The game changer in the RPA world: UiPath is the affordable, flexible and worthy RPA tool
Overall Satisfaction with UiPath Enterprise RPA Platform
UiPath is being used by different departments of the organization. The infrastructure, Robots, and Orchestrator are shared by the departments, but each department is a separate tenant in Orchestrator.
UiPath is being used by the Finance Department for Reading non-PO invoice details from a SharePoint form, validating it, and sending it for manager approval. Upon receiving manager approval, it is then used to enter the invoice details with invoice and approval attachments to SAP.
UiPath is being used by the sales department for fetching the latest sales values from different locations around the world from the SAP and doing data consolidations to form a dashboard which is then emailed to business leads.
UiPath is being used by the Demand Forecast Department to read forecast data about products for each customer from the excel attachment in the email or from the email body. It will then analyze it, process it and insert it into a database so that the Demand Forecast Team can get data easily without human effort.
UiPath helped the finance team eliminate human errors - the manual actions had caused errors in the Excel formula and it was unknown to the business until the UiPath RPA tool was implemented.
- UiPath provides a flexible licensing model which helps the customer spend based only on their specific needs.
- UiPath has a reasonable license price compared to other leading RPA tools.
- UiPath is an easy tool to learn and use with a great user interface.
- Unlike other leading RPA tools, UiPath provides a great user interface so that a person with minimum technical knowledge can understand the flow.
- UiPath provides a large number of activities which we can reuse as per our need just by changing the properties and parameters
- UiPath provides the flexibility to create custom activities as per our need.
- UiPath supports integration with various OCR, Cognitive, ML, and IOT related services and tools.
- UiPath provides the flexibility to use unattended robots without the need of Orchestrator.
- The UiPath Orchestrator component is a very powerful tool which, if utilized effectively, can make robot management and monitoring very easy.
- UiPath Orchestrator supports APIs and we can get details for those from the Orchestrator database.
- UiPath’ s recording feature is very helpful to begin the automation process and provides options to choose from recorders as per our need.
- UiPath supports version controlling features which are very useful when the project is done by sharing tasks with multiple persons on the team.
- UiPath provides various workflow models such as sequence, flowchart, and state machine.
- UiPath provides a built-in logging facility.
- UiPath provides scrapping of both structured and unstructured data.
- UiPath provides specific tutorial and documentation for SAP automation.
- UiPath supports .Net, Python and JavaScript codes.
- UiPath provides debugging options which allow us to go through each activity in the process flow, highlight each action on the screen along with the flow, and show the values of variables at the run time during the point of execution of an activity.
- UiPath provides the ability to use numerous .Net namespaces by importing them easily into the project.
- UiPath provides the flexibility to create a custom activity from our custom .Net DLL.
- UiPath team is always improving their product with every new version.
- Even though UiPath is based on .Net, it doesn’t support C#.net code yet.
- Nonavailability of a maximize option in the Property edit box, argument value edit box, etc.
- The comment option could be better. When an activity or sequence is commented on, there will be a two wrapping sequence which is unnecessary and also the Display name is always the same. The Display name of a commented section should be the display name of the sequence or the display name of the activity itself.
- No option to make a set of activities "Favorites" in all projects done in a system, you have to set favorite activities separately for each project.
- UiPath tool doesn’t provide an option to resize the activities as per wish, especially "IF" activity is a big box.
- The whole project file, which exposes the code, is available in the server after the published package of a project is imported to the server. It would be good if the actual files and code don't get exposed.
- Unlike other leading RPA tools, the license price of UiPath is not high and so without much investment, we could set up the RPA.
- UiPath bot helped in identifying human errors in the Excel formula which were used by the finance team for years. That helped in the savings.
- Implementing RPA with UiPath tool helped us use our resources to work effectively and spend time on more productive tasks which helped in getting more returns for the organization.
