Overall Satisfaction with UiPath Enterprise RPA Platform
UiPath is one of most widely used RPA tools. Compared to its other competitor, the pricing is just right. It can handle big tasks and automation process, from low complexity to high complexity. With it you can easily automate other business applications such as MS Outlook, SAP, MS Exchange, PDF forms and other MS Office, websites and other windows based forms. UiPath has been an amazing tool and has been helpful in providing solutions especially in the finance and accounting area. We have had great feedback from our clients abroad and locally because of the solutions we have provided using UiPath. From a consultant point of view with little to no experience at all in the technicalities, this tool is easy to comprehend. As a developer, it is very easy to learn and use. The tool itself provides different built in activities that are very helpful in providing automated solutions to clients. One of the most used activities would be the Excel ones. Since, if not all then most, clients proces their day to day business tasks in Excel. From processing payments to creating employee reports. Because of this repetitive and manual business problem, Excel activities in UiPath come in handy. Aside from great features, UiPath provides learnings which you can follow and enroll for better and deeper understanding of the tool.
- Automating Excel applications is made easier through the use of UiPath
- Inspecting and spying web forms elements
- Scraping data from a PDF form through the use of OCR
- Debugging mode would sometimes take time. Hope they’d allow developers to edit a workflow while on breakpoint.
- Provide simple activities for Excel like renaming or deleting a worksheet or formatting a column or cell.
- Provide more activities that would help with automating black screens.
- For a processes that would take at least a week to be completed, turn around time has reduced to 2 hours.
- Some staff members were given to a higher and much more complex process.
- Added “staff” without spending on new or adding headcount.
UiPath compared to its competitors such as Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere, OpenSpan PEGASystems, NICE Systems and the usual VB.Net automation, can handle complex processes with a workflow that is easy to understand with a pricing that is just right. And training does not cost very much to learn such a tool.
