The online academy was very helpful

What is our primary use case?

Production staff has to enter data manually in several apps which cannot be integrated via API. UiPath allowed us to automate most of the job, saving a lot of time in the process, which allowed us to move most of the team to more skilled tasks.

How has it helped my organization?

UiPath made the production workflow more efficient, reliable and profitable. The licencing price and the time spent setting it up was paid for after a month.

What is most valuable?

  • It's very easy to learn and get started.
  • Developers got it right away.
  • All apps (desktop and web) were integrated without any issue.
  • The online academy was very helpful.

What needs improvement?

Debugging has some room for improvement, but other than that everything seems to be just amazing. UiPath is clearly headed in the right direction.

Lots of variables and activity creation was one of the best features

What is our primary use case?

The software is used for automating the process improvement and simplifying workflow as our organization is an insurance-based organization. Also, it is used to create some small repositories which can be used for future use of process improvement.

How has it helped my organization?

It has brought some new projects as our clients need automation testing of several systems which could be automated in less time.

As UiPath can be developed in very less coding and is simple to learn, it was useful for a lot of individuals to learn and grow in UI automation.

What is most valuable?

UI Explorer, universal search feature and UI easy look and feel were found to be most valuable. Also, lots of variables and activity creation was one of the best features of UiPath.

What needs improvement?

Due to the heavy load of robot creation, the system gets hanged while starting up the robot, as well as the application startup takes a lot of time, and the validation of licence can be bypassed if the user directly starts UiPath from the system.

For how long have I used the solution?

Less than one year.
