Associate Manager - Retail Banking Operation at IDFCFIRST

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.

User-friendly interface and good stability

I would recommend using IBM RPA. I would advise you to learn about your main processes to automate inside your company. So you can apply it in big and small processes depending on the investment for your company. That is an advantage or not. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. It has some difficulty in the tool, but it's a very stable and useful tool for automating processes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"We can quickly adapt to our end users."

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

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

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

"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 most valuable feature of AutomationEdge is creating accounts."

"The ability to automate our processes with external plug-ins and zero code is the most valuable feature."

More AutomationEdge pros

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

"Integrating the tool with SAP, EBS, or other ERPs is easy."

"IBM RPA helped us resolve a lot of difficult cases we could not resolve using other solutions."

"The initial setup is very easy."

"The quality is great! It's very strong and has a very strong platform."

"The solution’s performance is good."

"IBM Robotic Process Automation has greatly improved the organization by improving the speed of performance, as the speed of the robot is estimated to be 20 times faster than the human being."

"We can connect with different database types, and they have included a different package for a terminal connection to, for example, AS400. When it comes to UI development, it's not using the drivers or anything. It's not a selector-based development like UiPath."

More IBM Robotic Process Automation (RPA) pros

Cons

"The price of the solution could be improved."

"It's not an intuitive tool."

"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."

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

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

"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."

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

"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

"Extensibility is the key, especially in terms of the Recorders feature that we have. That should be browser independent. Enhance it because some people have Chrome, some have Internet Explorer, etc. Also, integration with PDFs: Not just the ability to read information from PDFs but the ability to write information from PDFs, make it secure, sign it, etc. Finally, if they can allow a token exchange inside the tool itself, that would help."

"I would like it to do pretty much everything out-of-the-box without any need for any customization. However, that is not the case right now. We absolutely have to do some amount of customization with the solution in order to use it out-of-the-box as-is."

"The product's document readers must be improved to capture the data well."

"The users should be allowed to create folders in Control Center."

"Needs better integration with artificial intelligence or with machine-learning."

"There are certain limitations in the solution for screen reading."

"The time it takes for approvals, and risk analysis could be faster."

"IBM Robotic Process Automation should be more stable."

More IBM Robotic Process Automation (RPA) cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"IBM RPA is cheaper than other tools."

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

"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."

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

"The product has a yearly licensing fee."

"The pricing is reasonable for this solution."

"The pricing is reasonable."

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