Pick one manual and repeatable operation that drains your human resources (ex: entering data from a source document (Excel workbook) into your application), download a trial version of Automate, and start to develop a task to perform that work. The ease of use and versatility of the tool will be evident quickly.

Phenomenal software.

What differentiates Fortra's Automate from other similar products?

Automate provides numerous abilities and have been used as both a code/no-code platform. The ability to drag-and-drop steps to build tasks makes the software accessible even to those with limited coding experience. While some knowledge of programming concepts is helpful, creating tasks is extremely intuitive.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The no-code ability. Having the option to build automation without the need for an individual with specialized programming knowledge provides incredible flexibility.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Some of the logging/monitoring capabilities need to be enabled by hand or take some time to load. Looking through logs to determine the cause of an unhandled task failure can be challenging at times.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Automate can handle nearly any repetitive task you throw at it, which can allow individuals to spend time on tasks that can't otherwise be automated. Personally I have saved hours each month by using Automate to complete the more mundane tasks. This also all but eliminates the possibility of user error, which is a huge plus with automation of any kind.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity
