UiPath, the best way into RPA!
We are using the UiPath Enterprise RPA Platform to produce proofs-of-concept for clients showing UiPath as an integration tool between Oracle legacy systems. Also aiding form filling in said systems and in new cloud-based systems. We are also in the process of linking UiPath automation with machine learning and artificial intelligence to automate our in-house expenses. Only the Capgemini Oracle Platform as a Service team are using UiPath as of now (that I am aware of). The business problems it addresses are lack of integration tools between old Oracle Legacy software and new or third-party applications or platforms.
- Excellent low code environment, easy for beginners to pick up as well as experts in the field. Very intuitive and due to UiPath Studio being an application rather than a web-app, it is much quicker and more stable than other low code tools such as Oracle Integration Cloud.
- Brilliant online learning through UiPath academy, perfect for people who are new to either UiPath or RPA in general. Easy to listen to and very informative. Doesn't take ages to get through or to understand either.
- UiPath Go and third-party support help massively when creating automations as it is likely someone has done something similar already. So given that the automation is open-source, it is very easy to get going.
- Easy to use orchestrator allows for deploying robots with minimal stress, switching from DEV to PROD environments is very simple.
- Selecting variables for functions can be tricky for novices as there are no "recommended" variables and some are badly named and require googling, memorizing, and wasting time.
- It is expensive and for low-level automations there are cheaper or free alternatives.
- Adding extensions can cause issues, some do not install properly and sometimes pre-requisites are not listed.

Uipath is the best way to build Bots
UiPath Enterprise RPA Platform is used both internally and externally to automate our customers' business processes. The reference department is IT services. For internal services I have personally developed robots that support the compilation of forecast and backlog data relating to ongoing projects. For our customers, particularly in the energy sector, we automate business processes.
- UiPath is very simple to learn.
- Any type of application can be automated (Desktop Application, Web Application and also applications reachable only via remote technologies such as Citrix, Remote Desktop and so on).
- The writing of a process code takes place entirely through the use of objects. In the event that there were no objects capable of solving a particular problem, it is possible to use some languages of the .net platform such as: VB.net, C#.
- It is easy to scale the solution by adding more robots to run a process in case the solution requires more performance in the future.
- It can also be used by functional analysts to design the flow to be automated.
- An academy is available online where basic and advanced courses can be taken. It is also possible to take a completely free basic certification.
- To understand how a robot is working in a production environment, good log management is required. This is a point that can certainly be improved.
- There is no clear separation between the design of the flow and its development. If you do not write the code in an orderly manner it is a bit difficult to change it later.
- Uipath provides queues that are very useful and complex objects. A tool that allows a "manual" entry into the queues can be useful for all phases of the process life cycle.

UiPath will change the way how you thing about process improvments
UiPath software is used mainly within McCormick Global Enablement structure to automate processes from HR/FINANCE/IT/TECHNICAL SERVICES/SOTC/PTP areas. We mainly automate processes which are rule-based, time-consuming and with low financial risk to build capacity for our employees who can focus on more strategic activities. We have a special RPA team which learned everything from the very beginning. 15 automations successfully automated!
- UiPath Academy
- UiPath Community
- Friendly user UiPath layout
- Good Uipath support
- Abby software should be provided, now you have to pay for tis advance OCR tool
- You need to have at least some programing skills, UiPath say at the beginning you do not need....

UiPath Enterprise RPA Review
It is being used currently by multiple departments to automate support jobs which include desk jobs, monitoring processes, and assisting users in solving tickets by processing their requests through ITSM tools such as ServiceNow and BMC Remedy. It has a wider application across SAP processes that include a lot of rule-based business processes that also depend on the users' input.
- Automation of any application built on latest technology
- The ability the automate even legacy applications
- The selectors need to be more reliable
- AI incorporation is highly anticipated

RPA ideal for business environments
UiPath allows me to work with structured data but I have to take into account the introduction of tables or data collection and that its interpretation can be difficult. It uses a more visual system, but learning and development can be more difficult considering that prior knowledge is needed. In terms of precision, UiPath works very well in Citrix environments, although its use in mobile devices does not allow the use of all modules.
- The UiPath interface is user-friendly.
- UiPath has a very fast implementation.
- The main advantage of this tool is the possibility of automating desktop applications and virtual environments (Citrix).
- It is available for free (community edition) for all who wish to learn more about RPA.
- UiPath automation helps me to perform all text functions, make screenshots in a timely manner, and fully automate keyboard actions.
- Increase in dependence on maintenance and repair.
- Specialized labor that increases the cost.
- Centralization of processes.
- Higher cost to control very small or simple tasks.

