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.

It helps us save on staff costs

I rate Blue Prism Cloud eight out of 10 for ease of setup. It's a cloud-based solution, so it isn't hard to set up. The deployment time is hard to quantify because I work for the government, and we need to go through all these internal reviews, but the technical part takes three to four weeks. The biggest challenge is security because we need to integrate it with Active Directory and set up VPN tunnels, security profiles, etc. We deployed Blue Prism in-house and used three people to set it up. One solution engineer is enough to maintain it.

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

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

"The solution is continuously adding more integrations to help with workflows and bot and task creation."

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

"We are still in the process of rolling it to production and tweaking it (our AD groups are a mess), but the improvements are priceless. Having users ID's created the same way every time without human error is the best part. We don't need to worry about why groups were not added, user rights not set to folders or missing a private folder being created, typos or just even knowing when things are done and logged."

"It's very easy to use. That's a big selling point for it. It has got a drag-and-drop interface, so you can quickly deploy bots."

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

"I find it very user-friendly. Our IT department and other departments can seamlessly collaborate without requiring extensive training. As a business department, we particularly value this aspect, as our team doesn't consist of many IT users. However, we couldn't solely rely on a drag-and-drop approach to implement and utilize the solution within our departments."

"We use it for specific cases, mainly secure file transfers, which are vital for us. And it works for us."

More Automate pros

"The primary focus lies in integrating the three major cloud platforms with Blue Prism Cloud: Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, and GCP. This integration goes beyond security measures for the primary template policies. It also includes addressing compliance requirements. For instance, I can incorporate specific compliance templates and policies generated in Blue Prism and integrate them with local templates for ISO 27001 and GDPR, particularly concerning software tools and headsets. This integration eliminates the need for auditing and reviewing technical details individually. Instead, I can simply examine the container report. This approach proves beneficial when clients heavily rely on container environments."

"The most valuable feature is security."

"It's easy to use, the interface, the the the the queries is which we use. It's user friendly."

"It provides good, clean data that enhances our AI initiatives."

"Once it does the monitor, it collects the respective data and creates an output that is required for reconfiguration."

"Blue Prism is able to scale up at an enterprise-level. It's what I used when I was working for a big bank in Belgium."

"With Blue Prism, I like the feature that you build, I don't know the exact name now, but blocks or standards can be reduced later. You configure, for example, the CRM system, and you create a standardized manner of inputting data into the CRM system that you can reuse later. I'm not sure what that's called, but I enjoy it whether it's a feature or not."

"It is an easily scalable solution."

More Blue Prism Cloud pros

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

"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."

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

"The product's setup is straightforward."

"The most valuable feature is the price."

"The cost is the best thing about ElectroNeek."

More ElectroNeek pros

Cons

"Some companies have asked for voice integration. This is likely part of the roadmap."

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

"I would like the updates to be easier to deploy. Integration with Amazon S3 is somewhat lacking."

"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."

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

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

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

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

More Automate cons

"The pricing was a bit high, from what I understand. That might have played a role in the decision to migrate to another solution."

"I wouldn't call Blue Prism user-friendly. It's one of its downfalls. They would benefit from having drag and drop functionality, for example. It would make them a strong competitor in the space. There needs to be less reliance on coding for customization, similar to Microsoft's Power Automate."

"I personally would like the solution to be supporting more languages."

"It takes a while to get up and running."

"The vendor does not make their pricing clear when you are searching for it, which is something that needs to be improved."

"The solution is unable to read some UI components in legacy systems."

"The tool’s customer support should improve. There were instances where I tried to call them up and was put on hold. However, they do revert back through emails once a ticket has been issued. They should be quick with their responses on calls."

"The issue is that it is not dynamic or intelligent."

More Blue Prism Cloud cons

"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."

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

"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."

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

"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

"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."

"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."

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

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

"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."

"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 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."

More Automate pricing and cost advice

"Annual licensing costs were somewhere between $5,000 - $10,000 for the development tool. For the control tower, I think fees were about $50,000 annually."

"I am not sure how we are set up today, but I recall we had an annual License."

"When compared with UiPath, I believe it will be difficult for Blue Prism to maintain its market share."

"The pricing for Blue Prism Cloud is two out of ten because it's higher than every other technology. My company is on a three-year Blue Prism Cloud license."

"Pricing can be negotiated in situations where there will be heavy usage."

"The default configuration does not include large-scale log injection, but if you require, such integration, it may incur additional costs per gigabyte. I don't have the exact pricing information for log injection, but it is possible that it varies depending on the volume of data. While there may be a basic service included, additional features might come at an extra cost. When working with cloud environments like VMs, calculating costs involves considering factors such as usage duration, network traffic, inbound and outbound data transfer, as well as network access control. The pricing structure for cloud coverage solutions follows a similar pattern, although specific pricing details would need to be obtained separately."

"The pricing is fine."

"Blue Prism Cloud's cost is very high."

More Blue Prism Cloud pricing and cost advice

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

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

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

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

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

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