Delivers increased productivity and streamlines fraud processing in banking, though technical support could be faster
Before AutomationEdge, we had to hire coder-level experts with Java or Python knowledge. This approach took considerable time and required error handling to automate processes. With this tool, all processes are automatically handled with errors, and no-code automation is available. The cost for a developer is now significantly lower. Previously, we hired highly efficient developers with high salary packages. The license cost of 5 to 10 lakhs per year for one person to automate is equivalent to a person's annual salary. With the license and a developer hired at 3 to 5 lakhs, we can automate 40 to 50 processes.

Automating processes has saved time and improved communication
Something frustrates me concerning Microsoft Power Automate, and that is about the integration with Microsoft Forms and Excel. The issue now is that I don't get my responses synchronized automatically, and that frustrates me a lot. If the team could take this as feedback, the synchronization of the feedback responses from the forms and the Excel sheets should be seamless. This synchronization issue happens frequently, and it causes a lot of delays in the sense that the mails that ought to go out to the agents fail at some point. I have to reload these responses so that the agents can get their responses as when submitted. What I notice is that the responses don't go out without proper synchronization, so I reload the field responses, and this works afterwards. I would say probably a seamless walkthrough process for new users would be beneficial. For those using it for the first time, a seamless walkthrough process would be fine.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AutomationEdge is really easy to use because the workflows are simple."
"It is a valuable tool for developing efficient solutions, especially in finance and banking."
"If we want to change your processes, we can code it from scratch, making it a beneficial feature of the product."
"The staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect, even surprising us with a complimentary dessert to celebrate our anniversary."
"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 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."
"In general terms, the solution has helped our business by speeding up execution times."
"The most valuable feature of AutomationEdge is creating accounts."
"Workflow management is what clients select the most. It is very intuitive and pretty much drag-and-drop, so we can create escalation, decision flows, and if-else conditions pretty much by dragging and dropping boxes. Even someone who is not technical can develop a workflow for the business."
"To me, what's most useful in WinAutomation by Softomotive is that it's quite intuitive, especially because most of the capabilities of the older WinAutomation remain. You also don't need to do or know hard coding, and this is another useful feature of the solution. I also like that WinAutomation by Softomotive integrates very well with Microsoft products, especially Microsoft Office, and this is great news because most companies use Microsoft Office. Having a very good integration with the Microsoft Office suite covers a lot of bases, and is one of the advantages of WinAutomation by Softomotive."
"So far, based on the development calculators that we've been running, it's running far smoother and far more efficiently and faster."
"It is a stable solution."
"Its integration with the Office 365 ecosystem is most valuable. We use a lot of ready-to-use templates."
"It makes work easier."
"With the desktop version, we can automate many things. The ability to do a lot of things is one of the most valuable features."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
 

Cons

"We cannot use extra modules while working with AutomationEdge. It crashes if we have lots of data to process in Excel."
"When compared with other tools such as Automation Anywhere and UIPath, they are more stable than AutomationEdge."
"There are some shortcomings in the product's stability that need improvement."
"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."
"They could provide more technologies for IT and security to enhance machine learning capabilities."
"In the future, they should have a similar version for the cloud and on-premises, and the installation should be flawless within few minutes."
"It's not an intuitive tool."
"With the solution, customizing software can be time-consuming."
"While using this solution, we found it to be basic."
"AI agents could be included in the next releases. Additionally, chatbots would be a great addition."
"I've had issues with reordering columns. When I tried to do it, it seemed to take a long time, and then, later, it gave me some kind of error."
"The product should improve its RPA capabilities."
"It would be great if you could integrate outside of Microsoft environments."
"WinAutomation is missing a lot of options that are available in UiPath."
"The solution lacks maturity."
"The solution's licensing model is very complex and not straightforward."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The licensing for this solution should have a more competitive pricing model. The price is in the top five of similar products."
"The product is available at the lowest price."
"Price-wise, AutomationEdge is pretty affordable, making it not so expensive when you compare this with other tools in the market."
"I give the price of the solution a nine out of ten."
"You can have two types of licenses, one is user-based, and the other is app-based in the Power Platform."
"The licensing cost for us at this time is between $8 and $20 per user, per month."
"We use Office 365 and this solution is free for me to use with the package we have. We have plans to increase the usage of Microsoft Power Automate."
"It comes with the Microsoft suite. I'd rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."
"The cost to use Microsoft Power Automate is approximately $15 per user per month, for the basic plan. However, the solution comes free with the Microsoft 365 Suite."
"Currently, we are using the free license for testing. After everything is done, we'll buy the license."
"They have the community edition that people can use for free, and they also have the enterprise edition. My company uses the enterprise edition, and I don't know how much they pay."
"It's more fragmented licensing, where every little thing that you add, you get an extra license cost."
