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

"I would rate the technical support as a nine out of ten because it is quite fast and courteous."

"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."

"The pricing is excellent. I would give them perfect marks in that regard."

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

"The best feature of Automate is its ease of use, which is a major selling point."

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

"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."

More Automate pros

"The automation on offer is great."

"There are simple things you can put in place that help you understand workflow and how implementation acts."

"Blue Prism currently supports SQL Servers and structured data."

"It is a very stable tool that allows very complex automations."

"Access to the SQL database allows for extra capabilities."

"Its ability to talk to different systems that we have is a valuable feature. We use Pega, which is like a credit card processing system. We also use a Debit Process Manager, which is like the Visa debit application. In the bank, we have credit card and debit card sections, and we need to kind of investigate some of the transactions when customers are complaining about the charges. Blue Prism can log in to a different system to perform the exact actions that the agents are doing. This feature has been very helpful. Its ability to engage with external systems and websites is also very valuable. Each of our RPA projects could go across different systems. We have an in-house banking system. We also use the Visa network, and we have to go to different sites to do a lot of data scraping to ensure the data in our system matches the data in the Visa systems, and we just deal with some of the charges."

"The multi-bot architecture is very flexible."

"Blue Prism has a lot of flexibility to integrate with other enterprise applications"

More Blue Prism pros

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

"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."

"The cost is the best thing about ElectroNeek."

"The product's setup is straightforward."

"The most valuable feature is the price."

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

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

More ElectroNeek pros

Cons

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

"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."

"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."

"The workflow for variables could be better. The input and output of task-level variables could be made a little clearer in terms of passing those around from one task to another upon success, etc. Things like that could be a little easier potentially."

"It's possible that they could use a stronger community for seeking guidance and help."

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

"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."

"The interface could be more user-friendly and easier to navigate."

More Automate cons

"I would like to see wider integration with other products."

"They have OCR technology, but it's not that great."

"The control room is still the desktop version, which restricts access. You can't really access it from anywhere."

"We had a lot of challenges managing authentication and reusing or using external authentication providers."

"The deployment of the bots should be much faster and more intuitive."

"I would like to see bespoke dashboards allow the front-end to display what is required."

"We would like to see intelligent process automation that integrates RPA and machine learning."

"The activities that we do are a bit difficult to do in Blue Prism as compared to UiPath. UiPath provides create activities and create packages related to AI analytical skills. This is something that Blue Prism doesn't have."

More Blue Prism cons

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

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

"The solution needs to improve its stability."

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

"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."

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

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

"I think that this solution could improve remote desktop interactions."

More ElectroNeek cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It comes with a package that costs approximately $20,000 USD per year."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

More Automate pricing and cost advice

"The solution is expensive."

"The tool’s licensing is on a monthly basis."

"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."

"The billing is on a yearly basis. They send us the bill every year. My business unit is billed by the technology team, so I don't know exactly how much they pay. In my business unit, we have our first-year license costs, and then we have our ongoing costs. Our bots cost projected per license is $8,600. Our projected support cost for every year is about $38,000. Our operation agent costs anywhere between $50,000 to $55,000, so the saving is there, but it is still kind of expensive for us, but I'm looking at it from the technology kind of billing us for it. This is the cost that we have for our technology team, which is different from the licensing of Blue Prism."

"The price of Blue Prism is high compared to others solutions. It would be helpful if they could provide a trial version for new users to try. Other vendors provide a community or trial version. There are not any hidden costs."

"Other than your infrastructure, in terms of servers that you have to set up, I don't think that there are any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"Blue Prism is less expensive than some of the other RPA solutions."

"Blue Prism is a bit higher priced compared to other payment-related or investment-related solutions. At the same time, it also provides more security than those solutions, specifically for the banking and insurance sectors."

More Blue Prism pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

"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."

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