Find out what your peers are saying about UiPath, Microsoft, Automation Anywhere and others in Robotic Process Automation (RPA)."The interface is simple, user-friendly, and very intuitive."
"We have tried other RPA solutions like UiPath or Automation Anywhere. They are fantastic products but complex, and it's hard to understand everything. It would be best if you had a skilled developer or several. Automate is easy to implement, administer, and use. It's appropriate for us because our cases are simple and easy to automate. We don't need complicated tools with many features; We prefer to get a significant ROI quickly."
"We use it for specific cases, mainly secure file transfers, which are vital for us. And it works for us."
"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."
"I like the interface; it makes managing automation easy. We can set different schedules and templates for each task."
"The solution is continuously adding more integrations to help with workflows and bot and task creation."
"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 best feature of Automate is its ease of use, which is a major selling point."
"It helped in confidentially transferring files with a vast number of servers available with no external applications required."
"The speed of transferring large datasets is super quick, which allows us to work on multiple tasks at a time."
"Valuable features include a comprehensive management UI and a strictly controlled managed file transfer."
"We can send the data quickly and securely."
"JSCAPE's automation can obliterate manual file transfer processes, salvaging precious time and vanquishing the chances of errors."
"We receive customized email notifications and alerts regarding user activities and the number of login attempts."
"It is a reliable and easy-to-operate platform for secure file transfers."
"The user interface feels easy to use."
"I would like to see some better web automation, a wizard like the one in the product WinAutomation would be very nice."
"We really need a free development environment for customers. Building and testing automation on production isn't ideal."
"The OCR for Hebrew text needs to be improved."
"Fortra's Automate is not as reliable as I would like it to be."
"The vendor is currently working on a solution that allows us to automatically create a process that is based on a document that we receive via email."
"The workflow for variables could be better. The input and output of task-level variables could be made a little clearer in terms of passing those around from one task to another upon success, etc. Things like that could be a little easier potentially."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and easier to navigate."
"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."
"The initial setup and configuration are time-consuming."
"Improving the error handling feature can help users to identify and resolve issues more quickly and efficiently."
"The product's pricing needs improvement."
"With constant software releases and updates, detailed notifications and documentation on the improvements along with the comparison of the past and present features would be helpful to understand and use it better."
"The price is too high and the product line is too complex."
"Setup is time-consuming."
"The initial setup is a bit hectic during the installation."
"Enhancing the user interface would make it more accessible and appealing to the new users and it will definitely enhance the user experience."
