Devart ODBC Driver vs. Fortra’s Automate

It is appropriate in all scenarios. It is perfect to connect with the database. Actually, nothing to dislike in functionality and performance. It is stand-alone and doesn't need any additional application to be installed.

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.

• Far less connection failures. We had a lot of failures with the tool that we were using before.
• High performance and new features are really useful. Direct mode connectivity seems to make the difference that was very much needed.
• Works very well with Oracle Database 10g.

• Very detailed task builder. Easy to read step by step a task's operation even if you don't have much programming knowledge.
• Scheduling for automation jobs is very flexible. Allows us to create all kinds of job schedules as needed.
• Organization of jobs, tasks, conditions is done well. Allows us to easily manage our items.

• User Interface could be better.
• Error Messages and error handling could be improved to be more relevant and specific.
• Availability.

• 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 has been great so far but still, it could be better.

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.
