Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Pattern recognition ultimately helps us to circumvent the problems in dealing with format variability in documents and allows us to capture the right data.""The automation provided by this solution has saved us a lot of time."

More AntWorks CMR+ Pros →

"It gives us a central place to schedule tasks and run them distributed.""The most valuable feature is the drag-and-drop interface, which is very Windows-like.""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.""I actually quite liked the no-coding functionality.""The most valuable features for my client are timing and scheduling.""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.""I find it very user-friendly. Our IT department and other departments can seamlessly collaborate without requiring extensive training. As a business department, we particularly value this aspect, as our team doesn't consist of many IT users. However, we couldn't solely rely on a drag-and-drop approach to implement and utilize the solution within our departments.""We use it for specific cases, mainly secure file transfers, which are vital for us. And it works for us."

Cons
"We would like to see the overall accuracy increase from approximately 70% to perhaps 85%.""It would be very helpful to have a simple and extensive training guide, or training model, to help learn how to work with the product."

More AntWorks CMR+ Cons →

"The documentation for errors needs improvement as many of the error messages we receive are very vague.""They do not encrypt passwords, so this is an issue with HIPAA compliance.""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.""The OCR for Hebrew text needs to be improved.""Sometimes when we communicate with the ERP system and there is an issue, we are not always aware of the specifics of Automate and the source of the problem.""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 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 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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing is really good, and it's based on usage."
  • More AntWorks CMR+ 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."
  • "I like the way this solution is priced because you can buy a license, or you can buy the software outright."
  • "It comes with a package that costs approximately $20,000 USD per year."
  • "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'm only involved in running the product and maintaining the systems, so I can't speak to the cost."
  • "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."
  • "From a distributor's perspective, one of the biggest selling points of Automate is its price point."
  • "The cost is a bit high for a small business like ours, but we manage with Fortra's Automate."
