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

"The ability to automate our processes with external plug-ins and zero code is the most valuable feature."
"The support from the vendor is very good."
"The product's most valuable feature is the executor."
"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."
"It is a valuable tool for developing efficient solutions, especially in finance and banking."
"The most valuable feature of AutomationEdge is creating accounts."
"AutomationEdge is really easy to use because the workflows are simple."
"The best part is the automated workflow, which is quite good and easy. It is just drag-and-drop. We are able to create workflows quite quickly. We are able to directly integrate the data that it generates with Power BI dashboards. Its integration is quite good with other Microsoft tools, such as Power BI. The visualization of the data has become helpful for us."
"I find WinAutomation's linear approach to the code and function calling valuable."
"There is an exhaustive amount of templates that users have access to."
"I like that Power Automate gives us a connector to be able to connect different data sources or different software."
"The RPA robotic process automation is a good feature. We can make a flow within a flow. We just made a UI flow. The flow is to run every day so far it's been quite helpful."
"The development time for ProcessRobot is very good compared to other solutions."
"Good core applications."
"The ease of use and the integration with some of the existing products that we have would be its main takeouts."
 

Cons

"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."
"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 price of the solution could be improved."
"Regarding stability and reliability, AutomationEdge is mid-range. When compared with other tools such as Automation Anywhere and UIPath, they are more stable than AutomationEdge."
"They could provide more technologies for IT and security to enhance machine learning capabilities."
"There are some shortcomings in the product's stability that need improvement."
"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."
"Microsoft Power Automate requires some knowledge and understanding of nuances for setup and security approvals."
"The downside is the lack of orchestration and supplemental tools such as capturing existing processes and using them to build out."
"AI agents could be included in the next releases. Additionally, chatbots would be a great addition."
"When comparing with Automation Anywhere, there are a couple of things that this product doesn't have. One of the major things is the key management system. It would be great if they improve this. Its documentation can also be improved."
"It should be more stable, and their technical support should be faster. It should also have more integration with tools from other vendors, such as SAP and Oracle, and technology partners, such as Salesforce."
"The solution's licensing model is very complex and not straightforward."
"The speed of the application could be improved."
"When we scale up, we switch to another application."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is available at the lowest price."
"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."
"Price-wise, AutomationEdge is pretty affordable, making it not so expensive when you compare this with other tools in the market."
"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."
"I give the price of the solution a nine out of ten."
"It is expensive but its value can justify the cost."
"The license cost could be better."
"It comes with the Microsoft suite. I'd rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."
"When we purchase the Microsoft Dynamics license, the Power Automate license is often free, albeit with some limitations, such as a certain number of transactions per user."
"It is free for us. It is embedded directly in the Office package."
"Comparatively, WinAutomation is cheaper than the other automation tools. When we purchased the license, it was around $50 or $60 per user most probably per month."
"I give the cost a three out of ten."
"Its licensing cost is comparatively less as compared to Automation Anywhere. We have bought a two-year license agreement."
"There is a per-user licensing model for individual users."
