My main use cases for UiPath Platform in my current organization involve automation, so it helps with use cases where I don't want to do too much coding, where it's easier to pick up and I want Orchestrator. 

An obvious example of automations I've done is onboarding. We onboard users with various applications through UiPath Platform. So the ticket will come in, the bot will pick up the ticket, it'll go to all these applications, give you the access you requested and then it closes the ticket as well.

Originally for onboarding, we had many errors happening where the wrong access was given or admin access was accidentally approved. Now, when the bot picks it up, it'll check stuff like that. And if it's admin access, it will go to an extra approval step. Before, it might have been accidentally slipped through and it would be a lot of user error in that case. So now we don't have any errors for onboarding.

The features of UiPath Platform that I find most valuable are probably the orchestration part. You're able to see everything happen in real-time. You're able to see the logs as well. Everything's all in one application.

It's difficult to say where UiPath Platform could improve. Many of the improvements that I want are something they're planning to have done. 

An example would be Agentic AI; it was something that I wanted a bit ago. An integration with various other software that they spoke about today includes Google Cloud, Salesforce, and similar platforms. It's still coming out. I don't see everything, so it's hard for me to pinpoint something specific that they don't have on their roadmap.

I have been working in my current field for almost eight years now. I have been using UiPath Platform for six of those years, or five of them.

I would assess the stability and reliability of UiPath Platform and its bots or automations as pretty good. I would say reliability is very based on the developer. In terms of software, how it was built.

The plan is always to expand more. There's always something to do. As the company grows, so does the workload. So there's definitely a lot more work now. We currently sit at probably about 30 to 50 bots. We're looking to expand, probably double over time.

Prior to adopting UiPath Platform in my company, I had used other automation software, such as Power Automate, Automation Anywhere, and Python has a bunch of libraries that are available. 

We've used what we consider the best tool for the job. If it's within the Microsoft environment, we'll go towards the Azure stack rather than UiPath Platform. My current company, when I joined, already had UiPath Platform. They saw that UiPath Platform was pretty much a big leader in the space for RPA. It's a pretty big name.

My experience with deploying UiPath Platform and robots is pretty simple. It's very user-friendly. You don't really need a software background to pick it up. Deploying is just a couple of buttons.

We reduced our onboarding time for new developers from one to three days of the ticket closing to within the hour, 30 minutes.

I have evaluated other RPA solutions to compare with UiPath Platform in terms of both pros and cons; probably the biggest competitor would be Power Automate. It has the backing of Microsoft, which is huge. They have OpenAI, they have native connectivity with their entire environment. So it's a really big pro. The con is they're not very good at orchestration; they're more workflow-based, so that's a drawback. That's where UiPath Platform has an advantage.

My advice for someone who is considering UiPath Platform is simply to do it. A ten out of ten for me would be having native integration with everything I'd want and I don't think that'll ever happen. I'd want is Teams, however, Microsoft owns it, and they wouldn't give it away. 

On a scale of one to ten, I rate UiPath Platform an eight. It's a really good platform in terms of what it does and what it's offering now; it's getting better.

My main use case for UiPath Platform is to build RPA bots.

The features of UiPath Platform that I value the most are the scheduling features and the ability to bring our own LLM. 

Having the ability to bring our own LLM has helped reduce some of our costs. It was cheaper and we felt we had better results with the LLM.

My overall experience with using UiPath Agentic automation capabilities is that it was very easy and rapid to develop, and we achieved a more sophisticated end result than when we tried to use other AI tools to do a similar thing, which were not nearly as sophisticated or accurate.

My advice to another organization considering UiPath Platform is to focus on how they start up the program and what automations they choose to develop first. We went for the big wins with automations that would return a lot of resource hours, however, in hindsight, we should have brought in partners to track down and develop various use cases for automation. Any turning an ROI within six months should have been developed earlier, as we would have been three years down the road now of saving from those bots instead of having a long list of 30 bots that have been sitting there and not developed.

