What is UiPath Automation Platform?

UiPath's hyperautomation platform combines a Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solution with capabilities to enable organizations to scale digital business operations at speed, automating millions of repetitive, mind-numbing tasks for businesses and government organizations all over the world.

The UiPath Automation Platform enables users to discover opportunities for process improvement by mining communications taking place throughout the business, and through mapping out how employees work, while mining and monitoring every business conversation. This process enables users to capture and manage automation ideas and process improvements in one place, prioritized by impact and ROI .

All created integrations and automations are centrally managed through the UiPath Automation Platform. Users can continuously test and monitor automations and the applications they rely on with the platform's built-in testing.

Through gaining a better understanding of businesses processes, the platform then enables users to

  • Build business apps and automations with low-code, visual tools
  • Combine RPA and API integration for speed and scale across the widest range of systems
  • Remove work from paperwork with intelligent document processing
  • Incorporate AI and machine learning (ML) models into automations
  • Get various kinds of robots to do all kinds of work—from ready-to-go SaaS robots to robots that work alongside their people on everyday tasks
  • Create smarter decision-making and collaboration between people and digital workers


The SaaS option for deploying UiPath's Automation Platform, Automation Cloud delivers the full UiPath Platform—including SaaS robots and self-hosted robots—in under a minute from any of six regions around the world.

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.

Mainly useful for handling repeat process that drains many man-hours. This process is a great fit to be automated with RPA tool. Also, it is well suited for helping you with filling out forms, handling emails, gathering data around the internet, etc.

You can not really use it when the input data is unstructured or the decisions during the process are human-made.

When we are going live with some system changes, business users used to conduct the user acceptance tests, and had to spend a lot of time on testing the functionality to make sure it wouldn't break anything in the existing functionality. We have automated this process by using UiPath, which has saved a lot of business hours.

Suited :
1. Works best in automating business processes with repeatable business rules and manual processes
2. Processes involving data from Images, PDFs, email, Word, Excel etc.
3. It helps in reducing the FTE efforts for an organization leading to cost savings.

However, any processes which require human knowledge/expertise will be difficult to automate with UiPath.

I have used UiPath usually in automating various manual processing activities for Support system where they spend a huge number of hours in manually doing import and export work. Secondly, I have used it for automating the process of functionality which needs OCR support in either searching from printed documents or using them for saving it in a digital and editable format. From my experience, it is less appropriate for process like devops, monitoring etc. There are better tools available in the market for automating them.

UiPath is suitable for automating web pages and desktop applications like Word and Excel: it has a big library when manipulating Excel and data records.
I don't see UiPath being very useful when using a Citrix environment, because you will be using image recognition and OCR, and those features require high tech tools that could be paid such as the Abbyy OCR engine.

UiPath has a great advantage that building your automation involves mostly dragging and dropping pre-defined activities, so there is no need for having people with actual coding experience. This enables you to train business users into actually automating their own processes. The best scenarios where the tool is applicable are repetitive, rule-based and well-defined processes. Probably the worst scenarios are where you have non-native PDF files and you need to rely solely on the OCR capabilities, which are not 100% accurate by definition.

In general, regarding a straightforward process, and let’s say a simple process, UiPath is ideal. It can cope with more complicated ones as well of course. However, when a process requires to act upon a specific element appearance, for example, it feels somewhat more error-prone and time-consuming.

I think UiPath is suitable for any type of organization. Their licensing plans are very flexible and the main thing to describe is the knowledge base available over the internet. They also provide tutorials and training free of cost. This made the availability of UiPath to developers huge. Since they are introducing AI/ML to the platform, it can be used in any scenario.

Well suited in places where UiPath bots replace the repetitive boring stuff which humans normally do daily. More like a person sitting next to me who does the work faster, more efficient and accurately, with greater productivity.

Less appropriate in places where a physical human intervention or a human decision making is required, which might affect the end to end process automation chances. Until human decision making is taken over by technology :)

When OCR recognition is required (such as PDF handling), UiPath works well with its structured-data functionality. When the number of variables is exceedingly high, the readability decreases. Complicated processes are hard to manage as it is impossible to navigate through the nested windows.

The UiPath is more appropriate when you are using multiples systems, because the license is very expensive, and to use the full potential of the UiPath, that is how you to use it. When you have only one system to use, it is better to look for other tools that are cheaper.

Repetitive data entry and data transfer between different applications are the main use cases for us. This is where RPA provides great value by replacing human labor with automation, resulting in shorter execution times and lower error rates.

I think it is very useful in all scenarios. At the moment there is the ReFramework template that is very useful as a template for implementation and at the same time, you can develop workflows using Flowcharts and Sequences.
This is a full options experience that is also suitable for those who have no competency in programming.

Integrating different applications that would be hard or costly to integrate natively is a major use case.
For applications that can be easily integrated (e.g. by using APIs, import/export, etc.) UiPath won't provide a high added value.

Well suited- Native Citrix automation, ability to work on virtual machines. Working with a legacy application with the help of OCR activities and text-based actions.
Less appropriate- Cognitive automation like speech to text/text to speech, was not useful in my projects. Recording option is also not stable with selectors.

UiPath Enterprise RPA Platform was good when I was using this tool with SAP automation or other web applications. The problem is that the websites with flash components are not recognized by this tool at all. I appreciate the use of UiPath, especially in Citrix environments.
