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.

User-friendly, good UI, but does not work well with Microsoft Edge
We use the solution to automate processes such as the pay slips within the consol portal The solution is user-friendly with a really good UI and ID. The support is good. ElectroNeek has video recordings that enable us to easily automate tasks, and it includes a wide variety of activities. The…

Offers integration of the document extraction service into SAP ALC, enabling the direct upload and extraction of details
I found that SAP Intelligent RPA can be somewhat unstable when using SAP GUI. When we upgraded from SAP GUI version 7.50 to version 7.70, we had to update our SAP Intelligent RPA screens even though the screens were the same. This was difficult and time-consuming. The one I would like to see is in context with the screens, if they are using the same SAP UI, and if it updates, it should not be changed. At least it should be able to identify the screen. There should be more of an error, like a proper error feature, in future releases. Sometimes, we don't understand why that automation is not learning what, like, where it is stuck, what the reason is, or what the criteria we are missing to add. A proper error message would be helpful.

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 feature is the drag-and-drop interface, which is very Windows-like."
"I find the ease of use from a programming perspective very valuable."
"The most valuable features of Fortra's Automate include its FTP functionality and file manipulation capabilities."
"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."
"Compared to other vendors, it's the scheduling tool because a lot of vendors want to charge you extra for their enterprise-level license to have a scheduling tool built in to give you the ability to set up regular schedules to run and do certain data checks."
"The product effectively handles all the tasks we require."
"Fortra's Automate has effectively replaced the workload of an entire employee, saving us significant time and money."
"Overall, the whole product is really nice and provides significant benefits."
"The most valuable feature is the price."
"The cost is the best thing about ElectroNeek."
"We find the OCR feature very valuable, due to the corrector recognition that it provides; this is very useful for document processing."
"ElectroNeek was extremely easy to use, especially its UI was easy to navigate with limited training."
"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."
"The solution is user-friendly with a really good UI and ID."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"Scalability is fine. It is pretty nice."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Contextor is that everyone is in one place in the program that I need."
"Most of the details are already in the help portal and SAP notes are available. It is well documented as part of the product support."
"It is remarkably easy to configure and code, and it doesn't require an extensive technical background or coding expertise."
"The standout features of SAP Intelligent RPA are its flexibility and integration capabilities."
"Contextor is a good solution for a Citrix environment. It's the first with this tool. Other tools provide the same functionality, but not with the Citrix environment."
"The initial setup of SAP Contextor is easy."
 

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."
"There is a lack of good development for artificial intelligence, such as machine learning."
"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 solution has a very weak knowledge base."
"The documentation for errors needs improvement as many of the error messages we receive are very vague."
"The technical support could be better. We suffer from language barriers, as we are in Argentina."
"They do not encrypt passwords, so this is an issue with HIPAA compliance."
"Some companies have asked for voice integration. This is likely part of the roadmap."
"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."
"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."
"Its price could definitely be lower."
"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."
"The integrating capability of the product needs to be improved, to ensure that it works with all systems involved in a process."
"There should be more of an error, like a proper error feature, in future releases. Sometimes, we don't understand why that automation is not learning what, like, where it is stuck, or what is the reason like, or what is the criteria we are missing to add. So a proper error message would be helpful."
"For potential features or improvements, one aspect I would suggest enhancing is the flexibility of the extraction process."
"SAP Contextor could improve by automating some processes."
"The initial setup is of medium complexity. It is neither too hard nor too simple. You need some background in SAP and an understanding of it."
"One way SAP Intelligent RPA could improve is by integrating built-in DI services for document processing."
"I would like to see a better capacity for unstructured data, for example, PDF, or text within images."
"I found that the SAP scripting of a program is easier than SAP Contextor."
"The tool's licensing has been kind of a challenge...At the moment, the tool does not offer different licensing models to users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"Once you buy the software, you just pay for the support for backend help."
"Compared to other products, the pricing model for this solution is much more convenient, flexible, and adaptable to the Portuguese reality."
"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."
"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."
"My company has made a payment towards the purchase of a license from ElectorNeek."
"I give the price an eight out of ten."
"I believe we had a Silver Membership or something similar annually."
"It's very affordable and the licensing is billed on a yearly basis."
"Its price could definitely be lower. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. There is no additional cost to the standard licensing fees."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a seven."
"This is not a tool or software with a license as others are. The SaaS model is based on the usage of the tool."
"It all comes with a bundle right now. Having advanced features, it is competitively priced."
"The initial cost might seem higher, but over time, with continued use over five or ten years, the cost tends to decrease, making it a more economical choice."
"The pricing is not that expensive. It is manageable."
