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

"The solution is continuously adding more integrations to help with workflows and bot and task creation."

"Fortra's Automate performs the job effectively and has the capability to alert us of any issues."

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

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

"The best feature of Automate is its ease of use, which is a major selling point."

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

"It gives us a central place to schedule tasks and run them distributed."

More Automate pros

Cons

"I currently have three bugs open with them that I don't know if they are addressed in the new release."

"I would prefer not having to log in to update a ticket; being able to respond via email would be beneficial."

"It's possible that they could use a stronger community for seeking guidance and help."

"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."

"The interface could be more user-friendly and easier to navigate."

"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."

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

"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."

More Automate cons

"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."

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

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

"Its price could definitely be lower."

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

"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."

More ElectroNeek cons

"There have been some scenarios where the bot was not able to replace some of the controls and could not recognize and personalize the task we wanted to automate."

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

"The development experience needs to be improved."

"It's difficult not knowing when alerts will arrive."

"In this modern world, in this automation space, if Pega could provide more options that are user-friendly and provide a way to quickly develop an automation solution that is drag-and-drop with a minimal coding approach, then it would be great for automation."

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

"The solution's configuration and settings could be more comprehensive."

"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."

More Pega Robotic Process Automation cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

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

"From a distributor's perspective, one of the biggest selling points of Automate is its price point."

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

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

"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."

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."

"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 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 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."

"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."

"Pega Robotic Process Automation is an expensive solution."

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