Our main use cases for UiPath Platform are trying to automate as many processes as we can through our company to improve productivity and to reduce mundane tasks for our organization.

I have been using the agent features recently on UiPath Platform, so I have been building agents to supplement some of our processes. I have really been enjoying the agent and agent builder process. 

The time to market with the features of UiPath Platform, to be able to quickly spin up a POC and then put that in production within weeks to months versus sometimes years is significant. It is a much quicker process.

My overall experience using UiPath's Agentic Automation capabilities has been good. I and my teams have used the vendor's UiPath Academy courses. I had to do extensive training because I was fairly new to the team. I found my best way to learn the product was actually using the product. I went through training, but creating POCs or demos helped me learn better.

Regarding the value gained from being part of UiPath's user community, I am somewhat new to the team. I have been getting involved with community activities, and being able to talk to other companies with similar enterprise-type solutions has been valuable. Reaching out to the community has allowed me to talk to product developers and engineers.

UiPath Platform usage is expanding every day. We are a large company with many use cases, and either by word of mouth or through our product owner, it seems to be growing rapidly. I use Agentic AI, and our current experience with its ability to extract data points has been doing really well. It requires fine-tuning, but the data we are getting back is within a threshold of between 85 and 90% accuracy.

An example of time saved with Agentic AI would be taking customer information from numerous emails that would require manual human processing. Running an Agentic process takes minutes compared to what could take an adjuster anywhere from an hour to days depending on the information volume.

We use IXP and RPA processes with UiPath Platform for many of our automations. Our organization has automated processes with UiPath Agentic Automation in all aspects of our company, primarily focusing on frontline workers. By leveraging Agentic Automation, there are definite cost and time savings.

The biggest thing for us regarding how UiPath Platform can be improved is that the product itself seems to be evolving, however, it does not seem to keep in mind enterprise solutions. It seems to be focused more on small to mid-range companies. 

The company I work for is a large enterprise and it seems enterprise features are an afterthought. Focusing on enterprise-type solutions and then working with those enterprises to help build the product is key.

I have been using UiPath Platform for probably four to five years.

It seems to be pretty stable and reliable in my assessment of UiPath Platform. I have experienced downtime, crashes, and performance issues with UiPath Platform. That said, whenever we have issues, we open an incident ticket and I feel the response from support is good with good response rates.

UiPath Platform has the capability of scaling with the growing needs of our organization. I know there are challenges we run into, however, it is a growing platform. We are still trying to figure out the limitations.

I would evaluate customer service and technical support for UiPath Platform as pretty good. We run into issues where there is a lot of back and forth unless we put it on urgent, we do not hear things right away. Support could be a little bit better; however, for the most part, it is pretty good. 

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate customer service and technical support as a seven. As an enterprise customer, when we have mission-critical applications that need support, it would be nice to have a different tier of support.

Positive

Prior to adopting UiPath Platform, we were using Blue Prism.

The deployment was painful. We're an enterprise. So we're building some things in a non-prod environment in a tenant, and then trying to move things to a production tenant has been extremely difficult. We know that there's new things coming to help with that, however, right now it's very challenging.

Regarding return on investment with UiPath Platform, it is still unknown as they are still working on the numbers to figure that out.

Our PO handles all pricing, setup costs, and licensing aspects, so I have not had to deal with much of the pricing.

Other platforms Microsoft products, Power Platform, and Blue Prism were products we used before selecting UiPath Platform. 

I was not involved with the evaluation process comparing these options. The factors that led to considering a change were related to cost, complexity, and the ability to do certain things that one product could not offer that the other could.

I would rate UiPath Platform an eight out of ten. 

If you are interested in UiPath Platform, my advice is to utilize the labs, including the new lab interface where you can test and POC functionality. If an enterprise is looking to see what the tool can do, getting hands-on experience and trying the functionality is important.

My main use cases for UiPath Platform are office automation, business, and accuracy.

The feature of UiPath Platform that I appreciate the most is the Desktop Studio. The Desktop Studio allows quick developments, and the IDD is fine, with search being great. It's easy to show, and it's quick to handle.

My thoughts on UiPath Platform's user community suggest that a lot of content seems outdated and old now that gets referenced. The community experience for the AI is limited because putting the error codes into the community search field doesn't return many results. However, a lot of information from pre-AI, before 2022, is still accurate and helpful, but the cutting-edge content just isn't in the community yet.

