We performed a comparison between Redwood Software - Finance Automation Edition and UiPath based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"So the best thing is ease of use."
"Redwood has a great feature where it logs every transaction. So, at any point, we can see every step taken for each transaction. It creates an audit trail of the entire process execution. It is a really good feature. This eliminates the need for extra coding or report generation. The audit report is readily available within the tool itself."
"The out-of-the-box finance modules within the Redwood Finance framework help to speed up the process, versus designing and writing generic BOT code."
"The UiPath Academy is fantastic and amazing. I'm a big promoter of it in my discussions with customers."
"It is user-friendly and significantly speeds up the development process."
"For our organization, the Orchestrator has the most useful setup. All automation is more or less the same. With UiPath, the difference is the Orchestrator. The amount of integration it has is actually what makes it different from all other vendors."
"It's easy to build automations in UiPath. It has a simple drag-and-drop interface."
"The functionality where you can quickly convert your code from Studio X to Studio is really nice."
"It takes a very manual, key punch-oriented job and automates it, so the user can do more intelligent work."
"With the robotics and management of Orchestrator, we are able to kick things off. We are starting to get more out of the scheduling of these and into more on demand triggered events, such as a RESTful service calls and things of that nature."
"The client is eliminating human errors as they are eliminating some of the accrual processes from SAP, where a lot of mistakes can be made. If the bot is not making mistakes, then they are eliminating errors by 100 percent, but this depends on whether the bot is efficient or error-free."
"The room for balancing improvement lies in automation enhancement with respect to the feature areas, considering dealing directly with Excel and reviewing it to do some additional stuff for it in the end system so that reading the right thing, picking up the values, and everything."
"Mapping the process steps to an existing R2R process quickly would be a definite step forward."
"would like to see AI integration for automation in future releases. Post-automation, I envision a generative AI model. If I could ask the bot questions like the number of invoices or their current status, it should be able to provide answers directly."
"The UiPath tool doesn’t provide an option to resize the activities as per wish, especially if the activity is a big box."
"If they had more development assistance, it would be helpful."
"We have mixed reviews for the technical support and depending on the topic, they will answer faster or slower, more personalized or not."
"More industry-specific training and information would be highly valuable to us."
"What I'd like to see is more tutorial videos on YouTube. Maybe they could have a YouTube channel, and the community could empower more content creators to make how-to videos. When clients call us with issues, we wouldn't have to explain."
"Governance has room for improvement but that's more of a cultural thing. It depends on your company. We have the reference architecture that we have in place, but it's easy for someone to say, "Okay, I need to make an adjustment here outside of that reference architecture." Because it's so easy for them to do that, they leave the company now that a non-compliant bot is out there running a production process, we need to be able to rank that in. There needs to be footwork that we have to do as an organization for my team as opposed to a true problem with the platform."
"I faced a problem when a new version of UiPath Studio didn't work with an older version of the packages that were part of our project. The problem is that when I have to change something just a bit, I actually have to rebuild the automation with new versions of these libraries. There is no backward compatibility."
"We are new to the tool. Currently, we do not have any cons. There is still a lot left for us to explore. We have heard of a lot of features at the conference today, and we will certainly build upon that. As we are exploring, some of the improvements could be in the pipeline within Automation Hub and insights, but so far, we have had a great experience with UiPath."
