We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The initial setup is very quick."

More Another Monday Pros →

"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.""The solution is continuously adding more integrations to help with workflows and bot and task creation.""Fortra's Automate performs the job effectively and has the capability to alert us of any issues.""The licensing of the product is very good. You only need to license it once and then you have it forever.""It gives us a central place to schedule tasks and run them distributed.""The best feature of Automate is its ease of use, which is a major selling point.""I actually quite liked the no-coding functionality.""We use it for specific cases, mainly secure file transfers, which are vital for us. And it works for us."

Cons
"The solution should come with language customization, which would simplify its use for our customers."

More Another Monday Cons →

"The interface could be more user-friendly and easier to navigate.""I would like to see some better web automation, a wizard like the one in the product WinAutomation would be very nice.""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.""The documentation is not that great.""The workflow for variables could be better. The input and output of task-level variables could be made a little clearer in terms of passing those around from one task to another upon success, etc. Things like that could be a little easier potentially.""The documentation for errors needs improvement as many of the error messages we receive are very vague.""The vendor is currently working on a solution that allows us to automatically create a process that is based on a document that we receive via email.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "There is no licensing fee for our customers."
  • More Another Monday Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
  • "It comes with a package that costs approximately $20,000 USD per year."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "From a distributor's perspective, one of the biggest selling points of Automate is its price point."
  • "The cost is a bit high for a small business like ours, but we manage with Fortra's Automate."

    Overview

    Building a fully-automated robotic process environment where robot
    workers performed an equivalent volume of work of over 1,500 full-time
    virtual employees required the careful development and optimization of
    an RPA-architecture.
    We created an architecture that embodies the best practices of both
    RPA-methodology and RPA-tools. These two components defined automation
    best practices like the enforcing of a rigorous process mapping and a
    process automation design approach that captures every action for all
    workflow possibilities and exceptions. Further, this enables a bot that
    could seamlessly recover from exception-based failures. Ultimately,
    that delivers industrial-grade performance at scale!

    Automate is an easy-to-use RPA software solution that boosts your productivity by transforming virtually any business or IT process. Get scalable automation capabilities whether you need a solution for one department, a small business, or an enterprise-wide Center of Excellence (CoE) initiative—Automate is built and priced right for employee-driven automation for any organization.