There should be better training on UiPath Platform. I wish I could search UiPath IXP training and have a course pull up as the first result without having to dig through a bunch of links, dead-end links, and random things. Easier access for training would be ideal.

I have been using UiPath Platform for seven years.

I assess the stability and reliability of UiPath Platform as excellent, with uptime always being 100%, and I've never noticed it being down for any reason. I've never had to submit a ticket or be in the red for downtime, so it's been great.

UiPath Platform scales appropriately with the growing needs of my organization, as if there's ever a need for more licenses, we can always get that and adapt, adding unattended bots or more units or consumables as needed. 

We have not expanded usage significantly yet, as what we have is suitable for our needs right now, but as more business units and business people see what we're doing, I'm sure there'll be a bigger need for more licenses and everything.

I would evaluate customer service and technical support as lacking; we're on the Bronze tier support plan, which is honestly miserable. Every time there's an issue, I receive one email a day, with replies coming at midnight.

When I was working on the AI content, it was brand new to me. I emailed support with the error code about what was going on, but they replied with troubleshooting steps I had already completed. They then emailed again with another step that didn't help, forgot my ticket, and didn't communicate for days. I had to contact our sales agent to get a person on the phone to help me, and the issue was resolved in 30 minutes to an hour, demonstrating that they took a support ticket that could be settled quickly and stretched it over 10 days. It was not great.

Positive

Prior to adopting UiPath Platform, we were not using another solution to address similar needs.

We pushed Agentic AI to production in early September and so far, we've saved roughly 72 hours. It's processed 400 emails, specifically 400 purchase order emails that we use it for.

I have seen return on investment with UiPath Platform. We have roughly 30 automations, some that run once a quarter, some once a month. Mostly they run throughout the day, saving us around a thousand hours per month, and we have done that for the past seven years or so.

When comparing UiPath Platform, I didn't evaluate much positively or negatively as it was already selected when I joined, and I got put into it.

My advice to other organizations considering UiPath Platform is to definitely attend Fusion, as there's a lot announced and many things to learn, especially for small shops. There's only so much you can learn while you develop and handle everything else, but there are many hidden elements that some tribal knowledge helps you learn. 

My overall experience using UiPath Platform's Agentic Automation capabilities indicates there's a lot to learn. I couldn't find much training on it. I looked on YouTube and within the UiPath community, and a lot of help came from our sales rep who connected with us and helped us along.

I would rate UiPath Platform overall an eight out of ten.

My main use cases for UiPath Platform are traditional RPA and Document Understanding, primarily focused on invoice processing and similar tasks. We've delved into GenAI since last year. I am from the Automation COE team at OMERS, and we are not restricted to just UiPath Platform; we engage in various automation initiatives. Currently, we work with PowerApps, Power Platform, UiPath Platform, and Alteryx, but we appreciate the ecosystem that UiPath Platform has provided us. The capabilities offered by UiPath Platform feel a one-stop shop for automation solutions, especially after migrating from on-prem to cloud, which grants us access to all the latest offerings.

One of the features I appreciate most about UiPath Platform is the Orchestrator. We switched from on-prem to cloud a couple of years back, and since then, we've been using the Orchestrator. 

I also appreciate UiPath Apps; while more can be done with UiPath Apps, we've been leveraging that and the Document Understanding part of things too. 

The features of UiPath Platform, such as traditional RPA, benefit our organization straightforwardly since we have certain processes that are manual in nature and very descriptive or deterministic. We go about building traditional RPAs for these processes.

Additionally, we leverage UiPath Apps to give users the ability to have an interface to trigger their processes, transitioning from the initial queue-based or time-based triggers to more ad hoc options where users can decide when they want to run their automations.

UiPath Platform can be improved, and there's a lot to package there. 

They need to enhance their CI/CD capabilities; while they have an Automation Ops offering, it's still not up to the mark. Integrations with GitHub are available; however, there's still much more that can be done, and documentation is always an area that can be improved. 

What works with UiPath Platform is the ecosystem; it's a one-stop solution for most of our needs. However, the documentation can be improved. 

Sometimes, I notice that UiPath Platform pushes out a product before it's fully ready for mass consumption, one example being the initial launch of UiPath Apps, which had limited capabilities. 

Early adopters can occasionally face challenges due to such early releases.

I would assess the stability and reliability of UiPath Platform as very stable. We receive notifications if something is down, and the turnaround time is usually quick, so it is pretty reliable. 

