With a few clicks, we can automate a great demand for navigations in web systems

What is our primary use case?

Work automating demands of our clients like emails and withdrawal of data from PDFs to database.

How has it helped my organization?

UiPath has been a hero to our customers as we have been able to perform data analysis faster and more accurately thanks to the speed of the theft created.

What is most valuable?

The web recorder without a doubt is the best. With a few clicks, we can automate a great demand for navigations in web systems.

What needs improvement?

Data extraction via PDF needs to be reviewed, although working fine with OCR, it still leaves a craving for PDFs with image source.

What is our primary use case?

To automate day-to-day tasks for the user in the current project, for example, reports, tickets, price quotation and sending and receiving e-mail.

UiPath has saved us several hours of repetitive work, as well as people who are more motivated to seek personal and professional improvements.

What is most valuable?

  • The recording feature
  • Data scraping
  • Drag and drop
  • Browser capabilities.

What needs improvement?

Processing PDF images with the manual PDF feed does not work very well.

Lots of variables and activity creation was one of the best features

What is our primary use case?

The software is used for automating the process improvement and simplifying workflow as our organization is an insurance-based organization. Also, it is used to create some small repositories which can be used for future use of process improvement.

How has it helped my organization?

It has brought some new projects as our clients need automation testing of several systems which could be automated in less time.

As UiPath can be developed in very less coding and is simple to learn, it was useful for a lot of individuals to learn and grow in UI automation.

What is most valuable?

UI Explorer, universal search feature and UI easy look and feel were found to be most valuable. Also, lots of variables and activity creation was one of the best features of UiPath.

What needs improvement?

Due to the heavy load of robot creation, the system gets hanged while starting up the robot, as well as the application startup takes a lot of time, and the validation of licence can be bypassed if the user directly starts UiPath from the system.

For how long have I used the solution?

Less than one year.

The framework is the best feature which I have found

What is our primary use case?

Automating the repetitive rule-driven and data-driven process, a process which can be run continuously without manual input has been automated using UiPath.

How has it helped my organization?

In terms of ROI, FTE, and accuracy, UiPath has changed a lot in the organization. Processor count has been replaced with just one bot, and the accuracy is at a bit better position as there is no human error at all.

What is most valuable?

UiPath framework is the best feature which I have found, and you need to be a pro in programming to use UiPath. UI Explorer and other data capturing techniques like OCR(Microsoft/Google) are amazing.

What needs improvement?

It is not limited to any particular job areas; it can be implemented where the same repetitive rule-driven or data-driven jobs are going without any human intervention or human intelligence. 

For how long have I used the solution?

Less than one year.

Data scraping is a valuable tool to obtain data from any interface

What is our primary use case?

Calculation of commissions, from dispersed information in worksheets generated by different departments.

How has it helped my organization?

Has reduced the processing time of the transactions, for example, tasks that can take a person five days, with RPA was reduced to less than four hours.

What is most valuable?

  • Data scraping because it is a valuable tool to obtain data from any interface
  • Citrix automation because it allows interaction with very old systems such as terminals and with very new systems, but that can only be accessed via Citrix or RDP.

What needs improvement?

On any area, an additional feature that must be included is the AI, with the respective documentation and support.

For how long have I used the solution?

Less than one year.

It has a very good OCR engine

What is our primary use case?

I use UiPath to automate processes that use different systems. This is the best use for the tool since it has integration with a lot of systems.

How has it helped my organization?

We were able to automate processes that use different systems with only one tool. This approach has decreased the time of development and increased profit.

What is most valuable?

  • The integration with the systems: that makes it easy to automate any process.
  • It also has a very good OCR engine.

What needs improvement?

It is very expensive to acquire a UiPath license, and this cost makes it not so easy to profit from the automation.

For how long have I used the solution?

One to three years.

The best automation tool ever built

What is our primary use case?

Previously, we used to read lots of data and manually feed each document data into a system, but now we are using UiPath automation to read files, extract data, and then update the same into the given business application.

How has it helped my organization?

Helped to automate legacy applications and the solutions built are very robust. Also, the support that we have got from the UiPath team is excellent. We have got a very large community base for multiple queries and hence, overall a good product to work and design solutions.

What is most valuable?

  • Activities are easy to use, you can even include third-party activities. 
  • It helps to build any complex solution in a short time.

What needs improvement?

While doing Citrix automation, the image identification and accuracy should be easier. Easy work-related activities for Citrix is the one thing we are requesting for in upcoming releases.

For how long have I used the solution?

One to three years.

Big increase in productivity, enables distribution of transfers to other departments for their control and management

What is our primary use case?

  • Downloading of the daily movements on the websites of the banks and the entry of them all in the ERP.
  • Distribution of transfers to other departments for their control and management.

How has it helped my organization?

The work of downloading movements of more than 100 accounts of the banks took several hours of work daily, but now it has been reduced to a few minutes of an unattended robot that sends all emails with the movements of the accounts of all the banks classified and ordered to users before their workday begins. The increase in productivity is maximum.

What is most valuable?

The developments with UiPath have been valid for the websites of all the banks which we work with. This with other RPA solutions has not been possible.

What needs improvement?

  • Financial.
  • It should be improved in such a way that the objects used in the designs should not be updated with the installation of new versions of UiPath as it happens right now.

For how long have I used the solution?

Less than one year.
