What differentiates Fortra's Automate from other similar products?
Ease of deployment and initial development.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Ability to use many different types of job tasks that are specific to third party applications/systems - such as Microsoft Exchange or Azure.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Can be difficult and time consuming to build reusable tasks that will work with any workflow.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
But a single license of the product first (or sign up for a trial license). Then start with a single, small project initiative to automate a business process that will provide immediate value. This will justify the initial cost of the purchase and allow you to explore the available features for future projects and better understand the development intricacies.

- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
- Respectful
