Pros
"The licensing of the product is very good. You only need to license it once and then you have it forever.""We use it for specific cases, mainly secure file transfers, which are vital for us. And it works for us.""Fortra's Automate performs the job effectively and has the capability to alert us of any issues.""I like the interface; it makes managing automation easy. We can set different schedules and templates for each task.""It's very easy to use. That's a big selling point for it. It has got a drag-and-drop interface, so you can quickly deploy bots.""This product is quite easy to install, learn, and use, with our new employees being able to start using it in projects for clients after only two weeks of internal training.""The most valuable features for my client are timing and scheduling.""This tool has machine learning and voice recognition and computer vision, which are both quite useful aspects. These aren't available in other tools. It's a good addition to this tool and it gives the solution an edge on the market."

Cons
"Sometimes when we communicate with the ERP system and there is an issue, we are not always aware of the specifics of Automate and the source of the problem.""The technical support could be better. We suffer from language barriers, as we are in Argentina.""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 OCR for Hebrew text needs to be improved.""The interface could be more user-friendly and easier to navigate.""The intelligent automation feature could be improved. It's interesting because it's simple, but the automation quality isn't always good. It's easy to use, but sometimes you need to make a slight improvement to the automation, and that's not so easy.""We really need a free development environment for customers. Building and testing automation on production isn't ideal.""The documentation is not that great."

More Fortra's Automate Cons →

"The integration between forms should be made easier.""If Kissflow can help users to be able to organize the company manuals and information, the blogs, and everything into one resource, that would be awesome.""The UI, though is pretty friendly and easy to use, can be improved in some aspects.""There is a lag in the delay between API calls.""Some of the tool's fields only accept certain types of text. The input fields are inflexible.""KiSSFLOW needs to improve its integration.""One area where I believe Kissflow can be improved is customization.""There is room for improvement in terms of stability."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Compared to other products, the pricing model for this solution is much more convenient, flexible, and adaptable to the Portuguese reality."
  • "I like the way this solution is priced because you can buy a license, or you can buy the software outright."
  • "It comes with a package that costs approximately $20,000 USD per year."
  • "While solutions like UiPath and Blue Prism cost around $11,000-$12,000 for each license, this product costs around $7,000 and you can keep it forever."
  • "I'm only involved in running the product and maintaining the systems, so I can't speak to the cost."
  • "The pricing is quite reasonable. We can run the process with one bot. The limitation is at the server level because they have some resources, and sometimes that is enough. It isn't too expensive, so you can get a good return off of one, and you can also have a pack of five bots that is quite competitive."
  • "From a distributor's perspective, one of the biggest selling points of Automate is its price point."
  • "The cost is a bit high for a small business like ours, but we manage with Fortra's Automate."

  • "The license is very expensive."
