Empowers organizations to automate repetitive tasks, enhance efficiency, and reduce human error

  • October 23, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We have a variety of use cases, primarily in finance and HR, which make up around seventy percent of our use cases.

How has it helped my organization?

Our focus has primarily been on document processing and it has significantly reduced the time spent on reading documents and manually inputting data.

What is most valuable?

The AI center's automation has proven to be highly valuable, although we haven't yet harnessed its full potential. It's exceptionally beneficial, particularly when it comes to handling invoices.

With numerous hospitals generating thousands of invoices, this automation has made a significant impact. Implementing AI in our automation has significantly enhanced the accuracy of our operations.

These improvements have resulted in increased efficiency and a significant reduction in the time needed for these processes. The last time we estimated, it amounted to around 60,000 hours saved.

What needs improvement?

Integrating with tools such as Asana or other service and project management platforms would be a valuable enhancement.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using UiPth personally for approximately a year and a half, while my company has utilized it for around five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability has been excellent, and we haven't encountered any problems.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability is a bit challenging for on-premises solutions. We anticipate that the transition to a hybrid environment and cloud will provide more flexibility.

How are customer service and support?

When we initially engaged with UiPath Professional Services, the experience was excellent, they replayed and assisted swiftly and seamlessly. However, recently that changed. I would open a support ticket, and it would sit untouched for a week with no response. Even after I inquired or raised questions, there was no follow-up. Sometimes, I had to call multiple times a day to get any action. It seemed that some managers had to step in to take control of the situation, and even then, there were delays in responses. I rate it four out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I would rate UiPath eight out of ten.

We use UiPath for automating tasks for customer operations.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable aspect is its ease of use. The utilization of AI has resulted in a time-saving of either four or eight hours per week. When analyzing a customer's job workflow, it's done promptly.

What needs improvement?

There is room for improvement in browser automation, particularly regarding access and success rates. Success and failure recognition are key areas to focus on.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using UiPath for four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is relatively stable, I would rate it seven out of ten, as it should be improved.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I would rate its scalability features six out of ten.

How are customer service and support?

I would rate its support team seven out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

We have experience with NTT-AT WinActor and Blue Prism, but we opted for UiPath because it proved to be more effective and reliable.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was easy.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

It used to come at a high cost, but now it's more budget-friendly. Considering the features it offers, it's definitely a good value for the money.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I would rate UiPath eight out of ten.


    reviewer2298924

We have a centralized location and end-to-end view of a use case, and their support has been excellent

  • October 23, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We are an animal health company. We work to provide various products for companion animals, such as swine and equine. We are a global company.

The business objective that we are trying to achieve with its AI-powered automation is to reduce the effort for our business users. There are certainly a lot of tasks that take them away from some more high-value opportunities within their function and improve the overall customer experience. We would like to be able to look at the data differently and to be able to ultimately improve our customers. That is our ultimate goal.

The great thing about our function within the company is that we explore automation throughout the company and all different business functions. A lot of our use cases are for replicating some of the mundane manual tasks that users do. A lot of them are data reconciliations involving extracting and comparing data from different sources. We are also exploring opportunities to be able to understand and process data better by using some of the UiPath task mining capabilities. That is what we have at the forefront right now.

How has it helped my organization?

It has fundamentally changed what our organization is able to achieve. There is such a global interest in automation. Being able to be at the center of that for our company and allow them not only the opportunity to automate their tasks but also be a centralized location for answering questions and helping people learn has been great.

We have very limited use cases with which we have explored some of the AI-specific features. We have done some proof of concepts with some smaller use cases, and we certainly could see the value on that small scale. We are looking forward to much larger opportunities going forward.

Even in the proof of concept, it cuts down on our time in exploring some of the processes. There is ultimately value for our team internally while doing some of the investigative pieces on some of these processes. There is also the added benefit for the users. We are able to help them faster. It has certainly been very helpful. It is hard to quantify time savings because we are just getting started with some of the tools. For the proof of concept, it saved us about a week. It was a small use case involving looking into the process and deep diving into it. Being able to allow the mining tools to do some of that analysis saved us a lot of time. It did cut down at least a week's worth of research for sure.

This proof of concept was a task-mining proof of concept. The valuable piece that we had from task mining was being able to look under the hood in some processes. In this particular proof of concept, it was a process that the team had done for years and years and years but never took a deep dive into what all the handoffs were. Being able to record and then get that insight and that dashboard view at the end showed us a lot. It showed us where the time was spent in each part of the process and allowed our business users to focus on what within that process could be improved, fixed, or standardized. It was certainly very helpful because it was a passive way of looking at the process. Being able to see the dashboard was certainly helpful for us to communicate or to improve.

