Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 4, 2024

Pega Robotic Process Automation and ElectroNeek compete in the robotic process automation market. ElectroNeek appears to have the upper hand due to its cost-effective scaling solutions.

Features: Pega Robotic Process Automation offers comprehensive automation capabilities, robust case management, and powerful integration features. Its development environment allows quick adapter creation and .NET framework integration, making it suitable for complex workflows. ElectroNeek provides cost-efficient solutions with unlimited bot usage without additional licenses, which benefits scalability. Both platforms have low-code/no-code development environments, but Pega's CRM intelligence and advanced debugging differentiate it from ElectroNeek's affordability and ease of use.

Room for Improvement: Pega needs to enhance its OCR capabilities, simplify its setup process, and improve regional cloud presence and UI development. Significant training is required for its complex platform and monitoring tools. ElectroNeek should increase compatibility with certain browsers, improve remote desktop interactions, and expand its activity set to match competitors like UiPath for better flexibility.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Pega offers various deployment options such as public and hybrid clouds, but faces complex initial setups. Its technical support is responsive but can struggle with resolution speed for complex issues. ElectroNeek provides on-premises and private cloud deployment with a simpler setup process. Its customer support is efficient, although technical assistance reliability varies with issue complexity. Community and support teams offer satisfactory deployment guidance.

Pricing and ROI: Pega targets larger enterprises with higher licensing costs and a pay-as-you-go model based on automation processes, predominantly US-centric in pricing. ElectroNeek presents a more affordable alternative with annual billing and memberships, providing a cost-effective solution and good ROI potential for small and medium enterprises, despite hefty initial setup fees for resellers.

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.

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.

VISHNU VARDHAN CHENNURU

Application Development Team Lead at Accenture

Great for UI creation, helpful support services, and reliable

Excel connectors need to be improved as there are a few connectors in Excel areas. The recording is not at best in Pega Robotics. They could look into it. The interactions with some applications, like Windows and web applications, are a little slow. They need to improve their speed. It should be normal, to open it with other tools. However, right now, it's a little hard. Users should feel they can develop easily. It will sometimes hang while interacting with third-party applications. Instead of adapters, if we had direct interaction of the applications with API and had scripts, that would be better. We have only CSharp supported right now. We'd like to have Python supported. If it was, it would be easier for us and make the solution more flexible. Currently, we are adding three different configuration files, however, if I had the option, I'd prefer to make a single configuration file and then differentiate it in all three environments. It can be difficult to create logic in automation. It's hard than if we used other RPA tools. If they could add more toolbox options, that would be ideal. They need to do what they can to help us reduce complexity in the automation and combine things under, for example, a single control.

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."

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

"Fortra's Automate has effectively replaced the workload of an entire employee, saving us significant time and money."

"The ability to connect to websites and pull data is the solution's most valuable feature."

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

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

"We are still in the process of rolling it to production and tweaking it (our AD groups are a mess), but the improvements are priceless. Having users ID's created the same way every time without human error is the best part. We don't need to worry about why groups were not added, user rights not set to folders or missing a private folder being created, typos or just even knowing when things are done and logged."

"The licensing of the product is very good. You only need to license it once and then you have it forever."

More Automate pros

"My favorite feature is that you can have unlimited bots without having to buy more licenses. That's a powerful option for scalability."

"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."

"We find the OCR feature very valuable, due to the corrector recognition that it provides; this is very useful for document processing."

"The solution is user-friendly with a really good UI and ID."

"The most valuable feature is the price."

"The cost is the best thing about ElectroNeek."

"The product's setup is straightforward."

"ElectroNeek was extremely easy to use, especially its UI was easy to navigate with limited training."

More ElectroNeek pros

"The most valuable aspect for myself was access to the .net framework. If I couldn't figure something out using the objects that they had provided, I could bring in the .net objects and do so using similar logic that I would in a .net or C sharp coding language. Having that familiarity was helpful."

"The low-code/no-code development aspect of the solution is great."

"It helped cut short the release cycle by almost 40% compared to the previous solution."

"Pega Robotic Process Automation's most valuable feature is that it is robust. Additionally, they have plenty of online documents that are good and Pega Academy is helpful, they are doing a great job. They give training on practical use cases. They take domain use cases, and they are great."

"If you want to make any kind of base automation, you can easily code exactly what you want."

"It is a good and matured solution."

"The solution's ability to create adapters quickly is its most valuable feature."

"It is a scalable solution."

Cons

"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."

"I would like to see some better web automation, a wizard like the one in the product WinAutomation would be very nice."

"They do not encrypt passwords, so this is an issue with HIPAA compliance."

"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."

"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 the updates to be easier to deploy. Integration with Amazon S3 is somewhat lacking."

"The vendor is currently working on a solution that allows us to automatically create a process that is based on a document that we receive via email."

"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."

More Automate cons

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

More ElectroNeek cons

"Pega Robotic Process Automation scalability is too low."

"They have tied the deployment with the Pega BPM product, the robot manager. You need to have the BPM installed."

"The ease-of-use could be improved."

"Pega has a no-code low-code environment. We do everything based on established rules. You kind-of have to learn how all their rules work and how it works for robotics before you can use the solution effectively."

"It is still a niche skill and resources are scarce in the market unless big IT companies are involved."

"You cannot use a two-dimensional array to read the data."

"I feel like it doesn't get updated frequently enough. There aren't a lot of new features or a clear roadmap for future improvements."

"I would like to improve the tool's integration features and stability."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"Once you buy the software, you just pay for the support for backend help."

"I'm only involved in running the product and maintaining the systems, so I can't speak to the cost."

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

"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."

More Automate pricing and cost advice

"Its price could definitely be lower. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. There is no additional cost to the standard licensing fees."

"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."

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

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

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

"I would rate the product's pricing a nine out of ten."

"Pega is as competitive as the basic players such as UiPath or Automation Anywhere. UiPath is the most expensive, but Pega is at par with Automation Anywhere."

"The licensing cost is too high."

"Pega is pretty costly."

"Pega Robotic Process Automation is an expensive solution."

"In terms of Pega Robotic Process Automation pricing, I would rate it a five out of five because the solution has a good price. Pricing is not very high, though I'm unsure of the exact cost, based on my experience, the price for Pega Robotic Process Automation is less than Blue Prism because I worked with a few clients that have both solutions and my clients prefer Pega Robotic Process Automation over Blue Prism particularly because of the licensing costs."

"I was not involved in licensing and pricing, but it is worth the cost."
