Convenient data handling features and a responsive community that is willing to help
Pros and Cons
  • "Quality of life improvements such as the multiple assign activity and more recently, the ability to change arguments to variables and vice versa are very appreciated."
  • "More quality of life improvements like automatic argument inheritance would be an improvement."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case is RPA Consultancy for clients. We have been building robots for our clients in many environments. These include attended and unattended robots that are on both web-enabled machines and local machines (Due to Security Concerns). They span across many industries as well. 

How has it helped my organization?

UiPath is by far the best RPA platform on the market. We have been building robots for our clients and saved many manhours and have very satisfied clients. As the best RPA Platform, it has provided lots of value through both our internal projects and for our clients.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features are the helpful community and the ease of use. The fact that the community is responsive and willing and able to help is wonderful. Features that allow for convenient data handling are very useful as well. Simple things like being able to manipulate data in memory are not available in most competitors.

Quality of life improvements such as the multiple assign activity and more recently, the ability to change arguments to variables and vice versa are very appreciated. It shows that UiPath has been taking feedback from the community and acting on it to improve the platform.

What needs improvement?

More quality of life improvements like automatic argument inheritance would be an improvement. Also, have more courses, maybe for more prominent packages like enhanced REF, and the others released together with 2019.4. I also hope that UiPath can be closer partners with us.

The most beautiful feature is that it has an easy-to-use interface

What is our primary use case?

The robots have completed the job in a short time by reducing the personnel load.

How has it helped my organization?

The most beautiful feature of UiPath is that it has an easy-to-use interface. I can design a robot even without a software. Drag-and-drop development is very convenient for the user in terms of user experience. Also, other ERP systems, Office applications, API services being able to integrate is also very useful for the developer.

What is most valuable?

  • Drag and drop development is very convenient for the user in terms of user experience.
  • It has an easy-to-use interface.

What needs improvement?

  • UiPath IDE error messages are not comprehensible.
  • Error messages can be detected by messages from the end user's understanding.

The most valuable feature is the drag-and-drop functionality

What is our primary use case?

I basically use UiPath robotic process automation for everyday processes that can be done without my intervention.

How has it helped my organization?

UiPath robotic process automation helps us save time and effort by doing daily tasks instead of us doing them.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature of UiPath robotic process automation is the drag-and-drop functionality which helps us easily and quickly create the processes we need.

What needs improvement?

They could really improve the advanced training. It is too shallow and makes quick jumps from concepts, and you cannot really learn how to work more advancedly with it.

AI-based computer vision solves an important problem of capturing information from VDIs and images

What is our primary use case?

It was used for the automation of web-based applications in the banking sector. The challenge was to read information in image-based forms.

We built a use case out of the free community edition. There was a lot of support available from the community. Once we got the full-scale implementation, we were able to purchase a license.

What is most valuable?

AI-based computer vision solves an important problem of capturing information from VDIs and images.

What needs improvement?

There is a lot of scope to integrate more AI-based features that will help improve the reading of unstructured data.

The support team is always available and quick to help, but I would like the forum to highlight resolutions to problems that really work

What is our primary use case?

We are a consulting company that develops robots for various customers using the RPA tool UiPath. Often, we install UiPath on virtual machines.

How has it helped my organization?

UiPath speeds up the implementation of robots and allows integration with other external tools.

What is most valuable?

I've been working with UiPath for seven months and I think it's a good workmate. The tool is young so, sometimes, strange problems happen. However, the UiPath support team is always available and quick to help you find a solution to the problem.

I think it's a good product and it will get better and better.

What needs improvement?

I would like that in the official documentation of UiPath there were examples of the use of the various activities and that, on the forum were highlighted the resolutions to problems that really work, in order to find them more easily.

For how long have I used the solution?

Less than one year.
