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.
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.
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."
"The ability to connect to websites and pull data is the solution's most valuable feature."
"I would recommend Automate because it has made my work much easier."
"The product effectively handles all the tasks we require."
"This product is quite easy to install, learn, and use, with our new employees being able to start using it in projects for clients after only two weeks of internal training."
"The best feature of Automate is its ease of use, which is a major selling point."
"I like the interface; it makes managing automation easy. We can set different schedules and templates for each task."
"Fortra's Automate has effectively replaced the workload of an entire employee, saving us significant time and money."
"The most valuable feature is the price."
"My favorite feature is that you can have unlimited bots without having to buy more licenses. That's a powerful option for scalability."
"The product's setup is straightforward."
"The cost is the best thing about ElectroNeek."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"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 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."
"I like Orchestrator and how easy it is to manipulate and get your data, to see what's going on."
"It is a very easy and stable product."
"For beginners, UiPath is a very low-code or no-code experience. They can get started with StudioX."
"If you know Python and any other programming language, writing custom scripts is simple. Other solutions like Robocop and Power Automate have less flexibility in the scripting languages you can use."
"The most valuable feature of unattended robots is that they are always available."
"UiPath has helped reduce human error."
"A key feature of this solution is its built-in VM orchestration capabilities, allowing us to manage virtual machines without additional setup."
"It should be less focused on the howtos and more on demonstrating business value add. A business outcome should be that I was able to approve something in however many days or hours compared to my peers when I benchmark across my peers. That would be a business outcome as opposed to a technical outcome,"
 

Cons

"Some companies have asked for voice integration. This is likely part of the roadmap."
"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."
"Some challenges include the system being too loaded or delayed in taking instructions and responding quickly as needed."
"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."
"I find that most important features are strong, however, there is a lack of good development for artificial intelligence, such as machine learning."
"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."
"I currently have three bugs open with them that I don't know if they are addressed in the new release."
"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."
"The integrating capability of the product needs to be improved, to ensure that it works with all systems involved in a process."
"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 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."
"I think that this solution could improve remote desktop interactions."
"ElectroNeek comes with three activities and we cannot add activities like we can with uiPADs."
"Its price could definitely be lower."
"There are some limitations like the UiPath Executor becoming stuck when running 10GB text files, which is something that really needs to be fixed."
"The main disadvantage that I have identified in the Document Understanding is in table extraction. If the table size is large and goes to the next page, we are unable to extract it with Document Understanding. I hear that there is a solution for that but I have to find it."
"UiPath Insights needs improvement. It's been almost five months since we got it, and I'm yet to see a business impact dashboard, which was the selling point. Trying to get Insights support has been really tricky. The documentation that's out there is not detailed enough, and it doesn't really tell you how to make it happen. I've paid for a product for five months that I still can't present to my senior leadership."
"While not a negative remark toward UiPath itself, our initial partner was limited in helping us achieve our goals. We are now directly working with UiPath support, which has been exceptional."
"One way to improve the UiPath Academy, I think, would be to add some real life use cases and take the students through the automation process. These would be good for citizen developers to start with."
"I've submitted feedback to UiPath, including a suggestion to improve the slow mainframe connection currently limited to a 300ms timeout."
"RPA is always good, and UiPath's Document Understanding is interesting. We used the old model, but the new modern Document Understanding is much easier."
"AI can become more intelligent to facilitate the ease of automation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Once you buy the software, you just pay for the support for backend help."
"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 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."
"I like the way this solution is priced because you can buy a license, or you can buy the software outright."
"Compared to other products, the pricing model for this solution is much more convenient, flexible, and adaptable to the Portuguese reality."
"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."
"It comes with a package that costs approximately $20,000 USD per year."
"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."
"It's very affordable and the licensing is billed on a yearly basis."
"I give the price an eight out of ten."
"UiPath is starting to price itself out of the market. It's getting expensive. That's fine if they continue to push the envelope of what they offer, but it's all about perception. And the perception over the last two years with my customers is that it's expensive."
"It is pricey at the beginning, but we'll have to see going forward what we get for the tools. It is always expensive to buy a really nice car and not drive it very far and very much. So, it is about utilization."
"It is quite an expensive solution."
"UiPath's pricing is expensive but reasonable for the quality of service that it provides."
"If you purchase an Orchestrator then it's pricey but you receive the benefit that it runs many processes simultaneously."
"Orchestrator should have better scalability with a better payment model in terms of number of processes that you want to use. Instead, you have one product which covers this size with this fixed price. You're getting a box of options, but you can't really scale it."
"It is a bit expensive, but it is cheaper than Blue Prism. We have six robots in total. There are no other costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"It is not oversold. It does do what it was advertised to do."
