Featured Reviews

Anabel Marco - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
PrashanthR - PeerSpot reviewer
Great with recognition and provides a high level of confidence in terms of extraction capabilities
When it comes to machine print, this is an excellent solution with features you don't find in other tools. When dealing with handwritten text they have provided some A2iA locators that require a separate license. Even after implementing that, the handwritten text extraction was not great. Microsoft Azure does better at text extraction. If an organization is looking for OCR without the need to extract anything, then I would suggest a product such as Textract or another free software. If data extraction is needed for additional processes then I would recommend Kofax. I rate this solution eight out of 10
Amjed Al-Tayyan - PeerSpot reviewer
Automation streamlines onboarding and reduces the load on customer service agents
As the head of the division, I do not use UiPath myself. However, I am the decision-maker, so I review the features. The combination of both full-attended and half-attended automation, where you can automate tasks and still interact when required, is very useful. It provides efficiency by freeing staff from unnecessary tasks, resulting in a balanced workload and more productive use of an employee's time. The tool has a noticeable ROI, and the investment is worth every penny as it reduces tedious tasks and improves scalability. It is very easy to use. During the COVID lockdown, my son who was 11 at the time attended a UiPath and Automation Anywhere training with me. He has already automated his school tasks requiring saving data and uploading some documents to the portal. If a kid can do this, it shows how easy it is.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features for my client are timing and scheduling."
"I actually quite liked the no-coding functionality."
"We are still in the process of rolling it to production and tweaking it (our AD groups are a mess), but the improvements are priceless. Having users ID's created the same way every time without human error is the best part. We don't need to worry about why groups were not added, user rights not set to folders or missing a private folder being created, typos or just even knowing when things are done and logged."
"Overall, the whole product is really nice and provides significant benefits."
"The most valuable features of Fortra's Automate include its FTP functionality and file manipulation capabilities."
"Web scraping is quite good since it offers a lot of possibilities."
"The pricing is excellent. I would give them perfect marks in that regard."
"The interface is simple, user-friendly, and very intuitive."
"Kofax TotalAgility is stable."
"Its integration capabilities are valuable. It has low code/no code features. You have to do minimal coding."
"One feature I like is that it makes the matrix easy for an unstructured document."
"It's a growing tool that offers a complete package of BPM, case management, and capture capabilities."
"What I find most valuable in Kofax TotalAgility is its OCR feature. I also find its workflow and business process management capabilities valuable. Kofax TotalAgility also has good integration with other solutions and has an API call feature."
"Data extraction and auto-classification are great features."
"The tool is low code which saves you from a developer."
"Essentially, Kofax TotalAgility as a whole is quite nice. As of now, we've only been able to use and explore its document classification and extraction capabilities. We haven't explored and used the case management capability yet, but the scan and capture capabilities we've been using heavily and those are quite good. Our solutions are mainly around those areas of Kofax TotalAgility. We haven't explored the product a lot, but the capabilities we've explored are good."
"I appreciate UiPath's ability to automate complex processes. It's the best thing. The Action Center, Document Understanding, AI Center, and all the other components of UI Path are also good. I prefer UiPath over other automation tools."
"UiPath's most valuable features are the UI library and object repository, which speed up the development."
"The user-friendly interface allows users to visually plan and design various automation processes through it."
"UiPath's OCR enables data processing of handwriting, which in turn allows us to automate elements of the billing process from incoming customer checks, which is a fantastic feature for us."
"UiPath's learning modules have been a massive help in training our employees. The Orchestrator also helps us schedule, deploy, and monitor jobs."
"Orchestrator contains a lot of useful apps, data services, and machine templates. From a usability perspective, the most valuable aspects are its custom activities, libraries, and object repositories. In terms of integration, I like the ability to use APIs and call automations from UiPath apps. The most valuable feature from a human-in-the-loop perspective is the action center."
"I like the automation capabilities."
"My organization has been pretty happy with the amount of scalability that it has provided. One bot can literally run multiple processes and process millions of records."
 

Cons

"It's possible that they could use a stronger community for seeking guidance and help."
"Sometimes when we communicate with the ERP system and there is an issue, we are not always aware of the specifics of Automate and the source of the problem."
"Fortra's Automate is not as reliable as I would like it to be."
"The vendor is currently working on a solution that allows us to automatically create a process that is based on a document that we receive via email."
"I would prefer not having to log in to update a ticket; being able to respond via email would be beneficial."
"I would like the updates to be easier to deploy. Integration with Amazon S3 is somewhat lacking."
"There is a lack of good development for artificial intelligence, such as machine learning."
"The product also has a limited use case in some respects."
"Kofax needs to improve the low-code or citizen developers."
"It would be nice if the tool has more connectors to different systems. It is an expensive solution."
"Room for improvement would be better OCR functionality in terms of Arabic OCR. There should be better accuracy."
"Table line item extraction is not possible through Quick Capture."
"There needs to be more accessible certification and better pricing."
"Sometimes there isn't enough accuracy when it comes to extracts."
"Kofax TotalAgility could improve the OTR engine. The page OTR engine is not accurate in predicting the data properly. If you provide many features which are good for business process management without an accurate OTR engine people will not want it."
"It’s not truly low code yet, as every two or three projects, you will have a situation where you have to go behind the essential things. You will definitely still need to customize."
"Unfortunately, I used to be a lover of their Slack channel and people don't seem so responsive there anymore."
"The on-prem orchestrator was an issue for us."
"UiPath would be improved by integrating AI."
"The first area that needs improvement is backward compatibility."
"I would like better stability and possibly some tools to determine why robots are failing."
"UiPath does not have a delivery product."
"We'd like the upgrades to be a bit easier and more flexible."
"UiPath could do some optimization of how you search through your process flows."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I like the way this solution is priced because you can buy a license, or you can buy the software outright."
"From a distributor's perspective, one of the biggest selling points of Automate is its price point."
"Compared to other products, the pricing model for this solution is much more convenient, flexible, and adaptable to the Portuguese reality."
"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."
"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."
"The licensing cost for Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive, though I'm unable to give you the range, the sales representatives of my company say that the product is quite expensive."
"Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive."
"It is slightly more expensive than other tools."
"It has a perpetual license. You pay once in a lifetime for the volume of scans you will do and the number of users you will have. You can have participants or regular users, and you can have developers and administrators. So, once you purchase it, it is for a lifetime, and then every year, you have to pay for the maintenance. There is an annual maintenance cost, which is about 18% of the licensing cost."
"The price of this solution is less than some of the competition."
"The community edition is completely free. Then, people say, "There is nothing to lose, let me try it.""
"The cost of the software was around $10,000."
"The price of the Enterprise version is high, and the licensing is very complex. For small businesses like ours, licensing is a very complex task and takes too much time."
"The product is not the cheapest."
"Initially, it maybe was $8,000 or $10,000. However, as the number of bots increases, the pricing has to come down. That said, with volume, we don't see that."
"Different licenses are used to activate features that the organization wants to use. For example, they offer licenses for UiPath Studio X, attended automation, unattended automation, document understanding, and so forth."
"UiPath has several modules that we would like to use. They will enhance our installation, but they are very costly."
"The UiPath license is expensive."
