Honest review of UIPath
[It's being used to] Generate lists of product details from a website. Hundreds of pages are there and without UiPath it would have been very tedious and time consuming. Now with a very little effort I can get all the details within minutes. In any other tool like UFT or Selenium we need to write huge code for this to be performed and on GUI, need to open the page we wish to extract data from. While here simply by selecting a couple of options we can get hundreds of pages of data without the need for a single line of code.
- The ease of learning and understanding is impressive. We don't need to be highly proficient in coding skills to use this tool.
- Generates very fast results. I can get results within a couple of minutes for features like comparison where we may have needed to wait for half an hour to get a result using other tools.
- Identifying objects can be made easier.
- Reports should be more customizable.
- Tool usage should be more flexible.

The activities in UiPath are well defined for automation manual recurring processes into automation.
I don’t know whether the whole organization is using UiPath, but I can confirm we recently switched to UiPath Enterprise RPA Platform to automate manual recurring processes in my Finance department, like automating the daily invoice entries. We are still evaluating possible automation processes within our Global Finance team.
- Drag and drop on Tool User Interface.
- Excel automation.
- Collaboration with SAP, in which we are directly capturing the data from SAP invoice entries.
- Analysis of Office tool automation.
- SAC automation.
- Integration with Business Warehouse queries in SAP to pull the queries that use analysis for Microsoft Office for reporting purposes.

Very best RPA Platform
We work with UiPath developing solutions for a large mobile phone company in Brazil. We are currently deploying a data migration solution across the enterprise's systems. UiPath fulfills our demands for ease of use, speed, integration with other applications, and good documentation of the tool, which allows us to quickly resolve doubts if we have them. The payback has been great, since we can leave robots working 24/7 with a speed much greater than that of a human and with a minimal amount of errors, making the financial return great too.
- Integration with other applications (OCR, PDF, Excel, Outlook).
- Frameworks made available by users.
- Training courses, active community in the forums and on social networks.
- More documentation of the adopted community frameworks.
- More regular updates of the courses offered at their academy.

UiPath Enterprise Platform Product Review
Currently, UiPath is being used by the Corporate office and some of the Business Units. Apart from the hardcoded benefits that RPA brings to the table like saving revenue, time and error-free processes, I believe UiPath has built a great environment among the employees by providing efficient RPA solutions. Also, enabling employees to work on what they feel challenged on, rather than doing the mundane monotonous tasks.
- User-friendly interface. It is very easy to get UiPath expert. The only mantra is getting your hands dirty and you will be a guru of it in no time.
- I believe UiPath Academy is well organized to get you started with the RPA.
- ReFramework was a bit confusing at first for me, but once I got my feet dirty in there and it's pretty useful in there.
- Excel Addins disappears while I use Excel application scope, but it works fine if I use start process/job. It would be great if this issue gets resolved.

Best tool for beginners
UiPath is certainly the UiPath tool with which I have a greater ability to develop tasks. It gives the developer, even a beginner, a wide range of automation options. Despite being visually beautiful, it does not compromise on performance. I can automate many repetitive tasks from day to day, from extracting structured data from the internet to sending reports, emails, or the like.
- Automation of multiple repetitive processes.
- Integration natively, and via packages, with various tools and platforms.
- Well-designed training courses from basic to advanced.
- Orchestrator Deployment Facility.
- Few native features.
- ReFramework has difficulty in understanding.

We mainly worked on Web Automation for US-based Clients in Banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) Domain, which involves automating end to end processes based on functional requirements using Agile Best Practices.
Technically, it involves Excel Automation in terms of reading the details of users having loads of data around 2-3 lakhs records per process.
These are further processed after login into the application using integrated securities and Client Level authentication.
At the end of the process sending the automated emails to the stakeholders informing about the insights above the transactions and errors that occurred using an unattended bot for the whole process.
The handiest aspect when learning and implementing UiPath, it is less programming when compared to other software tools which require firstly programming concepts then one needs to have tool familiarity.
UiPath has now introduced Source and Version control capabilities using GitHub and NuGet by Microsoft Corporation which gives us more control for the overall maintenance of repositories and workflows providing Continous Integration and Continous Deployment.
- It provides more control while dealing with Web Applications, Desktop Applications, VDI and Image-Based Automation on Citrix.
- Can be extended its scope on Mainframe Automation.
- GitHub Integration in order to maintain different repositories for different process.
- Implementing image-based automation is quite challenging especially when you are working on the Client network using VDI.
- There can be many more activities that need to be provided so it can be further enhanced.
- If not possible to give the activities, then at least provide some paid activities like Abby OCR when it comes to the Optical Character Recognition.
- They have recently rolled out a course which is having contents for automating salesforce application, but no automation is required when you use sales force for development.
- Extension to Linux based Applications.
- Security can be further enhanced by providing different activities rather than basic Typesecurestring in order to control logging at the verbose level.

