Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is remarkably easy to configure and code, and it doesn't require an extensive technical background or coding expertise.""The standout features of SAP Intelligent RPA are its flexibility and integration capabilities.""The initial setup of SAP Contextor is easy.""Contextor is a good solution for a Citrix environment. It's the first with this tool. Other tools provide the same functionality, but not with the Citrix environment.""Most of the details are already in the help portal and SAP notes are available. It is well documented as part of the product support.""The most valuable feature of SAP Contextor is that everyone is in one place in the program that I need.""Scalability is fine. It is pretty nice."

"If I need something, I go to my account managers, who are nice people. They respond back quickly and get back with a lot good options, which I like.""The ability to automate is the most valuable feature; UiPath has many prebuilt tools like drag and drop, which is excellent.""The tool's most valuable feature is its embedded activities.""The queue feature is the most interesting to me because it allows us to work on a list of tasks in parallel on several robots.""The solution has helped our organization save costs. It’s likely saved us about $10 million.""It is very easy to use, and you still have a lot of possibilities to modify what you are trying to do and achieve.""UiPath has definitely assisted us in speeding up our digital transformation journey. We have been able to create a whole bunch of different components that we reuse throughout our solutions. This means that when we have great, new ideas that we want to implement into our solutions, we have now found ways to do it in such a way that we spend less time trying to implement the fixes or cool new enhancements and more time actually realizing the value. In doing so, we have also seen a reduction in cost and an increase in FTE savings.""The GUI is valuable, and it's extremely stable. I've had six or seven Studios open at the same time working on different things and nothing has crashed on it."

Cons
"One way SAP Intelligent RPA could improve is by integrating built-in DI services for document processing.""I found that the SAP scripting of a program is easier than SAP Contextor.""The initial setup is of medium complexity. It is neither too hard nor too simple. You need some background in SAP and an understanding of it.""There should be more of an error, like a proper error feature, in future releases. Sometimes, we don't understand why that automation is not learning what, like, where it is stuck, or what is the reason like, or what is the criteria we are missing to add. So a proper error message would be helpful.""SAP Contextor could improve by automating some processes.""I would like to see a better capacity for unstructured data, for example, PDF, or text within images.""For potential features or improvements, one aspect I would suggest enhancing is the flexibility of the extraction process."

More SAP Intelligent RPA Cons →

"I would like more defined processes for around use cases. This might be helpful, as it is more general at the moment.""Usually, what happens is whenever we talk to a business stakeholder, the first concern is data security. And the moment that you talk about a bot in an unattended fashion going and reading the data source, concerns arise since there's not much control at a certain point.""They could always continue to add new features, however, I don't have anything specific in mind right now.""The initial setup was very complex. We had the data, but we had to streamline it. You can build a robot in 30 minutes, but the robot needs to get the data correctly.""The implementations or integrations through Citrix are really good. The only problem that we are coming across is just maintenance. If the Citrix platform gets updated and we're not notified, it breaks. So, we have to reconfigure our bot to the new updates. Unfortunately, that's just the name of the game, and that would be true if we were pulling them manually versus a bot.""I would like to see the setup improved. First we install it, then we log in with Orchestrator, and then we have to log in to the UiPath website. I would like all this to be merged into one setup.""However, challenges arise when attempting to automate multiple VPN connections.""The product must improve partner enablement and support midmarket partners."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This is not a tool or software with a license as others are. The SaaS model is based on the usage of the tool."
  • "The initial cost might seem higher, but over time, with continued use over five or ten years, the cost tends to decrease, making it a more economical choice."
  • "The pricing is not that expensive. It is manageable."
  • "It all comes with a bundle right now. Having advanced features, it is competitively priced."
  • More SAP Intelligent RPA Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It costs much less and it does much more than the competitors' solutions."
  • "The pricing differs on the requirements. If there is a huge purchase, then we get a discount. There is not a fixed pricing of the product."
  • "If you want to do a demo trial, it is a 30 days free."
  • "The community edition is completely free. Then, people say, "There is nothing to lose, let me try it.""
  • "There are operational benefits in terms of time savings and user satisfaction of not having to do menial, repetitive tasks."
  • "Traditionally, Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism are the biggest things competing against UiPath. Those are usually what most of the clients lean towards, if they see a cheaper licensing option. Clients choose UiPath because it's easier to deploy and learn within their teams."
  • "We saw ROI in 15 days."
  • "They give it away in the community edition for free, so I use it at home."
