"Very reasonably priced."
"Power Automate is intuitive and easy to use."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Power Automate are user-friendliness and low coding functionality."
"Triggering and scheduling were pretty good. There was no real commitment with WinAutomation because the licensing was very fair and you could trigger bots very easily."
"The pricing of the solution is competitive, which is good for the Romanian market."
"So far, the tech support has provided me with good enough support and knowledge."
"Workflow management is what clients select the most. It is very intuitive and pretty much drag-and-drop, so we can create escalation, decision flows, and if-else conditions pretty much by dragging and dropping boxes. Even someone who is not technical can develop a workflow for the business."
"Automation is the best feature of the product."
"UiPath has enabled us as an organization to perform an array of tasks with more proficiency and efficiency. Automation is very important to our organization now and UiPath has played an immense role."
"UiPath's entire package is valuable. It is a user-friendly solution."
"UiPath has helped to minimize our on-premise footprint and reduced human error."
"It offers me various benefits such as AI capabilities and works very well for me on all types of processes. It makes our tasks easy and provides accurate results."
"It saves manual labor. Those that don't use it have to hire ten to 15 people to do the same job."
"The task capture and task binding features have been most valuable. These features make it easier for a team who are not that familiar with RPA to successfully use UiPath."
"It's changed the dynamic of how we look at our processes and how we talk about why and how we do what we do. That's been tangible."
"The most important part of Studio is the debugging feature. It gives you the ability to watch local variables, as well as highlight elements as it is moving through the process. The results of actions are displayed and indicate whether particular actions are performed successfully or not."
"Power Automate has fewer features and more limitations in general. It's not as mature a product as some of the others, like UiPath or Automate Anywhere."
"I need to have more integration capabilities from this solution."
"Power Automate is too complicated - it forces you to go through extra tasks instead of streamlining your workflow."
"While using this solution, we found it to be basic."
"The tool must be more stable."
"Looping can be a bit tricky."
"Not suitable for connecting other applications like browsers and third party applications."
"It should work better for Angular websites, as it has a lot of problems."
"The cognitive capabilities of UiPath are pretty time-consuming. If that can be improved, it would help a lot."
"The forum's a great place, however, for a new person, it was better some years ago. It's grown so fast, and it's not that as nimble. Previously, if you asked questions and the response time was quicker."
"The bots do not seem stable and we spend a lot of time fixing things that break."
"We cannot utilize the UiPath community edition license to operate any bots that we have created using that version in an enterprise environment."
"Optical character recognition for hand written documents could be improved."
"We ran into issues during the upgrade. It was not warned before."
"I'm learning it for the training for the RPA associate, and I'm about 70% through there. UiPath's academy courses have been helpful in onboarding or being up to speed with UiPath. However, it has been tougher because the programming that I learned in school is very different from the programming done today. I am sure the younger people will pick it up much faster. There is so much out there, and there is so much to learn because it is not one software package. It provides the ability to use all software packages and interconnect with them. So, the opportunities are amazing but also intimidating."
"I find it difficult to set up the Orchestrator and it should be more user-friendly for non-technical people."
