UiPath, like any other RPA tool, is intended for the automation of repetitive processes with well-defined standards. It has good communication with Emails, PDFs, Office, Google and Microsoft OCR, and some other tools as well as .NET. Not recommended for confusing processes with lots of user interaction. Processes that require some level of cognition are not recommended to use UiPath.

We are using it for business processes which are recursive with bulk data. It provides faster output with reduced Average Handling Time and very less probability of error. For processes with bulk inputs, it's a very good option to save FT benefits.

If I want to speak about some specific scenarios where UiPath Enterprise RPA Platform is well suited, I would say that it is really good for basic day-to-day task automation, such as copying and inserting data from various sources. It is also great for Virtual Machine automation capabilities when they are needed.

If you need to automate a very repetitive process with a high volume UiPath is the best way to go, or if you have something to automate in Citrix, then it also can be done easily. But if you have a process that requires human thinking then UiPath is not the way to go right now. It does not include actions that have an AI to decide on more complex cases.

Data entry and data copying between legacy apps with poor integration support is where UiPath excels. There's a very high return opportunity here because you'll end up both reducing headcount and process execution duration. For tasks where human judgment and intuition is key, UiPath won't be much of a help.

Well suited for big clients who can afford this to easily improve processes. Everyone can be trained in this tool, hence less dependency across various projects. They could Introduce small packages for mid-level companies/government organizations.

UiPath is well suited for automating almost all the web applications. Human-like recognition selectors keep this tool ahead of other RPA tools on the market. As there is a free version of this, tool developers can easily learn and get completely hands-on before accepting a project. The only scenario where I felt UiPath still needs improvements is in automating Siebel 7.8 CRM. This looks like a web application, but in fact, it is not. It works on IE but uses Siebel DLLS.

In the RPA environment, UiPath is such a powerful tool. Allows for web apps, desktop apps, and virtual apps to be automated in any possible way. There's a lot of support and documentation as well. For "background" business processes UiPath works perfectly. However, if we decide to use it as a RDA tool, it could lack some features like Window Design and interactions.

UIPath is well suited for processes that have a unique structure, that are not going to change through time, and where the information provided has the same format. It is also appropriate for automating simple office tasks such as opening and sending email, extracting information from them, and resending it. If you work in a local environment you can implement the RPA bots in a easier way, but if you have remote desktop apps to handle with UIPath, it will be quite difficult, because there are a lot of issues about work involved in such scenarios. Another scenario when UIPath is not appropriate is when the business processes needs human logic or analysis for being completed. We are still far [from getting] the bots to think or decide as a human so do not take the risk.

As stated before, overhauling an existing payroll process that relies on the manual processing of dozens if not hundreds of client/consultant invoices each month was a huge win for time-saving in our organization. This is because UiPath excels at automating repetitive tasks that can be quantified and controlled. If you think UiPath can help with answering client questions through an automated support bot, the email infrastructure and analysis is not there yet, and I would personally go with other sources for automation.

When I started working with UiPath I realized that it was a tool that would make a big difference in the market. Using it since 2015 I realized that the main focus of UiPath is to bring ease in the development of the robot. And that's exactly what the tool provides us. In addition, the online academy is a great differential. With free courses and a wide range of courses available, it is very easy for anyone to learn what RPA is and start applying it on a day to day basis. The Community version of the tool is also a great advantage compared to other tools available in the market.

In addition to the strengths mentioned above, the ease of integration with other tools is also somewhat surprising. Creating Custom Activities is something very easy to do. To this day I have not seen any situation where it was not possible to use UiPath to resolve because of this easy integration.

I can not stop commenting also about the Forum. There you can connect with several people who also use UiPath and share experiences. With just a few clicks you can find the solution that bothers you so much, as well as being able to share your own experiences.

In conclusion, I believe that UiPath is the market leader precisely for bringing ease of development and especially for listening to its users.

I've been working with UiPath since 2015. When we compare this RPA tool with others available in the market, we can see that the big difference is community-focused work. In addition, we can see that Uipath has been perfecting itself very quickly, which makes it a bit difficult to keep up with so many changes in such a short time. I would not say that this is a disadvantage, but that it is necessary to be in constant learning. Another point I wanted to mention is that the Orchestrator is a bit expensive, since it is necessary to purchase it separately. We should also make it clear that Orchestrator is only worth it if we have at least 50+ robots in operation. The lack of a resource that manages fewer robots is something that would be needed.

UI path is well suited in automating data processing that is less critical to business. It is also well suited to repetitive tasks which do not involve any decision making logic. UI path is less appropriate in audits and IT security as we cannot automate functionalities that are critical to business. However, data extraction can be done.

UiPath is suitable to any need, but it is notably better in automations that run in the background with the "'simulate click" and "send window messages," that can be used in various scenarios, as well as its integrations with plenty of excellent OCR engines. UiPath would not be appropriate on some low-budget projects, but in the long term, it has proven to be better due to the low maintenance and rework rate required.

We have been able to automate some of the tasks we do here in the company. We can replace human workers doing labor-intensive repetitive tasks, and focus them on other more difficult ones — no need to spend money on training new people. Also, if you're looking for more accuracy, UiPath will help you build really good bots which will improve your workflow.

It's still not very good for working inside Citrix environments, but they are working on it.

UiPath is well suited for repetitive Tasks that are done in environments like Excel, SAP or Access i.e., as there are add-ins that support these programs and make automation easy. Image recognition and OCR activities could be a little more accurate, especially when it comes to the scraping of scanned PDF documents. All in all, they are working well already (especially compared to other Automation Tools), but there is still room to improve.

UiPath as a RPA tool

For any manual task or process, UiPath is the best choice compared to other available RPA tools, like for automating ticket generation processes, system health checks, log rotation, report generations, etc. It's a new path full of opportunities waiting to be explored.

Clients have to understand that any RPA tool can only automate those functions which are already present in the applications, and they do not add new functionalities in existing code.

When your organization has a lot of monotonous, manually done tasks, UiPath comes into the picture. With that, you can easily automate tasks, which are taking a lot of time to do manually and have low added value (such as copying invoice data to backend systems, etc.). It is less appropriate when it faces that kind of tasks, which needs a lot of human actions and has a lot of decision points. In that situation, you should decide whether is it worth it to automate that task, or not?

UiPath is perfect for automating processes that rely heavily on business rules like filling reports, filtering and creating sheets of data, generation of datasets by capping the source of the data, etc. Where UiPath struggles is with subjective processes that require more human interaction like the classification of invoices based on their content. This could use a better implementation of cognitive technology and IA.

Web scraping and table generation are quite intuitive and easy to deploy but information that is extracted from documents through OCR is unreliable. The possibility of integration with API and other APP is a strong point of the tool that generates greater freedom in development. The development client interface is a little polluted and the organization of the activity stream is confusing and requires more attention from the developer in script creation and in the change of activities done previously.

Daily reconciliation Report:
  • With automation you can create a daily reconciliation report with no error. UiPath helps with retrieving a report from SAP, our mainframe, web sites, etc., and VBA macros which helps to create reports very quickly...very useful for back office work.

UiPath can be used to automate almost anything, from web interactions to read/write to/from excel files. It can also interact with a Citrix environment.
Before the Computer Vision functionality was added in the latest version, it was sometimes hard to automate using the Citrix environment, but since the new functionality was added, this is also very easy.

The best scenario to use UiPath is, in my opinion, Excel lists, which offers sorted data to work with. In the best case, there is another program which offers a mask to take this data. UiPath is the interface between Excel and the program. A scenario where UiPath is less appropriate is when you want to automate processes with Citrix apps.
