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.
Renjith Raghunathan - PeerSpot reviewer
A solution that requires minimal efforts to run multiple activities at the same time
It would be helpful to add more documentation. Currently, there are not many documents available on Google that explain each activity and how to use it or how to use the parameters and pass values. This is an area that could be improved. If I were to add something that would make my life easier in a new release of INTELLIBOT, then it would be making improvements to the way it is interacting with Java. The only challenge with using INTELLIBOT is the way it works with OCR, which can make creating OCR icons very challenging. In addition, there may be challenges in using the Citrix environment.
Amjed Al-Tayyan - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"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."
"The pricing is excellent. I would give them perfect marks in that regard."
"I find the ease of use from a programming perspective very valuable."
"Fortra's Automate performs the job effectively and has the capability to alert us of any issues."
"It gives us a central place to schedule tasks and run them distributed."
"The product effectively handles all the tasks we require."
"We have found the pricing to be very reasonable."
"The ability to connect to websites and pull data is the solution's most valuable feature."
"For machine learning, there is an in-built document and text classification feature in INTELLIBOT. That is unlike other RPA tools where one needs to procure a separate license. Besides this, the application is easy to use. One valuable feature is the drag-and-drop feature for AI and email intelligence. It is easier than using UiPath's IQ bot."
"This solution is easy to use and requires little coding knowledge."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the straightforward visual editor, it has close to no code required. It allowed us to deploy the email monitoring in this couple of weeks."
"The return on investment is pretty good because the license cost is cheaper than other RPA tools in the market."
"There's a helpful community available through the portal."
"It is a stable product. We have been using it for 15 months now, and there have been no issues."
"The replay of the automation is an awesome feature."
"The collection center functionality seems promising."
"Building automations using UiPath is much easier than using Power Automate or any other tools because I have most of my experience with UiPath, and they have tried to fine-tune the automation experience over time."
"UiPath is a low-code solution that allows us to build automations fairly quickly and see the results promptly."
"We seen have operational cost reductions. We have improved our efficiency and capabilities."
"The solution is quick and easy to implement. It's fairly easy, and it means clients don't have to get IT involved."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use and the UI. It's much better compared to all the competitor applications out there. I've literally used all the applications that are in the market, and UiPath has been, by far, the best. Another prime factor is that scales up horizontally and is on the cloud, on AWS cloud. That's where we host our processes and our services. That connectivity feature, the availability, is a primary winning element."
"The product as a whole is a valuable contributor to efficiency improvement."
"The support that we are receiving from UiPath is superb."
 

Cons

"I would prefer not having to log in to update a ticket; being able to respond via email would be beneficial."
"I would like the updates to be easier to deploy. Integration with Amazon S3 is somewhat lacking."
"The product also has a limited use case in some respects."
"The solution has a very weak knowledge base."
"They do not encrypt passwords, so this is an issue with HIPAA compliance."
"I would like the updates to be easier to deploy. Integration with Amazon S3 is somewhat lacking."
"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."
"Some companies have asked for voice integration. This is likely part of the roadmap."
"The solution is heavily dependant on scripts, such as JavaScript or any other external script that needs to be a part of the system. If they want to grow, the scripting dependency should go away. They should have built-in libraries to pull in work from."
"The trigger actions need to be more robust."
"A couple of times, we noticed that some bugs caused the bot to go in the wrong flow."
"I would like to see the cognitive marketing platform improved."
"Has limited functionality and uses extensive resources."
"Currently, there are not many documents available on Google that explain each activity and how to use it or how to use the parameters and pass values."
"The first pain point of INTELLIBOT was with the development. Whenever the company developed any command, they published it directly onto their SQL site, and our current automation got auto-updated. The second pain point was with the action set. It could be stronger. Moreover, if I am doing UiPath automation, I have to do it with the Internal Report for now."
"The speed of upgrades is really hard to follow."
"I would like UiPath to be more intuitive, so people like me could use it."
"One thing that I would really like to see is some migration processes between environments."
"The licensing policies and concepts change almost yearly, leading to difficult negotiations. All components are licensed differently, and it would be more straightforward to adopt new features if they were included in the same bundle."
"In terms of performance, sometimes it slows down when the internet connectivity is poor. They need to optimize it a little."
"It would be very helpful for us if they provided more business use cases and helped us to learn them."
"UiPath's OCR features could be improved. It's to do complex OCR captures with UiPath. I would also like improvements in the dashboard for executing processes."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From a distributor's perspective, one of the biggest selling points of Automate is its price point."
"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."
"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."
"The cost is a bit high for a small business like ours, but we manage with Fortra's Automate."
"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."
"I'm only involved in running the product and maintaining the systems, so I can't speak to the cost."
"INTELLIBOT with the DPA costs approximately $1,500 USD."
"At the time, one license was $5,000 USD. If we needed to negotiate for more licenses, we could negotiate a bit on the price."
"It is quite cheap. In the year 2019, it was $1000 for a year."
"The solution requires a license and we purchased one annually. We were satisfied with the price."
"The price and setup costs need to be supported by a strong business case."
"The product is not the cheapest."
"The pricing is quite reasonable."
"If UiPath really wants to put Attended Robots out to everyone, there will be a cost issue. We have some that we are testing now and what their effect will be. However, these are the robots where the license model needs to change before we go full throttle in that direction."
"It is very costly to implement RPA. However, I think the benefits outweigh the costs over a long-term period."
"There are operational benefits in terms of time savings and user satisfaction of not having to do menial, repetitive tasks."
"The licensing system is something that needs to be improved."
"The setup cost is minimal as far as other options are considered."
