The summary above is based on over 100 recent interviews with UiPath and Microsoft Power Automate users. To access the review's full transcripts, download our comparison report.
"It's not hard to learn, which means we'll be able to make more workflows in the future."
"The product is very reliable and very easy to use."
"The tool is very good at implementing automation within processes. It's saved us from doing a lot of manual processes."
"The product is very stable."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"Power Automate Desktop allowed me to quickly visually identify parts of a screen and record it. So I can see that I know I'm going to have to click this button here, this field there, and this tab here, and I can literally go and quickly just record all of them and identify them and have them in a list that I can see and say - there's my list of things."
"The ease of use and the integration with some of the existing products that we have would be its main takeouts."
"Triggering and scheduling were pretty good. There was no real commitment with WinAutomation because the licensing was very fair and you could trigger bots very easily."
"Smooth integration of OCR, which is very quick, is a useful feature."
"It is easy to use and quick to install."
"The two reasons that we went with UiPath were, one, the learning curve, and, two, the community edition of UiPath, which had everything we needed to dig into the solution. Whereas with the other companies, there wasn't that option. With Blue Prism, for example, we had to buy a license in order to check whether the tool was going to work for us."
"UiPath has helped speed up digital transformation and significantly reduced the cost of digital transformation."
"When talking about deployment, you have a very robust infrastructure to manage your automations, the robots, and how they can be configured, deployed, executed, monitored, and maintained. When it comes to process discovery, it has excellent front-end tools and capabilities vis-à-vis Task Capture and Automation Hub."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to utilize UiPath beyond our scheduled work hours, making it available 24 hours a day."
"I like the Orchestrator and the AI Center. The AI Center has many pre-trained trained models you can adapt to your requirements."
"Automation is most valuable. When it comes to web automation, data scraping and UI-related activities, such as the Find Element activity, are quite useful."
"Things need to be improved with respect to RPA kinds of solutions."
"One of the challenges is dealing with OCR text recognition."
"It would be great if it was able to integrate more with various other platforms. It would make development easier."
"The UI of the solution is not so good."
"From an improvement perspective, Microsoft just needs to make sure that they have a real enterprise RPA tool. PowerApps and Power Automate are still not at the level of UiPath and Automation Anywhere. It could be because Automation Anywhere and UiPath have been in the market for quite some time. It's just about Microsoft increasing their focus in terms of product reviews and development and making them competitive products that one can consider at an enterprise level. Right now, their use cases are limited as compared to what one would consider doing with UiPath and Automation Anywhere."
"I need to have more integration capabilities from this solution."
"There is a limitation in setting up loops, where it does not support multiple conditions."
"There are frequent version updates and that impacts different algorithms so we have to adjust our code."
"UiPath can probably work on improving the AI features. We tried UiPath's AI functionality in our automation program. We did some research on that, but right now, nothing is in production. When we did some research, we weren't getting the expected results. We weren't completely satisfied with the results, so we put it aside. It could be a drawback on our side in terms of learning the tool."
"The user interface can be improved and the version control can be better."
"We can not exceed ten records in the UiPath database because the UiPath architecture will become extremely slow and not respond."
"The main disadvantage that I have identified in the Document Understanding is in table extraction. If the table size is large and goes to the next page, we are unable to extract it with Document Understanding. I hear that there is a solution for that but I have to find it."
"UiPath should improve the document understanding a bit."
"I would like it if the UiPath Academy videos were more written out for reading purposes, since I have been developing in UiPath for some years before taking the Academy. Having to watch all the videos was a bit slow and time consuming."
"The error notifications sent to users can be improved by including more detail."
"I would like to have cloud in the next release. It's one of those things that allows customers to be able to have an easier access point."