I have experienced some downtime, crashes, or performance issues, yet nothing that has impacted us for days. When something is down, UiPath Platform is very prompt in resolving the issue, and I've witnessed downtimes of only a couple of hours in the past, with nothing major beyond that.

UiPath Platform scales very to the growing needs of my organization, and it is very flexible. 

We considered scalability during our decision-making process with UiPath Platform, and I'm satisfied that it is easy to scale according to our needs. We have expanded our usage of UiPath Platform, and the process was quite smooth. 

We run our automations on dedicated Azure VMs, and when we needed to increase the number of unattended licenses, it was just a matter of acquiring those licenses and spinning up new VMs for the additional automations.

I would evaluate customer service and technical support from UiPath Platform as good, though there is room for improvement. 

The customer service and technical support have been great, however, a proper support model is needed. We are on the bronze package, and at times we encounter situations that fall beyond our scope, especially when issues are related to integrations with other third-party tools, such as BeyondTrust as our credential manager. 

In such cases, both UiPath Platform and BeyondTrust should collaborate effectively, as issues may arise from their interaction rather than being solely a customer problem.

Positive

Before adopting UiPath Platform, I wasn't using another solution to address similar needs. Since we established the Automation COE within my organization, we debated whether to go the Blue Prism route or UiPath Platform route, ultimately finding that UiPath Platform was a better fit.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for UiPath Platform is pretty seamless. They've revised the pricing model this year, and we are about to renew our contracts this November. Initially, there were many unknowns, however, now everything is in sync and clearer, though I feel the pricing could be better.

We have expanded our usage of UiPath Platform, and the process was quite smooth. We run our automations on dedicated Azure VMs, and when we needed to increase the number of unattended licenses, it was just a matter of acquiring those licenses and spinning up new VMs for the additional automations.

I have absolutely seen a return on investment with UiPath Platform. 

When we talk about ROIs with UiPath Platform, we see that it doesn't necessarily have to be full-time employee savings. Sometimes, it's simply a cost we've saved on paper, but there are also instances where it's very tangible and measurable. We've used UiPath Platform not just for streamlining processes or automating manual tasks, however, we've even built some products—such as silo applications—just to navigate licensing costs for the original application.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for UiPath Platform is pretty seamless.

The factors that led me to consider UiPath Platform revolve primarily around RPA capabilities. UiPath Platform offers the flexibility to have both attended and unattended automations, unlike many competitors at that time. 

The ability to write custom code and DLLs without being restricted to a specific programming language gave us much more flexibility, influencing our decision towards UiPath Platform.

I do not use GenAI yet.

My advice to other organizations considering UiPath Platform is that it offers many new features, and I believe cloud is the way to go. If anyone is considering an on-prem solution, it restricts the offerings you can access. Therefore, transitioning to UiPath Platform should prioritize cloud, as it provides access to all the latest and greatest features available for consumption. 

I would rate UiPath Platform an eight out of ten overall.

My main use cases for UiPath Platform at SAP, where I've only been for two years, mostly involve in-house applications. 

We build bridges. We use RPA as a bridge between different in-house applications. It's mostly web automation or database-related. That's what we have now, but we are in a transformation phase to SAP, so we're hoping to implement UiPath Platform there.

The examples I can provide about how these features have benefited my organization include the capability to work with all other applications. We have many in-house applications, and using UiPath Platform, I'm able to build that connection using APIs or directly with the database.

The feature I most appreciate about UiPath Platform is the Orchestrator.

I faced challenges after migrating to cloud recently. We were on-prem in our organization, and since we migrated to cloud, when we were on-prem, all the jobs were working. We never had any issues with processes getting stuck or triggers. We had a smooth running of processes for a very long time.

Recently, we migrated to cloud and we are seeing issues with jobs getting stuck without any reason. It's not in any loop or anything. When I see the logs, it shows that it started, but nothing after that in the logs. That's something I'm yet to figure out what is happening. I just noticed this one or two days before I came to the Fusion, so I don't know what's happening.

I have been using UiPath Platform since 2017.

I haven't really faced any issues with the stability and reliability of UiPath Platform, so it's really reliable. 

The only bad experience I had was after the cloud migration, with these bots getting stuck. I'm yet to dig deep into it. I don't know what's happening. Those were the same processes that were running on-prem for a very long time continuously without any issues. 

I just noticed it one day before coming here, so I don't know if it's something on our side. I have to research. If I don't find anything, I'll definitely reach out to our UiPath contact.

