We could not operate our business without it anymore.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We have been using UiPath for a number of years now to digitalize HR service processes within the whole employee lifecycle. RPA is now at the core of our operations and for us it is an easy and reliable way to speed up simple repetitive tasks, take pressure from more complex ones and formalize/standardize our service delivery.
Pros
- Orchestration of multiple processes (incl. prioritization, scheduling)
- Error tracking/logs
- Integration with other vendors (OCR)
Cons
- Studio is running quite slow for us
- It could produce its own documentation throughout the screens used
- We have trouble keeping and cleaning up our 200+ processes with all the new frameworks (Windows-Legacy -> Legacy, new Studio versions...)
Return on Investment
- Automating most of our business processes has brought us a lot of FTE realization
- We have speed up services and now offer 24/7 services for some processes
- Where applicable, we have employees in the loop between multiple processes to gain additional insight knowledge

Pros
- UI automations
- Seamless API integration or UI integration with third-party applications
- Extremely good in scaling up the bots according to the Load
Cons
- One of the major problem which I see is that if one bot is using a VM, another bot cannot use the VM at the same time, even though the existing process is not consuming that much memory or processor. There should be some kind of virtualization for the bots to use the same vm for multiple processes simultaneously.
- UiPath Automation Platform is extremely costly
Return on Investment
- UiPath Automation Platform decreases the manual error rate to almost hundred percent on the business processes which we have automated.
- Due to the scalability solution, UiPath Automation Platform increases the turnaround time for the business processes to almost 70%.
- The downside with the UiPath Automation Platform is that the development cost is huge, You should have very well development teams in place to start Automations with UiPath Automation Platform.

Automation made easy
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I came across this tool during one of the most tedious moments in my career. The company is on the verge of major organization re-structuring, and like most start-ups, most of the data are in a spreadsheet, so when I have to lead account deactivation and or account deletion, it has to be done in a manual way, with few hundreds within the list, it is for sure a very time consuming with prone to mistake kind of job, after research and read from many forums, I decided to use this tool to execute the step by step (RPA Mode) and all our intentions were achieved in less than 2 hours, It was neat, quick and do what you ask it to do.
Pros
- Structured tasks.
- Structured flows.
Cons
- It is literally work by taking over the machine, maybe a background work would be awesome.
Most Important Features
- Automatic task executions.
Return on Investment
- Executing one account will take us 5 minutes; for 400 accounts, we will need a few people to do it and still need more hours, while the tools are just efficient.
