Automate has streamlined workflows and increased efficiency with powerful automation
The best features of the solution are the flexible automation features, it is rich with beautiful connectors, and it is easy to use with little to no coding knowledge required to get started, so anybody can use the tool. The intuitive interface of Automate has an intuitive design, which makes it easy to learn and use even without a strong technical background, and it has a drag-and-drop interface, which makes everything so easy and straightforward. The error handling capabilities in complex automation tasks are powerful, as it handles all types of tasks, whether complex or simple. I've never faced any problems even when dealing with complex tasks, so everything is super smooth and highly reliable, even when dealing with big tasks, as it has never slowed down. Automate's compatibility with existing IT infrastructure has impacted our business operations positively by providing smooth integration with other software that we use, such as Gmail, Jira, and Microsoft 365 apps, which gives us a unified platform instead of having to keep switching from one software to another, saving a lot of time and streamlining the whole workflows. The automated analytics have helped improve our business processes since it has increased our efficiency by automating our everyday tasks, freeing up time for us to focus more on strategic activities such as analyzing data and developing new business strategies. It is also cost-saving. By minimizing manual labor, it decreases human errors that can lead to costly mistakes. By automating the tasks, it helps to save costs, and it also improves our accuracy by reducing these errors to ensure that tasks are done almost perfectly.

Delivers increased productivity and streamlines fraud processing in banking, though technical support could be faster
Before AutomationEdge, we had to hire coder-level experts with Java or Python knowledge. This approach took considerable time and required error handling to automate processes. With this tool, all processes are automatically handled with errors, and no-code automation is available. The cost for a developer is now significantly lower. Previously, we hired highly efficient developers with high salary packages. The license cost of 5 to 10 lakhs per year for one person to automate is equivalent to a person's annual salary. With the license and a developer hired at 3 to 5 lakhs, we can automate 40 to 50 processes.

Delivery Head at Emergys Mexico
Implementation successfully automates operations but support response requires improvement
There are other INTELLIBOT products available in the market that are superior and have been around for a long time. ServiceNow's product could improve by increasing its promotion. Customer support could also be improved, as they are slow to respond and appear to have policies that do not provide sufficient support for partners. They expect partners to be self-sufficient, which seems unusual for a product company.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The automated analytics have helped improve our business processes since it has increased our efficiency by automating our everyday tasks, freeing up time for us to focus more on strategic activities such as analyzing data and developing new business strategies."
"Overall, the whole product is really nice and provides significant benefits."
"A great feature that you seldom see in these kind of systems is the ability to use a database as trigger to launch a task. This is something I asked for a few years ago and that was added."
"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."
"It gives us a central place to schedule tasks and run them distributed."
"The pricing is excellent. I would give them perfect marks in that regard."
"I would rate the technical support as a nine out of ten because it is quite fast and courteous."
"Fortra's Automate performs the job effectively and has the capability to alert us of any issues."
"The initial setup was easy and straightforward."
"If we want to change your processes, we can code it from scratch, making it a beneficial feature of the product."
"The product's most valuable feature is the executor."
"We can quickly adapt to our end users."
"The staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect, even surprising us with a complimentary dessert to celebrate our anniversary."
"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."
"AutomationEdge has shown the most productive impact, and the productivity was excellent before, and now it can increase by 20 to 30% more with AI implementation."
"There's a helpful community available through the portal."
"This solution is easy to use and requires little coding knowledge."
"The replay of the automation is an awesome feature."
"One of the most valuable features of INTELLIBOT is the scripting, which is commonly available with engineers."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the straightforward visual editor, it has close to no code required. It allowed us to deploy the email monitoring in this couple of weeks."
"The return on investment is pretty good because the license cost is cheaper than other RPA tools in the market."
"For machine learning, there is an in-built document and text classification feature in INTELLIBOT. That is unlike other RPA tools where one needs to procure a separate license. Besides this, the application is easy to use. One valuable feature is the drag-and-drop feature for AI and email intelligence. It is easier than using UiPath's IQ bot."
"It is a stable product. We have been using it for 15 months now, and there have been no issues."
 

Cons

"The intelligent automation feature could be improved. It's interesting because it's simple, but the automation quality isn't always good. It's easy to use, but sometimes you need to make a slight improvement to the automation, and that's not so easy."
"Areas for improvement in Automate would be a more modern web-based workflow designer, an enhanced real-time monitoring dashboard, and built-in API integration tools for REST and SOAP."
"I find that most important features are strong, however, there is a lack of good development for artificial intelligence, such as machine learning."
"Currently, there are many instances where I see empty logs, indicating that, while tasks are scheduled, commands are not executing successfully."
"Some challenges include the system being too loaded or delayed in taking instructions and responding quickly as needed."
"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."
"It would be an improvement if Automate had better stability tools, whether by recommending a certain amount of memory because it can be a memory hog at times."
"I would prefer not having to log in to update a ticket; being able to respond via email would be beneficial."
"AutomationEdge's primary issue is its price point, especially compared to other products."
"They could provide more technologies for IT and security to enhance machine learning capabilities."
"Regarding stability and reliability, AutomationEdge is mid-range. When compared with other tools such as Automation Anywhere and UIPath, they are more stable than AutomationEdge."
"We cannot use extra modules while working with AutomationEdge. It crashes if we have lots of data to process in Excel."
"The ease of use is the main thing on which they really have to focus. If they want to go against the giants, it should be improved in ease of use, and it should be more user-friendly. It would be helpful because everyone should be empowered irrespective of whether they know how to code or not. They should enhance its user interface and make it more intuitive."
"In the future, they should have a similar version for the cloud and on-premises, and the installation should be flawless within few minutes."
"When compared with other tools such as Automation Anywhere and UIPath, they are more stable than AutomationEdge."
"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."
"A couple of times, we noticed that some bugs caused the bot to go in the wrong flow."
"There are other INTELLIBOT products available in the market that are superior and have been around for a long time. ServiceNow's product could improve by increasing its promotion."
"The trigger actions need to be more robust."
"The solution is heavily dependant on scripts, such as JavaScript or any other external script that needs to be a part of the system. If they want to grow, the scripting dependency should go away. They should have built-in libraries to pull in work from."
"I would like to see the cognitive marketing platform improved."
"Has limited functionality and uses extensive resources."
"The first pain point of INTELLIBOT was with the development. Whenever the company developed any command, they published it directly onto their SQL site, and our current automation got auto-updated. The second pain point was with the action set. It could be stronger. Moreover, if I am doing UiPath automation, I have to do it with the Internal Report for now."
"Currently, there are not many documents available on Google that explain each activity and how to use it or how to use the parameters and pass values."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm only involved in running the product and maintaining the systems, so I can't speak to the cost."
"It has gone up in price. The price of Fortra's Automate has increased since we first started using it. It does a lot but also costs a lot. It was a lot more affordable before Fortra owned the software."
"From a distributor's perspective, one of the biggest selling points of Automate is its price point."
"Once you buy the software, you just pay for the support for backend help."
"While solutions like UiPath and Blue Prism cost around $11,000-$12,000 for each license, this product costs around $7,000 and you can keep it forever."
"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."
"It comes with a package that costs approximately $20,000 USD per year."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"I give the price of the solution a nine out of ten."
"It is expensive but its value can justify the cost."
"INTELLIBOT with the DPA costs approximately $1,500 USD."
"At the time, one license was $5,000 USD. If we needed to negotiate for more licenses, we could negotiate a bit on the price."
"It is quite cheap. In the year 2019, it was $1000 for a year."
"The solution requires a license and we purchased one annually. We were satisfied with the price."
