Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If we want to change your processes, we can code it from scratch, making it a beneficial feature of the product."

"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 most valuable feature of AutomationEdge is creating accounts."

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

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

"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."

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

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

More AutomationEdge pros

"The solution's ease of use is its most valuable aspect."

"The solution is scalability."

"It's not inclusive, in terms of automation, you can just do it standalone, in its own silo. It's not going to force your existing system or teams, your admin teams, to create new IDs for you or even force them to create new services or APIs for you or expose something from there. They can just keep the way they are doing it right now, but you still automate it."

"The feature I found most valuable is the TCO."

"If you have a business process, and once you have automated that process, you have a readily available workflow in place."

"IBM Robotic Process Automation is very easy to use."

"It is easy to use. We have enabled our resources who don't have a background in automation to be certified and trained, then implement this product within a very short period of time, as it is very user-friendly."

"The initial setup is very easy."

More IBM Robotic Process Automation (RPA) pros

Cons

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

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

"They could provide more technologies for IT and security to enhance machine learning capabilities."

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

"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."

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

"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."

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

More AutomationEdge cons

"We are looking to see how it can connect with various interfaces seamlessly, through APIs."

"We would like a decreased need for customer support."

"We can use its inbuilt activities, and it's a complete package, but just like ElectroNeek, a limitation is that we have to depend on its inbuilt activities. We can't include our own activities or we can't introduce other activities."

"IBM should provide specific solutions for specific problems, like templates for invoicing processes, or general templates for creating efficient processes."

"This RPA should be under the umbrella of BPM. This is what the future should be."

"I would like to improve the efficiency of this solution and the Surface Level Agreement."

"The product must be promoted more."

"The scalability of the solution can be challenging."

More IBM Robotic Process Automation (RPA) cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is available at the lowest price."

"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 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."

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

"The license is paid annually."

"The product is reasonably priced compared to other tools."

"The product has a yearly licensing fee."

"There is a free trial for one month, so you can use it to run your payloads or proof of concept. After that, you can pay for the license on a monthly or annual basis."

"IBM licensing is annual and based on Virtual Processor Cores (VPC). This provides flexibility as part of the containerization environment."

"I rate the pricing ten out of ten. So, the pricing is very good for me."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"IBM RPA is cheaper than other tools."