What is most valuable?

In my particular job function, Automation Hub has been invaluable. We have set up an Automation Hub specific to what we need within our team to be able to solicit automation ideas from our business users. It helps us to be able to review those ideas, meet with our functions and ask them more questions, and build our value case as well, so Automation Hub has been huge for us. We are working on setting up the insights tool as well.

We see a lot of opportunity there for recognizing the actual value once our use cases are live in production. We have not yet used UiPath's AI Center, but we are certainly looking to do that in the future once we are more established with the tool.

What needs improvement?

We are new to the tool. Currently, we do not have any cons. There is still a lot left for us to explore. We have heard of a lot of features at the conference today, and we will certainly build upon that. As we are exploring, some of the improvements could be in the pipeline within Automation Hub and insights, but so far, we have had a great experience with UiPath.

For how long have I used the solution?

My company is new to UiPath. We procured the software in quarter one of this year, and we are currently working on getting acclimated to the tool. We are doing some data migrations and exploring the ins and outs of the software.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

So far, so good. In terms of stability, there are no issues or concerns.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is absolutely scalable. We have no issues or concerns. There are a lot of opportunities for sure.

How are customer service and support?

Their support has been tremendous. Anytime we have a question or anytime we want to learn something more about the tool, there is no shortage of answers. They have been very helpful. I would rate their support a ten out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Our company does utilize another RPA solution. Our reason for getting UiPath was the fact that it is an automation platform, so having that full end-to-end view of the use case from ingestion to implementation to gathering actual insights and having it all in one centralized location was a big selling point for us. Its task mining, plug-ins, and SAP integration capabilities made it very interesting for us.

I have a little bit of experience with Power Automate. UiPath has orchestration, whereas Power Automate does not. It is another way through which we can bring value to our business areas with our automations. Having everything centralized in one place is a very big feature there.

How was the initial setup?

I worked very heavily in setting up our Automation Hub, designing our questionnaire forms, setting up our users there, and rolling that out to our company. It was very straightforward. Our UiPath account managers have been super helpful and supportive in that. Whenever we have a question, everyone is very responsive and very easy to talk to. They have been very helpful, whether that be in person or in a meeting, or pointing us towards documentation to help us guide us through. It has been great.

In terms of implementation strategy, we logically started in the way so that we understand a process. We started with setting up our Automation Hub within our entire organization and making sure we established governance and the right security. We made sure that our asset was set up correctly within our organization. In terms of the software, we got our Automation Hub set up and we got our environments set up from a maintenance standpoint, and now, we are working on getting our insights set up for us.

What about the implementation team?

We have a partnership within our organization for our team. In collaboration with them, we worked on setting up UiPath. We have partnered with Persistent, and our experience with them has been great.

What was our ROI?

We are still a little bit early with our journey, but it is certainly saving time and effort for the small number of use cases that we do have on the platform.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I do not know the specifics within my role, but from what I do know, everything has been very fair. Especially with the licensing that we have for our team, we have been able to accommodate everybody on our team with the roles and access that they require. So far, so good.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We did evaluate other solutions, but I do not know the specifics within my role. I do know that UiPath was one of the leading ones out there and the capabilities that we have seen were what we were looking for.

What other advice do I have?

To those evaluating the solution, I would advise appreciating the fact that it is a platform. You can track the automation idea from intake through implementation, and then you can gather the insights once it is live or in production. Being able to have everything all centralized in one place is a great way to keep your team organized and truly measure the value of your automations.

I would rate UiPath a ten out of ten. I am enjoying the tool. At the UiPath Conference, I got to know about a lot of opportunities to look forward to. I enjoyed it.

Is beneficial in the financial services industry, especially for security clearing divisions

  • October 23, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

The use cases have been really broad for us. We have been trying to go in a bunch of different directions. The use cases started out small with attended automation, trying to automate a bunch of reports for our operations departments. That's where we started just to prove the concept, and now we're branching out into some of the document understanding.

How has it helped my organization?

We're in the financial services industry. I work specifically for our security clearing division. I do stock trading, bonds, and all that kind of stuff. Our main objective was productivity, trying to prevent from having to hire so many people to run our ops department.

We have also done task mining. It has been really great for us. It's helped not only document what we're going to do for automation but also document processes in general. There are a lot of departments that just don't have any documentation.

