Overall Satisfaction with IBM Robotic Process Automation

IBM RPA has been of utmost help in automation tasks in the organization I work for; being the data analyst for the team, I have personally used it for automating the exploratory data analysis on weekly updated data. Using the IBM RPA tool helped me to automate the process of running the Jupyter notebook commands and fetching the resultant file with the overview of the cleaned and updated data. RPA helped us to reduce time on repetitive tasks, which otherwise would be consuming almost 3-4 hours every week. I would recommend it to the smaller teams, so the data analyst or scientist within the team could utilize their time for better or less repetitive tasks.

Pros

  • Design process for bots is fun and engaging.
  • It avoids the repetition of tasks, and hence we can be assured of not getting any random human error in the process.

Cons

  • The documentation for performing certain tasks could be made better with more use cases included.
  • Efficiency increase by almost 4-5 Hours every week saving around 15% of time.

Do you think IBM Robotic Process Automation delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with IBM Robotic Process Automation's feature set?

Yes

Did IBM Robotic Process Automation live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of IBM Robotic Process Automation go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy IBM Robotic Process Automation again?

Yes

In my personal experience, while we can use it for frequently repetitive tasks, I would avoid automating the entire process using this. This would mostly be done to save time on tasks, although complete reliability on this could be an issue. So, in my field, I could use it in the process of EDA, for data cleaning, and for graphical analysis, however, won't recommend using it for modeling steps, as that would be on a case-to-case basis for every kind of data.
