Automate has streamlined workflows and increased efficiency with powerful automation
The best features of the solution are the flexible automation features, it is rich with beautiful connectors, and it is easy to use with little to no coding knowledge required to get started, so anybody can use the tool. The intuitive interface of Automate has an intuitive design, which makes it easy to learn and use even without a strong technical background, and it has a drag-and-drop interface, which makes everything so easy and straightforward. The error handling capabilities in complex automation tasks are powerful, as it handles all types of tasks, whether complex or simple. I've never faced any problems even when dealing with complex tasks, so everything is super smooth and highly reliable, even when dealing with big tasks, as it has never slowed down. Automate's compatibility with existing IT infrastructure has impacted our business operations positively by providing smooth integration with other software that we use, such as Gmail, Jira, and Microsoft 365 apps, which gives us a unified platform instead of having to keep switching from one software to another, saving a lot of time and streamlining the whole workflows. The automated analytics have helped improve our business processes since it has increased our efficiency by automating our everyday tasks, freeing up time for us to focus more on strategic activities such as analyzing data and developing new business strategies. It is also cost-saving. By minimizing manual labor, it decreases human errors that can lead to costly mistakes. By automating the tasks, it helps to save costs, and it also improves our accuracy by reducing these errors to ensure that tasks are done almost perfectly.

Suitable for a small-scale business but not evolved enough for a large enterprise
The best thing with that Jacada is that they are a repository builder, which we use for our assessment to gauge and match screens. Jacada has evolved, but I'm not using the latest version. Technically we use our internal product more, which is iAutomate. We also use UiPath and Automation Anywhere…

Significantly reduces manual effort and improves team workflows through automated ticketing
We've used Agent Builder, IXP, and Maestro for orchestration. We have created context-grounded searches or chatbots using context grounding, and we also use context grounding within an Agentic flow where a bot or agent reads ServiceNow tickets to determine whether it has been assigned to the right work group. If it has not been assigned correctly due to human error, it automatically reassigns it to the right group. I would assess Agentic AI's ability to extract data points as effective. We created an agent for the purpose of extracting data, though not in a document. We created what we call an email conversation agent that engages with a customer, vendor, or someone in an email conversation with a set goal of extracting specific data points for an action to be performed subsequently. The one automation we have deployed in production involves the agent interacting with team members to collect data points and create a ServiceNow ticket. We appreciate almost all features of UiPath Platform, with one of the most successful ones being the use of Coms Mining. Most of the new features related to AI have all been good, and we use Agentic. We have already created a few agents and have started to use Maestro for a few flows, though we are not yet there to orchestrate an end-to-end workflow. We have good ROI from the automations we have developed with UiPath Platform, which far exceeds the investment in the platform. It has saved us tens of thousands of hours in manual effort, making the team members happy to pursue other things of value.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The peace of mind I have using Automate for scheduling tasks allows me to focus on other responsibilities without worrying about operational issues."
"I would recommend Automate because it has made my work much easier."
"The most valuable feature is the drag-and-drop interface, which is very Windows-like."
"It gives us a central place to schedule tasks and run them distributed."
"The feature I prefer most about Fortra's Automate is that it offers no-code or low-code automation, which is essential for me as a cybersecurity analyst because we do not have time to code and automate everything."
"Fortra's Automate performs the job effectively and has the capability to alert us of any issues."
"The automated analytics have helped improve our business processes since it has increased our efficiency by automating our everyday tasks, freeing up time for us to focus more on strategic activities such as analyzing data and developing new business strategies."
"I like the interface; it makes managing automation easy. We can set different schedules and templates for each task."
"The initial setup was fairly straightforward."
"I have seen time saved and value from using UiPath Platform so far; we have 800 people saved now with using UiPath Platform in terms of FTEs, and that is per year, the time I am saving with UiPath Platform."
"I like the document understanding feature. It gives us more accuracy."
"The tremendous benefit comes from how these features of UiPath Platform have benefited our organization, as we have implemented close to 100 automation for our finance teams, supply chain teams, IT teams, and even some for HR."
"The features that are most valuable are Excel Automation, Web Automation, Web Scrapping, and CV Automation."
"I would rate UiPath a nine out of ten."
"The initial setup is straightforward. There is a lot of guidance in the configuration and actual setup. It feels like installing Windows. It's simple compared to other solutions which tend to be a bit more complex."
"UiPath's learning modules have been a massive help in training our employees. The Orchestrator also helps us schedule, deploy, and monitor jobs."
"We reduced our onboarding time for new developers from one to three days of the ticket closing to within the hour, 30 minutes."
 

