Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to use. The workflow generation and application is intuitive and allows for a variety of process integrations.
  • I like its ability to centralize and efficiently organize documents. It offers advanced encryption, access control and change tracking options, which ensures the confidentiality and integrity of information. In addition, its ability to automate workflows, perform advanced searches and generate detailed reports helps us optimize document management and improve operational efficiency in our company.
  • For the most part, it is easy and intuitive to use. The online training is a huge bonus and has helped me figure out how to do many things.
  • Square 9 offers powerful document capture and workflow automation tools. It's highly customizable and integrates well with other business systems.
  • We are really enjoying using Global search to rid ourselves of paper files. We also use Global Search to automate the AR process for our online payments system. The document capture workflows are very easy to set up with no programming at all in a drag and drop web browser interface. The software is constantly being updated to add new features, including AI for smart document capture

Cons

  • Hosted environment is too pricey, but the on prem is perfect for us.
  • One of the limitations I find is the lack of advanced customization options in the user interface. I would like more flexibility to tailor the look and feel and functionality of the platform to specific needs.
  • Some of the nodes are a little complicated and the online training is not available.
  • The user interface could be more modern and intuitive. Initial setup can be a bit complex for smaller teams.
  • Although I do believe we get special pricing based on our organization which is non-profit, we can only afford a single CPU license for our on-prem setup for document processing which makes things a little slow. So depending on what volumes you need to process, you can get a backlog of documents in the capture cue waiting to be processed. In an ideal situation where funds are unlimited, we would likely utilize their cloud solution with additional CPU cores and also the AI add-on for more efficient document capture.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • We are a long time ThinkAutomation customer, having started with email2db, then ThinkAutomation v4 and now the brilliantly executed ThinkAutomation v5. As a long ago software engineer and systems architect, TA5 provides a very easy to implement, expansive REST and JSON focused world of automation enabling any to any systems integrations which are key to any mult-channel e-commerce business. Further, their ability to integrate C# ‘scripts’, and ever expanding downloadable automation libraries, their simple to advanced language constructs and extensibility, means that this BPA engine can be strategically adopted by any business, small to enterprise class, to automate whatever manual processes and forward looking advantageous business extensions you wish. And let me tell you, TA5 is rocket fast!
  • Once you're used to the software, it's simple to use and extremely flexible and drives a lot of the automation of our internal processes.
  • It's easy to use, has many integrations and triggers, low cost, fixed fee and fully customisable. The moto is if you can think it you can Automate it and that has held true. Within our business and for clients we have used ThinkAutomation to eliminate mundane manual effort and give time back to the business to drive greater customer value-add activities.
  • - All round integration and extraction options - Integration with Azure - A helpful support desk and customer success managers - Extensive scripting options
  • ThinkAutomation has been a very useful piece of software that has allowed our IT team to not only automate a lot of our processes but has also helped save both our IT and HR team time. Another pro to mention would be the support team, when we've had previous issues, the team have responded immediately whether through live chat or email.

Cons

  • I had concerns with TA4 because of its more limited capabilities, it TA5 changes the game.
  • I think a couple of things it could improve on, are examples to work with, some areas (such as connecting it to an API to extract data) are lacking examples to show "what good looks like" so you spend a lot of time working it out yourself. I'd like the option to choose what email to bring into the find & extract helper, not just "get last". Copying and pasting an email into this works differently to how it reads an actual email.
  • There is no detailed workflow visualisation for your automations.
  • - Still some errors in the newly added features (bugs) - Documentation on Azure could be more elaborate - I am missing tutorials on writing scripts and creating triggers/integrations
  • We have had a few issues with ThinkAutomation, a lot of it we didn't fully understand and other aspects were due to the features in TA4 being Beta so not yet fully integrated into the software. Every so often these little issues still pop up but thanks to the support team we have a lot of it under control and know how to fix the issue going forward.
