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.
Vatsal Mehta - PeerSpot reviewer
Accommodates diverse use cases and effectively meets customer requirements
AI agents need further improvements. AI agent technology in agentic process automation is still evolving. We have only scratched the surface, and there are many potential use cases yet to be explored. As technology advances, I believe it will enable us to implement more comprehensive automation solutions. Document Automation has issues related to speed. When I compare Document Automation with IQ Bot, IQ Bot is faster than Document Automation. My understanding is that they are still evolving Document Automation, and this issue of slowness will be resolved in the upcoming .35 version, so we are good with that. They are working on signature identification and validations for handwritten documents. Currently, we are able to extract data out of scanned but digital images, but there is still scope for improvement for handwritten documents.
Ishmael Munyai - PeerSpot reviewer
With an easy initial setup phase in place, the tool needs to provide functionalities like web scraping to users
It is a very scalable solution. In ElectroNeek, you can build your project in modular programming or with the use of sub-programs. You can have a lot of sub-programs that make up a whole project. If you don't wanna use the drag-and-drop activities, you can use JavaScript or Python instead. So it's very useful when you are working with things such as SPS. Actually, you can write scripts to support all the product functionalities with Python and manage the product's functions. You will find a company named Apollo Studios on the website of ElectroNeek. I think they are one of the best companies in South Africa that entered into a partnership with ElectroNeek.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 most valuable features for my client are timing and scheduling."
"The interface is simple, user-friendly, and very intuitive."
"The product effectively handles all the tasks we require."
"We use it for specific cases, mainly secure file transfers, which are vital for us. And it works for us."
"I find the ease of use from a programming perspective very valuable."
"A great feature that you seldom see in these kind of systems is the ability to use a database as trigger to launch a task. This is something I asked for a few years ago and that was added."
"By using SNMP configurations and Excel, I was able to read the mail. I used this functionality to categorize the fabric, then I used this information to correlate the value to Jira along with Excel."
"Automation Anywhere has lots of features, some of them are accuracy increases, time consumption reduced, scalability. Automation Anywhere does not require a strong knowledge of programming languages. The dashboard is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features are ease of use and deployment."
"It is easy to use and very scalable."
"It lets users add value with their time other than focusing on downloading Excel files, consolidating, and drawing up formulas. Since everything is structured, these easily are incorporated into the bot's work."
"The most valuable feature is the task bots because we found that cognitive functionality can be improvised."
"The OCR application is excellent and has helped resolve many issues that I had been facing."
"One of the most valuable features is object cloning, the ability to get into websites and do things faster."
"The most valuable feature is the price."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The product's setup is straightforward."
"The cost is the best thing about ElectroNeek."
"The drag and drop feature, which is no code, is very useful for me because I am not a technical person. It is very user-friendly."
"ElectroNeek was extremely easy to use, especially its UI was easy to navigate with limited training."
"We find the OCR feature very valuable, due to the corrector recognition that it provides; this is very useful for document processing."
"The solution is user-friendly with a really good UI and ID."
 

Cons

"I find that most important features are strong, however, there is a lack of good development for artificial intelligence, such as machine learning."
"It would be an improvement if Automate had better stability tools, whether by recommending a certain amount of memory because it can be a memory hog at times."
"I would like to see some better web automation, a wizard like the one in the product WinAutomation would be very nice."
"We really need a free development environment for customers. Building and testing automation on production isn't ideal."
"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."
"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."
"It's possible that they could use a stronger community for seeking guidance and help."
"I would like the updates to be easier to deploy. Integration with Amazon S3 is somewhat lacking."
"Automation Anywhere is a technical application. It is not so easy for a regular user. It requires technical knowledge."
"Queues are great but need improvement. They are helpful because most of the automations are transaction-based."
"Getting the bot design into the developer's hands is taking longer than we initially anticipated."
"The Insight feature could be improved. I don't think there's a lot of information about how to use Insight, so you have to try different scenarios to understand that feature better."
"Their license model needs to be improved. The biggest issue for me is that the license is tied to a person, and it is not something that I can pass if I want to use it for the first five hours and pass it on to you for the next five hours and so on. When we automate, the license is tied to me, and if you or somebody else needs to use that license, as a COE administrator, I need to transfer the license from person A to person B. This is something that I have always told them that should not be this way because you want to utilize your licenses effectively."
"Automation Anywhere's current requirement for upfront annual payments limits flexibility for customers."
"Copilot is an area with a lot of scope for improvement. It's the number one thing to improve."
"We would like to see more options for merging and un-merging PDFs. More flexibility there would be good. We've figured out ways around this and, using their software, we've been able to do everything we wanted to do. It just took a bit more time to do it. We were on version 10.5 and in their Bot Store they actually had a bot that did exactly what we wanted to do, but it was for Version 11.0."
"The solution works well with Google Chrome, but not with Microsoft Edge, which is the browser we use for automation."
"The pricing is an area with a shortcoming, and from an improvement perspective, it needs to be made cheaper."
"The integrating capability of the product needs to be improved, to ensure that it works with all systems involved in a process."
"I think that this solution could improve remote desktop interactions."
"When I wanted to use web scraping for tables in web applications, I found through online forums that such functionality or activity is currently not working as it shows."
"ElectroNeek comes with three activities and we cannot add activities like we can with uiPADs."
"Its price could definitely be lower."
"The solution needs to improve its stability."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Once you buy the software, you just pay for the support for backend help."
"It comes with a package that costs approximately $20,000 USD per year."
"Talk to your manager and try to procure an automation license for training. This will allow you to train people, so you can move to automation."
"The current pricing for Automation Anywhere seems a little higher compared to competitors Power Automate or UiPath. Automation Anywhere is perceived as pricey due to the support model charges ranging from 20% to 30% based on the plans."
"In terms of pricing, this is a good product."
"The licensing cost is approximately $4,000 USD, which is a seed license."
"Currently, it stands as one of the more expensive RPA tools available."
"Automation Anywhere is expensive."
"It's fine. However, I'm concerned with the credits in terms of the pricing for the AI models. It is understandable that the new ones are more expensive, but the base models, after doing the pricing conversion, cost about four to ten times as much as paying directly."
"Automation Anywhere's pricing falls within the mid-range, but the long-term benefits outweigh the initial investment."
"Its price could definitely be lower. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. There is no additional cost to the standard licensing fees."
"It's very affordable and the licensing is billed on a yearly basis."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a seven."
"I give the price an eight out of ten."
"I believe we had a Silver Membership or something similar annually."
"My company has made a payment towards the purchase of a license from ElectorNeek."