Best RPA tool for beginners
We use UiPath to automate internal company processes. We automate from simple processes such as reading and sending emails, reading PDFs, extracting structured data from the web, filling spreadsheets with more elaborate things like migrating systems with Citrix, OCR and others.
- UiPath has an extremely active community on forums and social networks.
- UiPath has an extremely active community on forums and social networks. The tool is extremely simple to implement and start using.
- Anyone who does not have experience with programming or with RPA is able to sit down and develop skill early.
- The academy courses provide a good notion of using the tool and implementing the selectors and it is very well done. The ease of configuring the orchestrator is of great value.
- Unfortunately the price of UiPath licenses are a bit expensive for us as we are a small company.
- UiPath does not have as many activity options as its competitors and ReFramework, at first, is very difficult to completely master.

The tool that brought a new context to the RPA world!
My first contact with the tool was very pleasant. It was very intuitive and easy to use and I was surprised and delighted with the speed and intelligence behind the web recording and Data Scrapping tool. The company provides great training and the community is very active, great for anyone who is entering the market as it helps you feel comfortable to create anything.
- I liked the Step-Recording tool, very intuitive.
- I liked the workflow.
- I liked REFramework, it helps a lot in controlling logs.
- I liked the drag-and-drop interface, extremely simple and fast to use!
- The reading part of the PDF needs to be reviewed and the use of variables updated.
- The PDF reader should be reviewed. It has many bugs when trying to scan a PDF to the internet.

We are using UiPath across all the departments where the automation potential is good and where the processes can be automated.
- Orchestrator: By using Orchestrator we can handle multiple robots and we can schedule the robots.
- Integration with ABBYY FlexiCapture - ABBYY is one of the best OCR vendors in the market.. UiPath is integrated with ABBYY and the results are very good.
- Computer vision activities: using computer vision activities we can automate Citrix environment easily.
- UiPath studio gets killed if its cached memory becomes 1 GB.

UI Path - A good choice for beginners & experts
In my company, we have used UiPath since 2017 by the IT department COE team. To date we have had no process where we could not robotize using UiPath. Of course, it is necessary to focus on processes that have standards, are manual and repetitive. RPA is not about robotizing everything, but rather robotizing the processes that are prepared for it.
Until today we robotized several areas. Among them: P2P, R2R, O2C and HR. It was a great challenge in the beginning, however, we currently have more than 200 robots in operation here.
We are automating processes in our legacy systems that either do not provide API access or would require significant development time to rewrite the core programming. By using UiPath and RPA we can reduce the amount of operations hours required without affecting our product's core functionality. This automation allows us to evolve our operations analysts as business and process analysts allowing for a more well-rounded team. UiPath is also making us full document and understand everything. Where certain analysts knew only their own processes we can now diversify and spread operations knowledge among everyone.
Also I have achieved following automation targets through UiPath :
1. Sanity tests for the web platform UI components and functionality availability.
2. Report generation for the business users by taking screenshots and recording error details for the transactions from the web portal
3. Manual tasks done by support team on request like service restart, service now ticket creation etc
4. Weekend maintenance task where multiple interdependent systems gets restarted with zero downtime on product availability.
- UiPath has user friendly interface for both studio and orchestrator.
- UiPath can easily integrate with multiple third party apps which makes it more sustainable where our automation needs to interact with apps like service now, twilio etc
- Installing and maintaining UiPath environment is quite an easy task and they work well both in open and behind firewall environments
- UiPath activities are so perfectly named that we do not have to look towards any guide for help
- UiPath have a good pre and after sales service where they provide all kind of help required based on your license subscription
- More integration options can be provided for PDF files
- The documentation of ReFramework is very confusing, although there is the Advanced Course of UiPath, where the focus is ReFramework itself. I believe this is the most difficult, since certification is mandatory in ReFramework, and it is the Framework indicated by the company for the solution of problems
- Whatever flows I develop using previous versions, it becomes little difficult to open the same in latest versions. We need to update all the package which was used earlier
- Pricing is bit aggressive compared to other but is manageable for the quality of software they provide.
- With latest versions some bugs are there, some features like "get visible text" is not reliable always. So always migrate to latest version after 2 or 3 months once the product is stabilized.
- Not many object or element tools for interacting with a legacy system of SAP or other ERP systems