Cons

"I would like the updates to be easier to deploy. Integration with Amazon S3 is somewhat lacking."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and easier to navigate."
"There is a lack of good development for artificial intelligence, such as machine learning."
"One aspect I dislike about Fortra's Automate is that debugging slows me down."
"I find that most important features are strong, however, there is a lack of good development for artificial intelligence, such as machine learning."
"It's possible that they could use a stronger community for seeking guidance and help."
"There are newer AWS services such as Lambda or Security Hub that security analysts use to detect malicious traffic or alerts, but the integration is not available for these, so we still rely on custom scripting because there are no options for drag-and-drop with these newer services."
"They do not encrypt passwords, so this is an issue with HIPAA compliance."
"They need to create a workflow system."
"I don't see everything, so it's hard for me to pinpoint something specific that they don't have on their roadmap."
"The OCR technology needs improvement, particularly for reading invoices, especially scanned invoices."
"To improve UiPath Platform, I would really want to see improvements on Action Center in customization on how it's laid out."
"Some of the releases have been a little shaky."
"UiPath fails jobs sometimes and doesn't give you direct instructions on why it failed. A little more insight into failed jobs would be beneficial. It should have more documentation and short training modules."
"UiPath can improve its AS center region by expanding its reach and addressing technical difficulties in certain areas."
"Training materials should include behind-the-scenes information such as what goes on underneath the infrastructure and how components interact with each other."
"There is a need for more integrations with external technologies like OpenAI, Gemini, SAP, Bedrock, BambooHR, etc. While UiPath currently has major integrations, as new software is adopted by customers, it would be beneficial if UiPath adds more integrations. They do allow building custom connectors, but having a comprehensive integration library would be beneficial."
 

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."
"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."
"It comes with a package that costs approximately $20,000 USD per year."
"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 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."
"The cost is a bit high for a small business like ours, but we manage with Fortra's Automate."
"I'm only involved in running the product and maintaining the systems, so I can't speak to the cost."
"It has gone up in price. The price of Fortra's Automate has increased since we first started using it. It does a lot but also costs a lot. It was a lot more affordable before Fortra owned the software."
Information not available
"The price of both UiPath and Automation Anywhere is high. The basic package is included in the price, but in case you require any professional or golden package, you have to pay a higher price."
"The price of UiPath Platform in the Middle East region is a little bit high; having a lower price for the Middle East region would make it more attractive."
"In the RPA industry at the moment and in automation in general, UiPath's pricing model is the most consistent. So, if you are looking at year-on-year growth and pricing, or even if you are comparing solutions, each vendor has their own take on how they are going to generate profits and expand their return on investment. By far, UiPath is the most consistent with their pricing. They make it quite clear what they set out to achieve with their pricing and product. That makes their product so much easier to design for, as you don't need to change your pricing and go back to clients every time that you introduce a new aspect into the solution."
"The licensing is close to optimum; however, there is room for improvement in both the cost and flexibility of the licenses."
"We would like to see improvement on the ROI, as we need to free up resources. Too many man-hours are being spent on trivial tasks which could be automated."
"I can estimate our licensing costs are approximately $100,000 USD per year."
"It is one of those things where you pay for convenience. Pricing-wise, UiPath is definitely way more expensive than other solutions that we have seen, especially since we also have Microsoft Power Automate, which is one of the latest tools. UiPath is on the higher end, but it is one of those decisions, "Is it worth the investment? How much are you getting as an ROI?" That is usually how the conversation goes."
"The main thing that could be improved is the cost. I have worked with other tools and the licensing cost of UiPath is slightly higher than the others."