UIPath is the market leader for a good reason - it delivers.
We are using it for a wide range of business application automation activities across the whole of Roche. We have implemented a number of robots which carry out automation activities such as form filling, email workflow, file uploads, image detection and general application automation. We have also designed a way to use legacy applications as REST interfaces using UiPath to further extend the usability of legacy or single use case applications that don't have an API.
- Reduce time to check integrity of documents
- Automatic detection of document types and uploading of files to TMF and other regulatory systems
- Automation of integration between applications such as downloading attachments and processing data
- UiPath is the leading tool for this technology area - but we might see better integration with databases
- Better management of unattended robots
- Better scalability of robots
- Clearer license use of other applications that move from being single user to server implemented use case

Great RPA tool - easy, flexible and very little coding
It is one of the RPA tools that we use in our organization for automating some of the processes in HR and Finance departments which requires going through a large set of documents, majorly invoices, payslips and onboarding documents. Our major focus is generally to automate those processes which are rule or pattern based and time consuming. To date, we have automated a huge number of processes and saved our manpower from doing tedious work which involves almost zero creativity.
- The user interface is very user-friendly and simple to use.
- Support from UiPath community is pretty good.
- UiPath is pretty easy to learn. Even the training content provided along with the application is very good and effective.
- Almost any rule based process can be automated with the help of UiPath.
- You don't have to wait for the results to get generated. It generates the results in almost a couple of minutes.
- The way error logs are generated can be improved a bit, because it is kind of a challenge for a non-technical user to identify the errors.
- Other advanced OCR tools like ABBYY could be provided along with the application, as currently one needs to pay for it separately.
- While working on few legacy platforms, one sometimes faces difficulty finding the object locators.

Best RPA platform in the market
In my organization, UiPath is being used by the application development team to deliver process automation for both internal departments and external clients. We have been developing bots for our various Internal departments like Finance, WFM, etc. using UiPath efficiently and in a cost-effective way. Similarly, for the client projects, UiPath has been very useful in order to develop robust and stable bots with efficiency and accuracy. This has also been very cost-effective.
- Good for developing, managing and monitoring bots across different machines, VMs and cloud platform as well
- It is cost effective
- It needs to enhance more AI and cognitive capabilities
- It needs some improvement in OCR automation

Bored of doing repetitive tasks? Learn UiPath and play with bots.
We used it to automate repetitive work that we used to do regularly in Excel sheets (i.e. getting the excels from two different machines, pivoting/sorting out the data based on the conditions, and creating a final file to send via email). We also used it to write the data into PeopleSoft from Excels every week (which we used to enter manually). Lastly, it's used to submit timesheets, read the screenshots using python tesseract and write the data into excel. It's then compared with another excel to approve the timesheets by managers.
- It helped us reduce the manual effort.
- It also reduced the number of errors that came from manual entry.
- We need an activity to create a pivot table of the data in Excel that is not in the tabular format.

UiPath RPA Review
We use it for a large amount of data filling for test data creation in our testing department. We use it to gather information in a structured format from public websites for HR purposes. Mostly these are one time actions but the volume of data handled is heavy. We also use it to submit weekly timesheets by the team members.
- OCR scanning is very fast.
- Reading structured data using data scraping.
- Package a .xaml file as exe file to run directly.
- Apart from drag and drop, would like the ability to write code along with Intellisense.
UiPath Enterprise RPA platfrm is being used as a process improvement solution by my organisation. It is being used across the organisation where our department is the hub and provides end to to end solutions and services for the same. We are using it to automate various processes in Finance, Human Resources, and Information Technology departments which are repetitive in nature or which require a high level of accuracy.
We have also deployed OCR based technologies to achieve the same in invoice processing and have developed end to end solutions for the same. This has helped our organisation in reducing overhead and improved the accuracy in our daily processes.
- OCR based Use Cases
- Citrix based Use cases (remote desktop based scenarios)
- Debugging capabilities could be improved by providing more flexible options to users
- More options for multi threading/running background processes

