In my communication with different consulting companies and peers, UiPath is the most famous.
There is an indefinite personal free version and a 60-day enterprise free trial version.
Free online courses are highly interactive. There are videos, handouts, exercises and answers, and there are exams after each class. There are not only courses designed for people who want to be RPA developers, but also RPA will get a certificate if they want to be RPA project managers.
A complete ecosystem, with its own forum for everyone to ask questions and exchange, and code developed by other people or teams to share. The platform also provides a complete data table, KPI and some key indicators. Support users to submit tasks to RPA groups to evaluate the feasibility of automation.
2. Anywhere Automation (AA)
And UiPath are competitors. Both companies are commercial companies with the largest market share in RPA field.
Provide an indefinite personal free trial version.
For small businesses, the price of basic configuration is much more friendly than that of the same type of UiPath.
Provide courses for software learning.
3. Tagwe
Free open source tools.
Available for Windows, macOS and Linux. Support the automation of web pages, mouse/keyboard, OCR and image recognition. For a detailed introduction of TagUI, please click on the User Guide.
TagUI can be used through Python API.
Can be combined with different deep learning models through API/Python/R! Some data scientists I mentioned are doing practical work in this field.
4. Olives
The company specializes in providing RPA services for the medical industry. Its business model is to install their robots for enterprises or hospitals in the medical industry, and then we pay for the services provided by these robots by paying a fixed salary. All maintenance and management expenses are included in the salary. That is, the increasingly popular AI-as-a-Service(AIaaS) mode.
5.Microsoft Power Automate？
For enterprises using Microsoft 365 office series products, it is undoubtedly a great weapon. Very friendly operation. There are many templates that can be used directly. The approval process in SharePoint is realized by using Power Automate.
From setting up email reminders to saving email contents to Excel tables and synchronizing with SharePoint, you can create a process to realize it. At present, we are trying to convert some manual office processes into RPA. The price is much more close to the people than some of the charged products listed above.