I have been using UiPath Platform for three years.

We have only had one big issue where the Google Suite products caused the bots interacting with the Google Suite connectors to fail, but we could never figure out why. We just ended up having to upgrade each of the bots, and thankfully they ended up working after that.

UiPath Platform has scaled really well with our growing needs. We went from two bots to three licensed cores, and so far, just those three cores have been able to support all of our 35 bots. We are adding about 10 to 15 bots a year.

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate my customer service and technical support experience as a ten. 

Every time I reach out to UiPath, my account rep quickly finds the right resources, gets us on a call in a timely manner, and helps us work through whatever we need. They schedule follow-up meetings to ensure we do not need more help.

Positive

The process with expanding has been pretty painless. We have our own CI/CD process that integrates with Git, GitHub, and our own pipeline, and it works really well, making pushing new bots not a problem at all.

We definitely have seen a return on investment with UiPath Platform. Over the three years, we have implemented 35 bots and are saving about 24,000 resource hours annually, and that does not even include the revenue that it has also probably helped generate.

Lately, we have looked at other solutions, including some of the Gemini products, to see if they had capabilities. We looked into them for performance, cost, support, scalability, and more citizen development capabilities. While Gemini has easier citizen development capabilities, what ends up getting developed is really not robust and often not enterprise-level use cases.

We do not use the testing features, however, we do use Autopilot and the Agent Builder within UiPath Platform. The deployment model for UiPath Platform is in the cloud. It is our own cloud and our own instance in AWS. 

We have not implemented the Agentic automation yet, so we do not really have metrics; the Challenger is the sales template that we implemented or technique. 

I would rate UiPath Platform overall as an eight out of ten. We have primarily Mac users throughout our company, and some features like Task Mining are not usable because it is Windows-based.

Currently, we are using mostly RPA, which is fixed automation, outcome-based. We know what the input and output are. This will do that regular task, so that is what is current. Earlier I was preferring RPA, however after seeing agentic's potential, I wanted to explore more on agentic AI and how that entire business workflow can be automated. 

Currently, we are in food manufacturing, and we have many business functions such as order-to-pay or procurement-to-order. We are doing all these things by having third-party software such as an ERP suite, Snowflake, and other tools. 

I want to explore how we can use Maestro to bring up that entire business automation workflow. We are trying to achieve the same business flow that is happening. I wanted to try it with Maestro. 

We went with UiPath Platform for a specific use case. We were already doing it, however, there was significant manual involvement. So, for us to implement UiPath Platform was to find software or a tool that can automate all these things. 

For our use cases, we were previously using different tools and a tech stack. It made a difference, though not drastic, with about a 2 to 3% change over in the three or four use cases we are doing. It was previously a manual process combined with specific tools. With UiPath Platform, we are using RPA bots and have removed all other tools.

As a business-based person who handles engineering and IT from the business side, I can say that improvements would be beneficial in the automation of the entire software development life cycle through more agents, similar to the testing automation currently being done.

The activities we have implemented are pretty straightforward. The testing time and process were somewhat challenging. While deployment was straightforward and easy, the testing part, particularly testing the functional use case, was difficult. 

Writing test cases and dealing with failures was challenging. We had apprehensions about whether it would work well with the current setup, even with some latency. 

I have been using UiPath Platform for the past eight months.

We maintain metrics and KPIs for these bots, monitoring their functionality and performance. We compare metrics between previous and current states, which shows significant improvement. We have not experienced any stability issues so far.

While we are not using the full set of functions or functionality of UiPath Platform, only utilizing a limited part of RPA bots, we have experienced good scalability with what we are using.

I have been using the community support, which I would rate between seven to eight out of ten. 

The response is good as they have a large community. When questions are posted, someone always tries to help. The notification system is effective, alerting users when someone from UiPath Platform has posted a potential solution to their thread.

In terms of technical support, we haven't reached out so far so I can't say how they are.