UiPath Platform scales with our growing needs of the organization.  We have expanded usage. We have two teams internally in our organization. We had around ten bots altogether, but we recently moved it up to 15.

I evaluate my customer service and technical support experience as very responsive. We've got all our tickets or concerns looked at very fast.

Positive

Prior to adopting UiPath Platform at SAP, I was using another solution in my previous organization. We started with a different tool. I was there at that time, but that was not as good as UiPath Platform.

I would describe my experience with deploying UiPath Platform as very easy.

I have seen a return on investment with UiPath Platform. We do monitor our ROI for every project we deploy to production. We do see a great return on investment, and that's why we continue to use it. At SAP, we have been using it since 2018, so we are continuing to use it because of the return on investment.

What was better about UiPath Platform compared to my last program was its compatibility with other applications. In 2017, when all these platforms were new, the other tool I was using didn't have as much compatibility with other applications. Also, for creating triggers at that time for that application, we had to use other batch jobs. UiPath Platform had all that in the Orchestrator.

My advice to another organization considering using UiPath Platform is that it will definitely save a lot of time. It's highly recommended, but do your research before deciding which feature to use. There are many options available, so consider the ROI before picking AI or the feature. 

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

Our main use cases for UiPath Platform involve a lot of RPA, as we have over 300 bots; for agents, we're mostly looking at IT operations and procurement, invoice processing.

Examples of how these features benefit our organization include being able to automate and educate the folks. Things such as UiPath Academy are definitely a game changer for aligning everyone on these topics.

The features of UiPath Platform that I prefer most are the Autopilot's key capability, which enables embedding in all products and makes everything from development to testing much faster.

By leveraging Agentic Automation, we achieve outcomes such as reducing service requests by 50%, which saves about 3,000 service requests and frees up employees to work on more value-add activities.

My overall experience using UiPath Platform's Agentic Automation capabilities is that it's very intuitive; everything just follows the fields, and I create prompts using natural language, which is super easy. My teams and I use the vendor's UiPath Academy courses all the time. The biggest benefits I have seen from UiPath Academy include that the fact that it's free is a game changer, and we always advise everyone to check it out, as it's very hands-on and comprehensive.

My thoughts on UiPath's user community in terms of the value gained by being part of it include just being able to shape the products; UiPath Platform is very receptive to feedback, and being the first implementation of Autopilot, we provided feedback catered to our needs. Just from one use case, we save tens of thousands of hours per year extracting data points with Agentic AI; we're trying to scale this globally to three or four other use cases, and we expect high value there.

As for how UiPath Platform can be improved, I haven't thought about it much.  

Being able to implement more training specifically on the agent stuff would be beneficial. UiPath Platform is really great already with the automation stuff, however, comprehensive training is lacking as the products constantly change, especially crucial for our partner focusing on RPA.

We have been partners since 2019, using UiPath Platform.

I would assess the stability and reliability of UiPath Platform as excellent, as we've never had an issue with it. I have never experienced any downtime, crashes, or performance issues with UiPath Platform.

UiPath Platform scales with the growing needs of our organization, as it is sufficient.

I would evaluate customer service and technical support for UiPath Platform as excellent; they are a great partner there. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate customer service and technical support an eight, as there have been instances where we wanted direct help right away. 

They require us to log a ticket; ideally, I would prefer contacting our representative for immediate assistance, so I dislike the logging process.

Positive

Prior to adopting UiPath Platform, I was using another solution, Power Automate, however, I found it much more limited, mainly good for Microsoft tools.

I would describe my experience deploying UiPath Platform as pretty seamless; I think we have a good partner for that aspect.

I have seen a return on investment with UiPath Platform, absolutely. In terms of data points or examples, our program pays for itself roughly four or five times.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for UiPath Platform is that overall, it's clear; however, some of the AI unit stuff can be confusing, so one feedback would be a calculator to forecast and understand consumption rates better.

Before selecting UiPath Platform, we considered other solutions; we have a technology stack where many use cases go through UiPath Platform, however, some go through Python development, and we're also partners with Microsoft, though the majority still go through UiPath Platform. 

In my evaluation process comparing these options, cost stood out as a big factor; UiPath Platform is actually the most expensive option, but it depends on the use case, and UiPath Platform might be a better fit compared to other options.

Our use cases with UiPath Agentic Automation mostly involve plasma and also supply chain and IT operations—those are where the true Agentic Automation capabilities lie; everything else could be done with RPA. 

