Overall Satisfaction with UiPath Process Mining (formerly ProcessGold)

UiPath is used primarily for its RPA tool and Cloud Orchestrator, which makes it a good tool to use for our cloud environment.
It is being used across the organisation to realise efforts within the company, as well as for the company's clients.
We've helped realise over 10,000 hours of efforts for our clients, which help in utilising resources for more serious or important work that requires complex strategies/human interference and is not rule-based. This allowed the employees to work on deliverables instead of mundane and repetitive tasks.
Apart from conventional RPA, it also supports API consumption and BAPI usage, which opens the developer to whole world of possibilities in implementing and designing a solution that is going to realise the maximum efforts with the least risk of failure.
  • UiPath's GUI navigation and development in core RPA fields is very strong.
  • Activities like Computer-Vision really enhance the already very good Image-based automation.
  • Custom activities provide additional support and features.
  • UiPath supports API consumption, which allows for non-conventional GUI Automation.
  • UiPath supports BAPI consumption, which allows for non-conventional SAP GUI Automation.
  • Orchestrator is very powerful, makes running, scheduling and managing processes, users, robots effective.
  • UiPath GUI automation could intelligently identify a change in selector instead of failing.
  • Could have easier side-by-side development within the same file/code (like Git).
  • Could have improved versioning.
  • Can improve robot tray interface.
  • Can improve forum interface.
  • Over 10,000 hours of efforts realised.
  • Increased employee performance and throughput.
  • Better customer/client support on deliverables.
It is an easy to use RPA tool, with a low learning curve and allows for you to jump-start your career in automation. The tool has software integrations built by UiPath as well as the community that can be used to effectively achieve and automate processes. It is easy to use, easy to maintain, and does not require coding or a core development background to start using.
I have worked with the UiPath support for a few problems and the support team was readily available, actively supported me tackling the problems encountered during development, and even stretched for hours at end to resolve the problem. The support team would also schedule a follow-up call(s) as required to ensure that the items raised were effectively completed.

It's an easy to maintain and easy to use RPA tool. It has a relatively low learning curve when compared to other RPA tools in the market. That is mostly due to its academy where the bulk of engineers gather their information from. And their Community Forum is outstanding with support from around the world and almost, if not every, topic imaginable in the RPA field.
The Community Edition is updated on a regular basis, and last year they even managed to release a build every month!
The Orchestrator, Platform, Go!, Academy is cloud-based which makes access to information and data very easy.

It can be difficult to scale projects sometimes, due to the sheer complexity and other variables involved in the deployment process.
The license related, or very high machine/deployment, server, or admin related training aren't available which slightly inhibit the progress to those areas of the tool.

Unstable environments or target applications that frequently change, non-rule based or frequent changes in rules -- may not be a good candidate for automation.

I raised an issue when the UiPath Studio would not pick the selectors from a target application, and upon reaching out to the support team, it lead to 5 day 6 hour back to back calls wherein the team was very involved in ensuring the hows and the whys and gave workarounds and came back with solutions. Very happy with support.
