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

"A great feature that you seldom see in these kind of systems is the ability to use a database as trigger to launch a task. This is something I asked for a few years ago and that was added."

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

"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."

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

"The product effectively handles all the tasks we require."

"The interface is simple, user-friendly, and very intuitive."

"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."

More Automate pros

"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."

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

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

"The cost is the best thing about ElectroNeek."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."

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

"The most valuable feature is the price."

More ElectroNeek pros

"I'm not worried about the stability of the product. If others are using it in the cloud with much more complicated processes than we are automating, it's not really a concern of mine."

"Customer support is a bright spot and helps give users confidence in the solution."

"UiPath Studio has all kinds of tools and it's practical to navigate around the application. Implementing any project can be done very quickly using UiPath."

"The most valuable feature in Orchestrator is that it stores the credentials in a safe way."

"The product is good. It's highly scalable, and it's stable. Over the last one and a half years, based on whatever we have developed, we've found it to be pretty stable as compared to the other platforms, such as Automation Anywhere."

"The product as a whole is a valuable contributor to efficiency improvement."

"UiPath Orchestrator is very user-friendly and easy to understand."

"It helps mitigate the risks. With traditional native active directory delegation, it becomes real messy, real fast. You lose oversight on who has access where. We are an acquisition merger company, so we let go of certain companies and onboard new ones. With native delegations, you lose track on who has access where. With Active Roles, we can always see who has access and what they can do in a very granular way."

More UiPath pros

Cons

"The solution has a very weak knowledge base."

"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."

"We really need a free development environment for customers. Building and testing automation on production isn't ideal."

"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."

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

"Some companies have asked for voice integration. This is likely part of the roadmap."

"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."

More Automate cons

"Its price could definitely be lower."

"The solution needs to improve its stability."

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

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

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

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

"The integrating capability of the product needs to be improved, to ensure that it works with all systems involved in a process."

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

More ElectroNeek cons

"When the Orchestrator got upgraded and UiPath didn't get upgraded, we started getting errors regarding the managed packages; the packages were not getting upgraded."

"The user interface needs a little bit of improvement because it looks a little cheap due to being a very old tool. Otherwise, it works well."

"Currently, there's a time lag in training, which eventually impacts the customers. All stakeholders should receive updates simultaneously."

"The support team could be more responsive and helpful."

"One of the things we're struggling with it how to project how many robots we need to do these processes, so better documentation or assistance in this regard would be useful."

"The initial setup was not straightforward. With some of the technical infrastructure that we deployed in 2017, we were an early adopter, so there wasn't a lot of product experience. We made a lot of mistakes with it."

"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."

"Sometimes we get some disconnection issues. This happens maybe 10% of the time."

More UiPath cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

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."

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

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

"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."

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

"The price of the Enterprise version is high, and the licensing is very complex. For small businesses like ours, licensing is a very complex task and takes too much time."

"The licensing cost is very high."

"On a scale of one to ten, with ten being the highest, I would rate the price as an eight out of ten."

"The price and setup costs need to be supported by a strong business case."

"The cost of UiPath is much less than that of Blue Prism. They've been very flexible and willing to work with us with our new contractors we just signed on. It's worked out well."

"This solution is worth the investment."

"UiPath is expensive."

"They have been increasing the price. The explanation that they are providing is that they are adding more features. This works perfectly fine for customers who are looking for new intelligent automations, but there is another set of customers who are using UiPath for vanilla, plain automations. Offering them something that is not required and asking them to pay more puts a burden on them. That seems to be a problem for the customers. Many of them have mentioned this concern because it is increasing the prices of automation every year, which is not acceptable to all customers."
