We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The standout features of SAP Intelligent RPA are its flexibility and integration capabilities.""Scalability is fine. It is pretty nice.""The initial setup of SAP Contextor is easy.""Most of the details are already in the help portal and SAP notes are available. It is well documented as part of the product support.""The most valuable feature of SAP Contextor is that everyone is in one place in the program that I need.""It is remarkably easy to configure and code, and it doesn't require an extensive technical background or coding expertise.""Contextor is a good solution for a Citrix environment. It's the first with this tool. Other tools provide the same functionality, but not with the Citrix environment."

More SAP Intelligent RPA Pros →

"The steps, documentation, and information are pretty straightforward when it comes to the product, so there is no ambiguity.""The most valuable aspect of UiPath is that it doesn't require much coding.""The most valuable features are some of the panels in UiPath Studio. For example, there is a debugging panel and a Designer panel. The debugging panel is useful because without it we could not solve any problems. The debugging panel provides functionality such as Step Into and Step Out, and we have highlight buttons. It helps us to analyze our code, what is wrong in a solution, and debug from the start to the end, to make the solution better. The Designer panel is where we create a workflow or step-by-step process, the place where a developer develops the code.""UiPath is a no-code automation tool that saves me a lot of time when developing workflows.""There are two features that I like a lot in UiPath: one is the Orchestrator option, and the other one is the Studio option.""The differentiation between unattended and attended bots is valuable, as well as being able to do portions of a process that are unattended coupled with portions that are attended. We can get human interaction, all within the same product.""The product helps achieve efficiency that will create ROI and the training and support are very good.""We use it in a very large way across the company. Last year, we implemented approximately 22 processes and saved close to 80,000 hours total. This year, we have already saved close to 6000 hours."

Cons
"One way SAP Intelligent RPA could improve is by integrating built-in DI services for document processing.""I found that the SAP scripting of a program is easier than SAP Contextor.""SAP Contextor could improve by automating some processes.""I would like to see a better capacity for unstructured data, for example, PDF, or text within images.""There should be more of an error, like a proper error feature, in future releases. Sometimes, we don't understand why that automation is not learning what, like, where it is stuck, or what is the reason like, or what is the criteria we are missing to add. So a proper error message would be helpful.""The initial setup is of medium complexity. It is neither too hard nor too simple. You need some background in SAP and an understanding of it.""For potential features or improvements, one aspect I would suggest enhancing is the flexibility of the extraction process."

More SAP Intelligent RPA Cons →

"The initial setup started off as straightforward, however, it can easily get complex. For example, not knowing the other applications and what it takes to interact with them will make things a bit more complicated.""The main disadvantage that I have identified in the Document Understanding is in table extraction. If the table size is large and goes to the next page, we are unable to extract it with Document Understanding. I hear that there is a solution for that but I have to find it.""UiPath is limited to one application at a time and cannot process two applications simultaneously.""The Academy classes could be improved. There should be a portal for use cases. There should be more business examples.""We have had some problems with processing errors, but these are largely due to our legacy system and UiPath is working to help resolve the issue.""They should include new machine learning and AI algorithms for better forecasting and analytics.""Document processing could be improved. It's challenging to build document automations. It would be helpful if UiPath provided some templates and prebuilt models. Citrix automation could be improved. It's static automation, and we cannot fully automate processes involving Citrix. Some elements aren't supported.""There can be technical issues, but it's rarely about a server quitting. They are more like connectivity, platform, and software version issues, but there are no issues with UiPath performance."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This is not a tool or software with a license as others are. The SaaS model is based on the usage of the tool."
  • "The initial cost might seem higher, but over time, with continued use over five or ten years, the cost tends to decrease, making it a more economical choice."
  • "The pricing is not that expensive. It is manageable."
  • "It all comes with a bundle right now. Having advanced features, it is competitively priced."
  • More SAP Intelligent RPA Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It costs much less and it does much more than the competitors' solutions."
  • "The pricing differs on the requirements. If there is a huge purchase, then we get a discount. There is not a fixed pricing of the product."
  • "If you want to do a demo trial, it is a 30 days free."
  • "The community edition is completely free. Then, people say, "There is nothing to lose, let me try it.""
  • "There are operational benefits in terms of time savings and user satisfaction of not having to do menial, repetitive tasks."
  • "Traditionally, Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism are the biggest things competing against UiPath. Those are usually what most of the clients lean towards, if they see a cheaper licensing option. Clients choose UiPath because it's easier to deploy and learn within their teams."
  • "We saw ROI in 15 days."
  • "They give it away in the community edition for free, so I use it at home."
