Overall Satisfaction with UiPath Enterprise RPA Platform

It is one of the RPA tools that we use in our organization for automating some of the processes in HR and Finance departments which requires going through a large set of documents, majorly invoices, payslips and onboarding documents. Our major focus is generally to automate those processes which are rule or pattern based and time consuming. To date, we have automated a huge number of processes and saved our manpower from doing tedious work which involves almost zero creativity.
  • The user interface is very user-friendly and simple to use.
  • Support from UiPath community is pretty good.
  • UiPath is pretty easy to learn. Even the training content provided along with the application is very good and effective.
  • Almost any rule based process can be automated with the help of UiPath.
  • You don't have to wait for the results to get generated. It generates the results in almost a couple of minutes.
  • The way error logs are generated can be improved a bit, because it is kind of a challenge for a non-technical user to identify the errors.
  • Other advanced OCR tools like ABBYY could be provided along with the application, as currently one needs to pay for it separately.
  • While working on few legacy platforms, one sometimes faces difficulty finding the object locators.
  • People who used to spend their time on non-productive tasks could now spend valuable time in doing more productive tasks.
  • It created a 25-30% cost savings as the need to have more people doing basic stuffs got addressed by UiPath.
  • We always want our business processes to be flexible and scalable. Both were achieved with the help of UiPath.
Automation Anywhere was more of a script based tool, while UiPath has visual process designers. In terms of accessibility, there are both browser and mobile access to UiPath, which is not the case with Automation Anywhere. The cost of deployment is very high in Automation Anywhere whereas there is entry-level pricing in UiPath.
Support is always committed to solving our problems. Whenever we needed it, we were well cared for. The best part is that it is 24/7. Even the UiPath online community is fantastic. I found several posts which clarified my doubts.

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.