Positive

It made a tremendous change in the way that we are doing the deployments. Right now, are doing on-prem deployments. It's connected, yet we eventually wanted to move to UiPath Cloud or maybe AWS. 

It's pretty straightforward for whatever the activities that we have made, and we didn't have much. Testing was pretty straightforward and easy yet testing the functional use case made it a little difficult.

The change came from business requirements when customers indicated that the current process was not optimal. We then started exploring alternative solutions, which led us to implement UiPath Platform.

We wanted to remove that manual intervention or bring up some human touch there. First, we did a prototype to see how the end-to-end workflow was happening for one use case. Then we tried to derive metrics, such as how much time we are saving in terms of resources and for the entire flow. It made a significant difference for us at that point in time. Usually, it used to take many minutes and had to interact with numerous tools and technologies. When we implemented UiPath Platform and RPA, it showed substantial improvements from a metrics perspective regarding time savings and overall efficiency.

I cannot provide specific advice about certain aspects as we have not extensively explored all features. We have not had to raise any support requests so far. 

Every business and company has its own requirements. The best suggestion is to understand the full functionality of UiPath Platform and carefully consider the areas where it should be implemented rather than utilizing it everywhere without proper evaluation.

Based on the overall functionality and features being used, the reviewer rated UiPath Platform an eight out of ten, indicating satisfaction with the solution.

My main use cases for UiPath Platform involve lots of document extracting, and business processes, claims, and similar tasks.

The features of UiPath Platform that I prefer most are definitely IXP or Document Understanding. 

We have a Comms Mining use case that is pretty cool, and I appreciate how it's all-inclusive in one tool to orchestrate everything together.

The features of UiPath Platform benefit my organization by increasing accuracy with data and reducing our ROI. For example, we have one business process in Blue Prism that we migrated, and it runs on four bots, 12 hours a day, processing claims. This has taken the place of employees doing repetitive work and freed them up to do more intelligent tasks.

I feel UiPath Platform can be improved. Sometimes they concentrate too much on the citizen developer and not enough on enterprise developers or enterprises, as we consistently deliver suggestions to their product team that could make improvements.

In the next release of UiPath Platform, I would want to see something that I could feed a Process Design Document into, and it could determine if this is better suited for an RPA process or should fit in my scope.

One thing I would want to see fixed in UiPath Platform is the licensing, which seems excessive. Although they need to stay ahead, they move too fast, and sometimes things aren't as stable as they could be.

I have been using UiPath Platform for three years.

I haven't experienced any downtime, crashes, or performance issues with UiPath Platform, but the only recent issues we've had are running out of AI Units, which disables the automation.

We have expanded usage, starting with a couple of development teams and now we're up to about 20 squads doing automations. The process has been pretty smooth; we just have to purchase more licenses.

I would evaluate customer service and technical support as great. We have a tech lead we work with for UiPath Platform, and he's been awesome. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate customer service and technical support a seven. 

I feel sometimes instead of bringing issues back to the product team, they provide temporary solutions, and they should take our feedback more to the product team and implement it at an enterprise level.

Positive

Prior to adopting UiPath Platform, I was using Blue Prism. The factors that led me to consider a change were that Blue Prism was feeling outdated, though we hadn't updated it for five years.

In the beginning, it was a bit rough. There was lots to figure out and lots of security issues going on with just dealing with, like, opening things up and allowing security to allow us to do that. So that was pretty painful. After a year, it's been pretty smooth.

I have seen return on investment with UiPath Platform. 

Currently, our group is saving about 1.5 million a year through all of our automations that we've implemented through UiPath Platform.

I didn't have to deal with any pricing, setup cost, or licensing. The licensing is excessive with UiPath Platform. They have an Insights license, Robot license, and a development license. It seems you need a license to do anything different on the platform and that's frustrating.

The decision was made by others at our company. We migrated off Blue Prism since UiPath Platform consistently ranked high in Gartner and Forrester's right quadrant. 

