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.

Robotic Process Automation Manager at South African Reserve Bank

Effective automation boosts efficiency but requires improved co-management

There is a need for a co-management product to manage multiple developers using Blue Prism. Features like version control and supporting multiple developers at the same time should be improved. Furthermore, Blue Prism should invest in marketing their other products. I also find it concerning that they require purchasing support calls.

Ishmael Munyai

Robotics Process Automation (RPA) Developer at Apollo Studios

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

"Fortra's Automate performs the job effectively and has the capability to alert us of any issues."

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

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

"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."

"This tool has machine learning and voice recognition and computer vision, which are both quite useful aspects. These aren't available in other tools. It's a good addition to this tool and it gives the solution an edge on the market."

"Overall, the whole product is really nice and provides significant benefits."

"Compared to other vendors, it's the scheduling tool because a lot of vendors want to charge you extra for their enterprise-level license to have a scheduling tool built in to give you the ability to set up regular schedules to run and do certain data checks."

More Automate pros

"The development interface is quite easy to work with."

"It has a centrally managed infrastructure, and it is secure. Our client was using it because of its ease of use. They had already identified some workflows that were trained on Blue Prism RPAs. It was much more convenient for them to preselect Blue Prism as compared to other vendors."

"The tool's user interface is very intuitive."

"From technical perspective, Blue Prism is pretty good. Overall, it's a stable and scalable solution. Installation is straightforward as well."

"A feature I like about Blue Prism is the Control Room and how easy it is to find exceptions, to find common issues, and to troubleshoot your exceptions. Your Control Room person, without any development skills, can easily pick up what the problem is, with the exceptions, especially when there are a lot of exceptions related to one use case or process."

"The most valuable feature is that people with zero coding knowledge can use Blue Prism very well."

"For one, it's easy to set up, and once it gets running it can handle multiple processes in an efficient manner. It's a very robust system."

"The ease of development is the most valuable. Standard VBOs are pretty useful there with Excel and different things. Our custom developments for SAP and things like that are pretty easy to set up and quick to get going."

More Blue Prism pros

"We find the OCR feature very valuable, due to the corrector recognition that it provides; this is very useful for document processing."

"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."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."

"My favorite feature is that you can have unlimited bots without having to buy more licenses. That's a powerful option for scalability."

"The cost is the best thing about ElectroNeek."

"The most valuable feature is the price."

"ElectroNeek was extremely easy to use, especially its UI was easy to navigate with limited training."

"The product's setup is straightforward."

More ElectroNeek pros

Cons

"There is a lack of good development for artificial intelligence, such as machine learning."

"The technical support could be better. We suffer from language barriers, as we are in Argentina."

"The intelligent automation feature could be improved. It's interesting because it's simple, but the automation quality isn't always good. It's easy to use, but sometimes you need to make a slight improvement to the automation, and that's not so easy."

"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."

"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."

"I find that most important features are strong, however, there is a lack of good development for artificial intelligence, such as machine learning."

"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."

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

More Automate cons

"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see support for attended robots."

"Blue Prism is lagging in terms of artificial intelligence. There is no artificial intelligence in version 4 or 5, which most people are still using as far as I'm aware. To be fair, they do have AI in version 6. Still, it's lagging terribly. Blue Prism is the inventor of the name of the term "RPA," and it's disappointing to see they are sitting around... Cognitive learning, for example, where it can actually follow your movements on the screen, is not there in Blue Prism."

"The assisted automation functionality needs improvement."

"We would like to see some desktop automation, although we have been told that the product is not going to be taken in that direction."

"Emerging technologies adoption is a challenge for every organization, especially the products which address productivity/automation."

"The OCR capability, along with the connectivity with some of the legacy tools, needs to be improved."

"It's not very easy to use. There is some learning curve that you need to manage as an individual."

"The solution is not user-friendly. It has a very high learning curve."

More Blue Prism cons

"ElectroNeek comes with three activities and we cannot add activities like we can with uiPADs."

"Its price could definitely be lower."

"It's not applicable to very large enterprises and for difficult work or more complex processes."

"The solution works well with Google Chrome, but not with Microsoft Edge, which is the browser we use for automation."

"The integrating capability of the product needs to be improved, to ensure that it works with all systems involved in a process."

"The solution needs to improve its stability."

"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."

"The pricing is an area with a shortcoming, and from an improvement perspective, it needs to be made cheaper."

More ElectroNeek cons

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."

"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."

"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."

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

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

"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."

More Automate pricing and cost advice

"Blue Prism has a really simple licensing model, where the licenses are not confusing and there are no hidden costs the way there are in UiPath."

"The solution is enterprise software so we will try to maximize our usage during the available slots. We will get ROI with the high price since there will be some value added with automation. I think that after doing a cost-benefit analysis, we are on the positive side."

"Licensing is on a yearly basis."

"To use Blue Prism, there is a need to pay INR 15,000 per customer."

"We have a three-year contract that is paid on a yearly basis."

"With Blue Prism, there are no additional fees"

"I don't have an idea about Blue Prism, but I have an idea about UiPath. UiPath is scaling its business in different products. It has got products for intelligent document processing (IDP) to test or log integrations for chatbots. If you want to work on something like a true test automation, you have to buy a test book. In such cases, they have a predefined way of working with, implementing, or running things. This is where I see that UiPath might be a bit costly or expensive when compared to Blue Prism because UiPath charges for each and every product."

"It is expensive for us. It should be cheaper for a market like ours. We are based in India."

More Blue Prism pricing and cost advice

"It's very affordable and the licensing is billed on a yearly basis."

"I give the price an eight out of ten."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a seven."

"Its price could definitely be lower. Its licensing is on a yearly basis. There is no additional cost to the standard licensing fees."

"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."
