Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We use it for specific cases, mainly secure file transfers, which are vital for us. And it works for us.""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 interface is simple, user-friendly, and very intuitive.""The best feature of Automate is its ease of use, which is a major selling point.""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.""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.""The pricing is excellent. I would give them perfect marks in that regard.""The most valuable feature is the drag-and-drop interface, which is very Windows-like."

Cons
"The documentation is not that great.""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.""I would like to see some better web automation, a wizard like the one in the product WinAutomation would be very nice.""The solution has a very weak knowledge base.""Some companies have asked for voice integration. This is likely part of the roadmap.""They do not encrypt passwords, so this is an issue with HIPAA compliance.""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 interface could be more user-friendly and easier to navigate."

"There could be some features to fix compatibility issues with firmware.""Nintex RPA is not suitable for PDF automation.""Further simplifying the low-code development process can attract a broader user base by making automation accessible to those with minimal technical skills."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Compared to other products, the pricing model for this solution is much more convenient, flexible, and adaptable to the Portuguese reality."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "I'm only involved in running the product and maintaining the systems, so I can't speak to the cost."
  • "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."
  • "The cost is a bit high for a small business like ours, but we manage with Fortra's Automate."
