Featured Reviews

Anabel Marco - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Sarath Gopinathan Nair - PeerSpot reviewer
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…

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

"It gives us a central place to schedule tasks and run them distributed."
"Fortra's Automate performs the job effectively and has the capability to alert us of any issues."
"We use it for specific cases, mainly secure file transfers, which are vital for us. And it works for us."
"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 pricing is excellent. I would give them perfect marks in that regard."
"I would rate the technical support as a nine out of ten because it is quite fast and courteous."
"We have found the pricing to be very reasonable."
"The product effectively handles all the tasks we require."
"The product's setup is straightforward."
"The solution is user-friendly with a really good UI and ID."
"My favorite feature is that you can have unlimited bots without having to buy more licenses. That's a powerful option for scalability."
"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."
"We find the OCR feature very valuable, due to the corrector recognition that it provides; this is very useful for document processing."
"The most valuable feature is the price."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"What I found most valuable in UiPath is that it's easier to set up than other tools. It also helps reduce human error and is a scalable solution."
"The UiPath community has grown and is active. It is definitely helpful to be a part of it because others can assist us."
"The scraping for data extraction is very important. There is also a connection with all Microsoft tools, like Outlook, Excel, Word, et cetera. And OCR, the Document Understanding feature, is important because we have clients that ask us to read data from scanned documents."
"The ease of use of Studio is valuable. In terms of features, Excel Application Scope, web automation suite of products, and screen scraping are the features I use the most."
"UiPath's most valuable feature is Insights, which provides invaluable data on time savings and AI model performance."
"The tool's most valuable feature is unattended robots."
"Since we are getting information out to folks faster, they can spend the resource time needed to determine the best approach for what to replace it with, or if we need to work with a sales rep. It ensures that our staff have the best tools to do their job faster."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ease of deployment."
 

Cons

"They do not encrypt passwords, so this is an issue with HIPAA compliance."
"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."
"There is room for improvement regarding cloud functionality; there are a few missing features, and the logging could be better, especially air logging. We can go into logging events and create our own task, but it would be nice if this were more detailed."
"The product also has a limited use case in some respects."
"The solution has a very weak knowledge base."
"The OCR for Hebrew text needs to be improved."
"Error messages should be better. For error status, there should be better documentation because a lot of times, error messages that you get are quite vague. For example, you get a message saying that the workflow has run into an unknown status, which is vague. It just tells you that it failed, but you don't know how or why it failed. It makes debugging difficult."
"The documentation is not that great."
"The integrating capability of the product needs to be improved, to ensure that it works with all systems involved in a process."
"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."
"ElectroNeek comes with three activities and we cannot add activities like we can with uiPADs."
"Its price could definitely be lower."
"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."
"The solution works well with Google Chrome, but not with Microsoft Edge, which is the browser we use for automation."
"I would like to see improved support and cost management for advanced certification."
"I have trouble understanding the machine learning and AI components, so I would like it to be easier to understand how and what to do with them."
"The data extraction has room for improvement."
"When we deploy code into Orchestrator, sometimes there are macro activities that worked in Studio but do not work correctly in production."
"UiPath's performance could be improved. UiPath's framework was built on top of .NET Core. It was a 32-bit platform initially, but they recently introduced a 64-bit version. Let's say I have a huge machine with 64 gigs of RAM. If I have a server machine and want to use multi-threading to extend my automation and multitask, the design won't allow me. I can't separate things into multiple processes."
"The reporting part of Orchestrator could be improved. For example, UiPath could automatically email us if there are errors. Adding this feature would help us."
"One of my biggest frustrations with UiPath is that they're constantly changing the underlying technology and adding features, so you're not always in a stable state. You're looking at the next shiny thing, and that distracts us from our initiative. Because we work with the government, we must go through the security assessment process each time they change something. We have to pay the costs associated with reviewing their infrastructure."
"UiPath support's technical expertise is impressive, but the response time isn't ideal. When you raise a ticket on the UiPath portal, customer support can sometimes take up to 24 hours to respond."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm only involved in running the product and maintaining the systems, so I can't speak to the cost."
"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."
"I like the way this solution is priced because you can buy a license, or you can buy the software outright."
"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."
"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'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 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."
"My company has made a payment towards the purchase of a license from ElectorNeek."
"I give the price an eight out of ten."
"I find the pricing to be reasonable, especially when compared to other offerings in the same market."
"When there's a massive deployment of robots, pricing for UiPath becomes costly, as you must purchase different licenses for UiPath Studio, Orchestrator, etc."
"Unattended bots are more valuable than attended bots."
"I am using the Community version in my office and personally."
"UiPath attended bots are quite cheap compared to Automation Anywhere. If you bring in UiPath's unattended bots, that's expensive."
"It is not a cheap solution. There is an annual licensing cost for all the components."
"Previously, we were not using automation operations. I believe we have now reduced costs significantly, which justifies the cost we are paying for the service."
"It is the most user-friendly RPA platform, but it is also the most expensive RPA platform."
