Find out what your peers are saying about UiPath, Microsoft, Automation Anywhere and others in Robotic Process Automation (RPA)."The most valuable features for my client are timing and scheduling."
"The licensing of the product is very good. You only need to license it once and then you have it forever."
"The most valuable feature is the drag-and-drop interface, which is very Windows-like."
"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."
"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."
"It gives us a central place to schedule tasks and run them distributed."
"I like the interface; it makes managing automation easy. We can set different schedules and templates for each task."
"The solution is continuously adding more integrations to help with workflows and bot and task creation."
"It's easy to configure your set of rules to make the form controls work perfectly, removing manual work and making processes seamless."
"The Vizio-style designer that runs in the browser is, to me, by far the most valuable feature of the solution. It means that the customer doesn’t have to install any client tools to create powerful workflows."
"Out of box connectivity with UiPath."
"The integration capabilities have been very useful."
"Only Nintex has the feature which allows attachments to an email."
"This tool is really helpful in reducing a lot of manual work. Its drag and drop components help to create a workflow faster than SharePoint Workflow Designer."
"It has helped us a lot, especially during the initial phase of a project where most of the things are done on paper."
"It is very easy to create and deploy. I am very happy with how user-friendly Nintex Workflow is."
"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 technical support could be better. We suffer from language barriers, as we are in Argentina."
"Fortra's Automate is not as reliable as I would like it to be."
"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."
"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 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."
"The solution has a very weak knowledge base."
"They do not encrypt passwords, so this is an issue with HIPAA compliance."
"Currently, copying workflow actions from one workflow to another is not possible. Also, the Office 365 solution is not as mature as on-premise."
"Bring all features available from the on-premise product into the cloud version and the workflow error reporting."
"The license pricing is too high currently for Nintex Workflow."
"We are currently facing a lot of issues with Nintex, and we are trying to move away from this solution."
"It's very tedious to manage."
"The interface could be better and more language support is needed in the development environment or in the solutions platform in general."
"Heavy, cumbersome and inflexible."
"Built-in reporting on-prem is limited and clunky at best."
