Featured Reviews

Anabel Marco - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
IS
Offers good UI but needs to improve its integration capabilities
Speaking about how the tool is useful in automating repetitive tasks in our company, I would say that my company started to collect data with the help of Datamatics while also using its GPS tracking features. The tool's UI is much better than the ones offered by other similar products in the market. I recommend the product to others who plan to use it. I suggest that others use their own method of interrogation since it will help them achieve more growth in their organizations through the use of the tool. I rate the tool a seven and a half out of ten.
Ishmael Munyai - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"I find it very user-friendly. Our IT department and other departments can seamlessly collaborate without requiring extensive training. As a business department, we particularly value this aspect, as our team doesn't consist of many IT users. However, we couldn't solely rely on a drag-and-drop approach to implement and utilize the solution within our departments."
"The ability to connect to websites and pull data is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of Fortra's Automate include its FTP functionality and file manipulation capabilities."
"I find the ease of use from a programming perspective very valuable."
"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."
"The interface is simple, user-friendly, and very intuitive."
"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."
"The solution is inexpensive compared to many other solutions in the market."
"The product's initial setup phase is straightforward and easy to use."
"Ability to calculate the ROI on the jobs that are running."
"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 cost is the best thing about ElectroNeek."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The most valuable feature is the price."
"The solution is user-friendly with a really good UI and ID."
"My favorite feature is that you can have unlimited bots without having to buy more licenses. That's a powerful option for scalability."
"The product's setup is straightforward."
"We find the OCR feature very valuable, due to the corrector recognition that it provides; this is very useful for document processing."
 

Cons

"I find that most important features are strong, however, there is a lack of good development for artificial intelligence, such as machine learning."
"I would prefer not having to log in to update a ticket; being able to respond via email would be beneficial."
"Fortra's Automate is not as reliable as I would like it to be."
"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."
"I would like to see some better web automation, a wizard like the one in the product WinAutomation would be very nice."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and easier to navigate."
"The solution has a very weak knowledge base."
"There is room for improvement regarding cloud functionality; there are a few missing features, and the logging could be better, especially air logging. We can go into logging events and create our own task, but it would be nice if this were more detailed."
"The stability of the product has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"There is a learning curve, and some training could be included to bring users up to speed."
"Would like to see more additions to the library."
"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."
"The integrating capability of the product needs to be improved, to ensure that it works with all systems involved in a process."
"It's not applicable to very large enterprises and for difficult work or more complex processes."
"Its price could definitely be lower."
"I think that this solution could improve remote desktop interactions."
"ElectroNeek comes with three activities and we cannot add activities like we can with uiPADs."
"The pricing is an area with a shortcoming, and from an improvement perspective, it needs to be made cheaper."
"The solution works well with Google Chrome, but not with Microsoft Edge, which is the browser we use for automation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It comes with a package that costs approximately $20,000 USD per year."
"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 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."
"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."
"The cost is a bit high for a small business like ours, but we manage with Fortra's Automate."
"I like the way this solution is priced because you can buy a license, or you can buy the software outright."
"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."
"The tool is expensive."
"Its price could definitely be lower. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. There is no additional cost to the standard licensing fees."
"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."
"I give the price an eight out of ten."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a seven."
"It's very affordable and the licensing is billed on a yearly basis."