What stood out in my evaluation process when comparing the platforms is that UiPath Platform is more developer-driven than Blue Prism. I appreciate that, especially managing packages and not having the client and server have to be on the same version as in Blue Prism, and their push for GenAI now is impressive, which I think will help us and our customers.

My advice to other organizations considering UiPath Platform is that it depends on the use case, but if they are looking to use it for end-to-end business processes, I would definitely encourage it, just because of the orchestration piece and being able to connect everything together in one platform. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate UiPath Platform overall a nine.

My main use cases for UiPath Platform are a number of unattended bot processes that do a lot of replacing manual data entry for the underwriting and claims process. 

Besides that, we have a few use cases for generating employee certification letters, along with downloading a number of partner year-end statements, income statements, and things like that. 

As agentic automation is now coming to the forefront, we're definitely looking to move to that case, going from just using AI and also the agentic piece of it as well. We do have a few use cases in mind, however, we are trying to find the right fit, and part of this conference is helping us figure out. 

We are getting ready to use Autopilot as part of Test Manager, Test Suite, since we just moved to the cloud for our Orchestrator, and now we'll be able to utilize Test Manager in the cloud as well, which includes the Autopilot piece we are going to be using. The department processes we will automate with this capability include software testing.

The feature of UiPath Platform that I prefer the most is Studio, as being a developer at heart allows me to see an idea come to fruition and see it working on a daily basis. Some benefits I've realized from using UiPath Platform include the elimination of data entry errors, giving folks time back to remove those mundane tasks, and allowing them to have high value in things they were hired for or find other ways to contribute to a better steward of the dollar within the company.

We have used UiPath Academy courses; they are lengthy to complete, but we have had some people go through the Academy courses to get certified. The biggest value I've gained from using the Academy is that it's just a great resource, not necessarily just taking the classes, but there are also articles and knowledge bases that you can go out to for help getting answers to the things you're looking for.

I am not part of UiPath Community; I am a viewer, not an active contributor. I have definitely realized benefits from the community, as any error I need help on, I put it in there, and somebody else has had it. The beauty of the community is that we're helping build each other up in terms of our skill sets and also running into roadblocks, finding others who can help, even if I don't know that person; the answers are out there.

In my opinion, UiPath Platform could be improved by being more consistent in the presentation of what's coming down the pipeline and when it can be delivered, as well as not changing the names of the products so often. It's confusing when they say, 'Oh, that used to be called this, and now it's that since we've combined it with this.' Ideally, we get more clarity, so that when I talk to a business user, they know what I'm talking about.

I have been using UiPath Platform for the last five years.

My assessment of UiPath Platform's stability and reliability, including its robots, is that typically it's not a UiPath Platform issue; it's more about the business process where the bot may not know what to do if it's not given clear instructions, which could be related to needing new healing agents. 

Overall, from a stability standpoint, UiPath Platform has not given us any issues.

UiPath Platform scales very well with the growing needs of our organization; adoption is our biggest challenge, however, once we do achieve that, it scales well with different systems. The concept of orchestration is a key success factor for us.

I would give UiPath Platform's support a rating of ten out of ten across the board, as they helped with troubleshooting any issues whenever I called them, and thanks to the paid support level we wanted, it's more than paid for itself.

Positive

I have not used a similar solution prior to UiPath Platform; we did not have anything before that.

The deployment is pretty straightforward. Support was with us. We didn't need much of it, however, they were willing to be on the calls with us, especially when we were migrating to the cloud. 

They definitely were a partner that went above and beyond what I would have asked from any other partner. 

In terms of ROI, I would say there have been some dollars saved, although I'd have to look for exact amounts. Especially in eliminating data entry errors rather than emphasizing the dollar return, which is actually hard to quantify, some processes did save around 35 hours over a month, and it continues to grow. 

