Account Director at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

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.

Ganesh-Subramanian

Digital Transformation Lead at Expleogroup

Offers enhancement in data accuracy with low-code requirements and easy onboarding

It's a scalable product. In our organization, we sometimes write a script once and reuse it several times, which improves workflow efficiency. Our team inputs the datasets one by one or in a batch mode into BotFarm and schedules them or calls individually as needed. For instance, if one individual has 15 or 20 forms that need to be scanned and logged immediately, it's possible to implement with BotFarm and its scheduling operations. The solution is ideal for small and medium-sized enterprises and can fit in for large enterprises as well, depending upon the use case. For instance, if 100 agents are working across different locations through a mobile app, all the data from the agents can be stored in a common repository and scheduled. BotFarm can be configured based on the architecture and business operations.

Ishmael Munyai

Robotics Process Automation (RPA) Developer at Apollo Studios

With an easy initial setup phase in place, the tool needs to provide functionalities like web scraping to users

It is a very scalable solution. In ElectroNeek, you can build your project in modular programming or with the use of sub-programs. You can have a lot of sub-programs that make up a whole project. If you don't wanna use the drag-and-drop activities, you can use JavaScript or Python instead. So it's very useful when you are working with things such as SPS. Actually, you can write scripts to support all the product functionalities with Python and manage the product's functions. You will find a company named Apollo Studios on the website of ElectroNeek. I think they are one of the best companies in South Africa that entered into a partnership with ElectroNeek.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of Fortra's Automate include its FTP functionality and file manipulation capabilities."

"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."

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

"I would recommend Automate because it has made my work much easier."

"Overall, the whole product is really nice and provides significant benefits."

"I find the ease of use from a programming perspective very valuable."

"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."

"The most valuable feature is the drag-and-drop interface, which is very Windows-like."

More Automate pros

"The product has increased efficiency and reduced the time spent on tasks."

"The solution seems to offer high stability. We haven't seen any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze."

"The solution has been very user-friendly."

"The most valuable features are PDF extraction and emailing."

"The ability to drag and drop various components and the customizability are good features."

"The most important feature of BotFarm is web automation."

"The cost is the best thing about ElectroNeek."

More ElectroNeek pros

Cons

"The technical support could be better. We suffer from language barriers, as we are in Argentina."

"The documentation is not that great."

"Fortra's Automate is not as reliable as I would like it to be."

"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."

"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."

"Regarding customer support, I face challenges sometimes. They're not always available, and you may need to wait for assistance, but overall their support is acceptable."

"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."

"While this solution is continually improving, as it is now, the user interface could use improvement when I compare it to a product like UiPath."

More Automate cons

"The solution automation is incapable of interacting with our Pega software application development. It is based on the nested table concept and it is unable to read these tables. Several projects have been put on hold because of that."

"We have connectivity and integration with pretty much every single tech stack across the table that we have in the world, and there are a few areas that they don't do that well yet. I'd be looking for some improvement there, in terms of their integration with certain products."

"The deployment could be made a little bit easier."

"The only challenge that we have faced with BotFarm is that there is no continuous deployment. The whole world is moving to the DevOps model, but BotFarm is still not on the DevOps model. It should have integration with the DevOps model. The migration of the bots or bots pipeline is currently purely manual."

"BotFarm newer version has been difficult to install, we have been in contact with the support on this matter."

"The licensing schemes could be more competitive. They need to be much more flexible in their pricing."

"The solution doesn't have support like they used to. They need support. We have personnel of our own, but sometimes we need assistance beyond our own team."

"There should be more support for developing in environments such as Citrix and Linux."

More BotFarm cons

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

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

"The solution needs to improve its stability."

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

"Its price could definitely be lower."

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

"It's not applicable to very large enterprises and for difficult work or more complex processes."

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

More ElectroNeek cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

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

"I like the way this solution is priced because you can buy a license, or you can buy the software outright."

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

More Automate pricing and cost advice

"There is a license for this solution and it is on an annual basis. I am satisfied with the price."

"The pricing is fair."

"We pay approximately $15,000 USD per year."

"The licensing is on a monthly basis."

"The license of this solution is on an annual basis. The price is fair. However, what we did initially was a POC, but now we are looking at moving from a POC to expanding it out further. I would appreciate some kind of discount."

"Pricing for this solution can be better."

"Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than Blue Prism and UiPath in terms of cost."

"The solution prices are expensive. It would be more beneficial for customers to lower the pricing."

More BotFarm pricing and cost advice

"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."

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

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a seven."

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

"My company has made a payment towards the purchase of a license from ElectorNeek."

Reviews from Real Users

Akshay P., Associate Systems Analyst at NSEiT Limited, relates, “It is very easy, simple. You're working on a notepad, and you don't need to know programming to work on this. The dashboards are quite good, especially on the latest versions.”

A Digital Strategy Manager at an energy/utilities company shares, “The scalability is the solution's most valuable aspect. The reason Bot Farm is used is to have only one license available whenever you have a spike in the transactions. That is a core feature. That is something which we are using to the maximum. It's working well due to the fact that the solution use case is quite structured.”

A Senior RPA Developer at a tech services company tells us, “The solution is great to automate any repetitive tasks, which you might do on a daily basis. For example, the organization may need to be generating invoices or extracting data from PDF files daily. It is very versatile in what you can automate. This has improved my organization by cutting down on repetitive tasks that now can be automated.”
