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.

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

"I find the ease of use from a programming perspective very valuable."

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

"We have tried other RPA solutions like UiPath or Automation Anywhere. They are fantastic products but complex, and it's hard to understand everything. It would be best if you had a skilled developer or several. Automate is easy to implement, administer, and use. It's appropriate for us because our cases are simple and easy to automate. We don't need complicated tools with many features; We prefer to get a significant ROI quickly."

"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."

"It gives us a central place to schedule tasks and run them distributed."

"Fortra's Automate has effectively replaced the workload of an entire employee, saving us significant time and money."

"I like the interface; it makes managing automation easy. We can set different schedules and templates for each task."

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

More Automate pros

"The product is good functionality-wise. I am impressed with the tool's flexibility in customization."

"The community is very powerful, with extensive knowledge bases available."

"It has reduced the time taken to go to market. In the past, we were struggling with building these integrations, but now the process has sped up and there is an added advantage of quick delivery. In addition, it is an agent-less solution, which provides more flexibility in terms of multiple options."

"In my environment, if I want to shut down all tools in one shot, I can create a workflow and run the workflow to shut down all tools in one go."

"It's very stable. If you ask me for the success rate metrics, it's more than 90% for both."

"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."

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

"I have worked with UiPath and Automation Anywhere previously. Robocorp offers an improved development style and support as well as flexibility of its tools. You can easily develop custom libraries in Robocorp."

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

"The process execution and all features are very good."

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

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

"It's easy to deploy bots via the API helper in Control Room. Robocorp's debugging features are also robust. It shows you a lot of data."

More Robocorp pros

Cons

"While this solution is continually improving, as it is now, the user interface could use improvement when I compare it to a product like UiPath."

"Regarding customer support, I face challenges sometimes. They're not always available, and you may need to wait for assistance, but overall their support is acceptable."

"I would like the updates to be easier to deploy. Integration with Amazon S3 is somewhat lacking."

"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 is room for improvement regarding cloud functionality; there are a few missing features, and the logging could be better, especially air logging. We can go into logging events and create our own task, but it would be nice if this were more detailed."

"The documentation for errors needs improvement as many of the error messages we receive are very vague."

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

More Automate cons

"I would prefer the addition of ready-made workflows for common scenarios such as Oracle database switchovers or Exchange server scenarios."

"There were a lot of scalability issues that we initially faced. Whenever I tried to deploy 100-200 endpoints, it became a huge challenge. We had to actually start using other tools like Tivoli Endpoint Management in order to patch the issues."

"Only the tool's support can be a drawback where improvements are needed."

"The price is an area that should be addressed because the price is high."

"The tool's UI needs to be improved. It needs to have better administration features in future releases."

"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."

"I don't like the complexity of deployment."

"I preferred the user interface in the older versions. When troubleshooting, it's sometimes hard to find details about where things went wrong. You need to search a little harder. It takes more clicks to get to where you want to go. It can be somewhat confusing. When you run a process that fails, it takes you somewhere you may not expect."

"The solution could be more stable."

"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."

"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."

"They should fully develop Robocorp Studio because it would attract a lot of people to the Robocorp platform."

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

More Robocorp cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"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."

"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 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."

"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."

More Automate pricing and cost advice

"I do not have experience with the pricing or licensing of the product."

"The tool is expensive. I rate the tool a six if one is cheap and ten is very expensive."

"The cost is very high compared to anything else available."

"The solution is a very affordable price."

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

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

"The product has good pricing."

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

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

"The pricing is fine."

"It's a cost-effective solution."