The advice I would give to other organizations considering UiPath Platform is to look at the capabilities as a whole and not just consider the cost; UiPath Platform is the most expensive option compared to competitors, so it's important to evaluate capability and return on investment. 

I would rate UiPath Platform overall as a solid eight out of ten.

Currently, my main use cases for UiPath Platform are working on Agentic. Previously I have worked on multiple RPA processes, be it finance, sales, or airport operations. 

My use cases and the department processes I have automated with UiPath Platform Agentic Automation are from the airlines industry, such as seat assignment and refunds for now. 

By leveraging Agentic Automation, I have achieved outcomes such as processing the refund requirements of customers; using the Agentic AI, I can process the documents easily and can just get the narrative that is present in the document to determine if we need to give the refund back or not.

One of the features of UiPath Platform that I appreciate the most is the Orchestration, along with the user-friendly UI where I can develop the code. These features benefit my organization by providing a low-code platform, using which we can easily deploy and develop our processes.

My thoughts on UiPath Platform's user community in terms of the value gained by being a part of it are very good; it's very reachable and has a quick turnaround if I have any queries.

UiPath Platform can be improved by adding more functionalities around security, especially around the Agentic AI. In the next release, I would want to see everything around Agentic included, making it more user-friendly, easier to access things, and allowing multiple tasks to be done on a single screen.

I have been using UiPath Platform for six years.

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

UiPath Platform scales very effectively with the growing needs of my organization, as I work on multiple projects and can easily develop as soon as I get a project; the turnaround time is very low. 

I have expanded usage, and the process has been very smooth; if I see an additional requirement in a process, I can easily develop it, and with multiple functionalities available in UiPath Platform such as Action Center and Human in the Loop, it scales effectively.

I would evaluate customer service and technical support as very good. 

In case of any technical issues, I directly reach out to the SMEs and the TAMs assigned to me, who set up a quick meeting and are happy to resolve issues easily. 

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate customer service and technical support as a nine; they are very reachable and knowledgeable, providing multiple solutions whenever I reach out.

Positive

Prior to adopting UiPath Platform, I was not using another solution to address similar needs.

There weren't any challenges with the deployment. Frankly, it's very easy. It's direct.

I have seen a return on investment with UiPath Platform. Based on UiPath Platform, I have around 300, 400 bots with us, resulting in a very good ROI of approximately 20 million plus.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing as a UiPath Platform customer is very good; we get a bundle license, and if we have any issues, we can directly reach out to the sales managers to resolve them.

Before selecting UiPath Platform, I tested other products such as Power Platform and Automation Anywhere, but when I considered the UI and ease of use, I chose UiPath Platform. In my evaluation process, the positive aspects included the ease of use, the Orchestration as one of the biggest advantages, the support, the customer support, and the Development Studio, which is very good. The negative aspect was evaluating the license cost based on the ROI to determine if I could achieve it or not.

As a UiPath Platform user, my advice to other organizations considering UiPath Platform is that the platform is excellent; they should focus on comparing with other platforms, the ease of use, the products provided, the accuracy, and their quick turnaround for implementing new updates. 

My teams have not used the vendor's UiPath Academy course. 

I rate UiPath Platform as nine out of ten overall. It has everything you could want in one platform, including Orchestration, development, ease of use, easy connectivity, and the Academy is excellent for learning.

The main use cases I see my clients implementing UiPath Platform for vary. It can be procure-to-pay, finance functions, GL reconciliation, and invoicing, specifically in the finance space. That's my background. 

Many customers implement Agentic AI, Agentic automation in the BPO space where they want to take away the human in the loop function, put an agent, and orchestrate that on top of calls and everything. 

The other places we're seeing a lot of traction are law firms, which are very document-heavy. They're trying to get agents sitting on top of their documents and trying to get information, which basically saves them a lot of time and effort. Even my wife's a lawyer, so I know they are running into many issues, wasting too much time with document processing, gathering, and then understanding the gist of the documentation, aligning it to the case. 

We're very user-heavy with a lot of human intervention. If it's possible to build agents to do the work with a chatbot and then orchestrate the chatbot and put guardrails around it in terms of testing and everything, that becomes our biggest function. On the finance side, be that reconciliation, where we can build an agent or an orchestrator which can help reconcile end-of-period bookings and then add top-line, bottom-line.

