final budgets. UiPath could also improve error handling and capture a little more information about the execution of your processes."
"Simplification and adaptability for smaller businesses would be a welcome enhancement."
"Support should be improved."
"Capturing ROI needs improvement. I would also like for it to have more logging mechanisms in Orchestrator."
"The new features or functionalities that come with UiPath upgrades don't work perfectly in the initial days. Their new releases are not stable. We always find some set of issues. I have to work with the UiPath team for a week or so to resolve the issues, and then I'm able to use it. The stabilization should be there. We expect UiPath to reduce the number of errors before rolling out new features to end-users or customers."
"The Form Builder for back-end robots needs to be a web portal instead of a full desktop application."
