Easy to use and clear documentation with notes explaining each step available
Areas, where I see some room for improvement would be the use of reading details from an Excel file. Most of the time, it's difficult when I say looping through a huge data set, and it's very difficult for the bot to interact with those data sets unless it starts offering the Excel file. As of today, from the reports I've worked with, I noticed that most reports are empty columns and two rows. So if Kryon can associate with that and extract those deposits into a variable, and the tools can easily fit out to column dash and two rows and columns, it will be nice. But as of today, the bot doesn't have the functionality to detect variables. We have to do it on the Excel file itself. I also noticed that when it comes to the use of bots, not everyone has the same knowledge, and it can be difficult to do certain research unless you have advanced knowledge of what you need to do. I also noticed that in the community, most people don't use it, and it's quite difficult when you need certain support.

Simplifies integrations and is suitable for large companies
Sometimes, when our company develops using the latest technology, the knowledge is not yet cycled down to the tool's support team. The tool's support team is not mature enough to handle the tool. The promotion of a feature before it is mature may cause issues, and I feel that sometimes the deployment of such features is a little too early. The tool will release a feature, but it will have bugs in it. We face challenges because the tool's team doesn't have the knowledge to deal with the issues in the product's new features. When SAP develops something, if the tool's team doesn't know how to support it, it becomes a problem because now we have to access developers to get the information that is not readily available.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Those 15,000 hours saved are a fantastic result and we're at a 99 percent success rate."
"Troubleshooting and debugging could be improved. It's missing a proper debugger. It's very difficult, based on the log files and the fact that it doesn't have a proper debugger, to troubleshoot issues. It will sometimes end with no indication as to why it ended and it becomes a bit of trial and error."
"It's very seamless to interact with Excel files and web app pages."
"The advanced Excel functionalities are really convenient because we work a lot with spreadsheets. It’s also easy to use the HTML selectors. It’s just a click and it picks it up. There’s not a lot of no hard-coding with it."
"Nintex RPA doesn't require much coding, and you can drag and drop the activities."
"The number of commands it gives us to edit and modify is really good. It also captures screen activities and plays them back."
"For the processes that we have automated, the efficiency has increased by 100 percent."
"What I like most about Kryon RPA is the user experience. I also find the layout and design of the solution better for programming compared to other RPA solutions."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it offers an integrated development environment."
 

Cons

"Often, it's difficult to loop through a large data set unless the bot has access to the Excel file with specific settings and shortcodes."
"The process discovery tool of Kryon RPA could be improved because of its limitations."
"We use Google Drive a lot. If somebody sends us a spreadsheet or a document, it's going to be in Google’s format. It's not going to be in Microsoft Office format. But currently, there's no integration with Google’s documents. That would be a huge plus to have."
"I have seen some very minor occurrences where Kryon's interactions with Microsoft Office might cause the robot to hang. However, it is about one to two percent of the time where we are seeing this happen. It is such a small percentage that it's not even something that we are overly worried about. This would be where they might have some stability issues, but it could be the Microsoft Office API or how they are interacting together."
"Troubleshooting and debugging could be improved. It's missing a proper debugger."
"At first, we had problems with the object detection but in this latest release it has been better, and I think it keeps getting better."
"We have found some difficulties regarding the integration with legacy systems where the screen has elements in the Hebrew language. The connection to Hebrew, right-to-left systems, is more challenging."
"There are limitations on integrations with other platforms like ServiceNow. There are some issues integrating. It's not a really an open system. The product, its design, etc., is really good, but they have to look at the openness, how to integrate with other products which are available in the market, as well as with our own solutions. You can do integration but it is not so easy."
"The tool's support team is not mature enough to handle the tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing costs are about $100,000 a year without any additional costs."
"Kryon is slightly more expensive compared to UiPath."
"We are probably saving $6000 to $8000 a month in labor costs. It's not a ton, but we're right around $60,000 to $80,000 a year with our current deployment."
"Can't beat the price... There are different pricing levels for every bot or unattended bot. You can buy however many you want. You'll need an additional virtual machine for it to work on."
"We've more than broken even over on the license. Year to date, we are at $120,000 in savings."
"We have been able to alleviate two FTEs, which was a big savings for us. We were able to reuse those resources in other locations. It is over 5000 hours a year in total savings."
"It is very cheap. I would rate the pricing a three out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"The price is affordable."
"The product is not cheaply priced."
