#2You may want to review your pricing model it does not make a lot of sense. Here is why: Pricing by business process with the jumps you have in your pricing probably will not work.
Have you validated your assumptions on how business operate and how many process are involved even in small businesses?
You go up from 1 to 25 users in your first small tier of 300/Mo but you only increase your processes from 5 to 10. You don't define a processes on your pricing page and your FAQ is unclear. You don't define the real value to someone using it for a real job would have in advocating why this is important to the COMPANY. Do your offer an SLA that is safe enough for any real business to trust your service? What happens if you go down for a few hours? What happens if you sell it?

#3Is this a product that helps create say the same user in multiple accounts and helps onboard an employee?
It's difficult to grasp the value prop since the solution seems to be pitching itself as a once-size-fits-all automation for any task. You're better off creating marketing pages for each niche problem space that this solution can help with.

#4I get a forbidden PHP error message with leaked server details in the place where the video should load.

#5I'm seeing an error on the homepage:
> Warning: file_get_contents(https://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/466939644.php): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden in /home/customer/www/cognifirm.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/Ultimate_VC_Addons/modules/ultimate_videos.php on line 208
That the site is trying to fetch the contents of a Vimeo page at runtime is quite the code smell!

#6Was chatting to someone yesterday who ran a RPA startup for last few years to automate repeatable desktop activities.
Essentially automation anywhere, UI path got to big for them to compete with, they also did not raise enough at the right time, but - more interesting to me - was that the founder said larger corporates were moving away from RPA to more structured api integrations to support automation.
They had an OK offering (I tried it) and managed to build up a client base of 20 or so corporates but now they are winding down and founder is looking for a job.
The quick ROI bang for buck through RPA has probably been exploited enough I feel and limitations are being exposed... My view but curious to hear others on state of automation software.

#7The website failed to load. After retrying 3 times there was an animated widgit that also failed to load anything.

RPA has three types of users.
1. Web-first consumers too dumb to use more modern, structured interfaces, or migrate away from platforms that don't offer them.
2. Business units in large enterprise companies with dysfunctional IT that can't develop.
3. 40+ year old industries with a heritage of legacy computing systems, complex enough that migrations are measured in decades.
#1 doesn't have much money. #2 is eventually going to get their act together. And #3 is services-heavy, because they want you to support their kooky tech stack.
But essentially... if you can't fully support legacy Windows (mainframe + Java + Powerbuilder et al.), don't get in the game.
Which is a long way of saying it's winner-take-all, due to the volume of business required to amortize that custom Windows work over. UiPath realized this, which is why they pushed the pedal to the floor to goose growth.
(Also, Automation Anywhere's architecture and core tech is a kludged-together joke)

Yea I agree, this pricing model isn't very alluring. The tool could be useful, but the time you promise to save won't offset that monthly fee in real-world time. There's a sunk cost of time setting up the automation that subtracts from the time savings. Try to get rich a little slower and you might have better success.

Where do you find the pricing? I'm on mobile and can't see it anywhere.
