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 drag-and-drop interface, which is very Windows-like.""The interface is simple, user-friendly, and very intuitive.""Fortra's Automate performs the job effectively and has the capability to alert us of any issues.""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.""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.""Compared to other vendors, it's the scheduling tool because a lot of vendors want to charge you extra for their enterprise-level license to have a scheduling tool built in to give you the ability to set up regular schedules to run and do certain data checks.""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.""The pricing is excellent. I would give them perfect marks in that regard."

"The most valuable feature of Protegrity Data Security is the reduction of information being exposed.""The product is stable.""The solution’s pricing is moderate.""Its technical support team is helpful."

Cons
"The vendor is currently working on a solution that allows us to automatically create a process that is based on a document that we receive via email.""The documentation for errors needs improvement as many of the error messages we receive are very vague.""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.""Fortra's Automate is not as reliable as I would like it to be.""They do not encrypt passwords, so this is an issue with HIPAA compliance.""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.""The technical support could be better. We suffer from language barriers, as we are in Argentina."

"Protegrity Data Security could improve by having more integration.""The solution's UI could be better.""Protegrity is using a different OS which has some bugs. Sometimes it's causing an initialization error."

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."

  • "We pay for a few additional services apart from its licenses."
