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.

Cons
Datamatics
  • The tool is not very compatible [with the] cloud. They heavily rely on on-premises deployment. [It would be nice to have more] cloud adoption.
  • The license model needs to be modified. Licenses should not be tied to a machine or a user, instead, they should be with the number of active instances.

  • 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).

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

  • 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.
