We performed a comparison between Fortra's Automate and Pega Robotic Process Automation based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features for my client are timing and scheduling."
"I actually quite liked the no-coding functionality."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the drag-and-drop interface, which is very Windows-like."
"The solution is continuously adding more integrations to help with workflows and bot and task creation."
"The solution's ability to create adapters quickly is its most valuable feature."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The initial setup is pretty easy and quite fast."
"I am impressed with the tool's recording feature."
"The most valuable feature of Pega Robotic Process Automation is the technique: you can create a user interface that can interact with a human being for attended robots."
"The tech support is highly available and there is plenty of online training available."
"User-friendly, easy to understand and has many features including the ability to track."
"It was very smooth and very seamless to create automations."
"The solution has a very weak knowledge base."
"Fortra's Automate is not as reliable as I would like it to be."
"Sometimes when we communicate with the ERP system and there is an issue, we are not always aware of the specifics of Automate and the source of the problem."
"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 documentation is not that great."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and easier to navigate."
"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 development experience needs to be improved."
"The new players such as UiPath and ABBYY are moving very quickly, but Pega is not. I'd definitely like to see Pega doing a few more interesting things on the AI or machine learning front so that we can use the platform for multiple things."
"The ease-of-use could be improved."
"Rule versioning and deployment to enable parallel development could still be improved"
"It is still a niche skill and resources are scarce in the market unless big IT companies are involved."
"In Pega, the UI has to be improved because that is the most challenging area that most of our customers ask for because we have to depend on some other React JS or some other tool to bring that kind of UI experience. So, there is a lot of room for improvement in terms of UI and UX."
"Pega Robotic Process Automation can improve the OGR area. You don't have a feature to read documents in computer voices."
"The orchestration needs to be better."