RPA-Choose UiPath
UiPath is used as RPA solution in our organization where we have N number of repetitive process. We use it in our financial department. We have a repetitive invoice process. In the search of the solution, we have evaluated all the RPA tools, but UiPath was the best out of them. We use UiPath and partner product ABBYY OCR to automate our process. I like to recommend UiPath to all colleague for its best functionality and its user interface.
- User Interface - It has the best user interface where anybody from any background can use this product.
- No coding is required - Almost all the activity you require are there in UiPath, if you need some more activity you require a minimal amount of coding.
- Your robot are always accurate, it doesn't make any mistakes.
- Your UiPath Robot can work 24/7 without any intervention.
- For many applications in finance and manufacture, we have to buy a partner product with UiPath.
- Pricing of UiPath is high.
- Integration to a new platform is difficult.

Ease of Use!
My organization uses UiPath Enterprise RPA Platform to support both client needs and internal needs across the advisory department. The intent across the organization is to push RPA for tasks that are time-consuming but not overly complex. It allows resources to focus time on more complex tasks and mitigates the risk of user error in largely manual processes. Overall, it is being used to make teams operate more efficiently.
- One benefit I've noticed is the training modules. These modules have provided users with a good base of knowledge to create bots without any prior experience. This has made it very user-friendly which can be a concern when it comes to RPA platforms.
- Another benefit is the re-usability of the platform. We have been able to share bots amongst teams to use for clients with similar needs/processes with slight modifications. Similarly, teams have shared bots they have used to improve internal processes, usually PMO related.
- UiPath is a good platform for improving overall efficiency with PMO activities. It is based on Microsoft SharePoint workflow which makes the interface more familiar and my team has been able to use it to confirm the accuracy of travel expenses and client invoicing.
- UiPath can work to improve overall processing capabilities in terms of data. While I have not personally experienced it, other users within my company have had an issue in running a bot pulling information from multiple large data files. I believe UiPath is most likely working to improve this aspect.

UiPath is used as an RPA tool in our organization. UiPath used to automate the web, desktop, all Windows and Citrix applications and also for mailing automation, API automation etc. UiPath used to automate end to end process. We can replace human activities with a robot. We can schedule the processes to initiate the execution without manual interruption. Fast-paced automation processes can be achieved through this UiPATH tool. Those who are not having programming skills can easily adopt this tool.
- Suppose we need to fetch data from a web application and process the data to generate report and mailing, all these activities are done very simple and effective way.
- In-build framework helps for easy implementation.
- Tools - is an intelligent automation tool. It helps in fetching data from multiple pages without any coding.
- It cannot handle large processes.
- Code implementation is hard to get for new things.
- Slow execution.

UiPath experience with several implementations
UiPath is used to automate the Process of Insurance as we are working with an Insurance client. Also it is used to create a repository which can be used in the future as a small system which can work automatically as on one click. It is used by the IT department of our organization and also made usable for our operational team as they require some small tasks which they can run and their work is completed, Business problems such as proposal creation, claim processing, as well as refund initiation are solved and automated. It also helps individuals for growing logical thinking power by implementing with it.
- Easy to learn and easy to use
- Strong UI Explorer feature
- Universal search feature
- Easy activity creation for process automation
- Hanging issue of AI while implementing
- Slow startup of application
- No Validation is displayed in the application as if the user starts the app from system startup instead of double-clicking application setup.

"Best RPA tool to start with" - UiPath RPA
Gone are the days when you have to deploy 100s of people for repeated tasks. We regularly update invoices of different channels and merchants to our workflow. Capturing each invoice requires some human attention. There are chances of using OCR or Text based extraction of invoices. We easily automate each type of invoice extraction to our spreadsheet. This reduces 1 hour (Max 1.5 hr) of 100 employees in our organization.
- Firstly, Web scraping - Data scraping became so easy after deploying UiPath. It provides various OCR engines to get through Scraping.
- Secondly, Excel Automation - It seems like UiPath studio is well suited for Excel automation.
- Thirdly, Remote Controlling - using Orchestrator you can easily invoke remote robots so as to get your work done on remote machine and working on current machine.
- We have deployed the technology since 6 mos. We are facing a major challenge in front of us. The invoice automation can only be done when the invoices are on website. Usually we fetch invoices from partner websites as PDF. Thus we are doing an extra work in scraping PDF.
- There is need of Screen Recording facility when performing robot activities. So that it is easy to debug when the robot gets stopped unexpectedly.
- When writing data to excel there should be an option to write the data one by one to excel file or inside a buffer table. Till now UiPath stores excel/table data first to a temporary table and then writes to excel/csv. There can be a case when you want to write the data directly to excel/csv. In other words, the data should be written real-time.