UiPath Platform offers features Maestro and the whole Agentic jump that others don't. Others are trying to catch up, but they're not there yet. They have their own version, however, they've really taken the initiative and tried to do this before anyone can. The test suite is a differentiator. If you look at SS&C Blue Prism or Automation Anywhere, they don't have the capability.

The biggest benefit from Academy courses is that it's very much driven by UiPath professionals who work for UiPath. They really understand what the product can do and how it aligns to market needs. We've seen that once people go through certifications or coursework, they understand the product very deeply. They understand how to position it in the market and how to differentiate it from its competitors.

The product in itself is very robust. As mentioned earlier, it really scales, drives value, and there's good ROI on the product. If you are considering an RPA product, UiPath Platform definitely is one to consider, given the length and breadth of its capabilities and how quickly you can generate ROI on it.

UiPath Platform could be better growing in the Agentic and the GenAI space. They are trying to get there. Traditionally, they are an RPA firm, so they are hamstrung by that because the market knows them as someone who does RPA. I know they're trying to change the narrative, but if they can come out with a very solid product which can help drive Agentic or GenAI use cases, they could become the leader in the market. To make it a ten out of ten, there needs to be a jump in the Agentic and the GenAI space.

I have been using and implementing UiPath Platform for two to three years.

With the cloud now, scaling with the growing needs of the organizations has become extremely easy. You just have to know if you need to add bots. The licensing has become very simple. 

Depending upon the use case, the scalability has become easy. You can go up and down based on capacity and how many bots and processes you want to automate. Scalability was never an issue for UiPath Platform, and with cloud it's become all the more easier.

It's a great product with great people who are very supportive and help everyone. I've worked with a lot of account executives, and they are true to the end. Having worked with other product companies, it is all about the sale and then disappearing. 

These account executives are really helpful. They take it to the end. 

Positive

UiPath Platform has been the Cadillac of the RPA world for a reason. It's left its competitors behind. If you look at the market space about five or six years back, there was Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere, and all the others. They still exist, however, they've fallen behind UiPath Platform in terms of market share. The reason for that is the reliability, the product as a whole, support, community, all of that. All of this makes the product a lot more stable and available.

I wouldn't call deployment simple. It isn't trivial. If you have the right set of people and partners who can really position or help you, it's not a setback, and it's relatively straightforward. If the partner's helping you and you have a very defined use case, you have your servers identified, you have everything identified, it becomes very straightforward. 

The documentation UiPath provides is also pretty good. We have a good set of people who have been there, done that. That's why we find it a little more straightforward.

Agentic is the next evolution of RPA. We have customers who have saved millions of dollars or thousands of hours in terms of time saved. 

The evolution now is Agentic. We want to build on top of that to help them not only automate but also orchestrate some of the tasks they're doing. It's not a question of people losing jobs, it's a question of people being re-planned to do more useful things. 

On the Agentic side, there are not many ROI calculations we've done, primarily because it's relatively new. On the RPA side, we have anecdotal evidence across our customers where we've saved them millions of dollars on the finance processing side. For example, in procure-to-pay, AP and AR, reconciliation. 

We've worked with other customers in hospitality where we've built technical APIs across different functions, different platforms to pull data from different places, and help them automate all of that using UiPath Platform.

They're going through a lot of license changes right now. If you're on prem going to cloud, they've simplified it a lot. It's simple enough now. Earlier, it was a little more complicated. We work with UiPath enough to really know the license model and how it works and everything. 

In my current field of sales solutions, I've been working for about 20 years now. 

The specific Agentic automation capabilities I or my clients are utilizing are agent building, orchestration, and testing. UiPath Platform support tries their best to help. It sometimes gets a bad rap as, when you get to support, it means you've tried every trick in the book. 

I rate UiPath Platform eight out of ten.

My main use case for UiPath Platform involves all the areas around testing, particularly Agentic testing, however, previously it was more about the test manager and the whole RPA field. 

I currently use all of UiPath Platform Agentic Automation capabilities, including the Agent Builder, Testing, and Autopilot. The only real use case we have implemented with UiPath Platform Agentic Automation is creating synthetic test data; the others are tests in our lab where we are trying out different solutions.

I really appreciate the agentic testing feature on UiPath Platform. For our organization, as a partner, we help customers by providing solutions for test data, which includes a recent agentic win that cuts the time by 80-90%. 

I currently use agentic AI. I assess agentic AI's ability to extract data points as effective, especially with all the capabilities and the new models that came in with the Anthropic model, which I appreciate greatly. It's developing rapidly with many new features, so I don't have to look for other platforms.