I wouldn't say we have eliminated errors completely by 100%. We have definitely eliminated about 60 to 75% of the manual data entry errors.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing of UiPath Platform is that I have mainly brokered meetings with leadership versus managing those aspects. My manager helps coordinate that, while I focus on implementing it within the organization.

I have considered other vendors besides UiPath Platform. With our company having a Microsoft enterprise license, Power Automate is a competitor that is a bit more attractive due to being free for users. I think that justifying costs to business users, especially when they see Power Automate as free, is definitely a challenge we face.

It is indeed a challenge when folks come to us with an RPA process; we don't say that UiPath Platform is the only way to go. We assess the use case and note that if it's everything in the Microsoft ecosystem, it makes sense to stay there, so we won't force them to switch to UiPath Platform. However, each renewal comes with the challenge of justifying the decision.

Comparing the two solutions, I find that with UiPath Platform, there's more of a development angle, while Power Automate is very tied to a specific user. With UiPath Platform, you can create a service account, so if someone leaves, I don't have to worry about their email being tied to the process, which is one of our biggest selling points.

My advice to someone considering UiPath Platform is to make sure you get buy-in from leadership, as a lot of people see a hot new tool and pursue it without sustainability. Having top-down leadership support is crucial for longevity, especially when pricing increases or licensing renewals arise. 

I would rate UiPath Platform a nine out of ten, as there are aspects that need improvement, particularly around naming conventions. I don't believe any product can achieve a perfect ten since that implies no room for improvement. I see them moving closer to a nine or ten out of ten.

The main use cases for UiPath Platform are automations within the company across different departments. So far, we have only looked at RPA in UiPath Platform, but Document Understanding is the next one, and Agentic. We are evaluating Agentic right now, but we only have a license for RPA and DI now. We are working on an RPA use case right now, the first use case, while Agentic is under evaluation. We don't have a license for it, but we are trying to see if it's going to fit our use case.

My team and I have used the vendor's UiPath Academy courses. The biggest benefits that I have seen with UiPath Academy are the clear step-by-step instructions on taking you through the different tools available. I think UiPath Platform is the best; based on my research, I think it's one of the best for enterprise-level automation, while we use multiple tools for personal automation, but for enterprise-grade automation, I think it's the best out there.

I am still in the evaluation phase of UiPath Platform, so I don't know how it can be improved or what additional features should be included on the next release right now, maybe next year.

I have been using UiPath Platform for three months.

I will have to wait and see to assess the stability and reliability of UiPath Platform, as nothing is in production yet.

I will have to wait and see how well UiPath Platform scales with the growing needs of the organization.

I would evaluate the customer service and technical support so far as pretty good. On a scale from one being the worst to ten being the best, I would rate my customer service and technical support as nine.

Positive

Prior to adopting UiPath Platform, I was using Kofax to address similar needs.

My experience with the pricing, setup costs, and licensing has definitely been more money, and it has caused some confusion in the company compared to the competitors.

I could see a return on investment with UiPath Platform, but nothing is in production yet; I can see it's coming.

Before selecting UiPath Platform, I considered Automation Anywhere and Kofax, and we looked at all those options, as we even have a Kofax environment currently running.

What stood out in my evaluation process regarding UiPath Platform was definitely positive, and that's why we went with it. The factors I considered when making the change were definitely not cost, because that's way cheaper, but it's more for the enterprise-level automation that is the reason for moving to UiPath Platform. Nothing is live yet with these features, so we're just waiting, maybe a couple of weeks. I don't have thoughts about UiPath Platform user community in terms of value that I can gain by being part of it yet, since it's only been three months. I would rate UiPath Platform between eight and nine out of ten.

We're using the solution for test cases.

The biggest benefit of these features for our organization is giving the ability to the whole company, or whoever needs to see the information about our test cases, one place to go and look. We're not scattering across many different applications and reports. It's all in one place.

The features of UiPath Platform we appreciate most include Test Manager and being able to integrate with everything we need. 