Lets move to path of automating UI
We started by automating several mundane tasks using UiPath to get comfortable with it. Furthermore, we purchased 5 attended, 2 unattended and an UiPath orchestrator to move some of our SLA bound tasks. There are some tasks which needs to be performed after every 15 min, which is fine. Some customer care and infrastructure tasks which are done using attended robots as well. Overall we are happy with this dot net based tool.
It's being used in different parts of our organization.
- Daily mundane tasks
- SLA bound tasks
- Complex executions
- You can access all databases directly on UiPath, so no need to install anything else.
- There are OCR engines and screen scrapping tools which helps a lot in automating tasks.
- There are new cognitives activity which can detect any selector which are often hard to detect.

Our RPA automations using Ui Path
We are using UiPath for handling manual activities in our organization. It has saved us a lot of time and cost. We are doing web portal automation, windows softwares like Quickbooks, CRM and ERP softwares. Our main goal is to automate whatever we can through this Automation tool. It is really helpful for RPA automation, data scraping and for citrix environments.
- UiPath handles a lot of problems we are facing in Citrix environment like windows keys and commands.
- It is easy to read the text from Image, PDF using OCR engines like Google, Microsoft and results are accurate.
- We can also add our own DLL or NuGet packages in UiPath.
- For Web scraping, UiPath is the best solution. It gives you the result in few seconds.
- They could implement a find option in the workflow. It is very difficult to find the activities in the flowchart or sequence.
- Debugging, takes too much time. They could implement it how visual studio does it currently. If we put a break point, it should stop at that point. No need to show the process.
- Add option for adding own line of code inside a sequence.

UiPath: Easy to Develop and Perfect in Output
UiPath is being expanded at my organization at a booming level. I and my team are trying to implement this solution to almost all the practices we have in our organization. UiPath has good scope in almost all domains. UiPath is helping our people to not only save effort but also save revenue in terms of a company.
- RPA is an automation solution to your processes. It does very well in the domain where your work is too repetitive, time consuming, has mind numbing tasks, or tasks which are very well defined as a process.
- UiPath does very well when it comes to relationships. It helps your developers, way to well to clears all the domain knowledge by various ways.
- Designing in UiPath is good enough because of the great UX and interactive designing studio.
- UiPath has various platforms to connect with people.
- You may have difficulty when working with unstructured data in UiPath.
- I had problems a few times when developing a solution in a web browser. You can't just rely on one browser, as there can be compatibility issues.

An Intuitive tool
We use UiPath as a timesaver for "swivel chair" operations. We had a lot of manual work where we extract data from a system and put it into Excel and transform the data. Now, a robot takes care of that.
After UiPath proved its value at reading data from applications and we had built up our trust in the tool, we started to make robots that could also put data into the systems. This had major benefits in terms of time savings and quality of data, but also the mood of our employees was an important factor.

This had major benefits in terms of time savings and quality of data, but also the mood of our employees was an important factor.
- Ease of use. It's very intuitive to use, so pretty much anyone can automate their own process (as long as it is relatively simple).
- Fast. You can have a flow running in a day.
- The predefined activities make it easy to drag and drop building blocks for a process. Just set the parameters and you're good to go.
- The academy is free which gives you the opportunity to check it out and get comfortable with it without having to spend a lot of money.
- The community really helps. Most questions you have are already answered (and if not, support is excellent).
- Support generally answers within a day and keeps checking up with you to make sure a solution was reached.
- Even though it is easy to use, programming a robot that can be used by different persons requires a lot more skills. It is not as easy as they make it seem
- Getting to know UiPath with the Robot/Studio/Orchestrator components can be quite complicated and challenging. Fortunately there is the academy, but still not easy
- The different license models are not clear.

UiPath is being used in the finance department for invoice processing. We are using OCR technology to extract data from the invoices and then UiPath will refractor the extracted data. The refracted data will then be onboarded to an ERP software from which the company will be able to track all the expenses and raise invoices against the same. There are a total of six different types of invoices and all the invoices are processed in a single go. After automation, the process takes around 10 minutes to complete the whole process compared to four hours when they are done manually by humans.
- Desktop Automation
- Web Automation
- Excel Automation using macros and scrapping
- Faster data processing compared to other tools
- Wide range of activities and native support for .Net coding
- Improvement in pricing of the tool
- Concurrency of bots
- OCR technology can be improved a lot
- Better tech support for Community version users
