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.

Robotic Process Automation Consultant at Ernst & Young

Way more efficient for debugging than other tools but the UI is complicated

The UI is more complicated than other tools. In Power Automate, it doesn't even feel like you are working because the tool does the job for you. But in the solution, there are studio, process, and object interfaces and you have to decode your own objects. The free objects that are predefined are not good compared to other tools. There is still a lot of work to do on the solution's intelligent automation part.

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

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

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

"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."

"Web scraping is quite good since it offers a lot of possibilities."

"We have tried other RPA solutions like UiPath or Automation Anywhere. They are fantastic products but complex, and it's hard to understand everything. It would be best if you had a skilled developer or several. Automate is easy to implement, administer, and use. It's appropriate for us because our cases are simple and easy to automate. We don't need complicated tools with many features; We prefer to get a significant ROI quickly."

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

"The most valuable features of Fortra's Automate include its FTP functionality and file manipulation capabilities."

More Automate pros

"We have integrated the product with our centralized infra-monitoring tool, which gives us real-time insights into BOT health and also the health of the underlying resources."

"The most valuable feature is that people with zero coding knowledge can use Blue Prism very well."

"I like the cloud features such as IADA and Decipher."

"All of the processes that we've automated have been completed successfully, and the bots are able to process them as expected."

"The overall package from Blue Prism is valuable. I cannot pinpoint one certain part."

"For one, it's easy to set up, and once it gets running it can handle multiple processes in an efficient manner. It's a very robust system."

"If there is a task that Blue Prism cannot do out of the box, Blue Prism provides me the facility of designing one and integrating it into the application. This process is called Visual Basic Objects."

"Mostly we use the Design Studio to develop the automation. It's great. We put them into deployment and have the automated process running. It's essentially the Design Studio for Blue Prism and the entire methodology of delivery that is the most useful or valuable to us."

More Blue Prism pros

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

"The product's setup is straightforward."

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

"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."

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

"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."

More ElectroNeek pros

Cons

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

"The technical support could be better. We suffer from language barriers, as we are in Argentina."

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

"The OCR for Hebrew text needs to be improved."

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

"While this solution is continually improving, as it is now, the user interface could use improvement when I compare it to a product like UiPath."

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

"The workflow for variables could be better. The input and output of task-level variables could be made a little clearer in terms of passing those around from one task to another upon success, etc. Things like that could be a little easier potentially."

More Automate cons

"The UI is more complicated than other tools."

"I would like to see the vendor improve the efficiency of Blue Prism interaction with applications."

"Though Blue Prism has now come up with features like decipher and computer vision, it is still not able to address most of the issues, making it an area of concern where improvements are required."

"Blue Prism could improve by having better integration with Computer Vision."

"There are many reasons why many companies don't go for Blue Prism. It is not open, and the community addition is not available. Blue Prism provides support through partnership. You need to do a partnership with them, which is a major disadvantage. You contact a Blue Prism team, and they will schedule a meeting with you. They will give you a demo and help you set up everything, whereas with UiPath and Automation Anywhere, you can try the community edition, and if it fits your needs, you simply buy a license for that. The initial setup of Blue Prism is complex. They simply provide a PDF or documentation for you to go through it, whereas, if you go with UiPath or Automation Anywhere, they have several videos and community support to guide you. The documentation of Blue Prism is static. They don't have any sort of videos or open forums. Other tools have got a lot of community support, but Blue Prism doesn't have that. Its training is also hard to attain, and they also don't provide any certification."

"The solution is not user-friendly. It has a very high learning curve."

"I have found that community support is lacking for this solution compared to competitors."

"I would like to see a cloud version of Blue Prism available. Both cloud and on-premise options would be beneficial, as they would reduce maintenance costs. I'm using the Blue Prism desktop, which is still in the initial stages. I want enhancements in the Object Explorer and Application Model features to ensure stability in upcoming versions. I have suggested a few ideas, such as incorporating triggering mechanisms, but I haven't seen them implemented yet."

More Blue Prism cons

"Its price could definitely be lower."

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

"The solution needs to improve its stability."

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

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

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

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

"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

"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 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."

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

"Compared to other products, the pricing model for this solution is much more convenient, flexible, and adaptable to the Portuguese reality."

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

"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."

"The cost is a bit high for a small business like ours, but we manage with Fortra's Automate."

More Automate pricing and cost advice

"Licensing is on a yearly basis."

"Blue Prism is an expensive solution, especially in Southeast Asia, while in Europe and the UK, it can be considered moderate in terms of cost."

"There is a one-time purchase fee for this solution."

"Its price should be lower."

"I would rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."

"It is a bit higher in cost as compared to Automation Anywhere and UiPath. The rate also differs from client to client. Margins are also important when it comes to costing and licensing. There are some additional costs involved besides the standard licensing costs. You have the development team cost, which includes the project manager, development team, analyst, and testers. You also need a team manager. You also have the tools cost, architecture cost, platform cost, and the licensing cost of each bot."

"My clients tend to feel that the overall implementation cost is a little high."

"Blue Prism is less expensive than some of the other RPA solutions."

More Blue Prism pricing and cost advice

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

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

"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."

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