Find out what your peers are saying about UiPath, Microsoft, Automation Anywhere and others in Robotic Process Automation (RPA)."We have found the pricing to be very reasonable."
"I like the interface; it makes managing automation easy. We can set different schedules and templates for each task."
"It gives us a central place to schedule tasks and run them distributed."
"We have tried other RPA solutions like UiPath or Automation Anywhere. They are fantastic products but complex, and it's hard to understand everything. It would be best if you had a skilled developer or several. Automate is easy to implement, administer, and use. It's appropriate for us because our cases are simple and easy to automate. We don't need complicated tools with many features; We prefer to get a significant ROI quickly."
"The licensing of the product is very good. You only need to license it once and then you have it forever."
"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 pricing is excellent. I would give them perfect marks in that regard."
"The ability to connect to websites and pull data is the solution's most valuable feature."
"It has helped us a lot, especially during the initial phase of a project where most of the things are done on paper."
"We were able to meet all of the requirements for functionality that were specified, and we did not experience challenges where we had to compromise on functionality."
"The integration capabilities have been very useful."
"It is very easy to use."
"Allows us to provide desktop/laptop and mobile solutions to our users."
"Valuable features include workflows (escalation, reminder, LazyApproval, actions, etc.) and ease of use."
"This solution is very easy to use and customize, using almost zero coding. It's built on SharePoint which many companies in our country have experience with. This made it easy to adapt the application in our environment."
"Provides the ability to automate SharePoint processes (building sites, lists, updating content). You can also automate document and content processes, onboarding and offboarding, and general IT and HR solutions."
"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 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."
"The documentation for errors needs improvement as many of the error messages we receive are very vague."
"The OCR for Hebrew text needs to be improved."
"It's possible that they could use a stronger community for seeking guidance and help."
"I believe we need to test various OCR tools that assist in evaluating, let's say, six different customer resyncs. We analyze their spending patterns and documentations, but current OCR support has limitations, requiring highly standardized documents, which isn't always the case. With a more advanced OCR system, we could improve processes related to credit risk management and legal matters. We're exploring how to integrate Fortra's Automate with our CRM platform, taking cues from instances where Salesforce seamlessly merged with Automate. However, we use a different CRM, Insight for New Enterprise, and we're seeking ways to connect the automation process within our CRM. We aim for the automation to continue smoothly, even in instances where traditional automation methods might face hurdles."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and easier to navigate."
"The solution has a very weak knowledge base."
"The licensing needs to be improved. Right now, we find it's getting more expensive to use the product."
"Nintex seems to be very server intensive. It is one of the reasons that we are moving to a different product on the SharePoint 2016 platform."
"We would like to have access to an on-premises solution. In our country, we have a relationship with Central Bank of Egypt, which do noes not allow cloud solutions to be used. They should offer an on-prem solution with a flexible price license."
"The cost of the solution is high and has room for improvement."
"Currently, it's taking quite some time to deploy a package, it needs improvement"
"There have been some glitches, and the workflow fails frequently."
"We are currently facing a lot of issues with Nintex, and we are trying to move away from this solution."
"It is very flexible because you can design your own main forms, but if there were some templates according to your market, it would be more useful for a new customer. That would make K2 more user friendly and easier to use."
