Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Most of the details are already in the help portal and SAP notes are available. It is well documented as part of the product support.""Scalability is fine. It is pretty nice.""Contextor is a good solution for a Citrix environment. It's the first with this tool. Other tools provide the same functionality, but not with the Citrix environment.""It is remarkably easy to configure and code, and it doesn't require an extensive technical background or coding expertise.""The standout features of SAP Intelligent RPA are its flexibility and integration capabilities.""The initial setup of SAP Contextor is easy.""The most valuable feature of SAP Contextor is that everyone is in one place in the program that I need."

"The AI functionality saves time and reduces the number of errors. It also reduces our costs in terms of human resources. It has reduced our costs by thousands of dollars.""People, in their careers, can become relevant again. If they are in a dying industry or disrupted industry, they can get into something that's growing rapidly. If you have a computer, and a decent internet connection, you can have a new career in a fairly short amount of time.""The solution connects with different services via a plug-and-play model that includes Microsoft, Amazon, and Google.""This solution is intuitive, user-friendly, and has a specific framework that allows for quick robot deployment.""One of the features that I find most valuable is the Apps feature. We can easily create an app, or a web app, that can connect to the robots that we created with UiPath. It is just a drag-and-drop functionality, and we can implement an app with minimal code. Once we have the app ready, we can easily and quickly share it with other stakeholders so that they start using it. The apps are also pretty professional to be used at an enterprise level. That's the main feature I love in UiPath.""I find the most valuable features are automation and RPA.""One feature that is particularly very likable is the My Workspace option under the Orchestrator menu. We can easily arrange and/or segregate all the folders there. The My Workspace option has been a very big positive for me. I've been able to streamline my work and do structured work with this My Workspace option.""The ease of automation using UiPath is valuable."

Cons
"The initial setup is of medium complexity. It is neither too hard nor too simple. You need some background in SAP and an understanding of it.""There should be more of an error, like a proper error feature, in future releases. Sometimes, we don't understand why that automation is not learning what, like, where it is stuck, or what is the reason like, or what is the criteria we are missing to add. So a proper error message would be helpful.""I would like to see a better capacity for unstructured data, for example, PDF, or text within images.""For potential features or improvements, one aspect I would suggest enhancing is the flexibility of the extraction process.""SAP Contextor could improve by automating some processes.""One way SAP Intelligent RPA could improve is by integrating built-in DI services for document processing.""I found that the SAP scripting of a program is easier than SAP Contextor."

More SAP Intelligent RPA Cons →

"I would like to see a biweekly scheduling option in Orchestrator.""I had some issues with the ERP Automation features, and the setup is complex.""Its price is high compared to many other tools. When we go for any additional capability, everything comes at additional pricing. As a package, they can provide something that helps with scalability in terms of bot addition.""The dashboard view could be more visually appealing. Dashboards in any software should stand out with colors, numbers, and other things, but in UiPath, the dashboard is not that visually appealing. The UiPath team could make it more visually appealing for us to get more insights.""It would be good if the product could work locally, without depending on the internet, as connectivity issues can cause problems.""I would like to see higher end AI type features natively in UiPath. Some native integration over time would help.""The document understanding has room for improvement. The handwritten documents need to be optimized further on the OCR extraction, making sure that we extract accuracy above 80% because we do see a lot of failure rates when it comes to handwritten documents.""There is potential there for some workflow capability. I know this would be going beyond RPA at that point, but having one platform that does a lot of things would be nice. Because as it stands, when you need to do a workflow or approval process, you need to send this out somewhere else. There are things the bot can do, but I can see some of that functionality already showing up though with the tasks and apps. However, I would like to see more."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This is not a tool or software with a license as others are. The SaaS model is based on the usage of the tool."
  • "The initial cost might seem higher, but over time, with continued use over five or ten years, the cost tends to decrease, making it a more economical choice."
  • "The pricing is not that expensive. It is manageable."
  • "It all comes with a bundle right now. Having advanced features, it is competitively priced."
  • More SAP Intelligent RPA Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It costs much less and it does much more than the competitors' solutions."
  • "The pricing differs on the requirements. If there is a huge purchase, then we get a discount. There is not a fixed pricing of the product."
  • "If you want to do a demo trial, it is a 30 days free."
  • "The community edition is completely free. Then, people say, "There is nothing to lose, let me try it.""
  • "There are operational benefits in terms of time savings and user satisfaction of not having to do menial, repetitive tasks."
  • "Traditionally, Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism are the biggest things competing against UiPath. Those are usually what most of the clients lean towards, if they see a cheaper licensing option. Clients choose UiPath because it's easier to deploy and learn within their teams."
  • "We saw ROI in 15 days."
  • "They give it away in the community edition for free, so I use it at home."