We've really been leveraging it in that way to try and get better documentation around all processes.

What is most valuable?

The features we've used are somewhat limited at the moment. We've been doing a lot of basic reports. We automate daily reporting tasks.

A lot of our back-office business is driven around emails right now, and there's no automation whatsoever around any of that at the moment. That's where we're really looking to go.

What needs improvement?

The biggest struggle that we've had is understanding how to get in and properly set up all the architecture and orchestrate everything correctly from the get-go rather than trial and error and then fixing it as we go.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using UiPath for a year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I haven't had any issues with stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have a very small team at the moment, so we're still trying to scale up.

Scalability is open to interpretation because it depends on how your environment is set up.

Personally, we have to deploy a lot of our stuff on our own servers, behind our own firewall. It's left up to us to maintain the scalability, whereas other firms may be able to use more of the cloud robots and not have to worry about it as much.

Scalability has been a little bit of an issue, but it's our own issue, not really UiPath's issue.

How are customer service and support?

The customer service and support are very responsive and helpful. We have run into a few issues where they haven't been able to give us a definitive solution.

For example, one of the biggest issues we've had is that we have a lot of integration issues with our Outlook. I don't know if it's how we set it up or issues with UiPath activities, but we've been struggling there and going back and forth with support.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We use Microsoft Power Automate a little bit. Power Automate has a little bit of orchestration. UiPath is definitely a lot more sophisticated. That's definitely a big advantage at the moment.

Our use case for Power Automate has been very limited at the moment. Mainly, we've been targeting areas where we struggled with UiPath and using Power Automate, mostly in the Microsoft integrations where that works seamlessly out of the box. In contrast, we've run into some hurdles around certain Outlook and Teams-type activities with UiPath.

How was the initial setup?

We're using Cloud Orchestrators so the setup was pretty straightforward. We have its cloud Orchestration by all of our robots running on-prem servers.

What about the implementation team?

There were two people involved in the deployment process.

Initially, nobody bought in on the idea of automation so we started building small tasks that we could show to people. It was mostly attended automation on desktops to let the users see how the program works and get comfortable with it.

We started building a bunch of little automations that aren't huge time savers but demonstrate how UiPath can work for people. That was the implementation approach we took.

Now we've got some buy-in. People understand who we're starting to reevaluate, try and scale the program, and do it the right way this time.

What was our ROI?

We have seen a return on investment. We're mostly calculating the time saved at the moment. Now we're starting to get a little more into the cost-benefit analysis of things because we have a a program running.

For this first year, our biggest metric has been showing upper management the time saved so that we can calculate the number of employees that we need.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is justified at the moment. It's definitely significantly more expensive than other competitors out there, but at the moment, its technology is good enough to where UiPath can justify it. It'll be interesting to see in the years to come, once Microsoft starts competing more, what the pricing ends up looking like.

What other advice do I have?

UiPath is definitely the leader right now. I would rate it a nine out of ten.

If you have the resources, try UiPath. Get some consulting to set everything up properly from the get-go, so you don't have to go back and redo it the way that we've done.

No matter what approach you take, you're going to see some benefit from using it.

Has excellent support, stability, scalability, and a strong developer community

  • October 23, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use UiPath for RCM and it can handle most tasks effectively, especially when dealing with data extraction from PDF files. There might be more complex scenarios where AI could be more suitable, although the implementation might be challenging. We are in the process of evaluating these AI-powered use cases.

What is most valuable?

We have found UiPath to be quite valuable as we actively deploy and use bots, which have become a significant asset to our operations.

We were able to achieve the savings. It has freed up around ten thousand hours of time and resources for other tasks.

What needs improvement?

Improving financial and recording operations through the use of charts would be advantageous.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using UiPath for approximately two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is excellent.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability is impressive, and it only requires the appropriate licensing.

How are customer service and support?

The support is quite commendable, and they are very prompt in addressing issues. I would rate it eight out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward.

What was our ROI?

ROI is significant when the use case results in substantial cost savings, but it's important to note that not all use cases deliver such hard savings.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The cost is on the higher side.

What other advice do I have?

My recommendation is to thoroughly assess use cases and choose the right tools to prevent possible setbacks. Overall, I would rate it nine out of ten.


    reviewer2298915

Has a strong focus on innovation that ensures scalability and efficiency

  • October 23, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

We had two distinct automation needs. First, we aimed to simplify the process of obtaining weekly updates on new employees. This involved automating navigating a portal, identifying new employees, and distinguishing between contractors and full-time employees and aims to streamline maintaining an accurate and current employee database for your company.

