  • 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.

It is well suited for repetitive, boring tasks. It can click and type in any field a human could. It does not perform well with tasks that require human thought and decision making. Other bad uses: long chain of events that are not covered by specific rules. The automation process needs to be well documented and optimized before it is a good idea to automatize.

UiPath is suitable for those kinds of activities that one does on a regular basis such as sending reports to a number of mail addresses. Tasks that require decision making are not ideal situations where you can use UiPath although it can be done with attended bots. Understanding the process thoroughly will give you a clear picture of whether UiPath will be applicable or not.

UiPath RPAs have been very helpful for our company when we are looking to automate a process that has no APIs. The ability to utilize any UI screen allows us to take those repetitive and tedious tasks and have them run as unattended bots. Also, they allow us to have smaller budgets for projects and faster dev time.

When a task has existing APIs that could complete the repetitive process without needing to manipulate with UI screens, you should always use the API. Even as great as the UiPath platform is nothing can replace APIs at this time.

UiPath’s main advantage is its user-friendly interface. It doesn’t confuse or stop users from navigating across the tool. Forum is another thing to cherish and rely upon whenever you need any help about anything related to the tool, process, etc. UiPath has an academy portal to learn about new features or functionally being added in the tool, too.

The UiPath Enterprise RPA Platform learning environment is available for everyone and offers anyone the ability to get insights on how UiPath works. Developers can obtain certification to prove their (advanced) skills.
The ultimate goal of UiPath is to provide a robot assistant for every employee in a company, but that might become quite costly. I suggest picking your battles on automation carefully.

It's an easy to maintain and easy to use RPA tool. It has a relatively low learning curve when compared to other RPA tools in the market. That is mostly due to its academy where the bulk of engineers gather their information from. And their Community Forum is outstanding with support from around the world and almost, if not every, topic imaginable in the RPA field.
The Community Edition is updated on a regular basis, and last year they even managed to release a build every month!
The Orchestrator, Platform, Go!, Academy is cloud-based which makes access to information and data very easy.

It can be difficult to scale projects sometimes, due to the sheer complexity and other variables involved in the deployment process.
The license related, or very high machine/deployment, server, or admin related training aren't available which slightly inhibit the progress to those areas of the tool.

Unstable environments or target applications that frequently change, non-rule based or frequent changes in rules -- may not be a good candidate for automation.

UiPath Enterprise RPA Platform is suited for all the processes that handle Excel data from one file to other or from one file to load into other applications, which can be easily automated. It is suited for automating web and desktop applications where data goes through it and out.
It is not suited for AI - still needs a lot of use cases and options to solve this.

Well Suited: I loved the ease and smoothness of the tool. The company has its own academy in which you can learn from fundamentals to advanced level. Each time you complete a level, they praise you with a certificate so that you keep motivated. Personally, I have completed up to level 3 middle. The tool can be accessed easily either you want to schedule a task on VM or your own computer. Generally, I do data scraping and automation tasks, for example, I scraped the twitter data using hashtags. I scraped +ve and -ve tweets to an excel file up to some pages and then analyzed the text into +ve and -ve tweets using Natural Language Text Understanding.

Less appropriate: The first thing I disliked is it is not available on the Linux environment. I prefer to work on Ubuntu and would have liked if it is available for Linus systems. Secondly, There is very less content on Re Framework on Academy. Assignments cannot be done just by reading the text. There must be a demo for ReFramework project.

As mentioned earlier, it is really helpful in automating desk jobs involving HR applications such as Salesforce where the user data is fed into a database. It also saves time and effort when trying to automate ERP processes involving SAP applications.
It is not advised to use UiPath when the website doesn't seem to be stable and the selectors keep changing frequently due to upgrades.

It is best for most of our automation work like for the web automation, desktop automation, Excel automation etc. Currently, it is less capable where cognitive automation is required. It needs some enhancements to provide more helpful AI and cognitive features in order to provide the next level solutions for some really complex and challenging automation work.

Though we use it now for testing scenarios, you can also really easily use it to automate your business processes. Repetitive and error-prone processes can be automated with much less chance of errors. Employees will be happy about it as they can focus on the really interesting part of their jobs.

UiPath is well suited to any process which is structured and repeatable. The benefit provided needs to be more than the costs of development but the introduction of StudioX means that many more processes become suitable as it allows business users to automate their tasks easily. It is not suited to processes that change regularly.

Suited for tasks that are recurring and can be automated. Pretty much anything that can be automated can be done through UiPath. Semi-automatable tasks can also benefit from RPA using attended bots in UiPath. Batch processing of data is also supported and can be automated while still putting some review mechanisms in place for human validation.

It is suitable for weekly or daily tasks which we need to do to ensure quality. Using RPA & task scheduling we won't miss these tasks since bots will execute it automatically without errors and without missing anything. Not suitable if the task is not so frequent & very tedious to develop using UiPath Studio. There have been many automation bots that I spent hours developing but were not used at all.

UiPath works especially well in an OCR or virtual environment based use cases. This is due to its strong image processing capabilities compared to other vendors in the market. It also works well in multi-bot scenarios allowing various bots to sync up and work well together, even if a human step is present in the loop during an end to end process.

So far no cases where we haven't been able to use it except of course where inputs cannot be standardized at all. Their NLP would be required (email context where keywords are not present). For this type of a use case AI base solutions are required.

It's most suited for desktop-based application automation because the elements are stable and the process is fixed. We are able to add a number of conditions, and the failure chances are almost nil as it a desktop application that never gets updated.
It's less appropriate in case of AS400 system especially with 64 bit due to the unavailability of proper .dll file (which is what I learned when I raised this issue with UiPath).

Before automating any process, it is important to analyze the process to make sure it is streamlined and inputs/outputs are digitised. Automated processes should be set up & changed thinking of the long-term. This will really help you to automate the process and save time/money.

Processes that are not streamlined and that have inputs that are not digitised (such as scanned pages or images) don't have good automation results. The inputs don't have a standard format, which makes it very complex to automate. If the process changes frequently, these are less appropriate to automate. It will incur more costs than saving.

I'd recommend UiPath for HR teams that have to copy data from e-mails to Excel file to use it later or to generate monthly reports from an internal application that has no such reporting feature.

Less optimal for use with SAP application where Ui selectors are not properly recognized - need to fallback to graphical detection. It's also less suited when used with Microsoft Office applications where the whole automation could be written as macro. UiPath is not optimal as it's more costly.
