"The solution is easy to understand and to develop connectors."
"The whole platform seamlessly integrates well."
"To me, what's most useful in WinAutomation by Softomotive is that it's quite intuitive, especially because most of the capabilities of the older WinAutomation remain. You also don't need to do or know hard coding, and this is another useful feature of the solution. I also like that WinAutomation by Softomotive integrates very well with Microsoft products, especially Microsoft Office, and this is great news because most companies use Microsoft Office. Having a very good integration with the Microsoft Office suite covers a lot of bases, and is one of the advantages of WinAutomation by Softomotive."
"The initial setup isn't too difficult."
"This solution improved the reporting in our organization. The financial department was doing a lot of copy pasting from different sources to create financial reports. Through ProcessRobot, we were able to automate all those copy pasting and produce all those financial reports overnight."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"This product has an easy-to-use interface with nice detail in the features."
"So far, the tech support has provided me with good enough support and knowledge."
"Look into the data web scraping. I don't think another tool has that feature and we use it a lot. Data web scraping was probably the bonus of why we went with UiPath."
"The tenant concept, where you can have everyone working in their own space, is valuable."
"The UiPath Community is truly helpful."
"The most valuable feature of UiPath is they have direct access to read and write data in their applications, so we don't need to build a back-end interface."
"The way they stay on top of Orchestrator is really helpful because that has been the platform that controls everything. The dedication to that is pretty helpful. Every time there's a new release, it seems there are more and more features. It's also not hard to learn."
"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."
"The object cloning in UiPath is a lot more consistent than Automation Anywhere. The consistency with which it captures the information that it's supposed to in order to do the rest of the process is probably the most useful component of the tool package."
"UiPath has a very good user interface, and the automation is a great feature. New users can easily understand UiPath."
"I've had some issues with the stability."
"The tasks that can be automated are limited to Microsoft applications only."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"Any task that is automated needs to be very simple. This tool does not seem to handle complicated tasks very well."
"The thing which needs the most improvement is really the documentation. It should have better details of the processes."
"When comparing with Automation Anywhere, there are a couple of things that this product doesn't have. One of the major things is the key management system. It would be great if they improve this. Its documentation can also be improved."
"There is a limitation in setting up loops, where it does not support multiple conditions."
"We need a more powerful desktop option."
"If UiPath could interact with more popular applications currently available, it would be highly beneficial."
"We have the new license, the Flex Plan with Automation Suite, but we don't have practical examples and we have found it a little bit difficult when dealing with it. We could use more specifications about it and practical examples."
"Initial deployment is very complex and some integrators aren't well qualified."
"We need to be able to span across a bigger complex network. Right now, the decision-making is based on a five step rule. It would like to see this increased, so we can take on bigger productions and work more efficiently."
"UiPath should improve its licensing structure."
"The initial setup was very complex. We had the data, but we had to streamline it. You can build a robot in 30 minutes, but the robot needs to get the data correctly."
"UiPath should improve its licensing because its competitors offer a cheaper and more sustainable model for even small-scale industries."
"Computational text recognition has room for improvement as it is not 100 percent accurate."
