  • I will praise its integration with other software that has facilitated us to make amendments in the data across those platforms.
  • Its interface is very easy and user friendly.

  • UiPath is actually easy to learn, the training material is effective and to the point. UiPath certainly has the capabilities to automate manual repetitive tasks that involve any platform, with a stronger preference for websites.
  • There is room from improvement when dealing with Excel automation, but the solution is to create Excel macros and have the robot to call it, making it a great team solution.

This platform has so much potential and have been garnering a lot of attention by proving benefits in terms of saving operational and manpower costs. I am sure with minute efforts we were able to achieve our ROI and the same is the case with many of our customers whom we have been working around Digital Automation initiatives.

Usability
On more complex use cases, Automation Anywhere requires technical background like knowledge on network protocols and database language on task creation, and even people with technical background might have some trouble in the beginning because of the product particularities on how variable manipulation works, or how to get the object cloning (a more resilient screen manipulation command) to work as intended. The scheduling of tasks on the Control Room and the autologin feature isn't intuitive as they should, so much of this works requires documentation analysis to get it done on the first time.

There are two main reasons with this rating 1. UiPath Automation Platform requires the old school type of Change Weather management, Which actually eats a lot of time to manage and roll out the recent changes. There is not something kind of CI/CD when you are developing the things With UiPath Automation Platform. 2. Very high development and maintenance cost, which actually decrease its usability.

Support Rating
Automation Anywhere is a great tool for a low cost, fairly easily scalable, and quickly learned. The company is growing by leaps and bounds and continually pushing the automation boundaries. The problem with fast expansion is that sometimes you can grow more quickly than you can appropriately support your products. While Automation Anywhere has an excellent support structure in place, every company and situation is different, and they often struggle with why problems arise in the system and how to fix them.

Alternatives Considered
Automation Anywhere is the most comprehensive, end-to-end automation platform out of the three. It offers a wider range of functionality than Blue Prism and UiPath. Its powerful features allow automation of complex tasks, creating smarter bots to streamline business processes. Automation Anywhere’s features are also very progressive, supporting web scraping and creating AI-driven automation capability. Additionally, it requires less redevelopment for updates than the other two options as its development platform is one of the most user-friendly designs available.

The choice of Automation Anywhere over the others was made due to its comprehensive features and progressive capabilities that will make our enterprise more efficient in automation functionalities. The large library of functions provided by Automation Anywhere makes it easier for us to find the right solution quickly, without having to develop extensive scripting knowledge if needed during projects.

Ease of use: UiPath Automation Platform has a drag-and-drop interface that makes it easy to create and manage automation workflows. It also has a large community of developers who have created pre-built automation components that can be easily integrated into workflows. EdgeVerve AssistEdge, on the other hand, has a more complex interface that may require additional training. Scalability: UiPath Automation Platform is highly scalable, which means it can handle large volumes of data and processes. EdgeVerve AssistEdge is also scalable, but may not be as robust as UiPath Automation Platform.

Return on Investment
  • Customer satisfaction has increased. They are pleased with faster development and execution.
  • Cost internally for our company is heavy and the client doesn't bear the full cost for it.
  • We didn't need to train our staff a lot for this. Just a week of overview was enough to get started.

  • One of the fully automated processes required 10 minutes of work by a consultant for each ticket. This means that after 8 hours of uninterrupted work (but no one can work continuously for 8 hours) the consultant would have closed 48 tickets. The robot for the same process takes 30 seconds, so in 8 hours it works 960 tickets.
  • A robot can work 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
  • The UiPath platform is composed of a server part called Orchestrator that provides all the tools to efficiently schedule the robots.
