Find out what your peers are saying about UiPath, Microsoft, Automation Anywhere and others in Robotic Process Automation (RPA)."I like the interface; it makes managing automation easy. We can set different schedules and templates for each task."
"We have found the pricing to be very reasonable."
"The licensing of the product is very good. You only need to license it once and then you have it forever."
"A great feature that you seldom see in these kind of systems is the ability to use a database as trigger to launch a task. This is something I asked for a few years ago and that was added."
"The most valuable feature is the drag-and-drop interface, which is very Windows-like."
"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."
"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."
"This tool has machine learning and voice recognition and computer vision, which are both quite useful aspects. These aren't available in other tools. It's a good addition to this tool and it gives the solution an edge on the market."
"The application integration will give you more flexibility when dealing with APIs."
"The OAuth feature is the most valuable feature for authentication."
"The interface has a great look and feel, and the functionality is so easy."
"The interface is really good."
"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."
"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."
"We really need a free development environment for customers. Building and testing automation on production isn't ideal."
"Some companies have asked for voice integration. This is likely part of the roadmap."
"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."
"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."
"They do not encrypt passwords, so this is an issue with HIPAA compliance."
"The pricing model is problematic."
"The setup is complex."
"There's no direct way to connect to Amazon APIs from Informatica Cloud."
"There could be a lot more application integration."
