OpenBots
- stevenicr 5y agoI scanned the homepage, read the case studies page and openned some tabs. Back to the homepage and read it. At this point I still don't know what RPA is - yet it seems to be the main thing this does and competes with others for/about(?) I thought for sure I would understand once I opened the "RPA Core Components" block from homepage - and no, I still don't know what RPA is and what this is supposed to solve. The block next to that one talks about automating microsoft office - hmmm. There is a block on the homepage telling me what I can do with money I save. Now it really screams 'all about sales' - yet I don't know what I am buying, or what I would be buying instead of this. I do like the blurb on the subpage :install it on-prem, making their RPA license costs for their core components $0. Whether a company has 1 bot or 1000 bots in production, the license costs with OpenBots are $0." - but again I don't know what RPA is. Now I'm thinking this is for some specialist in the world - and there is vendor lock-in and the cost is learning and being locked in. Didn't see a terms of use or license info either - so this is not for me or anyone I know. Good thing is I don't know what it's suppose to replace, so I'm not having non-buyer's-remorse.
