"The process execution and all features are very good."
"As a developer, I found it easy to integrate third-party applications with Robocorp. I have previous experience with Selenium, and I found the Robocorp framework to be accessible because it uses Python and Selenium keywords."
"I have worked with UiPath and Automation Anywhere previously. Robocorp offers an improved development style and support as well as flexibility of its tools. You can easily develop custom libraries in Robocorp."
"The solution is based on Python which makes it very valuable."
"The ability to create separate organizations on this platform makes it easier to bill each of the clients separately."
"The product has a valuable business process automation feature."
"It supports Python runtime because of that, runtime also improves."
"It's easy to deploy bots via the API helper in Control Room. Robocorp's debugging features are also robust. It shows you a lot of data."
"With UiPath, development is easy because they have their own Studio. We just run UiPath Studio, drag and drop the components that we require, and connect all the dots. When we're doing website automation or web app automation, we can use their UI-based Studio and grab the elements from the web application using XPath, which makes the development easier."
"The most valuable feature of Orchestrator is that it gives you the ability to control everything from a centralized location."
"The bundling of the offerings into UiPath is quite important, so we don't have to go to several different vendors. We can try it out on our own and see if this is something we want to do. Then, we might bring in another partner or vendor to do some specialized training, debug the networks, etc. We're never going to get that capability ourselves. We don't have a large IT department nor do we have data scientists. For us, it's important that one or more of these skills are getting baked into the system."
"The product enables us to implement end-to-end automation."
"UiPath has multiple valuable features, including stability, automation, and integration with different applications."
"It is a single point of truth. There is no discrepancy or ambiguity. We can go to the leadership team, and say, "This is what it saves us on costs, man-hours, and effort that we used to do manually versus what we are doing now using the bots.""
"The support that we are receiving from UiPath is superb."
"It is as simple as dirt."
"We would also like an integrated PDF reader and better integration with custom solutions. The built-in Excel customization is limited, but we can still accomplish what we want using Python. We must rely on Python to customize processes in Robocorp. I don't know about the latest IDE from Robocorp, but the old one doesn't have a lot of activities."
"There are certain libraries in Python, such as those dealing with PDF automation and word files, that require the presence of certain external dependencies in the environment to be successfully used."
"I preferred the user interface in the older versions. When troubleshooting, it's sometimes hard to find details about where things went wrong. You need to search a little harder. It takes more clicks to get to where you want to go. It can be somewhat confusing. When you run a process that fails, it takes you somewhere you may not expect."
"It would be better if it were more user-friendly for non-technical users. It would be better if they had some drag-and-drop features to create logic."
"We use the latest version of the process studio and it takes up a lot of CPU storage. In our case, this has been up to 14 GB of storage."
"I don't like the complexity of deployment."
"They should fully develop Robocorp Studio because it would attract a lot of people to the Robocorp platform."
"The deployment process is complex and not straightforward, especially for legacy modernization."
"There should be more growth, but the platform is there. As they grow those things they should take each piece and make it better. If you start with a good platform and you build it up, it's going to get better. What we have today is very usable, and is only going to get better. I look forward to it."
"UiPath should also add activities for the Excel application like formatting Excel columns and rows."
"I would like to see anything that can increase the reliability of the processes."
"The user interface needs a little bit of improvement because it looks a little cheap due to being a very old tool. Otherwise, it works well."
"I'd like to see the ability to operate in a non-persistent environment. Other than that, I'd like to see more intelligence being built in. We aren't using any intelligence yet, but we'd like to."
"The Citrix automation - the way that it's fragile right now - if that could be made stronger and more stable, that would be icing on the cake for UiPath."
"On the investment side, it is a huge investment, especially with the current situation in Sri Lanka. If they can reduce the price or provide affordable packages, it will be very helpful."
"There is some room for improvement in the area of error handling. I had to create a custom approach to error handling. If there were some sort of activity or workflow that could be easily dropped in to help support that, it would be good. Error handling and logging, as well as process logging would be a big help."
