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.

Reduces the cost of digital transformation and helps our client reduce their on-premises footprint

Building automation using UiPath is easy and in most cases can be done with a single click. There is no need to write coding. We can insert and delete columns or remove duplicate frames easily. We have already implemented a couple of solutions, one of which is a maintenance automation database. The users of the database want to send emails with attached files and other artifacts, and previously this was done manually. Each day, up to 300-500 items were manually processed by 50-60 people who would navigate to a separate application, search for the file, upload it, and send the email. This was a tedious task and accuracy and reliability were questionable, requiring manual verification. This process was repeated monthly for around 10,000-12,000 items, taking around 25-30 days to complete. We automated this process and provided a high-level solution initially, which was later built, bought, and deployed. The bot we created is capable of processing 900-950 items per day, meaning that all 10,000 items can be processed within eight to ten days. This reduces the processing time by one-third and the cost from 100 to around 12 months, as we only need three to four rotational shifts to monitor the bot. Sometimes the bot may disconnect or encounter issues beyond our control, but we address these promptly to reinstate the process. This is the work we are doing in our organization. End-to-end automation is a crucial aspect of completing tasks within the specified time frame. Clients do not want to wait for extended periods, such as a month or two, and prefer to see progress at least one-third or one-fourth of the way through. This ensures that clients are not preoccupied with a single task and can focus on improving their business while also increasing accuracy. UiPath aims to provide clients with a high return on investment from both the software build and business development perspectives. This is achieved by delivering effective solutions that meet clients' needs. We are satisfied with UiPath's community. Occasionally, we encounter some queries or doubts, such as whether we should use a particular feature or MAC code, or whether we can use a certain file. While we cannot always rely on direct support for such minor issues, we found that the UiPath community can be a helpful resource. We search for similar issues that other users may have faced and posted about, and we often find solutions to our questions in a timely manner. Overall, we find the UiPath community to be effective and useful. UiPath has helped our client reduce their on-premises footprint. This decision is purely based on the client's interests and has nothing to do with our personal or company interests. Generally, clients prefer cloud integration as they want their systems to be up and running 99.9 percent of the time. However, sometimes they may opt for on-premises solutions based on the CDRT of a particular application, which refers to the sensitivity of the data involved. We have some limited automation that deals with sensitive information, such as credit-related automation, which the client cannot access. In such cases, clients may prefer an on-premises solution, but overall, cloud integration is becoming more important. With the implementation of AI, we can utilize UiPath for automation, which is more dependable. UiPath reduces the cost of digital transformation. Our clients are highly satisfied with the nearly 99 percent reduction in human error achieved through the use of UiPath. This includes both individual and team errors. However, during the development phase, some human input was necessary to create rules for the bot to follow. Any potential issues were identified and resolved during testing by our IT and testing teams. Overall, our clients are pleased with the system's reliability and performance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"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."

"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."

"We use it for specific cases, mainly secure file transfers, which are vital for us. And it works for us."

"The pricing is excellent. I would give them perfect marks in that regard."

"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."

More Fortra's Automate pros

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

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

"The product's setup is straightforward."

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

"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 most valuable feature is the price."

"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."

More ElectroNeek pros

"I have used the UiPath Academy courses. I'm a certified developer. I didn't know UiPath at all. I went through the Academy and trained myself. When I brought in new developers, I had them do modules and I sometimes go visit them. From the user's perspective, people are happy that they don't have to do certain tasks that they didn't like to do. I only have one of those bots where I have a group of people that prefer the way they've always been doing tasks, but that's more of an organizational thing. I'm seeing across the enterprise with other folks that they're very happy to have this. They are putting more use cases in, and the frontline workers are bringing in use cases. Of course, we need to vet a lot of those so that we get enough bang for the buck, but we're finding a lot of adoption across, up, and down the whole scale so far."

"Attended and unattended automation, which support web and email automation, are the most valuable features for us."

"It gives you a technology or ability to build a solution on any legacy system."

"My favorite aspect of UiPath is its user-friendly interface, as it's a no-code, low-code platform that eliminates the need for extensive coding."

"It has a simple user interface."

"Basic knowledge of .NET is sufficient to develop a workflow."

"The automation of repetitive tasks that eliminate human error is a valuable feature."

"It is easy to use and understand. You can learn it by yourself."

More UiPath pros

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."

"The interface could be more user-friendly and easier to navigate."

"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 product also has a limited use case in some respects."

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

"The technical support could be better. We suffer from language barriers, as we are in Argentina."

"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."

"I would like to see some better web automation, a wizard like the one in the product WinAutomation would be very nice."

More Fortra's Automate cons

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

"The solution needs to improve its stability."

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

"Its price could definitely be lower."

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

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

More ElectroNeek cons

"The on-prem orchestrator was an issue for us."

"We have the new license, the Flex Plan with Automation Suite, but we don't have practical examples and we have found it a little bit difficult when dealing with it. We could use more specifications about it and practical examples."

"The error handling is in need of improvement. We'd had a problem tracking when errors occur, and troubleshooting how things are captured in production."

"One of the problems with UiPath is that it doesn't interact with some programs, such as AD and Chrome, and it would be great to have even more included!"

"It was more difficult to use than we originally thought it was going to be. It's not as simple as drag and drop."

"I would like UiPath to give free trial licenses for more features, like AI Center. UiPath currently offers two licenses for the trial version. However, if I need to practice in AI Center, then I need four to six licenses."

"It would be helpful if UiPath could provide developers to help us with the on-premises setup. Without that, we have to figure out how we do the setup."

"UiPath needs to improve its documentation. AI Fabric's installation was an absolute nightmare. I tried to get help from the documentation portal and couldn't find what I was looking for."

More UiPath cons

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."

"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."

"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 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."

"I like the way this solution is priced because you can buy a license, or you can buy the software outright."

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

More Fortra's 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."

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

"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."

"It's very affordable and the licensing is billed on a yearly basis."

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

"UiPath is slightly more expensive than Automation Anywhere and Microsoft Power Automate."

"The price is a bit high, but UiPath is worth the cost, given its ease of use and features."

"I am using the free community version. The enterprise version is obviously a little expensive."

"Our licensing costs are around $40,000 a year."

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

"The product is very affordable, not costly at all."

"The main reason we went ahead with UiPath was the pricing... the pricing of the paid version was not that high. It's low- to mid-level pricing."

"It is quite an expensive solution."
