Automation Suite and Cloud

Can anyone explain me the difference between automation Suite and automation cloud?
I want to be explained in layman’s term

Hi @Ritaman_Baral,

Automation suite is like your rental property, you have all the UiPath services under one building but you have to maintain it. (This could be hosted either in a cloud resource or on premises bare metal server/cluster). You choose which version you want to upgrade to (on all services)

Automation cloud is like a hotel, you have access to all your UiPath services. The backend infrastructure is maintained by UiPath. You are always at the latest version on most services.

@Ritaman_Baral,

UiPath Automation Suite:

  • Think of the Automation Suite as a package of tools and software that you install on your own computer or servers.
  • It includes different components like UiPath Studio (where you design automation workflows), UiPath Robot (which executes these workflows), and UiPath Orchestrator (which manages and schedules your automation processes).
  • With the Automation Suite, you have full control over your automation environment. You manage everything, from development to execution and monitoring, within your own infrastructure.

UiPath Automation Cloud:

  • Automation Cloud, on the other hand, is like the cloud-based version of UiPath’s automation tools.
  • Instead of installing software on your own machines, you access UiPath’s tools through the internet via a web browser.
  • It offers similar functionalities as the Automation Suite but is hosted and managed by UiPath in the cloud.
  • With Automation Cloud, you don’t have to worry about setting up servers or managing infrastructure. UiPath takes care of all that for you.
  • It’s more convenient for users who prefer a managed service and don’t want to deal with the technical aspects of hosting and maintaining automation software.

In summary, the main difference lies in where the software is hosted and managed. With Automation Suite, you manage it all on your own machines, while Automation Cloud provides a fully managed service in the cloud.

I have Used LLM to write this answer.

Thanks,
