Fortra’s Automate! Awesome tool.

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Automate from other similar products?

I adore being able to create sophisticated RPA tasks without having any prior coding knowledge. It provides a wide range of actions, from basic ones (like copying files, typing simulation, working with spreadsheets, sending and receiving emails, and modifying desktop and Web applications) to more difficult ones (like using REST APIs, integrating with SQL, FTP, Powershell, Amazon Services, and VMWare). From the level of the activity to the level of the tasks and workflows, it offers error-handling capabilities.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Fortra’s Automate provides a plethora of useful features and modules. It includes a nice drag-and-drop interface that allows me to easily move steps around. It supports several scripting languages, which helps to broaden its capabilities. Automate includes security measures that can be used to hide sensitive data as needed. Fortras offers excellent customer service as well as group and one-on-one training.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The Windows interface of AutoMate occasionally exhibits serious bugs. I’m utilizing AutoMate 10’s most recent and final build. Even though this release is the most stable one after many iterations, several minor problems still arise when building tasks. Too much copying and pasting can result in GUI crashes.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Really thorough job builder. Even though I don’t have much programming experience, it is simple to read through a task’s operation step by step. Automation jobs have relatively flexible scheduling. Enables me to design any kind of work schedule as necessary. It is highly organized in terms of occupations, tasks, and circumstances. Enables me to manage my stuff effortlessly. I appreciate and recommend Fortra’s Automate.

  • Helps Innovate
