The best feature of UiPath Platform that I appreciate the most is UiPath Studio. It is a great tool that I appreciate because I am a developer and I also have a background as a .NET developer, and I really appreciate how Studio is built on the WWF framework, Windows Workflow Foundation. It also includes the core .NET libraries, which are really good, and it appears as a native integration environment, such as Visual Studio or other products.
The Orchestrator is also really good because it is a great tool with the open API, which I leverage really often. Those are the most beloved ones from UiPath Platform.
By using UiPath Platform, I always try to reduce human errors by the maximum amount possible. It really depends on the projects because we have a rapidly changing environment when needing to do something quick as a POC or MVP product to show the customer something that works. In my experience where I developed solutions using UiPath Platform, I always aim for an eighty percent reduction in human errors.
I see Blue Prism as a tool that is more compatible with customers and structures that keep a high focus on security. It is a popular choice for banks and financial structures because it is simple and has enhanced security features which are really appreciated by banks, financial structures, and also the government. Power Automate is also a great tool, particularly with its connections to the Power Platform, such as Power Apps, providing a seamless integration experience. I would say that Power Automate is more suitable when you have the full Microsoft stack, when you need to automate something inside regularly using SharePoint, Excel online, and Outlook.
UiPath Platform combines all these elements, as it caters to both citizen developers and experienced developers. If you know some programming language, you can do really agile things with UiPath Platform. Furthermore, UiPath Platform offers enhanced security features specifically for healthcare and banking. UiPath Platform is the right choice when you start your automation journey because it can do everything. You can create something focused on security or integrate with the Microsoft stack, though not as seamlessly as Power Automate. From the developer experience perspective, UiPath Platform is the winner, as it feels developed even with low-code, but still provides a feeling of native development, such as back-end development where you can freely utilize your favorite programming language, .NET and C#.