The best RPA tool in the market
Our team is composed of 4 developers and one project manager. We have been using UiPath for almost a year already since we are starting to build RPA as a new service line here in our company. We mostly automate finance processes because it has the most number of processes that are repetitive and time-consuming. One example is the Accounts Payable Invoice Processing. We are integrating ABBYY with UiPath to easily extract the necessary information from the invoice straight to an Oracle System. With this, staff can focus more on value-added tasks such as the customer experience.
- There is a Community Edition
- UiPath Connect, Forum, Academy, and Go
- Detailed information on activities
- Easier dragging and dropping of activities

UiPath Tool for RPA Implementation
UiPath is being used to automate mundane processes on the operations side mostly. It creates invoices automation on AS400 systems as well as automations for our desktop application and web-based portals. It handles excel activity efficiently.
- It handles Excel application very well
- Citrix application
- AS400 64 bit system
- Google Spreadsheet, many elements change more frequently which decreases automation stability

UiPath Enterprise RPA Platform - Robots are the future
UiPath is used by the robotics department in my organization but it is helping throughout the organisation to automate our business, reduce employee efforts of doing repetitive tasks, and to utilize those precious hours in development instead.
- Integration with different technologies such as Python
- Use of Computer Vision which helps UiPath work properly in Citrix environment
- Most of the workflows fail when a system upgrade of an application occurs. There should be something that makes sure workflows work properly even after upgradation.
- PDF data extraction seems to be difficult.

UiPath - No. 1 RPA Player
We use it for automating business processes. It's our go-to platform for doing internal automation, although we also use other leading solutions. It's the best for simple, mindless copying of data between different systems.
- Allows for integration with systems where no API's available
- Easy to learn for new users
- Net could be replaced with more popular language
- Debugging could allow for variable value changes on the fly

The Justified Market Leader
I am responsible for developing and improving RPA software bots in my organisation. The processes we work on improving are in the field of finance. We started using UiPath and RPA about 2 years ago and are still improving and growing.
- High usability.
- Powerful. They added monitoring features for jobs and queues making it easier for both development and the day to day operations.
- Scalability costs.
- UI RPA interactions inevitably bring risk when the automated software changes. Adjustments are necessary.

Review of UiPath Enterprise RPA
We have been using UiPath in the organisation from more than 3 years. We have many projects across many departments that have used UiPath. By using UiPath we can reduce our time by building reusable components. One of the main concerns we have with using this tool is that OCR is a bit slow. After moving to the cloud platform, the Orchestrator API was not working. But we still have more trust in UiPath compared to other vendors.
- Timely support from UiPath
- User-friendly and simple to understand
- OCR is slow when automation is running in Citrix environment.
- While executing xml from the command line interface, we need to make sure that environment is available.

UiPath Enterprise RPA Review
UiPath Enterprise RPA Platform is being used in a hybrid model. This means we have a central and cross-organizational CoE, and areas have RPS allocated with responsibilities for automating their processes. A major problem comes from how we allocate resources in the business areas. As they are not 100% allocated to RPA, the delivery time is too high and bot/process maintenance is left in the background. Another problem comes from users not being in the IT department. We have some physical machine performance issues that users can't solve.
- Highly interactive and easy to use.
- Constant updates and improvements.
- Make it easier to update Studio versions.
- Improve interaction with Chrome.

Want to reduce your workload? Use UiPath RPA
As we are from education institutional background, we train our students on UiPath RPA to face the current market scenarios and help them get jobs in these fields. Recently, we added an RPA lab to teach our students about RPA. These students design projects that help our organization maintain their student profiles in our ERP System without error. Before this, we needed 7-8 people to update and maintain all student profiles. This method took time and even when finished had some errors. UiPath bots complete this process within a few minutes and without error.
- Data filling and account updates are very good with UiPath robots.
- Invoice process and creating excel files.
- Sometime OCR fails to read PDF documents.
- Have had problems capturing UI elements when they are run on different systems because it is extremely environment-dependent.

