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.

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.

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.

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.

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 primary use cases for UiPath Platform are around investment type data, where we normally work with business units needing to pull in data where an API is not readily available.

We have not started testing use cases as we are governed heavily by compliance, and we have what's called an RAIC council, so anything involving AI or LLMs has to go through them. We submit an intake form and wait for approval before we can start working on it.

That being said, we have two potential use cases that we've already submitted the request to start testing out agents and AI within some workflows. I can share some details about those use cases, which are really centered around extracting data from very unstructured documents, as the structures frequently change quarter over quarter, making it quite complicated.

I have realized benefits utilizing UiPath Platform, and specifically, this year alone from January until last week, we have saved about $650,000 for the firm, with close to 5,000 hours saved by diving deeper into pulling investment data.

The features I find most valuable within UiPath Platform are the logging and controls, and the ability to bring value to the firm extremely quickly due to the low-code, no-code functionality.

The biggest benefit I've seen from UiPath Platform Academy courses is the understanding of the REFramework, which is critical for proper coding, exception handling, and routing to support groups. My engineers with engineering experience often fly through the first part, but pause at the REFramework, where I explain the importance of mastering it.

Understanding the REFramework allows the firm to properly implement try-catch systems and route exceptions effectively, which is beneficial for ensuring everyone can jump into code they didn't deploy and understand how it flows together. It sets the framework within the company to support development and maintenance. If implemented correctly, it will not break and will bring stability to the process.

I am part of a UiPath Platform user community. Being part of the community allows me to network with other firms, share challenges, wins and losses, and seek support whenever I'm stuck with something, which is valuable for problem-solving. This exchange of information helps us to not divulge proprietary information while still offering support.

I did not find support helpful.

I have been using UiPath Platform for about five years.

UiPath Platform itself is very stable while the instability lies in the architectures it interacts with, meaning issues can arise from the VMs and networks managed by different teams, yet overall it is very robust and reliable. The underlying infrastructure causes the perception of unreliability, but removing any VM or network issues reveals no significant problems.

UiPath Platform scales very well with our growing needs, particularly with Gen 3 Windows 11 servers, making it much easier to add more instances and resources compared to the previous architecture.

I have used UiPath Platform support before. I did not find them helpful at all. The support team often cannot understand custom automations we've built, which limits their effectiveness; for instance, when I reported a simple issue about elements not being recognized, they responded with "It works on my end," which was not helpful. I would have preferred support to offer a screen share to truly understand my situation rather than leaving me to figure it out alone.

I would rate UiPath Platform support a seven out of ten. The support would be a ten if they were proactive in testing requests on their end and offered follow-up communication, lending customers guidance rather than leaving them isolated.

We considered UiPath Platform alongside Blue Prism and Automation Anywhere, and we chose UiPath Platform because it seemed more user-friendly and easier to adopt.

When I first started in RPA, we did not fully understand what we were getting into. We had heard of the RPA technology and decided to go with UiPath Platform because it is best in class. Once we began developing our first use cases, the value became clearer, especially related to ROI from saving hours and dollars.

The architecture of the robots themselves was not hard for me to deploy, as I did not focus on that aspect.

From January until last week, we have saved about $650,000 for the firm. That's close to 5,000 hours saved by diving deeper into pulling investment data, which elevated the ROI.

I do not control pricing, setup costs, and licensing of UiPath Platform; that is handled by someone else.

We have not used any other tools, however, we do have Power Automate for small use cases. The right tool for the right process is our approach; however, our major processes are all within UiPath Platform because of its robust capability to log, control, and orchestrate.

I do not yet utilize agentic automation capabilities or agentic AI from UiPath Platform to achieve those, as it's strictly all RPA for now. We are in the process of trying to start developing more agentic, less RPA, and more agent-type workflows. We've been looking forward to having the capability that Maestro offers for case management, which will be a huge game-changer for my firm, as we've been searching for a suitable tool for two years.

Our enterprise firm does not require certification for engineers, however, within our investment side, it's a requirement. I had my advanced developer certification years ago, and all of my engineers have their certified engineer certifications. Anyone joining my team has to go through the academy and prove completion of the certification.

