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.

Automates accounts payable process with no human interaction and saves 100% time

Edge browser extensions could be made slightly more resilient. It would be nice if they could package new libraries for end users rather than have them search for libraries. The extension resiliency would be huge. If we're looking for intelligent document processing and OCR functionality, we haven't found them yet.

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

"The ability to connect to websites and pull data is the solution's most valuable feature."

"The pricing is excellent. I would give them perfect marks in that regard."

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

"This tool has machine learning and voice recognition and computer vision, which are both quite useful aspects. These aren't available in other tools. It's a good addition to this tool and it gives the solution an edge on the market."

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

More Automate pros

"The technical support team of Blue Prism Cloud is very good...I rate the support a ten out of ten."

"This product has additional functionality over Blue Prism Cloud Enterprise."

"One of the most valuable features is automating manual and repetitive business processes, streamlining operations and reducing manual labour."

"Blue Prism Cloud is a stable solution."

"Blue Prism offers the whole package for LPR developers. It's a useful tool to automate anything. As an LPR developer, I think the most important feature is that it lets you get anything into blocks of code that you can use anywhere."

"What I like best about Blue Prism Cloud is that it's secure, robust, and has 24 x 7 support available. I also find the solution quick and intelligent. Even a non-coder can easily use it."

"The most valuable feature of Blue Prism's Virtual Workforce is that it is quite stable."

"I would say that the stability of Blue Prism is superior to any of the competing products because of the maintainability of the features and the openness of the tool."

More Blue Prism Cloud pros

"The product's setup is straightforward."

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

"The cost is the best thing about ElectroNeek."

"The most valuable feature is the price."

"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."

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

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

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

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."

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

"I would like to see some better web automation, a wizard like the one in the product WinAutomation would be very nice."

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

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

"Fortra's Automate is not as reliable as I would like it to be."

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

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

More Automate cons

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

"They should improve the user-friendliness and they should change their business model."

"Blue Prism Cloud could improve by having more innovations for the solution, such as more capability. I am looking for cloud-based services, such as Power Automate that we can recommend for cloud customers. UiPath and Automation Anywhere have more innovation in their solution."

"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."

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

"Pricing for Blue Prism Cloud is a pain as it's a little higher."

"We have limited integrations in place, and my objective is to integrate Sentinel. However, there are constraints as some individuals have only one or two options for SIM integration solutions. Given the urgency of quick resolutions in today's landscape, prevention and detection are crucial. While these measures provide significant security, it's equally important to focus on response and recovery. In the case of a ransomware attack, it's not enough to solely prevent and detect. Once detection is in place, a response model should be implemented to automate the process and minimize the time required for tasks, such as creating investigation reports. In the past, it would take approximately seven to eight days to create an investigation report for a specific attack, including writing a case study. This process can be streamlined and improved through the automation of contextual investigation reports. By saving base templates and content, including screenshots and attack details, automation can be achieved. We are currently working on integrating Microsoft WAF and Excel for this purpose, but having a built-in tool would be ideal."

"The product’s licensing cost is expensive compared to other tools in the market."

More Blue Prism Cloud cons

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

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

"Its price could definitely be lower."

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

"The solution needs to improve its stability."

"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."

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

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."

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

"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."

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

"It has gone up in price. The price of Fortra's Automate has increased since we first started using it. It does a lot but also costs a lot. It was a lot more affordable before Fortra owned the software."

"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."

"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."

More Automate pricing and cost advice

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

"There are many RPA solutions available from different vendors and the pricing for Blue Prism is competitive."

"The licensing structure is complex and the minimum contract length is three years."

"I rate the platform’s pricing a seven out of ten."

"Though I don't have many details, I think Blue Prism Cloud is an expensive product compared to the other tools in the market since you need to pay for resources like machines."

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

"We pay about $15,000 per quarter in licensing costs. We don't have to pay for any other extra costs. There isn't, for example, an extra cost for technical support. We just pay the licensing."

"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."

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

"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."

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