Automates processes efficiently with cost-effective scaling and robust customer support
Web scraping is quite good since it offers a lot of possibilities. Another important feature for me is its compatibility with MBI, the Power that is ISEQUADO Centers. I appreciate the ability to scale and increase the number of bots or studios without additional expense. Automate's non-reliance on additional orchestrators makes it quite cost-effective.
Mohamed Salah Baccouche - PeerSpot reviewer
Way more efficient for debugging than other tools but the UI is complicated
The UI is more complicated than other tools. In Power Automate, it doesn't even feel like you are working because the tool does the job for you. But in the solution, there are studio, process, and object interfaces and you have to decode your own objects. The free objects that are predefined are not good compared to other tools. There is still a lot of work to do on the solution's intelligent automation part.
Sarath Gopinathan Nair - PeerSpot reviewer
User-friendly, good UI, but does not work well with Microsoft Edge
We use the solution to automate processes such as the pay slips within the consol portal The solution is user-friendly with a really good UI and ID. The support is good. ElectroNeek has video recordings that enable us to easily automate tasks, and it includes a wide variety of activities. The…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have found the pricing to be very reasonable."
"Overall, the whole product is really nice and provides significant benefits."
"The most valuable features for my client are timing and scheduling."
"Web scraping is quite good since it offers a lot of possibilities."
"We use it for specific cases, mainly secure file transfers, which are vital for us. And it works for us."
"I would rate the technical support as a nine out of ten because it is quite fast and courteous."
"Fortra's Automate has effectively replaced the workload of an entire employee, saving us significant time and money."
"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."
"One of the most powerful features in Blue Prism is exception handling. It's one of the features that really differentiates it from other platforms."
"A feature I like about Blue Prism is the Control Room and how easy it is to find exceptions, to find common issues, and to troubleshoot your exceptions. Your Control Room person, without any development skills, can easily pick up what the problem is, with the exceptions, especially when there are a lot of exceptions related to one use case or process."
"We've started to use some of the new features such as translation, cognitive, and we are finding them useful. We are also finding API integrations very useful."
"You can easily see where all your problems lie, in a visual way. It's always nice to have a visual representation of things... Seeing things at one glance makes a lot of difference, instead of having to read through the fine print and see where the issues are."
"The web-based designer is very user-friendly and easy to use."
"The most valuable improvement in utilizing process automation is the cost savings, but we have also had cases where the customer experience is enhanced."
"The credential manager and logs are most valuable. We are using Blue Prism for complex processes because it is easier to troubleshoot in Blue Prism, and the logs are very accurate. It provides the ability to create smaller tasks, which makes it easier to troubleshoot."
"It's quite easy to use and easy to understand the process studio."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"My favorite feature is that you can have unlimited bots without having to buy more licenses. That's a powerful option for scalability."
"ElectroNeek was extremely easy to use, especially its UI was easy to navigate with limited training."
"The most valuable feature is the price."
"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 solution is user-friendly with a really good UI and ID."
"We find the OCR feature very valuable, due to the corrector recognition that it provides; this is very useful for document processing."
"The cost is the best thing about ElectroNeek."
 

Cons

"The OCR for Hebrew text needs to be improved."
"I currently have three bugs open with them that I don't know if they are addressed in the new release."
"It's possible that they could use a stronger community for seeking guidance and help."
"The documentation is not that great."
"I would prefer not having to log in to update a ticket; being able to respond via email would be beneficial."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and easier to navigate."
"The documentation for errors needs improvement as many of the error messages we receive are very vague."
"Sometimes when we communicate with the ERP system and there is an issue, we are not always aware of the specifics of Automate and the source of the problem."
"Blue Prism can improve on the ease of use of its graphic user interface(GUI)."
"Blue Prism could be more scalable."
"The recording of the transaction is missing in this solution."
"The UI is more complicated than other tools."
"The domain in regards to cognitive abilities and the use of processing activity needs improvement. They have added this capability, but that's not really big in the public. It is more also available for gold partners. So they should improve the user activity for the public or even the regular customer."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see support for attended robots."
"We would like to see intelligent process automation that integrates RPA and machine learning."
"Its image recognition or the OCR part should be improved. The quality has improved in the latest version, but some of the handwritten documents are not that accurate. Its interaction with the Citrix environment should also be improved. Their technical support should also be improved."
"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."
"It's not applicable to very large enterprises and for difficult work or more complex processes."
"The solution works well with Google Chrome, but not with Microsoft Edge, which is the browser we use for automation."
"Its price could definitely be lower."
"The integrating capability of the product needs to be improved, to ensure that it works with all systems involved in a process."
"ElectroNeek comes with three activities and we cannot add activities like we can with uiPADs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It comes with a package that costs approximately $20,000 USD per year."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Once you buy the software, you just pay for the support for backend help."
"From a distributor's perspective, one of the biggest selling points of Automate is its price point."
"My clients tend to feel that the overall implementation cost is a little high."
"I chose Blue Prism because it is priced well. The pricing was right for me at that moment even though Automation Anywhere is better in other aspects."
"Blue Prism has a really simple licensing model, where the licenses are not confusing and there are no hidden costs the way there are in UiPath."
"Other than your infrastructure, in terms of servers that you have to set up, I don't think that there are any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"This is a very expensive product and this is the reason that they're losing their market share."
"The licensing is approximately $1,100."
"Blue Prism has a higher cost with respect to RPA enablement, particularly if you are trying to start with RPA."
"Our customers pay for an annual license."
"I believe we had a Silver Membership or something similar annually."
"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."
"It's very affordable and the licensing is billed on a yearly basis."
"Its price could definitely be lower. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. There is no additional cost to the standard licensing fees."
"My company has made a payment towards the purchase of a license from ElectorNeek."
