Excel automation and Web scraping help to automate many of our tedious tasks
Pros and Cons
  • "The features that are most valuable are Excel Automation, Web Automation, Web Scrapping, and CV Automation."
  • "I would like to see improvements made in OCR, Captcha Automation, and PDF extraction."

What is our primary use case?

My primary use case of this solution is automation. Where there are tedious tasks, we use the automation in those areas or sectors. I am a trainer and learner. It also helps others because it does not involve much coding.

How has it helped my organization?

UiPath was recently implemented and we have started migrating to this technology. From my perspective, it's useful for solving any repetitive tasks in any field.

What is most valuable?

The features that are most valuable are Excel Automation, Web Automation, Web Scrapping, and CV Automation. We had small tasks so we used these types of automation. As a trainer, these automation types are useful.

What needs improvement?

I would like to see improvements made in OCR, Captcha Automation, and PDF extraction. There should be a clearer way of performing web scraping, such that it is simpler to do.

Overall, more add-on features would improve UiPath.

For how long have I used the solution?

Automation of rule-based and mundane tasks allows time for more productive activities
Pros and Cons
  • "The employee's productive hours increased and they were able to handle more transactions and focused on better quality work that needs human intelligence."
  • "A self-coding robot can be a very useful tool in the future."

What is our primary use case?

I'm working at a computer software company, where we're bringing digital transformation using UiPath. All rule-based and mundane tasks are identified and automated using RPA. We have about 25 bots in production now. Data processing, file handling, email automation, and related activities are running in production.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features are the ability to interact with almost all applications in Windows, ease of programming, excellent forum support for developers, free academy training, Orchestrator capabilities for BOT handling, and Citrix-supporting features during development.

What needs improvement?

Robotic process automation should mold and grow into intelligent process automation where a BOT can handle more than just robotic and simple tasks. I'm sure UiPath is working towards it.

A self-coding robot can be a very useful tool in the future.  

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using UiPath for three years.

What was our ROI?

The ROI was quick and measurable. The employee's productive hours increased and they were able to handle more transactions and focused on better quality work that needs human intelligence. Some processes were developed in human-BOT collaboration as partial automation.

What other advice do I have?

The R&D focus of UiPath is really impressive.

Convenient data handling features and a responsive community that is willing to help
Pros and Cons
  • "Quality of life improvements such as the multiple assign activity and more recently, the ability to change arguments to variables and vice versa are very appreciated."
  • "More quality of life improvements like automatic argument inheritance would be an improvement."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case is RPA Consultancy for clients. We have been building robots for our clients in many environments. These include attended and unattended robots that are on both web-enabled machines and local machines (Due to Security Concerns). They span across many industries as well. 

How has it helped my organization?

UiPath is by far the best RPA platform on the market. We have been building robots for our clients and saved many manhours and have very satisfied clients. As the best RPA Platform, it has provided lots of value through both our internal projects and for our clients.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features are the helpful community and the ease of use. The fact that the community is responsive and willing and able to help is wonderful. Features that allow for convenient data handling are very useful as well. Simple things like being able to manipulate data in memory are not available in most competitors.

Quality of life improvements such as the multiple assign activity and more recently, the ability to change arguments to variables and vice versa are very appreciated. It shows that UiPath has been taking feedback from the community and acting on it to improve the platform.

What needs improvement?

More quality of life improvements like automatic argument inheritance would be an improvement. Also, have more courses, maybe for more prominent packages like enhanced REF, and the others released together with 2019.4. I also hope that UiPath can be closer partners with us.

We have been using UiPath for one year.

UiPath is a stable solution. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is scalable, especially with the use of Orchestrator.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We use Automation Anywhere as well.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is relatively simple, but I have not personally done fancy stuff with installations thus far.

What about the implementation team?

Our in-house team builds the bots and deploys them.

What was our ROI?

Our ROI is high enough.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

UiPath is a good deal all round.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We have worked with both Automation Anywhere and Kryon.

What other advice do I have?

It is the market leader in RPA and my go-to software when looking at automating business processes. Kudos to the team.
