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.
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.
Mohammed Zaman - PeerSpot reviewer
It's easy to create Python libraries and custom scripts for a particular client and general use cases
We've had conversations with the head of Robocorp over Slack about things we want to improve. We want to introduce some packages, but the authentication tokens and many other things are not there. We can do it in Python, but the custom packages are unavailable. We would also like an integrated PDF reader and better integration with custom solutions. The built-in Excel customization is limited, but we can still accomplish what we want using Python. We must rely on Python to customize processes in Robocorp. I don't know about the latest IDE from Robocorp, but the old one doesn't have a lot of activities. I don't know if they have updated the UI in the latest version, but they could improve that. The UI selector isn't that great. It would be nice to take elements from the console and customize parts. Everything is based on command lines, which I do not like. A flow chart with block items would be good for optimizing code. I would also like more support tools for developers so it's easier to understand when passing code to others.

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."
"This tool has machine learning and voice recognition and computer vision, which are both quite useful aspects. These aren't available in other tools. It's a good addition to this tool and it gives the solution an edge on the market."
"We use it for specific cases, mainly secure file transfers, which are vital for us. And it works for us."
"The most valuable features of Fortra's Automate include its FTP functionality and file manipulation capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the drag-and-drop interface, which is very Windows-like."
"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."
"Fortra's Automate performs the job effectively and has the capability to alert us of any issues."
"Fortra's Automate has effectively replaced the workload of an entire employee, saving us significant time and money."
"The solution is user-friendly with a really good UI and ID."
"ElectroNeek was extremely easy to use, especially its UI was easy to navigate with limited training."
"My favorite feature is that you can have unlimited bots without having to buy more licenses. That's a powerful option for scalability."
"The most valuable feature is the price."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The cost is the best thing about ElectroNeek."
"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 product's setup is straightforward."
"It supports Python runtime because of that, runtime also improves."
"The price is good."
"The process execution and all features are very good."
"I can use it as a library by importing Python scripts, allowing me to access its many features while working with coding."
"As a developer, I found it easy to integrate third-party applications with Robocorp. I have previous experience with Selenium, and I found the Robocorp framework to be accessible because it uses Python and Selenium keywords."
"It offers high scalability and enables automation in ways that haven't been possible before."
"The solution is based on Python which makes it very valuable."
"Robocorp is based on Python, so you can use Python scripts and create libraries for your use cases. Building libraries and custom scripts for a particular client and general use cases is easy. We can reuse those scripts for other clients, so we start seeing benefits quickly."
 

Cons

"I believe we need to test various OCR tools that assist in evaluating, let's say, six different customer resyncs. We analyze their spending patterns and documentations, but current OCR support has limitations, requiring highly standardized documents, which isn't always the case. With a more advanced OCR system, we could improve processes related to credit risk management and legal matters. We're exploring how to integrate Fortra's Automate with our CRM platform, taking cues from instances where Salesforce seamlessly merged with Automate. However, we use a different CRM, Insight for New Enterprise, and we're seeking ways to connect the automation process within our CRM. We aim for the automation to continue smoothly, even in instances where traditional automation methods might face hurdles."
"I would like the updates to be easier to deploy. Integration with Amazon S3 is somewhat lacking."
"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."
"It's possible that they could use a stronger community for seeking guidance and help."
"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."
"The documentation is not that great."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I think that this solution could improve remote desktop interactions."
"The solution needs to improve its stability."
"The integrating capability of the product needs to be improved, to ensure that it works with all systems involved in a process."
"An additional feature I'm looking for in Robocorp is SAP automation."
"We use the latest version of the process studio and it takes up a lot of CPU storage. In our case, this has been up to 14 GB of storage."
"I don't like the complexity of deployment."
"The deployment process is complex and not straightforward, especially for legacy modernization."
"We would also like an integrated PDF reader and better integration with custom solutions. The built-in Excel customization is limited, but we can still accomplish what we want using Python. We must rely on Python to customize processes in Robocorp. I don't know about the latest IDE from Robocorp, but the old one doesn't have a lot of activities."
"The solution could be more stable."
"It would be better if it were more user-friendly for non-technical users. It would be better if they had some drag-and-drop features to create logic."
"I preferred the user interface in the older versions. When troubleshooting, it's sometimes hard to find details about where things went wrong. You need to search a little harder. It takes more clicks to get to where you want to go. It can be somewhat confusing. When you run a process that fails, it takes you somewhere you may not expect."
 

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."
"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 perspective, one of the biggest selling points of Automate is its price point."
"Compared to other products, the pricing model for this solution is much more convenient, flexible, and adaptable to the Portuguese reality."
"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."
"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."
"I'm only involved in running the product and maintaining the systems, so I can't speak to the cost."
"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."
"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."
"I believe we had a Silver Membership or something similar annually."
"It's a cost-effective solution."
"You don't have to pay for the license. You have to pay for the time you use it."
"The pricing is fine."
"The price is cheaper than other competitors. I would rate the cost as one out of five."
"The solution is a very affordable price."
"The product has good pricing."
"In terms of licenses, there is a return on investment in that area."
"Robocorp is much better in terms of pricing compared to UiPath."
