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.

Easy to use and clear documentation with notes explaining each step available

Areas, where I see some room for improvement would be the use of reading details from an Excel file. Most of the time, it's difficult when I say looping through a huge data set, and it's very difficult for the bot to interact with those data sets unless it starts offering the Excel file. As of today, from the reports I've worked with, I noticed that most reports are empty columns and two rows. So if Kryon can associate with that and extract those deposits into a variable, and the tools can easily fit out to column dash and two rows and columns, it will be nice. But as of today, the bot doesn't have the functionality to detect variables. We have to do it on the Excel file itself. I also noticed that when it comes to the use of bots, not everyone has the same knowledge, and it can be difficult to do certain research unless you have advanced knowledge of what you need to do. I also noticed that in the community, most people don't use it, and it's quite difficult when you need certain support.

Frees up employee time but can't run when computer system is locked

Something that could be improved is that this solution can't run when the computer is locked, which meant we had to implement it in our own on-prem server as it never auto-locks. It would be better if, when we have scheduled a scenario, it would log into the system automatically.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

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

"Web scraping is quite good since it offers a lot of possibilities."

"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."

"The solution is continuously adding more integrations to help with workflows and bot and task creation."

"The most valuable feature is the drag-and-drop interface, which is very Windows-like."

"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."

More Automate pros

"We use Kryon Studio to develop new wizards and we use the features to capture elements from the screen and automate processes... The screen capture allows us to interface with systems which don't have an API, or where the API is very expensive, and it allows us to do on-screen integration."

"The most valuable features for our organization are the automatic processes which save main power in the back office."

"The initial setup process is easy."

"What I like most about Kryon RPA is the user experience. I also find the layout and design of the solution better for programming compared to other RPA solutions."

"Troubleshooting and debugging could be improved. It's missing a proper debugger. It's very difficult, based on the log files and the fact that it doesn't have a proper debugger, to troubleshoot issues. It will sometimes end with no indication as to why it ended and it becomes a bit of trial and error."

"It has been helpful in reducing the manpower and error rate since we are able to run tasks 24/7 without interruptions. As humans definitely take breaks and there may be absenteeism that is unexpected, the solution provides continuous work. Humans tend to make errors once in a while, but the solution has almost zero percent errors."

"The advanced Excel functionalities are really convenient because we work a lot with spreadsheets. It’s also easy to use the HTML selectors. It’s just a click and it picks it up. There’s not a lot of no hard-coding with it."

"The user-friendly environment allows for easy learning, and the end-to-end workflow management is excellent."

More Nintex RPA pros

"The tool's most valuable feature is data import. The OCR feature helps to recognize the data. It can recognize screen and document numbers well."

"This software is very smart - it can decide from a picture if we like that condition, and then the robot will do that action."

Cons

"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."

"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."

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

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

"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."

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

"The documentation for errors needs improvement as many of the error messages we receive are very vague."

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

More Automate cons

"What we are lacking is OCR, the ability to read text. We would like it to have the ability to take a page which is free text and analyze it, and then for the robot to know what to do next. This ability does not exist in Kryon products."

"From our experience, the product is not suitable for end users."

"We need better training and community support in Indonesia."

"Often, it's difficult to loop through a large data set unless the bot has access to the Excel file with specific settings and shortcodes."

"We have found some difficulties regarding the integration with legacy systems where the screen has elements in the Hebrew language. The connection to Hebrew, right-to-left systems, is more challenging."

"Kryon RPA need to enhance the robustness of our multi-board architecture to ensure the availability of bots on multiple machines."

"I would expect that in the first year there is no ROI. It has to be measured over three or five years."

"We use Google Drive a lot. If somebody sends us a spreadsheet or a document, it's going to be in Google’s format. It's not going to be in Microsoft Office format. But currently, there's no integration with Google’s documents. That would be a huge plus to have."

More Nintex RPA cons

"Something that could be improved is that this solution can't run when the computer is locked, which meant we had to implement it in our own on-prem server as it never auto-locks."

"The OCR has issues recognizing handwritten data."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

More Automate pricing and cost advice

"In addition to the standard licensing costs, there are manpower costs."

"We have been able to alleviate two FTEs, which was a big savings for us. We were able to reuse those resources in other locations. It is over 5000 hours a year in total savings."

"The product has reasonable pricing."

"Compared to its competitors, Kryon RPA's pricing is very competitive."

"We're paying in the neighborhood of about $66,000 a year. The cost is fairly similar to its competitors' costs. It might have been a little bit more reasonable than the others, and that cost was with Process Discovery in addition."

"It is very cheap. I would rate the pricing a three out of ten, with ten being expensive."

"We have a yearly license. It's about $5,000 per year."

"Can't beat the price... There are different pricing levels for every bot or unattended bot. You can buy however many you want. You'll need an additional virtual machine for it to work on."

More Nintex RPA pricing and cost advice

"We pay yearly for the agent who runs the processes, plus an additional fee for maintenance costs."
