Anabel Marco

Account Director at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

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

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.

Amjed Al-Tayyan

Governance Director at Diyar United Company

Automation streamlines onboarding and reduces the load on customer service agents

As the head of the division, I do not use UiPath myself. However, I am the decision-maker, so I review the features. The combination of both full-attended and half-attended automation, where you can automate tasks and still interact when required, is very useful. It provides efficiency by freeing staff from unnecessary tasks, resulting in a balanced workload and more productive use of an employee's time. The tool has a noticeable ROI, and the investment is worth every penny as it reduces tedious tasks and improves scalability. It is very easy to use. During the COVID lockdown, my son who was 11 at the time attended a UiPath and Automation Anywhere training with me. He has already automated his school tasks requiring saving data and uploading some documents to the portal. If a kid can do this, it shows how easy it is.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

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

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

"I like the interface; it makes managing automation easy. We can set different schedules and templates for each task."

"I actually quite liked the no-coding functionality."

"We have found the pricing to be very reasonable."

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

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

"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."

More Automate pros

"The product's setup is straightforward."

"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."

"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 most valuable feature is the price."

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

More ElectroNeek pros

"The most valuable feature of UiPath is the speed of the implementation."

"The AI is also far more advanced than other similar tools, and it is free, which makes it a better product."

"It's incredibly user-friendly, making it accessible even to non-developers."

"UiPath has a simple, creative UI, where you can check on all the automated tools. Everything is well documented, and you can easily get support from the UiPath team. Whenever we were stuck, their team was always there to support us. The community is huge and powerful."

"When we would have a huge backlog, we would hire short-term employees for some of our cases. Now, we don't have to do that anymore."

"The automation and speed of the platform are the most valuable features of UiPath."

"UiPath is efficient and fast. There are multiple RPA solutions, but UiPath is very user-friendly. It is very easy and fast to learn."

"StudioX allows me to build simple automation projects without the need to engage our development team."

More UiPath Platform pros

Cons

"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."

"It would be an improvement if Automate had better stability tools, whether by recommending a certain amount of memory because it can be a memory hog at times."

"I find that most important features are strong, however, there is a lack of good development for artificial intelligence, such as machine learning."

"The solution has a very weak knowledge base."

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

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

"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."

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

More Automate cons

"The solution needs to improve its stability."

"The solution works well with Google Chrome, but not with Microsoft Edge, which is the browser we use for automation."

"I think that this solution could improve remote desktop interactions."

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

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

"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."

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

More ElectroNeek cons

"It's really hard for me to get all the machine learning and AI parts. I think maybe that's going to get a little bit easier for me to understand how to really use it in the company. I don't really know what to do with it at the moment. I think that is something that could be improved."

"While the UiPath Academy is simple and you get a decent understanding of what's there, you still have to dedicate on an awful lot of time doing the automations to become proficient at them."

"I would like to have the ability to make changes at different stages of the development process without having to start from the beginning each time."

"AI and ML need further improvements to reach mature status."

"I think the only issue we have faced is with the upgrade compatibility."

"The OCR functionality for this solution could be improved. It should have a better capability to read unstructured documents. The next generation of OCR is ICR and UiPath does not have this. This would enable us to read and search through documents."

"Better support for databases should be included. For example, interacting with SQL Server and SQL Developer would be beneficial features."

"Currently, we have to additionally implement UiPath Fabric. It would be easier if it is already integrated with UiPath rather than having to add it. We have to take the dependencies by searching them. We should be able to go for the default ones."

More UiPath Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

More Automate pricing and cost advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a seven."

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

"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."

"I give the price an eight out of ten."

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

"I'd advise others to consider sharing the costs after ensuring they understand their expectations for utilizing the capacity of the robots."

"UiPath is on the higher side compared to Microsoft Power Automate and Automation Anywhere."

"The best thing is that the UiPath Software is available as a Community Edition that is free and sufficient for personal use or small business."

"Go download it, install it, and play with it. You can't do this with any of the other platforms."

"UiPath has more costly licenses than Automation Anywhere and, of course, Power Automate."

"When I started with UiPath, there was a desktop model, and we did not have to purchase Orchestrator. Now, there is a bundle or package of Orchestrator with attended or unattended robots, so the cost is a little bit on the higher end. They are selling the Orchestrator model or the admin model. If someone wants to purchase the standalone or desktop model, they cannot do that, so the cost is on the higher side, but if we purchase more licenses, it gets reduced. If we purchase fewer licenses, it will be high."

"Pricing is quite reasonable with UiPath and there are some tools which are free to use."

"In comparison to Power Automate, UiPath's price is a little bit high. The Community edition of UiPath Studio is free. If you want to learn something or develop a process, you can install the Community edition of UiPath Studio."
