Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It gives us a central place to schedule tasks and run them distributed.""We have found the pricing to be very reasonable.""The most valuable features for my client are timing and scheduling.""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 best feature of Automate is its ease of use, which is a major selling point.""The licensing of the product is very good. You only need to license it once and then you have it forever.""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.""Fortra's Automate performs the job effectively and has the capability to alert us of any issues."

"the security level is very high. After we tested it and checked all the security aspects of the product, we found that it's highly secure.""It's easy to use over the web. A user who is not in the office can use it and securely insert files.""If you want a very flexible system that you can easily integrate, and develop interfaces for it or plug-ins to other application environments, it's probably the most flexible""Safe-T is very good for users because it has plug-in for Outlook."

Cons
"The solution has a very weak knowledge base.""I would like to see some better web automation, a wizard like the one in the product WinAutomation would be very nice.""The documentation is not that great.""Some companies have asked for voice integration. This is likely part of the roadmap.""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 interface could be more user-friendly and easier to navigate.""The technical support could be better. We suffer from language barriers, as we are in Argentina.""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."

"One important thing that we haven't found in this product is the ability to provide a read-only view for documents. Also, the ability for the customer to add annotations to these documents.""The Outlook agent is not working well for installing it in the entire office."

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."