UiPath's user community helps significantly. There always seems to be someone to ask a question and someone to give an answer or reply. It's easy to find answers to questions that might not be standard.

I'm not sure how UiPath Platform can be improved. The Studio can sometimes look cluttered. If there's some way to streamline that or make it a little easier to read some of the modules, it might be better. I do a lot of test case work, and I would love to see more or better reporting of failures or reasons why something failed.

We are technically in the third year of using this solution, or slightly shorter than that. We are still expanding and trying to grow more with what we're doing.

The stability and reliability of UiPath Platform is wonderful. We have very few problems with it. We have more problems with our infrastructure than we do with UiPath Platform.

UiPath Platform scales very effectively with the growing needs of our organization. Our processes seem to grow and what we do with it and the amount of data we handle with the processes we have now and that we're building is almost seamless.

Customer service and technical support are very responsive and quick. Anytime we have a question, someone is ready to pick up a phone or answer a quick email. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate customer service and technical support a ten since it's always accessible, always there, and very responsive.

Positive

We had legacy-type things, such as C# and Selenium for testing, and we really had nothing for RPA before selecting UiPath Platform. Someone who had previously used UiPath Platform came on board and recommended we look at it. Based on their recommendation, we have used it and love it now.

I haven't handled the deployment process. 

I have seen a return on investment with UiPath Platform. While I don't know the exact numbers, some of our processes that would take days now take minutes. Time-wise, we have seen a return on investment.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was perfect. I didn't have to handle any of that.

Prior to adopting UiPath Platform, we weren't using another solution to address similar needs. We first started with UiPath Platform for RPA processes to automate processes. Everything was manual and taking forever. On the testing side, we would use Selenium for testing.

We don't yet use agentic. 

I recommend putting UiPath Platform on your short list and making sure that it's going to do what you want it to do. 

I would rate UiPath Platform nine out of ten, as there are minor things that could be improved.

My main use cases for UiPath Platform in my organization involve automating those manual tasks that people do all the time. 

For example, we have processes that monitor email accounts that automatically pull down the documents associated with those emails and stores them where they need to or uploads them into a database. We have processes that go out to websites, grab information, and bring that down for any reporting purposes or to store in a database, etc. Those are pretty much the main kind of processes for the most part. 

The use cases for Agent Builder involve an automation that we're currently working on for our owner relations department. They receive a ton of emails asking about various information about their ownership, or maybe needing to pass off their interest to a family member, or they've sold their interest. So this agent will receive those emails, get the context of that email, get the sentiment, and be able to route that email to the correct person or department that needs to handle that request. So it could be a revenue question, it could be a land question, it could be all sorts of different questions.

The features of UiPath Platform that I most appreciate include the great user interface, and I've really enjoyed using it as well as the ability to write your own code in there. You're not just stuck with the drag and drop, you can actually write your own. 

We're starting to get into the Agentic processes, so that's been really cool seeing that, getting to know how it works and building out solutions with that.

I have realized huge benefits from using UiPath Platform overall, especially from Agentic Automation. For the email processing mentioned earlier, just this year, we've processed close to 400,000 emails, which equates to about 6,000 hours of employees' time. So that's a huge savings right now, just processing emails. 

We've had processes that someone literally would spend two days out of the month submitting stuff online. That's all they did for two days. We've automated that where they don't touch it at all. They just get a confirmation email at the end of the month that it's been done.

UiPath Platform can be improved in the Studio Web deployment process, as it needs some work. Deploying the agents to the various environments seems not real polished yet. We've had some issues there just clearly understanding. If they put some focus on getting that clearly defined and a clearer process in place, that would definitely help.

I have been using UiPath Platform for approximately four years.

I would assess the stability and reliability of UiPath Platform and its bots as pretty good. We really haven't had any issues too much. We've had some connector issues recently. For the most part, the platform is pretty stable. It's never really hindered our business or anything like that.

As for how UiPath Platform scales with the growing needs of my company, it's not really applicable for the fact that we do all of our stuff on-prem. We have the Automation Cloud, but that's not really affecting where and how our bots run. 

