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.

We can connect to different databases and use inbuilt activities, but we can't include our own activities
We can use its inbuilt activities, and it's a complete package, but just like ElectroNeek, a limitation is that we have to depend on its inbuilt activities. We can't include our own activities or we can't introduce other activities. When it comes to deployment and scheduling bots, there are some conflicts. They are using Microsoft MQ to communicate with their bots, but it's not reliable. When we are scheduling time, if I need to schedule an interval of one minute, sometimes, the queue gets loaded with a lot of processes or bots, and they don't wait until the first one gets complete. So, that sort of disadvantage is there. I have found one bug in version 22 when sending or configuring mail. While using their orchestration environment, on IBM Server, you can configure an SMTP connection to send out the details you want. For example, when you create a user, they send out an email. That part didn't work, and I created a few tickets. The issue is that there's a typo in the endpoint API. They have probably corrected it in version 23.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"The solution is user-friendly with a really good UI and ID."
"ElectroNeek was extremely easy to use, especially its UI was easy to navigate with limited training."
"The product's setup is straightforward."
"We find the OCR feature very valuable, due to the corrector recognition that it provides; this is very useful for document processing."
"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 quality is great! It's very strong and has a very strong platform."
"The feature I found most valuable is the TCO."
"It's integrated with all the other products within the Salesforce ecosystem."
"The solution's ease of use is its most valuable aspect."
"The good stuff about IBM is the fact that it's very easy to use, there are very nice and smart AI tools within the licensing that you don't have to pay any access. Moreover, it's more precise and more secure."
"IBM Robotic Process Automation has greatly improved the organization by improving the speed of performance, as the speed of the robot is estimated to be 20 times faster than the human being."
"Integrating the tool with SAP, EBS, or other ERPs is easy."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"ElectroNeek comes with three activities and we cannot add activities like we can with uiPADs."
"Its price could definitely be lower."
"The solution works well with Google Chrome, but not with Microsoft Edge, which is the browser we use for automation."
"The integrating capability of the product needs to be improved, to ensure that it works with all systems involved in a process."
"It's not applicable to very large enterprises and for difficult work or more complex processes."
"IBM’s support should improve response time."
"I would like it to do pretty much everything out-of-the-box without any need for any customization. However, that is not the case right now. We absolutely have to do some amount of customization with the solution in order to use it out-of-the-box as-is."
"IBM should provide specific solutions for specific problems, like templates for invoicing processes, or general templates for creating efficient processes."
"Capturing GUI operations is very easy, but capturing IBM Logistics automation is hard. It does not always work with browsers or automotive applications like SAP."
"The product's document readers must be improved to capture the data well."
"Stability could be better."
"I would like to have more flexibility in connecting the platform with third-party systems."
"One of the things I would definitely like to see is more of the machine-learning and cognitive capabilities. For example, now that we're starting to automate more and more tasks, there are some things that still require us to go back and modify the robots when we need to. But if we had more of the machine-learning integrated into it, I believe it would be easier to maintain, so that we wouldn't have to go back and adjust every time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company has made a payment towards the purchase of a license from ElectorNeek."
"I believe we had a Silver Membership or something similar annually."
"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."
"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."
"The license is paid annually."
"There is a free trial for one month, so you can use it to run your payloads or proof of concept. After that, you can pay for the license on a monthly or annual basis."
"I rate the pricing ten out of ten. So, the pricing is very good for me."
"The pricing is reasonable for this solution."
"IBM licensing is annual and based on Virtual Processor Cores (VPC). This provides flexibility as part of the containerization environment."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The product is reasonably priced compared to other tools."
"IBM RPA is cheaper than other tools."