UiPath - A Boon for Digital Business Automation
UiPath is one of the tools we have been using for the past 2 years for various processes and research within our organization. Be it HR or Financial process related use cases, it will fetch us quick results. You can expect a ROI within a span of 6-8 months based upon the case. We have recommended UiPath to many of our customers in US and have sold good number of licenses too.
- It will be helpful in automating processes both back office and for front office operations.
- A cost-effective software for those who are in initial stages of automation initiatives.
- Shorter processing times using UiPath Automation when compared to manual processes.
- The scalability options is one area where they need to work upon when compared with two other leading softwares in the market.
- AI support is another area which further needs to be fine tuned to suit the growing automation needs.

Game Changer RPA Tool - UiPath
UiPath is one of the RPA vendor tools that we use in our organization. We've had multiple clients demanding it from doing a pre-research before they step into our client tours.
However, after our discussions, they are confused if their software decision was right. Most client decisions cannot be made just by reviewing blogs, websites or reviews. They have to see some of them run live. The next question clients ask if what software we prefer, and most times we propose UiPath.

- Faster execution in terms of data being handled
- Clear and concise UI elements being captured
- Outputs are derived as expected with no suprises
- No way of identifying if there is a bot being executed. We could see the bot runner highlighted in white and blue, but it still doesn't really look like it is running
- Error logs. We have categorization, but it is a great challenge for lay person or business/non-technical users to identify errors
- Error highlights, warnings during drag and drop of commands

Automation made easier with UiPath Enterprise RPA Platform
We started RPA COE in our company using UiPath Studio. At present we are using AA also. Based on the client requirements and pricing models we select one of them for any process automation. We support BPO operations for international airlines and OTAs around the world. So our main area of focus on automation is the airline domain.
- UiPath is free and easy to learn.
- Features like graphical interface for development, package management and building custom activities make it the best tool available in the market.
- There should be some replacements for cloud OCRs as it is against the compliance for most of the companies we work with because of the chance for data leaks.
- Developers have to be dependent on third-party tools like Visual Studio to create custom activities. There must be some tool to create and update packages in UiPath itself.

UiPath delivers on automation
My company did an evaluation of the top 3 players in the RPA market and decided to get UiPath for its scalability, reputation on customer support and capabilities. Currently, there is a Center of Excellence and a number of areas adopting RPA. I'm an earlier user, so-called citizen developer, supporting Finance. So far I have developed 3 small robots to help with manual and time-consuming system maintenance and setups. In addition, I have trained two full-scale robots that are now 1) posting and loading journal entries in our ERP system and 2) processing manual data updates for our patient database.
- UiPath is actually easy to learn, the training material is effective and to the point. UiPath certainly has the capabilities to automate manual repetitive tasks that involve any platform, with a stronger preference for websites.
- There is room from improvement when dealing with Excel automation, but the solution is to create Excel macros and have the robot to call it, making it a great team solution.
- As I mentioned, Excel automation is not very effective, there are a number of packages to add, but there is nothing as smooth as a good macro.
- Working with selectors is certainly challenging and UiPath does a good job with that, but there is room for improvement since the interface could be smarter in selecting the right attributes and warn the user if something is not properly setup.

It's a good RPA tool, and it's relatively easy to learn to automate your business processes.
UIPath Enterprise RPA Platform is used very limitedly in our organization primarily by the testing department so they can automate things. Being able to automate business processes, and the testing of them, creates opportunities for employees to focus on the really important stuff instead of the tedious repetitive work.
- It's quick to start up with, and one of the easiest tools in the market.
- Great documentation (you need it).
- There is a learning curve, but that is inherent with these kind of products.
- There could be more languages supported, but that is a minor issue.

Thoughts after a few months using UiPath
We have only been using UiPath as a business for a few months at this stage, and we are currently using UiPath for our IT Service Desk and Operations teams. The scope will be expanding further in the new year. It gives us the ability to be more competitive and reduce costs.
- The suite of tools is great. Each of the different tools available has a purpose and provides benefits.
- The reusability of components means that development time can be reduced as you go.
- StudioX needs more functionality
- Developing using Studio is more complex than I initially expected it to be
