An RPA tool to automate functions, tasks, and processes that also allows users to do coding from the scratch
In my company, we use AutomationEdge as an RPA tool, which has to automate the automatic functions within our company on a daily basis for repetitive tasks. We need to automate the aforementioned functions in a short period of time with AutomationEdge. I work in the banking sector, and we use…

The support team was great, but we had to rely on them too much because it lacks a drag-and-drop interface and everything is hard coded
Implementing new automations could be more seamless. It was challenging to build within, so we were highly dependent on Infosys developers. They had us over a barrel with that. AssistEdge isn't a simple tool like Blue Prism or other RPA solutions with configurable items that you can drag and drop. This involved a lot of hard coding, which posed two challenges. One, we did not have that skillset, so we depended on Infosys. Two, it's a beast to go back and update or make changes when things are hard coded because you can't just move those configurable items back around.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a valuable tool for developing efficient solutions, especially in finance and banking."
"The most valuable feature of AutomationEdge is creating accounts."
"The studio design is fine compared to other similar products. There is nothing extraordinary about it, but at the same time, there are not any negatives."
"It helps us with cost optimization and easy implementation."
"If we want to change your processes, we can code it from scratch, making it a beneficial feature of the product."
"The ability to automate our processes with external plug-ins and zero code is the most valuable feature."
"The chatbot that they have is most valuable. It is one of the best features because they own it, and they don't need to integrate with other parties to have a chatbot. This is one of the main features. The rest of the features are common to all RPA tools or vendors available in the market."
"The initial setup was easy and straightforward."
"Good email automation and XL automation."
"The tool follows a role-based working model to create things. It helps to track what others are doing with the system."
"The feature I like the most is the ability to capture elements easily, especially when automating web-based applications. Additionally, I find the SAP connectors to be quite beneficial."
"The user interface is not complicated, even for new users. Two to three weeks is enough to get ahold of it."
"AssistEdge made it so that the reps didn't need to maneuver through 10 or 20 different systems. We tied all that together in the background, so the reps had a shared UI, and everything else happened in the background without their knowledge. When they were retrieving data, it was done in the background through automation and pulling up to that generic UI layer"
 

Cons

"The installation process could improve. It was difficult to complete."
"With other automation solutions in the market, we can simulate the process in our notebooks where the solution creates the code for us, but with AutomationEdge we can't do this."
"In the future, they should have a similar version for the cloud and on-premises, and the installation should be flawless within few minutes."
"There are some shortcomings in the product's stability that need improvement."
"AutomationEdge's ecosystem has shortcomings and needs improvement. When we compare AutomationEdge to other RPA tools in our company, we find that it has a very minor online community."
"The price of the solution could be improved."
"With the solution, customizing software can be time-consuming."
"It's not an intuitive tool."
"The tool's alternatives work on drag-and-drop functionality without creating custom code. We don't have an in-built queue system and use RabbitMQ for it. The solution also doesn't have a framework."
"Lacks integration with third party tools."
"In my opinion, areas for improvement in this solution lie in handling documentation, especially when dealing with data from various layouts or formats like scanned PDFs. Currently, new features are emerging in other tools, like generative AI, that could enhance these aspects."
"There should be more activities like extraction for reading or converting PDFs. There are fewer activities compared to other tools. There are no custom activities."
"AssistEdge isn't a simple tool like Blue Prism or other RPA solutions with configurable items that you can drag and drop. This involved a lot of hard coding, which posed two challenges. One, we did not have that skillset, so we depended on Infosys. Two, it's a beast to go back and update or make changes when things are hard coded because you can't just move those configurable items back around."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing can be made better. Currently, I think the pricing is based on the market. The pricing also depends on the business partners that offer you the solution."
"I give the price of the solution a nine out of ten."
"It is expensive but its value can justify the cost."
"If you are looking for a budget solution, you can consider AE. It has all the features. Scaling it is way easier because of the cost itself."
"The licensing for this solution should have a more competitive pricing model. The price is in the top five of similar products."
"The product is available at the lowest price."
"Price-wise, AutomationEdge is pretty affordable, making it not so expensive when you compare this with other tools in the market."
"EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is cheaper compared to other RPA tools."