My advice for someone considering UiPath Platform is to clearly understand RPA, agentic work, and assess interoperability with other external systems before choosing a platform, as UiPath Platform typically comes out on top. I'm optimistic about future developments. I appreciate UiPath Platform allowing us to use our own LLMs, so thank you for that flexibility.

I have rated UiPath Platform ten out of ten.

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.

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 case for UiPath Platform is mostly in the finance space, specifically our accounting realm, although I come from manufacturing.

The features of UiPath Platform that I prefer most are Studio and Document Understanding. Studio is just a great development environment, easy to learn, easy to get through, and Document Understanding is a best-in-breed data extraction.

My teams have used the vendor's UiPath Academy courses. The biggest benefits that I have seen from UiPath Academy are demonstrated through our citizen developer program which uses it exclusively to help train our citizen developers, and I myself learned the entire platform through Academy.

My opinion on how UiPath Platform can be improved is that I dislike cloud or web apps in general, so getting all of the cool cloud features for Studio Cloud into Studio Desktop would be my biggest priority, however, that's a personal vendetta against web applications.

I have been using UiPath Platform for about three years.

I assess the stability and reliability of UiPath Platform as consistently strong. I have experienced some outages, but minimally unplanned, and anything else that happened has been internal updates causing issues.

My assessment of how UiPath Platform scales to the growth needs of my organization has been positive with no complaints. We have expanded usage. The process of expansion was quite smooth: buying new licenses, paying money, and moving forward.

I would evaluate my customer service and technical support as great.

On a scale from one being the worst to ten being the best, I would rate my customer service and technical support an eight out of ten. There's always room for improvement.

Initially, our technical account manager was not the best, and some things happened that still have a sour taste in my mouth from three years ago. Our current account management has been wonderful, with no complaints. They are super responsive and very knowledgeable.

The deployment was slow. That's more due to company restrictions than UiPath restrictions.

We have received an ROI.

The UiPath user community provides significant value through its large community, being one of the bigger vendors in the space. Being part of that community, the forums, and the people offers a wealth of experience to draw from. My advice to another organization considering using UiPath Platform is to scale quickly, get funding, and buy-in from leadership.

Overall, I would rate UiPath Platform seven out of ten, as there's always room for improvement.

My main case use for UiPath Platform would be to automate user experience and make it faster.

The feature I appreciate the most on UiPath Platform is the web interface. I work primarily on the supporting end in the backend, so that's my go-to place to troubleshoot. These features have benefited my organization by helping eliminate waste.

My teams have used the vendor's UiPath Academy courses. The biggest benefit from UiPath Academy is understanding the process better, as it provided a good introduction when we didn't know what was happening beforehand.

My experience with the UiPath user community shows that talking to people in similar situations is valuable for troubleshooting.

I would love to see UiPath Platform improved by having a better mobile application. Currently, while the web portion is available, the mobile app needs significant improvement.

I have been using UiPath Platform for the last 18 months.

I have not experienced any performance issues with UiPath Platform that I am aware of, and I would have known.

UiPath Platform scales effectively with our growing organizational needs. We are utilizing what we have, and if we need more, it's fairly easy to add more afterward. Though there is a cost associated with scaling, the platform remains scalable.

I have expanded my usage of UiPath Platform.

I would evaluate customer service and technical support for UiPath Platform as great. We have had no issues with support.

Prior to adopting UiPath Platform, we were considering the Microsoft solution to address similar needs, but we never implemented it.

My experience with deploying UiPath Platform was easy. We had assistance.

The process was smooth. We had help setting up the new virtual services.

I cannot share specific data points, however, I have seen a return on investment with UiPath Platform in terms of hours saved. I am not familiar with the financial aspects.

Regarding pricing, setup costs, and licensing for UiPath Platform, I don't see any of that information. From what I've heard, it's expensive and could be more affordable.

I was not part of the evaluation process for other solutions before selecting UiPath Platform.

We are not currently using the generative AI.

My advice to organizations considering UiPath Platform is to find a good partner to work with. Having someone with prior knowledge to help is essential, especially in the beginning, as you might feel lost otherwise.

I rate UiPath Platform a ten out of ten.