For one specific use case about creating test data in banking, it saves around 80% of the time, which amounts to approximately 100 hours a month for one client. 

The outcomes we've achieved by leveraging the agentic automation involve huge time savings when it comes to creating synthetic test data. My overall experience using UiPath Platforms agentic automation capabilities is overwhelming; I didn't expect it would be that good. It's so effective that we only want to work with that for new customers.

My team has used the vendor's UiPath Academy courses. The biggest benefits I have seen from UiPath Academy involve getting the whole team to a certain level of common understanding of the platform, which is essential because as a partner, you need certified people.

UiPath User Community is pretty new for me; I just came across it at the conference, meeting all the other MVPs. We are not in that program yet, but it gave so much back that we think maybe we will join them in our vertical, which is financial services.

UiPath Platform could be improved with better UX and design; it should be more self-explanatory how to use its features. Once you understand it, it's really easy to use, but it's a big step to get there, and I see that with our customers—they are afraid to use it because it still looks too technical for them. The pricing for UiPath Platform is pretty fair compared to competitors, but the licensing is complex and really hard for us as partners to understand which is the correct licensing for our customers.

I've been working with UiPath for seven years. 

I haven't experienced any downtime or crashes with UiPath Platform, however, sometimes it can get really slow.

UiPath Platform scales perfectly with the growing needs of my organization; I don't see any limitation there yet.

I can't evaluate customer service and technical support for UiPath Platform as I haven't been in contact with support; that's something my team handles.

Positive

Prior to adopting UiPath Platform, I used other solutions to address similar needs. The solutions I used included Tricentis Tosca, Cypress, Playwright, NeoLoad, Ranorex, and many others I can't name.

My experience with deploying UiPath Platform is that it's very easy; if you are on the cloud, it's straightforward. Even if you're not using all the cloud features, it's pretty easy to deploy.

I have seen a return on investment with UiPath Platform. One example involves an area where banks usually spend hundreds of thousands to even millions of dollars; if they all switched to UiPath Platform, they could save approximately 90% of the costs.

We are a long-term Tricentis partner, but they are not in the RPA field and only in testing. When it comes to Agentic, there wasn't any other option we looked at deeply. What stood out in my evaluation process is that we were already a partner in one area, making it easy for us to get to know the rest. The features of UiPath Platform were unique, and there wasn't anything else on the market. Normally, we do research and consider open-source options, but there wasn't a complete solution that we could showcase to our customers; it was actually the only option and a great one at that.

My advice to another organization considering UiPath Platform is to try it out with people who really want to explore new things, and they should get help if they are afraid to do so. 

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

We use the solution for building automations.

We significantly expanded our scale and effort to improve our throughput within the development team. So Maestro being able to have the business teams go in and actually wireframe their process for us out ahead of the development teams, that cuts down on the overall speed to develop. Since our longest part of our process is our discovery process, which we've now, you know, we take six weeks sometimes and getting that down to three weeks or two weeks is incredibly essential to the overall development effort.

The orchestration of RPA workflows and the Maestro canvas are features of UiPath Platform that I enjoy the most. We've significantly expanded our scale and effort to develop and our throughput within the development team with these features of UiPath Platform. Maestro enables business teams to wireframe their process ahead of the development teams, which cuts down on the overall speed to develop because our longest part of our process is our discovery process, which takes six weeks sometimes. Getting that down to three weeks or two weeks is incredibly essential to the overall development effort.

We have used the vendor's UiPath Academy course. UiPath Academy helps us ramp up people faster and scale a little bit faster. There's a lot of really good foundational knowledge in how to navigate the UI and how to use the product out of the box. However, for more advanced automations, it would be better if it was more curated. There's too much focus on the next product and not enough focus on making use of the current products that are in the platform.

To improve UiPath Platform, I suggest making a larger effort not just to solve the development timeline and time to delivery and time to value, but also focus on the process side of things for teams and companies that don't have a lot of time or understanding of their own processes. 

Deploying UiPath Platform could be better.

My team has been using UiPath Platform for about four years.

The stability and reliability of UiPath Platform are good. We have on-prem deployment. All the hardware is ours, so the stability and reliability is up to us. With the automations that we're developing, it just works when we develop it. We don't deploy it unless it works and then after that it usually requires very low maintenance.