We're kind of at our own constraints at that point. We're able to scale pretty easily and set those new servers up within UiPath Platform relatively quick and easy.

If I used UiPath Platform support, I would evaluate it as not being great. Every company I've worked with, their support hasn't been great, and it tends to be the same way here. 

We do have a technical account manager who's been great. So a lot of the stuff, we discuss with him and he may create a ticket or escalate in a way. When we have done support tickets, I provide all the information they need and then their first question is to provide the same information.

I don't feel they look at what you submit or what you're asking for. It's frustrating. It seems they have a script that they go by and that's all they do.

Positive

I'm really not sure what other RPA solutions were evaluated prior to UiPath Platform. I know in-house we have Microsoft Power Automate. Everything we've done in there, we've moved off and moved to UiPath Platform. We really prefer it. 

A lot of the stuff in Power Automate requires premium connectors, while you don't have that issue in UiPath Platform. Things are just much more streamlined and easier to use in UiPath Platform. There's just a lot more flexibility with UiPath Platform and it's overall a better product, in my opinion.

My experience setting up UiPath Platform has been smooth.

The time saved extracting data points with Agentic AI is probably reducing at least 50% of the person's time that has to deal with this mailbox. They're no longer having to monitor it all the time. They're no longer having to create tickets in SAP to route things. All they're doing is confirming that it's doing what it's supposed to be doing, and that's it.

UiPath Platform was given to me. The business decided on it and they wanted it as a citizen dev platform. IT ended up having to take over and now we have our own development shop for UiPath Platform and the citizen dev is essentially no longer. 

I would advise anyone considering UiPath Platform that it's a great platform. I would recommend it to anyone that's looking into getting into an automation platform. 

Unfortunately, I haven't worked with too many other automation platforms. From what I've seen with UiPath Platform and what I've worked with, it's been great. I'm an advocate for it. 

I would rate this platform a nine out of ten. It's easy to navigate and use, with many useful connectors and activities.

My main use cases for UiPath Platform include automating repetitive tasks, file transfers, and website interactions.

The features of UiPath Platform that I prefer most is the queue functionality, which really organizes and keeps track of what was successful and not. It's very helpful. 

We have a process where we have to enter a website using UiPath Platform in general. Whenever the queue is empty, we actually go to a part of the website where we export all the items that the team would have to do manually, and that gets uploaded into the queue. When there's content in the queue, we start processing the transactions, which is when it starts doing what it has to do. Once that's done, it reads the queue again to see if it's empty. If it's empty, then we look at the website to see if there's more content to download or not. 

Typically, whenever there is something to download, that means there's work the team has to do, creating a self-cycle where it checks to see if there's always something to do.

I have a few ideas on how UiPath Platform can be improved, however, they have fleeted from my mind.

I have been using UiPath Platform for three years.

I assess the stability and reliability of UiPath Platform as very strong. I have not experienced crashes or downtime. It's very reliable overall, although there's an ongoing issue with a selector that doesn't want to be read for one particular website, which we're addressing by submitting a ticket.

UiPath Platform scales beautifully with the growing needs of the organization. 

We have expanded our usage of UiPath Platform, and the smoothness of that process is primarily found in developing processes and collaborating with stakeholders, ensuring everyone understands the growing transaction volumes that ultimately lift the team. However, the volume does increase significantly.

I love everyone in the customer service and technical support teams; they're great. I would rate the customer service and technical support I receive a ten out of ten.

Although we don't submit tickets too often, we work closely with the account technical help, and if I were to rate him and his team, they are always there to provide answers. If they don't have an answer right away, they come back with one after a few days.

Positive

Prior to using UiPath Platform, I was using another solution.

The deployment in general is really straightforward. The one thing that was an obstacle, from everyone I've talked to, is more of a compliance issue, an information security issue, and just getting them on board. Once you get the green light from that side and they green-light certain projects, deploying bots is very seamless. 

