What differentiates Fortra's Automate from other similar products?
I haven't seen other products.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Intuitiveness
What do you dislike most about this product?
It can be ornery sometimes when running an automate script. Some of the steps just don't want to do as they're told.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Look for good support. Forta has good support, with knowledgeable and personable people who are prompt at answering support requests. I might like the training to be more of a question answering forum though. Basic operations can be learned through a video. If I'm spending time with live support, I might prefer using the time to address items specific to my organization and implementation.

What differentiates Fortra's Automate from other similar products?
The distinctive aspect of Fortra's Automate RPA is that it does provide a little bit more independence than some other solutions. User-friendly and simple to use, Fortra's Automate RPA is an RPA solution. I picked up using this automation tool and creating workflows quite quickly. It offers a large variety of tasks, and finding what we want to construct automation is simple.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Everything from email lists to complex technical procedures may be easily automated with the cutest automation process software on the market. We value how straightforward task programming is made possible by its Automate Task Builder, which allows us to simply drag stages into position and alter their attributes as needed. The interface is really user-friendly and entertaining. Even someone with basic product knowledge may be capable of utilizing and configuring the product to its fullest extent.
What do you dislike most about this product?
There are several flaws and pop-up boxes throughout the script, but some of them are difficult to control. If I don't respond quickly to address problems, they seriously impede the automation process, forcing us to redesign the procedure.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Fortra's Automate RPA is more than adequate to handle all automation in all business sectors; its capabilities are more than enough to make sure that you never run away from having all the sophisticated features in a single location. You must try it; it is very customizable, has reasonable pricing schemes, and is a secure location.
