What differentiates Fortra's 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.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Saves Time
  • Respectful
  • Fair

I am very happy because this is one of the programs with the best intelligence and few limitations to perform these processes that help me a lot to carry out my work step by step without mistakes, the trick of this brilliant program is to create and implement multiple software robots so that they can smoothly carry out those activities and processes within my system and significantly increase the speed with which is operated within my company.

What do you dislike most about this product?

One of the problems we have had with the program has to do with its limitations when it comes to being compatible and automating certain applications.

Similar programs on the market that are more open and compatible with many more programs or applications.

This is one of the programs that I like to recommend the most to perfect any workflow, since this program is designed to create robots that help complete complex activities for any type of user, Fortra's Automate is one of the best programs of automation on the market for its efficiency and administrative functions, I recommend it 100% for its good quality and support for a long time on my workstation.
