Account Director at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

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.

Associate Manager - Retail Banking Operation at IDFCFIRST

An RPA tool to automate functions, tasks, and processes that also allows users to do coding from the scratch

The initial setup of AutomationEdge was satisfactory for our company. For deployment for a large process, it will take around two months to develop the process. Else, it can be done in fifteen days. My organization gets to automate the banking processes using the solution. There are different requirements for different departments. Finance departments need something to automate their processes, and the requirements may vary for the information management department. There is a different type of automation requirement if there are some secretive documents that we have to keep on triggering mail.

Ishmael Munyai

Robotics Process Automation (RPA) Developer at Apollo Studios

With an easy initial setup phase in place, the tool needs to provide functionalities like web scraping to users

It is a very scalable solution. In ElectroNeek, you can build your project in modular programming or with the use of sub-programs. You can have a lot of sub-programs that make up a whole project. If you don't wanna use the drag-and-drop activities, you can use JavaScript or Python instead. So it's very useful when you are working with things such as SPS. Actually, you can write scripts to support all the product functionalities with Python and manage the product's functions. You will find a company named Apollo Studios on the website of ElectroNeek. I think they are one of the best companies in South Africa that entered into a partnership with ElectroNeek.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best feature of Automate is its ease of use, which is a major selling point."

"The licensing of the product is very good. You only need to license it once and then you have it forever."

"I actually quite liked the no-coding functionality."

"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."

"I like the interface; it makes managing automation easy. We can set different schedules and templates for each task."

"Fortra's Automate has effectively replaced the workload of an entire employee, saving us significant time and money."

"It gives us a central place to schedule tasks and run them distributed."

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

More Automate pros

"The ability to automate our processes with external plug-ins and zero code is the most valuable feature."

"The product's most valuable feature is the executor."

"The support from the vendor is very good."

"It helps us with cost optimization and easy implementation."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support of the solution a nine out of ten."

"The studio design is fine compared to other similar products. There is nothing extraordinary about it, but at the same time, there are not any negatives."

"The chatbot that they have is most valuable. It is one of the best features because they own it, and they don't need to integrate with other parties to have a chatbot. This is one of the main features. The rest of the features are common to all RPA tools or vendors available in the market."

"The most valuable feature of AutomationEdge is creating accounts."

More AutomationEdge pros

"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."

"The solution is user-friendly with a really good UI and ID."

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

"My favorite feature is that you can have unlimited bots without having to buy more licenses. That's a powerful option for scalability."

"The product's setup is straightforward."

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

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

"The most valuable feature is the price."

More ElectroNeek pros

Cons

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

"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."

"There is a lack of good development for artificial intelligence, such as machine learning."

"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."

"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 currently have three bugs open with them that I don't know if they are addressed in the new release."

"It's possible that they could use a stronger community for seeking guidance and help."

"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."

More Automate cons

"The installation process could improve. It was difficult to complete."

"The price of the solution could be improved."

"AutomationEdge's ecosystem has shortcomings and needs improvement. When we compare AutomationEdge to other RPA tools in our company, we find that it has a very minor online community."

"We cannot use extra modules while working with AutomationEdge. It crashes if we have lots of data to process in Excel."

"The ease of use is the main thing on which they really have to focus. If they want to go against the giants, it should be improved in ease of use, and it should be more user-friendly. It would be helpful because everyone should be empowered irrespective of whether they know how to code or not. They should enhance its user interface and make it more intuitive."

"It's not an intuitive tool."

"There are some shortcomings in the product's stability that need improvement."

"AutomationEdge's primary issue is its price point, especially compared to other products."

More AutomationEdge cons

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

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

"I think that this solution could improve remote desktop interactions."

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

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

"ElectroNeek comes with three activities and we cannot add activities like we can with uiPADs."

"Its price could definitely be lower."

"The solution needs to improve its stability."

More ElectroNeek cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Compared to other products, the pricing model for this solution is much more convenient, flexible, and adaptable to the Portuguese reality."

"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."

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

"The cost is a bit high for a small business like ours, but we manage with Fortra's Automate."

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

"From a distributor's perspective, one of the biggest selling points of Automate is its price point."

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

More Automate pricing and cost advice

"The product is available at the lowest price."

"If you are looking for a budget solution, you can consider AE. It has all the features. Scaling it is way easier because of the cost itself."

"It is expensive but its value can justify the cost."

"I give the price of the solution a nine out of ten."

"Price-wise, AutomationEdge is pretty affordable, making it not so expensive when you compare this with other tools in the market."

"The licensing for this solution should have a more competitive pricing model. The price is in the top five of similar products."

"Pricing can be made better. Currently, I think the pricing is based on the market. The pricing also depends on the business partners that offer you the solution."

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

"My company has made a payment towards the purchase of a license from ElectorNeek."

"Its price could definitely be lower. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. There is no additional cost to the standard licensing fees."

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

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

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a seven."
