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.
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.
Sumedin Bilalic - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Fortra's Automate performs the job effectively and has the capability to alert us of any issues."
"It's very easy to use. That's a big selling point for it. It has got a drag-and-drop interface, so you can quickly deploy bots."
"The most valuable features for my client are timing and scheduling."
"The solution is continuously adding more integrations to help with workflows and bot and task creation."
"I would recommend Automate because it has made my work much easier."
"The interface is simple, user-friendly, and very intuitive."
"The licensing of the product is very good. You only need to license it once and then you have it forever."
"The most valuable feature is the drag-and-drop interface, which is very Windows-like."
"The most valuable feature is the price."
"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 solution is user-friendly with a really good UI and ID."
"The product's setup is straightforward."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 solution is based on Python which makes it very valuable."
"The price is good."
"I can use it as a library by importing Python scripts, allowing me to access its many features while working with coding."
"I like the fact that it's very fast. The processing speed is good, and that's what matters to me. I also like that we don't have to bother with the infrastructure setup. We don't have to care about the status of the data set, as I believe the local group will provide it. We don't care about the licensing model. We only have to care about how long we are using it."
"The product has a valuable business process automation feature."
 

Cons

"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."
"The documentation for errors needs improvement as many of the error messages we receive are very vague."
"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."
"Some companies have asked for voice integration. This is likely part of the roadmap."
"Fortra's Automate is not as reliable as I would like it to be."
"I currently have three bugs open with them that I don't know if they are addressed in the new release."
"The solution has a very weak knowledge base."
"There is a lack of good development for artificial intelligence, such as machine learning."
"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."
"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."
"I think that this solution could improve remote desktop interactions."
"The pricing is an area with a shortcoming, and from an improvement perspective, it needs to be made cheaper."
"The solution needs to improve its stability."
"Its price could definitely be lower."
"An additional feature I'm looking for in Robocorp is SAP automation."
"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."
"They should fully develop Robocorp Studio because it would attract a lot of people to the Robocorp platform."
"I don't like the complexity of deployment."
"We would also like an integrated PDF reader and better integration with custom solutions. The built-in Excel customization is limited, but we can still accomplish what we want using Python. We must rely on Python to customize processes in Robocorp. I don't know about the latest IDE from Robocorp, but the old one doesn't have a lot of activities."
"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."
"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."
"The platform's documentation could be better."
 

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."
"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'm only involved in running the product and maintaining the systems, so I can't speak to the cost."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing a seven."
"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."
"I believe we had a Silver Membership or something similar annually."
"It's very affordable and the licensing is billed on a yearly basis."
"I give the price an eight out of ten."
"Robocorp is much better in terms of pricing compared to UiPath."
"You don't have to pay for the license. You have to pay for the time you use it."
"The product has good pricing."
"In terms of licenses, there is a return on investment in that area."
"The solution is a very affordable price."
"The pricing is fine."
"It's a cost-effective solution."
"The price is cheaper than other competitors. I would rate the cost as one out of five."
