Account Director at Software Greenhouse

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.

An RPA tool to automate functions, tasks, and processes that also allows users to do coding from the scratch

The initial setup of AutomationEdge was satisfactory for our company. For deployment for a large process, it will take around two months to develop the process. Else, it can be done in fifteen days. My organization gets to automate the banking processes using the solution. There are different requirements for different departments. Finance departments need something to automate their processes, and the requirements may vary for the information management department. There is a different type of automation requirement if there are some secretive documents that we have to keep on triggering mail.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the interface; it makes managing automation easy. We can set different schedules and templates for each task."

"The pricing is excellent. I would give them perfect marks in that regard."

"It's very easy to use. That's a big selling point for it. It has got a drag-and-drop interface, so you can quickly deploy bots."

"The interface is simple, user-friendly, and very intuitive."

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

"The most valuable features for my client are timing and scheduling."

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

"We are still in the process of rolling it to production and tweaking it (our AD groups are a mess), but the improvements are priceless. Having users ID's created the same way every time without human error is the best part. We don't need to worry about why groups were not added, user rights not set to folders or missing a private folder being created, typos or just even knowing when things are done and logged."

More Fortra's Automate pros

"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."

"The most valuable feature of AutomationEdge is creating accounts."

"We can quickly adapt to our end users."

"The initial setup was easy and straightforward."

"It is a valuable tool for developing efficient solutions, especially in finance and banking."

"The product's most valuable feature is the executor."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support of the solution a nine out of ten."

"It helps us with cost optimization and easy implementation."

More AutomationEdge pros

"The product's setup is straightforward."

"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 most valuable feature is the price."

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

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

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

"The cost is the best thing about ElectroNeek."

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

More ElectroNeek pros

Cons

"They do not encrypt passwords, so this is an issue with HIPAA compliance."

"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."

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

"The workflow for variables could be better. The input and output of task-level variables could be made a little clearer in terms of passing those around from one task to another upon success, etc. Things like that could be a little easier potentially."

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

"There is room for improvement regarding cloud functionality; there are a few missing features, and the logging could be better, especially air logging. We can go into logging events and create our own task, but it would be nice if this were more detailed."

"We really need a free development environment for customers. Building and testing automation on production isn't ideal."

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

More Fortra's Automate cons

"AutomationEdge's primary issue is its price point, especially compared to other products."

"The installation process could improve. It was difficult to complete."

"It's not an intuitive tool."

"We cannot use extra modules while working with AutomationEdge. It crashes if we have lots of data to process in Excel."

"The price of the solution could be improved."

"With the solution, customizing software can be time-consuming."

"There are some shortcomings in the product's stability that need improvement."

"In the future, they should have a similar version for the cloud and on-premises, and the installation should be flawless within few minutes."

More AutomationEdge cons

"The solution needs to improve its stability."

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

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

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

"Its price could definitely be lower."

"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."

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

"The pricing is an area with a shortcoming, and from an improvement perspective, it needs to be made cheaper."

More ElectroNeek cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

"From a distributor's perspective, one of the biggest selling points of Automate is its price point."

"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."

More Fortra's Automate pricing and cost advice

"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 product is available at the lowest price."

"The licensing for this solution should have a more competitive pricing model. The price is in the top five of similar products."

"Price-wise, AutomationEdge is pretty affordable, making it not so expensive when you compare this with other tools in the market."

"I give the price of the solution a nine out of ten."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

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