Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Good email automation and XL automation.""The tool follows a role-based working model to create things. It helps to track what others are doing with the system.""The feature I like the most is the ability to capture elements easily, especially when automating web-based applications. Additionally, I find the SAP connectors to be quite beneficial.""AssistEdge made it so that the reps didn't need to maneuver through 10 or 20 different systems. We tied all that together in the background, so the reps had a shared UI, and everything else happened in the background without their knowledge. When they were retrieving data, it was done in the background through automation and pulling up to that generic UI layer""The user interface is not complicated, even for new users. Two to three weeks is enough to get ahold of it."

"Pega Robotic Process Automation's most valuable feature is that it is robust. Additionally, they have plenty of online documents that are good and Pega Academy is helpful, they are doing a great job. They give training on practical use cases. They take domain use cases, and they are great.""It is a scalable solution.""Pega is very mature. It's very old. They have grown with time, and they have learned. Other robotic process automation solutions are basically focused on only doing the automation, whereas Pega also gives you a workflow system so that you can create a workflow.""The most valuable features are the loops to lookup tables to read the data.""User-friendly, easy to understand and has many features including the ability to track.""The solution's automation handling capability has positively impacted the overall automation process in my experience.""If you want to make any kind of base automation, you can easily code exactly what you want.""Using the tool actually ends up teaching you about making workflows more efficient."

Cons
"In my opinion, areas for improvement in this solution lie in handling documentation, especially when dealing with data from various layouts or formats like scanned PDFs. Currently, new features are emerging in other tools, like generative AI, that could enhance these aspects.""The tool's alternatives work on drag-and-drop functionality without creating custom code. We don't have an in-built queue system and use RabbitMQ for it. The solution also doesn't have a framework.""Lacks integration with third party tools.""There should be more activities like extraction for reading or converting PDFs. There are fewer activities compared to other tools. There are no custom activities.""AssistEdge isn't a simple tool like Blue Prism or other RPA solutions with configurable items that you can drag and drop. This involved a lot of hard coding, which posed two challenges. One, we did not have that skillset, so we depended on Infosys. Two, it's a beast to go back and update or make changes when things are hard coded because you can't just move those configurable items back around."

"The orchestration needs to be better.""The way integration classes are created could be improved.""Rule versioning and deployment to enable parallel development could still be improved​""There have been some scenarios where the bot was not able to replace some of the controls and could not recognize and personalize the task we wanted to automate.""Pega has a no-code low-code environment. We do everything based on established rules. You kind-of have to learn how all their rules work and how it works for robotics before you can use the solution effectively.""I feel like it doesn't get updated frequently enough. There aren't a lot of new features or a clear roadmap for future improvements.""I would like to improve the tool's integration features and stability.""I would like to see an enhanced auditing feature included."
