This software works amazingly good when I need to send large volume office files to multiple clients in very less time. I just need to upload all the documents from my cloud storage and add all the recipients. And in just one click they all my documents in real time. It also let me know when they open my documents. It also helps them to preview the documents before downloading.

It's great for repetitive or regularly scheduled activities like reports or file transfers. However, it's not so good for on-demand activities. It doesn't support task shortcuts to run specific tasks. If it did it would be perfect.

  • A reporting capability on tasks: enabled, disabled, by folder, by trigger, etc. Currently there is none.
  • An "OR" in their conditional statements - currently there is only "AND".
  • Some kind of temporary backup when changing a task - separate from the current back up/restore functionality (which works well).

It's just very easy to use, extremely versatile, and very reliable. It's hard to find use cases where it won't work.

Support is very helpful and responsive, although using the tool is very user-friendly, so I hardly use the service.

This is an amazing software for sending files very conveniently. So we did not use any other software for this purpose. I am extremely happy with its services.

  • It's been a net positive as AutoMate requires less eyes on specific tasks so that people can focus attention elsewhere and do more analysis.
  • Less manual work also decreases the chances of mistakes and/or missed jobs. Since Automate can schedule everything, send email notifications, etc., there is less time wasted.
