Anabel Marco

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.

Renjith Raghunathan

RPA Team Lead Developer at Standard Chartered Bank

A solution that requires minimal efforts to run multiple activities at the same time

It would be helpful to add more documentation. Currently, there are not many documents available on Google that explain each activity and how to use it or how to use the parameters and pass values. This is an area that could be improved. If I were to add something that would make my life easier in a new release of INTELLIBOT, then it would be making improvements to the way it is interacting with Java. The only challenge with using INTELLIBOT is the way it works with OCR, which can make creating OCR icons very challenging. In addition, there may be challenges in using the Citrix environment.

Sumedin Bilalic

Lead RPA developer at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees

Has a straightforward initial setup process and good technical support services

Adapting to Robocorp is initially challenging, especially compared to drag-and-drop automation tools like Automation Anywhere and UiPath. Writing actual code in Visual Studio Code gives freedom but also requires a learning curve. If you don't have experience with programming languages like Python, it would take six to twelve months to learn. However, once proficient, it enables faster development cycles and the ability to achieve more than traditional tools allow.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"The ability to connect to websites and pull data is the solution's most valuable feature."

"Overall, the whole product is really nice and provides significant benefits."

"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."

"Fortra's Automate performs the job effectively and has the capability to alert us of any issues."

"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."

"We use it for specific cases, mainly secure file transfers, which are vital for us. And it works for us."

"We have found the pricing to be very reasonable."

More Automate pros

"There's a helpful community available through the portal."

"One of the most valuable features of INTELLIBOT is the scripting, which is commonly available with engineers."

"For machine learning, there is an in-built document and text classification feature in INTELLIBOT. That is unlike other RPA tools where one needs to procure a separate license. Besides this, the application is easy to use. One valuable feature is the drag-and-drop feature for AI and email intelligence. It is easier than using UiPath's IQ bot."

"The replay of the automation is an awesome feature."

"It is a stable product. We have been using it for 15 months now, and there have been no issues."

"This solution is easy to use and requires little coding knowledge."

"The return on investment is pretty good because the license cost is cheaper than other RPA tools in the market."

"I have found the most valuable feature to be the straightforward visual editor, it has close to no code required. It allowed us to deploy the email monitoring in this couple of weeks."

"I can use it as a library by importing Python scripts, allowing me to access its many features while working with coding."

"The ability to create separate organizations on this platform makes it easier to bill each of the clients separately."

"The price is good."

"It offers high scalability and enables automation in ways that haven't been possible before."

"The product has a valuable business process automation feature."

"Robocorp is based on Python, so you can use Python scripts and create libraries for your use cases. Building libraries and custom scripts for a particular client and general use cases is easy. We can reuse those scripts for other clients, so we start seeing benefits quickly."

"It supports Python runtime because of that, runtime also improves."

"The solution is based on Python which makes it very valuable."

More Robocorp pros

Cons

"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."

"The solution has a very weak knowledge base."

"I would like to see some better web automation, a wizard like the one in the product WinAutomation would be very nice."

"The documentation is not that great."

"I would prefer not having to log in to update a ticket; being able to respond via email would be beneficial."

"Error messages should be better. For error status, there should be better documentation because a lot of times, error messages that you get are quite vague. For example, you get a message saying that the workflow has run into an unknown status, which is vague. It just tells you that it failed, but you don't know how or why it failed. It makes debugging difficult."

"I find that most important features are strong, however, there is a lack of good development for artificial intelligence, such as machine learning."

"There is a lack of good development for artificial intelligence, such as machine learning."

More Automate cons

"The trigger actions need to be more robust."

"The first pain point of INTELLIBOT was with the development. Whenever the company developed any command, they published it directly onto their SQL site, and our current automation got auto-updated. The second pain point was with the action set. It could be stronger. Moreover, if I am doing UiPath automation, I have to do it with the Internal Report for now."

"I would like to see the cognitive marketing platform improved."

"There are other INTELLIBOT products available in the market that are superior and have been around for a long time. ServiceNow's product could improve by increasing its promotion."

"The solution is heavily dependant on scripts, such as JavaScript or any other external script that needs to be a part of the system. If they want to grow, the scripting dependency should go away. They should have built-in libraries to pull in work from."

"A couple of times, we noticed that some bugs caused the bot to go in the wrong flow."

"Currently, there are not many documents available on Google that explain each activity and how to use it or how to use the parameters and pass values."

"Has limited functionality and uses extensive resources."

"It would be better if it were more user-friendly for non-technical users. It would be better if they had some drag-and-drop features to create logic."

"Robocorp is still in development, so most of the keywords are a bit confusing. I have to alter lots of automation steps between processing and development. However, Selenium is due for an update soon, and Robcorp is addressing some of the limitations caused by the previous Selenium version."

"An additional feature I'm looking for in Robocorp is SAP automation."

"There are certain libraries in Python, such as those dealing with PDF automation and word files, that require the presence of certain external dependencies in the environment to be successfully used."

"The deployment process is complex and not straightforward, especially for legacy modernization."

"We would also like an integrated PDF reader and better integration with custom solutions. The built-in Excel customization is limited, but we can still accomplish what we want using Python. We must rely on Python to customize processes in Robocorp. I don't know about the latest IDE from Robocorp, but the old one doesn't have a lot of activities."

"The standard libraries in Robocorp should be more advanced."

"We use the latest version of the process studio and it takes up a lot of CPU storage. In our case, this has been up to 14 GB of storage."

More Robocorp cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"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."

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

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

"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 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."

"From a distributor's perspective, one of the biggest selling points of Automate is its price point."

More Automate pricing and cost advice

"The solution requires a license and we purchased one annually. We were satisfied with the price."

"It is quite cheap. In the year 2019, it was $1000 for a year."

"INTELLIBOT with the DPA costs approximately $1,500 USD."

"At the time, one license was $5,000 USD. If we needed to negotiate for more licenses, we could negotiate a bit on the price."

"Robocorp is much better in terms of pricing compared to UiPath."

"In terms of licenses, there is a return on investment in that area."

"It's a cost-effective solution."

"The pricing is fine."

"The price is cheaper than other competitors. I would rate the cost as one out of five."

"The solution is a very affordable price."

"The product has good pricing."

"You don't have to pay for the license. You have to pay for the time you use it."
