    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.

    Laiye RPA is suited in repeating and stable business processes which are rule driven, such as finance, human resource, tax report, logistics (stock in and stock out), sales orders to account receivable, and purchase orders to account payable, and etc. It is not appropriate in situation where flexibility is required to complete tasks, or human to human communication is a key factor.

    • Scheduling for automation jobs is very flexible. Allows us to create all kinds of job schedules as needed.

    Cons
    Fortra
    • 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).

    Usability

    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.

    Besides the competitive pricing, I really feel its OCR feature is one of a kind and a major distinguishing factor which gives Laiye RPA an upper hand against other RPA vendors whose OCR features are a little weak in comparison. A further differentiator is the low-code factor that has allowed us to scale easily across the company.

    Return on Investment
    Fortra
    • 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.
