We performed a comparison between EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA 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."The feature I like the most is the ability to capture elements easily, especially when automating web-based applications. Additionally, I find the SAP connectors to be quite beneficial."
"Good email automation and XL automation."
"The tool follows a role-based working model to create things. It helps to track what others are doing with the system."
"AssistEdge made it so that the reps didn't need to maneuver through 10 or 20 different systems. We tied all that together in the background, so the reps had a shared UI, and everything else happened in the background without their knowledge. When they were retrieving data, it was done in the background through automation and pulling up to that generic UI layer"
"The UI Explorer in the UiPath Studio is valuable. We can get a unique and dynamic selector for every element in the UI, which is helpful for me in finding out a particular UI element. Most of my automations have had UI interactions. So, I found it the most helpful feature."
"The most important and valuable feature of UiPath is the ease of creating automations. It's a workflow-based model. End-to-end coverage is, no doubt, very important, because when you use a fragmented solution, the overall process flow becomes shaky. UiPath has the required capabilities to create an end-to-end solution for a business case."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use and the UI. It's much better compared to all the competitor applications out there. I've literally used all the applications that are in the market, and UiPath has been, by far, the best. Another prime factor is that scales up horizontally and is on the cloud, on AWS cloud. That's where we host our processes and our services. That connectivity feature, the availability, is a primary winning element."
"Unattended robots completely take tasks out of the user's hands reducing error and unnecessary effort on mundane tasks."
"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."
"I enjoy the enhancement of UiPath's debugging tools. I like the IDE and integration services. There have been massive improvements. I love to work with Orchestrator. It has become more streamlined and helpful."
"It has been helpful in centralizing. We are a tax, audit, and accounting company. We are centralizing for one of our partner companies with multinational clients. We have to centralize the results of a client in 40 countries every month by reading some information out of their balance sheets. Previously, we had to do this manually, and now, we have automated it. Internally, we also have a client with more than 200 companies. We have to centralize about 200 balance sheets every month for them. That's something that we have automated internally."
"They are providing an architecture that is really amazing."
"In my opinion, areas for improvement in this solution lie in handling documentation, especially when dealing with data from various layouts or formats like scanned PDFs. Currently, new features are emerging in other tools, like generative AI, that could enhance these aspects."
"AssistEdge isn't a simple tool like Blue Prism or other RPA solutions with configurable items that you can drag and drop. This involved a lot of hard coding, which posed two challenges. One, we did not have that skillset, so we depended on Infosys. Two, it's a beast to go back and update or make changes when things are hard coded because you can't just move those configurable items back around."
"The tool's alternatives work on drag-and-drop functionality without creating custom code. We don't have an in-built queue system and use RabbitMQ for it. The solution also doesn't have a framework."
"Lacks integration with third party tools."
"Additional help with ROM and approach would be an improvement."
"It would be beneficial to have the capability to track defects during the regression testing of applications."
"It interacts with so many products that the robot itself becomes unstable."
"Sometimes, UiPath support is like a lottery. They have many intelligent people who can get you what you need, but it depends on whether the person you're assigned knows the solution. It might be that they have so many customers and not enough staff. The ticket response times can be pretty slow."
"The community version of UiPath has a limited feature set, which can make it challenging for users to fully explore its capabilities without purchasing the enterprise version."
"UiPath could add more interactive features that enable you to explore and design processes from scratch. There should be more features that support the digital transformation process from the design phase. In the current data panel, you need to start with a process that's already in place."
"Optical character recognition for hand written documents could be improved."
"They should expand on workflow type items and take another step up from the long-running workflows to offer more visibility of business processes within Orchestrator."
EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is ranked 29th in Robotic Process Automation (RPA) with 4 reviews while UiPath is ranked 1st in Robotic Process Automation (RPA) with 762 reviews. EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is rated 6.8, while UiPath is rated 8.8. The top reviewer of EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA writes "The support team was great, but we had to rely on them too much because it lacks a drag-and-drop interface and everything is hard coded". On the other hand, the top reviewer of UiPath writes "Facilitates end-to-end automation, has good AI and document understanding capabilities, and saves us costs previously spent on manual tasks". EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is most compared with Automation Anywhere (AA), Blue Prism, Pega Robotic Process Automation, Microsoft Power Automate and AutomationEdge, whereas UiPath is most compared with Microsoft Power Automate, Automation Anywhere (AA), Blue Prism, Robocorp and Pega Robotic Process Automation.
