Can automate several processes with only one bot and is easy to implement, administer, and use

We have tried other RPA solutions like UiPath or Automation Anywhere. They are fantastic products but complex, and it's hard to understand everything. It would be best if you had a skilled developer or several. Automate is easy to implement, administer, and use. It's appropriate for us because our cases are simple and easy to automate. We don't need complicated tools with many features; We prefer to get a significant ROI quickly. We can automate several processes with only one bot, so it's much cheaper than other products where you need to buy additional licenses. We need a good value for our automation. The other solutions might be more robust, but Automate is perfect for us because we're not a large enterprise.

Terminal emulator enhances efficiency while error handling needs improvement

There are improvements needed in error handling processes, as currently, they rely on start and end error commands. A more strategic approach could enhance efficiency. While the implementation of a structured development approach has been introduced, further enhancements could be made to accommodate non-technical users better, perhaps by making the platform more accessible and user-friendly through a flowchart or diagram-based setup. Automation Anywhere can be moderately challenging for business users without technical skills. While the platform offers some drag-and-drop functionality, building automation requires a strong understanding of logical operations and scripting. To become proficient, users may need to invest time in learning basic coding concepts or pursuing relevant certifications. This learning curve can mean that users typically require a few months of training before they can effectively build and implement automation.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The ability to connect to websites and pull data is the solution's most valuable feature."

"The best feature of Automate is its ease of use, which is a major selling point."

"This product is quite easy to install, learn, and use, with our new employees being able to start using it in projects for clients after only two weeks of internal training."

"The solution is continuously adding more integrations to help with workflows and bot and task creation."

"The most valuable feature is the drag-and-drop interface, which is very Windows-like."

"The licensing of the product is very good. You only need to license it once and then you have it forever."

"The product effectively handles all the tasks we require."

"It gives us a central place to schedule tasks and run them distributed."

More Fortra's Automate pros

"During the digital transformation of a company, the number of internal portals and applications increases leading to an increased number of data silos."

"While RPA is the cutting-edge technology to bring digital transformation, the RPA as a service will reduce costs and increase efficiency with ease of deployment, less maintenance, and cheaper upgrade costs."

"Easy to access: Without the need to download and install software on a local machine, we can access the RPA application from virtually anywhere."

"Unattended use is its most valuable feature."

"Before switching to the cloud version of Automation Anywhere, I worked with v10 and v10, so I appreciate the core functionality and the fact that it's a low-code solution. That is one of the key elements that differentiates Automation Anywhere from other platforms and one of the reasons we have been able to achieve success."

"It has reduced the number of full-time employees."

"It integrates with different types of applications, so we can automate our business partners' redundant, repetitive tasks."

"Recorders and Bot Insights are very valuable features."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."

"We find the OCR feature very valuable, due to the corrector recognition that it provides; this is very useful for document processing."

"The drag and drop feature, which is no code, is very useful for me because I am not a technical person. It is very user-friendly."

"The product's setup is straightforward."

"ElectroNeek was extremely easy to use, especially its UI was easy to navigate with limited training."

"My favorite feature is that you can have unlimited bots without having to buy more licenses. That's a powerful option for scalability."

"The solution is user-friendly with a really good UI and ID."

"The cost is the best thing about ElectroNeek."

More ElectroNeek pros

Cons

"I would like to see some better web automation, a wizard like the one in the product WinAutomation would be very nice."

"The product also has a limited use case in some respects."

"Fortra's Automate is not as reliable as I would like it to be."

"Error messages should be better. For error status, there should be better documentation because a lot of times, error messages that you get are quite vague. For example, you get a message saying that the workflow has run into an unknown status, which is vague. It just tells you that it failed, but you don't know how or why it failed. It makes debugging difficult."

"I believe we need to test various OCR tools that assist in evaluating, let's say, six different customer resyncs. We analyze their spending patterns and documentations, but current OCR support has limitations, requiring highly standardized documents, which isn't always the case. With a more advanced OCR system, we could improve processes related to credit risk management and legal matters. We're exploring how to integrate Fortra's Automate with our CRM platform, taking cues from instances where Salesforce seamlessly merged with Automate. However, we use a different CRM, Insight for New Enterprise, and we're seeking ways to connect the automation process within our CRM. We aim for the automation to continue smoothly, even in instances where traditional automation methods might face hurdles."

