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. It is browser-based. Alternatively, the Automation Suite version is containerized with Kubernetes integrated, installed in cloud, in on-prem Linux VMs, or on bare metal servers as desired, and offers portal access to all services and integrations.

UiPath is best suitable for small organizations who are trying to get into RPA as there is a community version that is fully functional. For big organizations, UiPath is also a great option as its capability to scale is unprecedented. At this point, my opinion is UiPath should be part of any organization's automation effort as there's virtually no reason why they shouldn't give it a try.

I have to say that I am overall very happy with the software and see little room for improvement. They have implemented a lot of new things over the past months like the "Workflow Analyzer" which checks the developed code for quality standards. However, other innovations, like attended bots, may not fit or work for the intended use.

UiPath is well suited for small scale industries as anyone can learn it. It has integrations with many applications like Upwire, Slunk, K2, etc.

It is less appropriate for large scale industries and SAP applications. With my personal experience, I feel BluePrism is omre secure than UiPath when it comes to storing credentials and client data because they maintain their own servers. Automating SAP applications is easier in other tools as well. UiPath does have an integration with Python, though.

UiPath automation is suitable when the end-user is doing mundane work (support work like monitoring service tickets, generating reports, and solving current or concurrent tickets etc.). For this kind of work, we go for UiPath. Some of the tasks that deal with monitoring some files, directories, clearing cache and/or restarting the system, UiPath is not required.

UiPath is required when we are reading/scanning the body of emails, downloading attachments, reading subject lines, entering data and manipulating data in the excel applications. We also use it when we need to enter and manipulate data based on predefined rules in applications like SAP, Excel, Computron etc.

When we had to read the 250 types of invoice formats of one of our clients, we did not get the proper results using UiPath RPA.

I loved the ease and smoothness of the tool. The company has its own academy in which you can learn everything from fundamentals to advanced levels. Each time you complete a level, they praise you with a certificate so that you stay motivated. Personally, I have completed up to level 3 middle. The tool can be accessed easily whether you want to schedule a task on VMs or your own computer.

As far as less appropriate scenarios go, the first thing I disliked is that it is not available on the Linux environment. I prefer to work on Ubuntu and would have liked if it is available for Linux systems. Secondly, there is much less content on ReFramework on their Academy. Assignments cannot be done just by reading the text. There must be a demo for ReFramework project.

UiPath Enterprise RPA Platform can be used to replace almost all manual tasks, excel handling, mail, migrations from one platform to another, data entry into platforms... almost anything we can think of that doesn't require the robot to think. It can also be used to remove indicators that would not have been done before. From the logs, we have an idea of the path taken by the process and of all the decision points that were taken. From this, we were able to remove/understand indicators more clearly.

It will be less appropriate for complex scenarios where decision making is required. New processes that are not closed loops/tasks become complicated because they imply constant changes to the robot.

UiPath RPA gives you a very friendly environment in which you can design your own bots without coding or with very little code that can be easily found on Google. UiPath RPA is very efficient for data filling and updating as you can perform both with the help of attended or unattended robots. We also use them to shortlist resumes for recruitment in our organization with the help of an attended bot.

UiPath Enterprise RPA Platform is well suited for all types of automation, be it small scale or large scale automation. Its features make it the best RPA tool in the market compared to other tools. But, I do think it's time to update the tool and make it loaded with more features like inbuilt cognitive automation and machine learning.

UIPath is well suited to automate gaps in processes or processes that use 3rd party SaS solutions. It also integrates easily with SAP so it can begin to automate some of the mundane data entry tasks performed by the business daily.

It isn't the answer for everything though. There are other tools that can do automation or have built-in workflows, and there is no reason to break the wheel to put another one in its place. Keep the good things you already have going and use RPA to improve on them.

UiPath Enterprise RPA Platform is very well suited when one has to automate simple Windows tasks, such as receiving emails and storing their content, get and write data to and from Excel files, create and move files across directories, and navigate in applications.
It is less suited in streamed environments, such as Citrix, but UiPath is working hard to improve this point.

UiPath is really a good tool. It does not require coding skills. So, even functional testers can work with UiPath. Its online training sessions are really useful. The UiPath studio user interface is user-friendly. We can easily build the processes using the UiPath studio. And we can run them locally. If we want to run them in multiple machines, we can publish the package into Orchestrator. Once we link the Oorchestrator with robots in our machine, we can easily run the tasks on different machines. And we can see the status of each job in the Orchestrator dashboard which is very clear.

UiPath Enterprise platform is well suited for data entry processes. If you have repetitive tasks to read data from Excel or PDF files and enter them into a database you can use UiPath to automate that task easily.
If you have tasks that are prone to change and are not repetitive, then you can automate these tasks.

Well suited: stable environment, sequential (and not) processes on any type of applications. UiPath is easy to use, intuitive and thanks to the structure formed by sequences and flowcharts. Excellent queue management, especially thanks to the ReFrameWork.
Less: There are some difficulties in interfacing with java-based applications in many cases. Some bugs in some types of operations.

Most back office processes of any type of company: Finance, Banks, Energy, Public Administration, Telecommunications and so on, can be automated. If the process requires the reading of handwritten or badly scanned documents, then it leaves it for a possible "second phase".

In our experience so far we were able to see improved process efficiency levels for the functions where we have implemented Automation across various functions for our customers. They are pretty satisfied and are exploring more use cases from other functions within in their organization. There are few other customers who have a clear roadmap to setup a RPA COE with UiPath as the core function and we are happy to be part of these initiatives as well.

It is well suited for both back end and front end processes, for processes requiring a bot to handle thousands of data. I think UiPath is not suited if data the clients are using are unstructured, since UiPath could only handle structured data. It is also not suited for scraping handwritten scanned images.

UiPath works well with legacy apps without an API to help automate access to data. We see it being a business driven tool and that business users should be trained to use the tool or at least understand some of the mechanics - this helps to reduce the dependency on IT to develop robots.

Use it for evolving tactical solutions where existing processes are based on human tasks.

Not to be used for building new apps.

It can be used to automate high-volume business processes involving large set of documents. It can also be used to automate those processes which involve structured or semistructured data, CSV files, PDF files, etc. The processes which are rule or pattern based can easily be automated using the UiPath tool. We have tried automating a few of our HR onboarding processes like uploading all the personal details of newly recruited employees on our employee portal. Also we have automated some of the finance processes which involved extraction of details from order invoices.

UiPath really shines when working with any enterprise application and especially with web-based applications.

UiPath is less appropriate to work with MS Office products, particularly when Excel or Access have user interfaces with buttons. UiPath cannot deal with them via simulate click, which makes the automation less effective by forcing the robot to take control of the computer and letting it finish, meaning the user has to wait for the robot to finish and can't perform other duties.
