Rating: 10
Author: Mateusz Macheta

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it for automating business processes. It's our go-to platform for doing internal automation, although we also use other leading solutions. It's the best for simple, mindless copying of data between different systems.

Pros and Cons

Allows for integration with systems where no API's available
Easy to learn for new users

Net could be replaced with more popular language
Debugging could allow for variable value changes on the fly

Alternatives Considered

Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism and Kryon RPA Platform

UiPath stands out because of the low cost, interface, and online community.

Support Rating

Did not need to contact official support, but community on official forums is very helpful and responsive.

Likelihood to Recommend

I'd recommend UiPath for HR teams that have to copy data from e-mails to Excel file to use it later or to generate monthly reports from an internal application that has no such reporting feature.

Less optimal for use with SAP application where Ui selectors are not properly recognized - need to fallback to graphical detection. It's also less suited when used with Microsoft Office applications where the whole automation could be written as macro. UiPath is not optimal as it's more costly.
