"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.""It gives us a central place to schedule tasks and run them distributed.""Fortra's Automate performs the job effectively and has the capability to alert us of any issues.""The most valuable features for my client are timing and scheduling.""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.""The licensing of the product is very good. You only need to license it once and then you have it forever.""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.""I actually quite liked the no-coding functionality."

Cons
"There is a learning curve, and some training could be included to bring users up to speed.""The stability of the product has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required.""Would like to see more additions to the library."

More Datamatics TruBot Cons →

"The documentation is not that great.""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.""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.""It would be an improvement if Automate had better stability tools, whether by recommending a certain amount of memory because it can be a memory hog at times.""The solution has a very weak knowledge base.""Some companies have asked for voice integration. This is likely part of the roadmap.""It's possible that they could use a stronger community for seeking guidance and help."

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."