"While this solution is continually improving, as it is now, the user interface could use improvement when I compare it to a product like UiPath."

"It's possible that they could use a stronger community for seeking guidance and help."

"The solution has a very weak knowledge base."

More Fortra's Automate cons

"We are still hoping to see improvements in its ability to have the client answer automatically and reconnect when Windows updates are applied."

"I would like to see GitHub or GitLab integration in the next version."

"If there were one thing I could ask for it would be a text-based language. Right now it's proprietary, so you always have to go through the tool, even for things like basic compares."

"We do not have a precise area that needs improvement, but sometimes while running bots that traverse through different websites, the screen hangs or takes time to fully load."

"I would like more with OCR and data capture. We are partnering with IBM to help bridge this gap, but Automation Anywhere should continue to expand on their product line and provide these capabilities, as well."

"The areas that need improvement are the license management, user access permission, user role access management, and technical support."

"The product should improve on Voice Recognition and IoT pretty soon, as this is the next big thing in and I would like to see this upgraded in the next release."

"We would like a smoother process for moving bots and tasks between the different development environments, from development to testing to production. We find this to be pretty cumbersome to work through."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"Its price could definitely be lower."

"I think that this solution could improve remote desktop interactions."

"The integrating capability of the product needs to be improved, to ensure that it works with all systems involved in a process."

"When I wanted to use web scraping for tables in web applications, I found through online forums that such functionality or activity is currently not working as it shows."

"The solution works well with Google Chrome, but not with Microsoft Edge, which is the browser we use for automation."

"The solution needs to improve its stability."

"ElectroNeek comes with three activities and we cannot add activities like we can with uiPADs."

"It's not applicable to very large enterprises and for difficult work or more complex processes."

More ElectroNeek cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Once you buy the software, you just pay for the support for backend help."

"From a distributor's side, one of the biggest selling points is its price point. Without going into any numbers, compared to UiPath, Automation Anywhere, and Blue Prism, we're significantly cheaper. The main difference is that other competitors usually charge you per process. However, in Automate's case, it's priced per bot. So, a bot can run multiple processes at the same time, but you are only priced for a single bot."

"It comes with a package that costs approximately $20,000 USD per year."

"The cost is a bit high for a small business like ours, but we manage with Fortra's Automate."

"The pricing is quite reasonable. We can run the process with one bot. The limitation is at the server level because they have some resources, and sometimes that is enough. It isn't too expensive, so you can get a good return off of one, and you can also have a pack of five bots that is quite competitive."

"I like the way this solution is priced because you can buy a license, or you can buy the software outright."

"Compared to other products, the pricing model for this solution is much more convenient, flexible, and adaptable to the Portuguese reality."

"I believe the price falls within a reasonable range, which significantly influenced our decision regarding the product. This aspect is crucial for any technological solution, especially in our country where enterprises might be hesitant to invest heavily in something untested or uncertain about its practicality and potential returns."

More Fortra's Automate pricing and cost advice

"We only deal in annual licenses. There are no pay-as-you-go licenses."

"We are not receiving the right information about their features, e.g. Automation Anywhere University, or anything that they are selling. They need to improve their documentation."

"It is somewhere in the middle. The price and value of Automation Anywhere are better than UiPath. The pricing is good globally. It could be a little bit cheaper, but it is good."

"When you compare the cost of Automation Anywhere with UiPath and Blue Prism, those others are much less. Licensing-wise, UiPath wins the deal."

"Our advice is that anybody interested in this product should negotiate product bundles in order to reduce the cost of installation and setup."

"The setup cost for this is onetime and licensing is based on your choice of product."

"The pricing and licensing of Automation Anywhere plays an important rule in the Indian market because in the Indian market $10,000 USD is too much. Hence, the pricing tends to go down depending on the customer relationship with the partner: A starter pack is $10,000 and an enterprise pack is $100,000. If you go through an implementation partner, you can get good deals. They can save some money."

"I think the solution's pricing is reasonable."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"It's very affordable and the licensing is billed on a yearly basis."

"I believe we had a Silver Membership or something similar annually."

"I give the price an eight out of ten."

"Its price could definitely be lower. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. There is no additional cost to the standard licensing fees."

"My company has made a payment towards the purchase of a license from ElectorNeek."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a seven."
