Overall Satisfaction with UiPath Enterprise RPA Platform

There were old applications whose source code was not available and with the help of this tool we were able to automate the process which resulted in saving 200 hrs man-hours every month. It is also reliable and secure which makes Clients amazed about RPA and it gives ample opportunity for Automation.
  • UiPath is easy to use compared to other RPA tools like Pega Robotics. It provides amazing opportunities even for those who are not from a technical background. The use of Orchestrator really helps in deploying large implementations with such ease.
  • RE Framework and Orchestrator. Both are amazing tools that can help you to deploy and execute bots.
  • UiPath Academy. This is one of the best Academies I have ever seen. One can learn and advance if he goes through the courses. One has to study as assessments are designed in that way.
  • There should be an offline Orchestrator provided for big enterprises since some banks hesitate to put their data in the cloud. Secondly, it will help with managing bots as the current provided Orchestrator will face scalability issues in the future.
  • Up until now, it is smooth sailing and clients are more than happy to go ahead with UiPath.
  • Clients are looking for all their manual processes that could be automated.
As of now, UiPath is clearly way ahead of Pega RPA and other RPA tools.
  • UiPath has Orchestrator and RE Framework features which make it unique from others.
  • Pega RPA is quite difficult to understand as compared to UiPath.
  • Pega RPA is not free and their resources are not as readily available as UiPath.
  • Pega RPA's recording feature and image processing are way behind that UiPath.
For any manual task or process, UiPath is the best choice compared to other available RPA tools, like for automating ticket generation processes, system health checks, log rotation, report generations, etc. It's a new path full of opportunities waiting to be explored.

Clients have to understand that any RPA tool can only automate those functions which are already present in the applications, and they do not add new functionalities in existing code.
