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.

Maximizes document processing control with versatile OCR engines while anticipating needed auto-learning updates

The initial setup for new users may require some time, but the process is quick to learn, and the benefits are readily apparent. Kodak Info Input Solution offers significant versatility and control by allowing multiple OCR engines without needing knowledge-based models. This solution extends beyond invoices and procurement to handle various documents with extensive customization options. KODAK Info Input Solution does not require building knowledge-based models, unlike Ancora software. This flexibility and ease of use, especially in scenarios with simple invoice processing, make it a very useful tool. The extensibility and provision for customization, such as the ability to write JavaScript, increase its appeal.

Offers integration of the document extraction service into SAP ALC, enabling the direct upload and extraction of details

I found that SAP Intelligent RPA can be somewhat unstable when using SAP GUI. When we upgraded from SAP GUI version 7.50 to version 7.70, we had to update our SAP Intelligent RPA screens even though the screens were the same. This was difficult and time-consuming. The one I would like to see is in context with the screens, if they are using the same SAP UI, and if it updates, it should not be changed. At least it should be able to identify the screen. There should be more of an error, like a proper error feature, in future releases. Sometimes, we don't understand why that automation is not learning what, like, where it is stuck, what the reason is, or what the criteria we are missing to add. A proper error message would be helpful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 product effectively handles all the tasks we require."

"Automate increases efficiency and eliminates errors during documentation and invoicing processes."

"I actually quite liked the no-coding functionality."

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

"The best feature of Automate is its ease of use, which is a major selling point."

"The pricing is excellent. I would give them perfect marks in that regard."

"I would recommend Automate because it has made my work much easier."

More Automate pros

"The KODAK Info Input Solution collects data automatically, which saves time, unlike when someone has to enter data manually."

"I rate KODAK Info Input Solution a ten out of ten."

"The KODAK Info Input Solution offers fast workflows for extracting information from even the largest documents."

"I find the pricing of KODAK Info Input Solution to be friendly and affordable because before implementing the software in our company, our system manager discussed it with us and we found the pricing to be reasonable, which is why we recommended it."

"The most valuable feature of KODAK Info Input Solution is the open intelligence piece, the ability to consume five different OCR engines."

"The KODAK Info Input Solution's customer support is the best."

"The most valuable feature of SAP Contextor is that everyone is in one place in the program that I need."

"Most of the details are already in the help portal and SAP notes are available. It is well documented as part of the product support."

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

"The standout features of SAP Intelligent RPA are its flexibility and integration capabilities."

"Contextor is a good solution for a Citrix environment. It's the first with this tool. Other tools provide the same functionality, but not with the Citrix environment."

"It is remarkably easy to configure and code, and it doesn't require an extensive technical background or coding expertise."

"Scalability is fine. It is pretty nice."

"The initial setup of SAP Contextor is easy."

Cons

"Some companies have asked for voice integration. This is likely part of the roadmap."

"The product also has a limited use case in some respects."

"Some challenges include the system being too loaded or delayed in taking instructions and responding quickly as needed."

"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."

"The interface could be more user-friendly and easier to navigate."

"The documentation is not that great."

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

"I currently have three bugs open with them that I don't know if they are addressed in the new release."

More Automate cons

"The most significant area for improvement in the KODAK Info Input Solution is its ability to support custom definitions and auto-learn."

"The only area I think KODAK Info Input Solution could improve on is making their user interface more user-friendly and offering full customer customization of features."

"Integrating KODAK Info Input Solution with other software, such as Laserfiche, presents challenges due to inadequate documentation and an unintuitive web services interface."

"The most significant area for improvement in the KODAK Info Input Solution is its ability to support custom definitions and auto-learn."

"Integrating KODAK Info Input Solution with other software, such as Laserfiche, presents challenges due to inadequate documentation and an unintuitive web services interface."

"The KODAK Info Input Solution can improve its connection with scanners. It connects most effectively with Kodak's own scanners, specifically the S S S SMAX Scanners, while connections with other brands, such as Epson or HP, can take more time."

"I found that the SAP scripting of a program is easier than SAP Contextor."

"I would like to see a better capacity for unstructured data, for example, PDF, or text within images."

"There should be more of an error, like a proper error feature, in future releases. Sometimes, we don't understand why that automation is not learning what, like, where it is stuck, or what is the reason like, or what is the criteria we are missing to add. So a proper error message would be helpful."

"The initial setup is of medium complexity. It is neither too hard nor too simple. You need some background in SAP and an understanding of it."

"SAP Contextor could improve by automating some processes."

"The tool's licensing has been kind of a challenge...At the moment, the tool does not offer different licensing models to users."

"For potential features or improvements, one aspect I would suggest enhancing is the flexibility of the extraction process."

"One way SAP Intelligent RPA could improve is by integrating built-in DI services for document processing."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"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."

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

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

"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."

"Once you buy the software, you just pay for the support for backend help."

"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."

More Automate pricing and cost advice

"Although KODAK Info Input Solution's pricing is competitive within the industry's consumption-based model, its approach is overly complex."

"The pricing of KODAK Info Input Solution in Mexico is very expensive, and the government's purchasing process requires convincing many stakeholders."

"The initial cost might seem higher, but over time, with continued use over five or ten years, the cost tends to decrease, making it a more economical choice."

"This is not a tool or software with a license as others are. The SaaS model is based on the usage of the tool."

"It all comes with a bundle right now. Having advanced features, it is competitively priced."

"The pricing is not that expensive. It is manageable."