UiPath Platform scales with the growing needs of our organization. That is why we chose it, actually. That is the primary reason. We feel it scales better than Power Platform and some other solutions. UiPath Platform was the logical choice because it could handle the volume that we needed it to handle.

Customer service and technical support for UiPath Platform is really good. They have excellent account teams that do their best to support us in every way possible. 

Anytime we have a problem, we always get it solved. When we give them a problem with the platform, we have an answer within hours. We get full attention and feel very good about their level of support and couldn't ask for a better technical team.

Positive

Before selecting UiPath Platform, we considered Power Platform, n8n, and Automation Anywhere.

Prior to adopting UiPath Platform, we were using Power Platform and Automation Anywhere to address similar needs. The factors that led us to consider a change were more about particular use cases that performed better in one tool or the other. Power Platform is really good for the decentralized citizen development community whereas UiPath Platform is more focused on developers and doing more digital integrations, digital layer automation.

The deployment could have been better. Basically, just for comparing it to Power Platform, it's all SaaS in the cloud. Orchestration is really invisible, however, I also think that's a drawback to the overall platform. With UiPath, you have to really understand how to build from a software life cycle perspective, or else you really don't accomplish much. It's a little bit more difficult to ramp up scale and embed. That said, once you have it built and the pipeline of automations built within UiPath, it actually goes pretty smoothly after that. 

We have seen a return on investment with UiPath Platform. However, my feedback is it's not our return on investment. Since we're doing these automations for other lines of business internally, the costs that we're recouping aren't our costs that we're recouping. Making that more transparent to us and how they're recouping their hard costs is also pretty critical to helping us expand and scale.

My experience with pricing and setup cost for UiPath Platform is that it's expensive for all components. It's very expensive, which then forces our hand to make it worth it. We then had to go and actually execute on the value.

When comparing solutions, both positive and negative aspects stood out to me. Power Platform is a platform, but it's a bunch of smaller products that weren't really thought out as an overall platform - individual products that are combined together in the Power Platform. With UiPath Platform, it actually feels an end-to-end platform that is fully integrated with all the different products that are in the ecosystem.

My advice to another organization considering UiPath Platform is to start small. The sales teams will tell you to take a big process and automate it. Start with the first step of any process anywhere. Your first step will always change the second step in the process. 

By automating that first step, take a stop or take a breather and actually look at what the second step is now. Does it need to change? Does it still need a human in the loop? Can we just go on to the third and fourth step instead? Do we even need a second step? It's about taking it one step at a time because when you start automating one step, it's always going to change everything that comes after that. Even though the sales teams are telling you to go big, target phases. First step, second step, third step, and just keep automating backwards from there.

I rate UiPath Platform eight out of ten.

My use cases for UiPath Platform in my organization are to automate process, operation process and the business process.

I find the security features of UiPath Platform most valuable because I don't have problems with UiPath Platform during my journey, and I appreciate the support. The support of UiPath Platform is very fast, with rules and security response, which makes it responsible, and I appreciate this. I have seen time saved and value from using UiPath Platform so far. Security operations are very important for us, but I think the time saved is significant.

I think UiPath Platform could improve in the catalog regarding options and hyperautomation, as I think this is more evaluated, and operations too. I don't want to see additional features in future releases. I don't have current pain points that I would want them to fix.

I have been using UiPath Platform for almost four or five years.

I assess the stability and reliability of UiPath Platform as very good.

The support of UiPath Platform is very fast, with rules and security response, which makes it responsible, and I appreciate this.

I have considered other automation solutions in the last years, but for RPA, I only used UiPath Platform and Automation Hub among other things.

My experience with deploying UiPath Platform is very good, as my team discusses this, saying it's very secure and fast.

My experience with contracting for UiPath Platform is good, and I think there is an opportunity for price revision, but it's a good negotiation for us because of security.

I have seen time saved and value from using UiPath Platform so far. We have 800 people saved now with using UiPath Platform in terms of FTEs. That is per year, the time I am saving with UiPath Platform.

I selected UiPath Platform over Automation Anywhere because of its security, as I think it's the best.

The price is what would make it a perfect solution for me. I would give UiPath Platform support a rating of nine on a scale of one to 10. I have experience with contracting, licensing, and pricing of UiPath Platform, but I handle this job once a year during the contract revision. I currently have almost 300 robots deployed with UiPath Platform. I deployed a little more than a hundred robots across several years. I plan to expand and deploy more robots next year. I would rate UiPath Platform a nine on a scale of one to 10.