The second use case focused on case number categorization. We needed to categorize cases originating from sources like SSM, DC Salesforce, and others into different categories, such as origin-related or finance-related, to prioritize and address them based on their urgency and type.

What is most valuable?

It offers an advanced and in-depth set of features, allowing for intricate and specific automation tasks. It is designed for a more user-friendly and localized experience, catering to individuals who aren't necessarily focused on development.

The ease of use in both running and developing automation bots is a key factor for us. We also measure customer satisfaction not only in monetary terms but also in terms of the hours saved. For example, if we can save ten thousand hours in a year, it's a substantial achievement because it translates into cost savings for the organization. Ultimately, the hours saved through automation equate to tangible financial benefits.

What needs improvement?

The concept of process analysis would be helpful. Having a tool that can assess the entire workflow of an automation created by someone would be highly beneficial. This tool could identify areas where enhancements or improvements are feasible, simplifying the process of refining and optimizing automation workflows. In the case of case number categorization, we encountered an issue. While creating the automation, the system was designed to detect and categorize cases into various specified categories.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using UiPath for a year and a half.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The performance of the automation largely depends on the developers and the environment. For unattended automation, ongoing monitoring is necessary, especially when your team is actively making changes to the interface of the platform or system you're automating.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is highly scalable as it can be deployed to handle large datasets and execute numerous processes concurrently. This scalability enhances its efficiency and productivity, making it a valuable tool.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

My company made the decision to opt for UiPath over other vendors approximately five to six years ago. The primary reason for this choice was its superior technology and the seamless integration it offered for running our processes.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward.

What other advice do I have?

It doesn't have many direct competitors that offer a comparable blend of advanced automation features and competitive pricing. What sets them apart is their commitment to continuous improvement and innovation, evident in their advertising and technology enhancements.

Overall, I would rate UiPath nine out of ten.


    reviewer2298912

Has extensive community support, enabling organizations to efficiently automate repetitive tasks and enhance productivity

  • October 23, 2023
  • Review provided by PeerSpot

What is our primary use case?

I use UiPath for a variety of tasks, including automating user interfaces, processing documents, utilizing process mining, performing test automation, and even handling natural language processing.

How has it helped my organization?

It contributed to revenue growth by enabling us to maintain a consistent headcount and resource level while expanding our business.

What is most valuable?

Unattended automation, particularly in the realm of UI automation, is the most valuable aspect.

Its ability to swiftly create automation in UiPath Studio is highly beneficial. It's highly effective in pinpointing areas within the organization where assistance is required.

What needs improvement?

There are several areas where I see room for improvement in the tool. One of these areas would be a more solutions-oriented pricing structure. This is because the platform requires a multitude of building blocks even for the simplest use cases and when dealing with newer clients, this can be challenging. One area where I'd appreciate additional or new features is in the realm of insights.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using UiPath for seven years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It offers good stability features with minor bugs from time to time.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

When it comes to scalability, UiPath exhibits a high degree of proficiency.

How are customer service and support?

The customer support is quite commendable and we often make use of TAM when needed. I would rate it around an eight out of ten because there is room for improvement.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I've previously used a variety of automation tools, including Blue Prism, OpenSpan, Automation Anywhere, WorkFusion, and Microsoft Power Automate.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

I collaborated with my IT teams to establish high-availability virtual machines in Azure, whether on-premises or in a semi-private environment. I also partnered with my security team to formulate our digital worker strategy, which essentially involved managing identities, and I integrated all these components into a cohesive system.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

It comes with a high cost, but the value it delivers justifies the expense.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We conducted evaluations of various automation platforms, including Automation Anywhere, Kofax, Pega, and Blue Prism. There were several notable distinctions. Firstly, UiPath stood out because it offered a free starting point, which was not the case with the others. Secondly, UiPath's integration with Visual Studio was more seamless compared to the other platforms. Their open and free-for-all community is an enormous advantage.

What other advice do I have?

My advice would be to keep your problem-solving approach simple and avoid the urge to plan every detail. One common issue I've observed is people tend to overcomplicate the deployment, strategy, and overall decision-making process when adopting a new software platform. Instead, I'd recommend that if you can identify one or two use cases where the tool's benefits outweigh its costs, you have a solid starting point. Keep it straightforward, and you'll be on the right track.

Overall, I would rate it ten out of ten.
