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.

Excels in cost efficiency and integration options while improving Java dependency

Excel automation is a very good feature in AutomationEdge. In Excel automation, it is much easier than other platforms. It is not complex, and using data massaging, we can combine data together. It is very easy in AutomationEdge for performing data massaging. Regarding AI capabilities, AutomationEdge has a platform called DocuEdge, in which data extraction with PDFs and images is performed. In DocuEdge, we have GenAI integration where we can use prompt engineering. We provide text and according to that text, it will provide values to us. In terms of RPA solutions, it is very good. It is more affordable than other tools, and we can perform almost all tasks using AutomationEdge. While it is not as advanced as tools such as UIPath, we can definitely achieve any automation using AutomationEdge. We can implement various scripts including Python, Java, JavaScript, SQL, and PowerShell scripts. Regarding scalability, we can definitely use it in scalable projects. Sometimes we face issues when working with large data sets, but these issues can be reduced. The scalability is good in AutomationEdge.

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

"Overall, the whole product is really nice and provides significant benefits."

"Fortra's Automate performs the job effectively and has the capability to alert us of any issues."

"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."

"I find the ease of use from a programming perspective very valuable."

"We have found the pricing to be very reasonable."

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

"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."

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

More Automate pros

"If we want to change your processes, we can code it from scratch, making it a beneficial feature of the product."

"We can quickly adapt to our end users."

"The initial setup was easy and straightforward."

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

"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."

"It is a valuable tool for developing efficient solutions, especially in finance and banking."

"The staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect, even surprising us with a complimentary dessert to celebrate our anniversary."

More AutomationEdge pros

"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 initial setup phase was easy."

"The cost is the best thing about ElectroNeek."

"The most valuable feature is the price."

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

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

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

"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."

More ElectroNeek pros

Cons

"I would prefer not having to log in to update a ticket; being able to respond via email would be beneficial."

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

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

"Some challenges include the system being too loaded or delayed in taking instructions and responding quickly as needed."

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

"The documentation is not that great."

"I find that most important features are strong, however, there is a lack of good development for artificial intelligence, such as machine learning."

"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."

More Automate cons

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

"With other automation solutions in the market, we can simulate the process in our notebooks where the solution creates the code for us, but with AutomationEdge we can't do this."

"With the solution, customizing software can be time-consuming."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

More AutomationEdge cons

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

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

"The solution needs to improve its stability."

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

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

"Its price could definitely be lower."

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

"When I wanted to use web scraping for tables in web applications, I found through online forums that such functionality or activity is currently not working as it shows."

More ElectroNeek cons

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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

More Automate pricing and cost advice

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

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

"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."

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

"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."

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

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

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

"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."

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

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