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.

Enables efficient information extraction with strong OCR capabilities
The solution itself is valuable due to its ability to classify and extract information with embedded OCR, which is good. ABBYY has a very good OCR in both Arabic and English. Additionally, they have a new version called Vantage, which is cloud-based. However, we still work with the old version because most of our clients are government entities.

Comes with API services and data analytics features but needs to improve stability
We use the product for API and interface collections.  The tool's most valuable features are API services and data analytics.  Datamatics TruCap+ needs to improve its stability.  I have been working with the product for a month.  I rate the tool's stability an eight out of ten.  The product is…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of Fortra's Automate include its FTP functionality and file manipulation capabilities."
"It gives us a central place to schedule tasks and run them distributed."
"The interface is simple, user-friendly, and very intuitive."
"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 feature is the drag-and-drop interface, which is very Windows-like."
"The best feature of Automate is its ease of use, which is a major selling point."
"I find the ease of use from a programming perspective very valuable."
"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."
"We like the fact that this solution is enterprise-ready, so it can be deployed on-premises, scale it, etc."
"The advantage for ABBYY Vantage is in the visual tools to parameterize and set documents."
"The document preset creation feature in ABBYY Vantage has been very effective for data extraction."
"It's easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to scale for big processes. We are able to process 1 million pages a day. Its accuracy is also very nice. It is a good feature that they have. It is an independent platform, which is its biggest advantage as compared to other solutions. It is also very stable and powerful. It is 100% on time."
"Integration is very easy. There are lots of connectors."
"ABBYY Vantage is user-friendly...The deployment process can be done in a few minutes."
"Its OCR Engine is very successful, and it is the leading OCR Engine. It also has NLP support."
"The tool's most valuable features are API services and data analytics."
 

Cons

"The documentation is not that great."
"The OCR for Hebrew text needs to be improved."
"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."
"The solution has a very weak knowledge base."
"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."
"The technical support could be better. We suffer from language barriers, as we are in Argentina."
"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."
"I would prefer not having to log in to update a ticket; being able to respond via email would be beneficial."
"The recognition intelligence could improve by having more details in the documents. There are limitations with the forms, templates, and manuscripts."
"This solution should have better integration with RPA solutions such as Blue Prism."
"We would like the workflow building within this solution to be more transparent, which would allow us to model the process."
"Not a ten because sometimes some documents have handwritten data. If this improved, I would rate it a ten out of ten."
"Could be simplified, particularly the UI."
"The initial setup was relatively complex. The people who install it must be knowledgeable about what they are doing."
"ABBYY Vantage's reporting could be improved - they don't have any out-of-the-box or detailed advanced reports."
"The vendor invoice processing skill of ABBYY Vantage could be enhanced by adding more fields that are commonly used across multiple invoices."
"Datamatics TruCap+ needs to improve its stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From a distributor's perspective, one of the biggest selling points of Automate is its price point."
"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."
"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'm only involved in running the product and maintaining the systems, so I can't speak to the cost."
"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."
"Once you buy the software, you just pay for the support for backend help."
"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 is expensive as compared to UiPath. We pay for the licensing and the page count."
"I give the price a six out of ten."
"You need to purchase user licenses, and you also need to purchase the license for the pages. User licenses are required for your developers to use the developer tools, and you also need to ensure that there is a pool of licenses for the business users so that they can log in and perform their activities."
"Most of our customers have purchased an annual license and if you have multiple developers from other companies, you can assign the license on a monthly basis to developers."
"They have a trial license that is limited to a certain number of pages. The paid license varies from six months to one year depending on the number of documents that need to be processed."
"The price of this ABBYY FlexiCapture is a bit expensive and the price is based on how many documents have been captured. For example, one or two million captures."
"The price per page is high."
"The cost is per page we use. So, the number of pages we use will be its cost."
