Web scrapping for us is the best tool so far

What is our primary use case?

We use it for price quotes on the internet, looking for the best cost benefits for our customers after researching our thefts, creating a table and sending the data by email to the customer.

How has it helped my organization?

With the creation of the project mentioned above, we were able to reduce the cost of our client to acquire materials, besides the agility of being able to do everything very fast.

What is most valuable?

Web scrapping for us is the best tool so far, as well as data scraping. We have obtained many good results, and in the near future with these databases, we have the intention to move towards some possible interaction with big data.

What needs improvement?

Unfortunately, the work with PDFs that contain an image still has very bad recognition and needs to be studied for a way to improve this function which is very important for anyone who works with files of that format.

The web recorder has been a great help when it comes to automating tasks over the internet

What is our primary use case?

The main request of our clients is the integration with the SAP system and specific tasks of email, like sending and downloading of NFS.

How has it helped my organization?

With the automation of the tasks, we have significantly increased the production of our clients, with robots running 24/7.

What is most valuable?

The web recorder has been a great help when it comes to automating tasks over the internet. The selector is perfect, and it recognizes with mastery all the information that is shown.

What needs improvement?

I think they should give a review on the recognition of text in the PDF files. It can not read a whole file, and that delays the work it has too much.

For how long have I used the solution?

Trial/evaluations only.

The integrations with Windows and Google OCR, PDF, Excel, Outlook and SAP are the most valuable features

What is our primary use case?

We use UiPath internally to automate the repetitive processes of our company. We use the tool for the generation of reports and automatic sending of emails, as well as automation of registrations and the likes.

How has it helped my organization?

UiPath has made it possible to reduce the time spent on these repetitive tasks because robots can keep working indefinitely, with a very low error rate and a very low maintenance cost compared to the financial return.

What is most valuable?

Certainly, the integrations with Windows and Google OCR, PDF, Excel, Outlook and SAP are the most valuable within our area of performance.

What needs improvement?

I believe that a better explanation of ReFramework and license costs would be something to rethink. 

For how long have I used the solution?

One to three years.

Pictorial workflow representation is in itself a standout feature

What is our primary use case?

UiPath is used as an RPA platform to automate the engineering-based repetitive and rule-based tasks in my company. UiPath has proved itself to be a very user-friendly and easy-to-adapt kind of software which does not require any core knowledge or coding background to start with.

How has it helped my organization?

UiPath has helped us improve our efficiency, and the quality of our deliverables has increased by many folds. It has also helped us to set up an automation environment which helps us in speedy and accurate delivery well before the deadline.

What is most valuable?

Pictorial workflow representation is in itself a standout feature of UiPath. Features like screen scraping, data scrapping, Citrix related automation features, mail sending activities, inbuilt recovery mechanism (REF) are really useful.

What needs improvement?

The features of Citrix related activities could be greatly improvised. The version compatibility or stability issues could be fixed in the coming releases.

For how long have I used the solution?

One to three years.

It's very easy to set up an automation process

What is our primary use case?

We use UiPath mostly for automating data entry forms and automatically copy-pasting between different apps.

How has it helped my organization?

We reduced a 10 people team to just one person, who just stands by most of the time and monitors the robotization process in action.

What is most valuable?

  • It's very easy to set up an automation process. 
  • The application is very intuitive and user-friendly. 
  • There're also lots of training classes and training material available.

What needs improvement?

Our developers experienced some sluggishness while developing a very large automation. This only happened during automation though; the actual automation was not slow at all while running.

For how long have I used the solution?

One to three years.
