Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The initial setup of SAP Contextor is easy.""It is remarkably easy to configure and code, and it doesn't require an extensive technical background or coding expertise.""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.""The standout features of SAP Intelligent RPA are its flexibility and integration capabilities.""Scalability is fine. It is pretty nice.""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."

"UiPath is a tool which is mostly used for process automation.""In terms of ROI, we are saving more than what the platform costs us. We are at about 1.5 million in savings due to a recent automation. It was a little less than that before. These are soft savings and don't show up on balance sheets. We're trying to work toward automations that actually do lead to hard savings. We've saved about 43,000 hours in a year so far.""The user-friendly interface allows users to visually plan and design various automation processes through it.""The speed to market is amazing because an automation can go from the initial planning conversation to production in weeks.""It's pretty affordable for what you get.""It is user-friendly and significantly speeds up the development process.""We have found it to be quite valuable as we actively deploy and use bots, which have become a significant asset to our operations.""Studio and StudioX are really powerful tools."

Cons
"For potential features or improvements, one aspect I would suggest enhancing is the flexibility of the extraction process.""One way SAP Intelligent RPA could improve is by integrating built-in DI services for document processing.""SAP Contextor could improve by automating some processes.""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.""I would like to see a better capacity for unstructured data, for example, PDF, or text within images.""I found that the SAP scripting of a program is easier than SAP Contextor."

More SAP Intelligent RPA Cons →

"The user interface needs a little bit of improvement in terms of performance. Sometimes, it slows down, but it depends on the OS that you have. If you are running it on Microsoft Windows, it is slower than on macOS or Linux.""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.""They could focus more on UiPath Studio. I would like to see them add more features for developers who have a deeper understanding of programming languages.""The UiPath Community does not provide version control for the community edition.""One feature I think it needs - from a documentation perspective - is the ability to easily extract variable details and data... Sometimes it's difficult to extract those, and if you're not tracking them while you build, you can quickly get into 200 to 300 variables in use, especially using the RE Framework where you're passing workflow arguments in and out. I would like to see something like that.""We experienced some performance issues because our libraries are growing and we experience crashes from time to time.""The add-ons are not well documented.""While UiPath works super well with other applications and browsers and app pages that we use in the RedLINK wires, when it comes to experience, sometimes it doesn't detect what it's supposed to be doing as easily."

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."
