Featured Reviews

Anabel Marco - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
PARTH DAVE - PeerSpot reviewer
A reliable and easy-to-use tool that reduces the code development time by a month
It works really well with systems like SAP. There is no latency in the product. It also works as a cloud-based CoE. It can be used for orchestration and deciphering documents. The tool is very easy to use. It is a low-code and no-code solution. It reduces the code development time by a month. It is a very productive and powerful tool.
Ishmael Munyai - PeerSpot reviewer
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 like the interface; it makes managing automation easy. We can set different schedules and templates for each task."
"It gives us a central place to schedule tasks and run them distributed."
"I find the ease of use from a programming perspective very valuable."
"The ability to connect to websites and pull data is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The product effectively handles all the tasks we require."
"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."
"The licensing of the product is very good. You only need to license it once and then you have it forever."
"The best feature of Automate is its ease of use, which is a major selling point."
"We used it for process automation."
"It’s scalable."
"One of the most valuable features is automating manual and repetitive business processes, streamlining operations and reducing manual labour."
"The most valuable feature is the customizability."
"Ability to see the blueprint of the design executed alongside the actual process."
"Its AI features allow customers to find specific documents via an index."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to write custom code."
"It is secure and supports unattended mode of operations."
"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."
"The product's setup is straightforward."
"The solution is user-friendly with a really good UI and ID."
"The most valuable feature is the price."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"ElectroNeek was extremely easy to use, especially its UI was easy to navigate with limited training."
"My favorite feature is that you can have unlimited bots without having to buy more licenses. That's a powerful option for scalability."
"The cost is the best thing about ElectroNeek."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The intelligent automation feature could be improved. It's interesting because it's simple, but the automation quality isn't always good. It's easy to use, but sometimes you need to make a slight improvement to the automation, and that's not so easy."
"We really need a free development environment for customers. Building and testing automation on production isn't ideal."
"The documentation for errors needs improvement as many of the error messages we receive are very vague."
"I would prefer not having to log in to update a ticket; being able to respond via email would be beneficial."
"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."
"The AI part is currently missing in Blue Prism Studio... It would be good if the AI part is included in Blue Prism Studio, which can make it much more efficient and good to work."
"The cost is a bit high. Other tools are much cheaper."
"The pricing of the solution could be improved. It's a bit expensive right now. They should work to make it more competitive."
"The solution is unable to read some UI components in legacy systems."
"They should work on the solution's pricing."
"It could be more flexible."
"Improvement should be per customer requirements."
"If Blue Prism could integrate into Azure SQL because it's essentially an on-prem code, on infrastructure as a service. So, Blue Prism has moved the infrastructure into the cloud, but they haven't necessarily moved the application into cloud-native."
"Its price could definitely be lower."
"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."
"ElectroNeek comes with three activities and we cannot add activities like we can with uiPADs."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve its stability."
"The solution works well with Google Chrome, but not with Microsoft Edge, which is the browser we use for automation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Once you buy the software, you just pay for the support for backend help."
"I'm only involved in running the product and maintaining the systems, so I can't speak to the cost."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It comes with a package that costs approximately $20,000 USD per year."
"When compared with UiPath, I believe it will be difficult for Blue Prism to maintain its market share."
"We found the pricing reasonable, and it aligned with our budgetary requirements."
"The licensing of the solution is on a subscription-based model and costs around 4,999 for one bot's license. If someone wants to increase the number of bots you want from Blue Prism, then they provide a discount."
"There are costs for the machine to run the robots."
"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 rate the platform’s pricing a seven out of ten."
"Blue Prism Cloud’s pricing is fine for commercial usage."
"The licensing structure is complex and the minimum contract length is three years."
"I give the price an eight out of ten."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a seven."
"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."
"It's very affordable and the licensing is billed on a yearly basis."