As long as you know the basics and what you're trying to tackle, it's very straightforward to publish and run things in production.

I have seen a return on investment with UiPath Platform. For instance, one process I mentioned would take the team 50 tasks per day, which has ramped up to a substantial number of 500 to 600 tasks. 

Even with 50 tasks per day, it would take them a whole day to complete it. There's no way they could have handled 500 tasks, however, the bot does it in less than half a day, and we have approximately 10 to 12 bots tackling that process.

I don't really handle the pricing.

My advice to another organization considering UiPath Platform is to be patient in getting your information security team on board; I had to be patient for about a year. But after that, being able to use the product was worth the wait. So step one is patience, and in the meantime, increase your team's knowledge on how to use the tool, which aligns with my earlier point on UiPath Academy being perfect and really good. 

I would rate UiPath Platform as a nine out of ten.

My main use cases for UiPath Platform involve working within departments within our organization, discovering pain points, trying to automate those, and free their time up. That's what we were focused on for a while. Now we're trying to scale up, and hence why I'm here, to see what all the Agentic stuff is about.

From a developer standpoint, the features of UiPath Platform that I appreciate the most include the ease of building. They've made it a pretty simple tool. The features of UiPath Platform benefit our organization since we can go to production quickly. When we talk to a department, we identify a good use case for it, and it's rolling within a week or two.

I and my teams have used the vendor's UiPath Academy courses. The biggest benefits that I have seen from UiPath Academy are purely knowledge. We hit the ground running fast when we got into UiPath, so it's been a good resource.

In terms of the value that I gain by being part of UiPath Platform's user community, it's shared experiences. Being here, talking to other people in other financial services, has been helpful. If there's one thing my team talks about a lot regarding UiPath Platform, it is staying on top of updates.

In a perfect world regarding UiPath Platform, in Orchestrator, I could select a process and hit the "update all" button. There are some things coming down the line regarding licensing for UiPath Platform where our current license structure is being sunsetted. There's just a lot of confusion over that. 

A little more clarification around licensing and how we can best take advantage of it for our organization's purposes would be helpful.

I have been using UiPath Platform for two and a half years.

I assess the stability and reliability of UiPath Platform as very stable. I have not experienced any downtime, crashes, or performance issues with UiPath Platform, not at the fault of UiPath.

UiPath Platform scales very well with the growing needs of my organization. I have expanded usage of UiPath Platform. 

The process of expanding was fairly smooth. There are some hurdles that we had to overcome just with different business units and getting adoption going.

I evaluate customer service and technical support for UiPath Platform as pretty good since we have their premier support package. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate customer service and technical support for UiPath Platform a ten. I have no complaints. They're just very expedient. They respond quickly. They're there when we need them.

When evaluating UiPath Platform, the aspects that stood out to me were that we were on Foxtrot prior, and it was changing hands, and we didn't want to be a part of that. We'd have to redo everything anyway. UiPath was also a leader in the market, so we wanted to be a part of that. 

Before adopting UiPath Platform, I was using Foxtrot to address similar needs. The factors that led me to consider a change for UiPath Platform included that they were changing their platform and pricing. So we figured if we were going to have to do all this change anyway, we might as well assess what's out there.

The act of deployment was pretty seamless from my perspective. We have an engineering team that takes care of deploying, so I just turn it on.

I have definitely seen a return on investment with UiPath Platform. We have about 150 processes in production with UiPath Platform. The one department that has the majority of those processes has not had to hire anybody else for those two years. Their people are happy, and we've saved them money and the need for more people.

I personally didn't have to experience pricing and licensing for UiPath Platform, as that was someone in a bigger chair than me.

I did not consider other solutions before selecting UiPath Platform.

We do not use Agentic AI yet. 

My advice to other organizations considering UiPath Platform is that it works. Use it. Simple. 

I rate UiPath Platform a ten out of ten.
