Find out what your peers are saying about UiPath, Microsoft, Automation Anywhere and others in Robotic Process Automation (RPA)."The licensing of the product is very good. You only need to license it once and then you have it forever."
"The most valuable feature is the drag-and-drop interface, which is very Windows-like."
"I like the interface; it makes managing automation easy. We can set different schedules and templates for each task."
"Compared to other vendors, it's the scheduling tool because a lot of vendors want to charge you extra for their enterprise-level license to have a scheduling tool built in to give you the ability to set up regular schedules to run and do certain data checks."
"The ability to connect to websites and pull data is the solution's most valuable feature."
"I find it very user-friendly. Our IT department and other departments can seamlessly collaborate without requiring extensive training. As a business department, we particularly value this aspect, as our team doesn't consist of many IT users. However, we couldn't solely rely on a drag-and-drop approach to implement and utilize the solution within our departments."
"The most valuable features for my client are timing and scheduling."
"We use it for specific cases, mainly secure file transfers, which are vital for us. And it works for us."
"I found all features valuable and necessary in Toad Data Modeler, particularly how good the solution is for modeling, database schema generation, and database re-engineering. I also found Toad Data Modeler straightforward to use."
"Auto-complete is the best feature of the solution."
"It is not feasible for small businesses. It is not used in a small company."
"Fortra's Automate is not as reliable as I would like it to be."
"There is room for improvement regarding cloud functionality; there are a few missing features, and the logging could be better, especially air logging. We can go into logging events and create our own task, but it would be nice if this were more detailed."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and easier to navigate."
"While this solution is continually improving, as it is now, the user interface could use improvement when I compare it to a product like UiPath."
"The documentation is not that great."
"I believe we need to test various OCR tools that assist in evaluating, let's say, six different customer resyncs. We analyze their spending patterns and documentations, but current OCR support has limitations, requiring highly standardized documents, which isn't always the case. With a more advanced OCR system, we could improve processes related to credit risk management and legal matters. We're exploring how to integrate Fortra's Automate with our CRM platform, taking cues from instances where Salesforce seamlessly merged with Automate. However, we use a different CRM, Insight for New Enterprise, and we're seeking ways to connect the automation process within our CRM. We aim for the automation to continue smoothly, even in instances where traditional automation methods might face hurdles."
"I would like to see some better web automation, a wizard like the one in the product WinAutomation would be very nice."
"They do not encrypt passwords, so this is an issue with HIPAA compliance."
"What could be improved in Toad Data Modeler is stability and the complex setup."
"Many users don't know how to add licensing to Toad, or where it is shown, so they could make that easier."
"It is not feasible for small businesses. It is not used in a small company."
"The product should provide better debugging features."
