User Testimonials
	Fortra’s Automate	Robocorp
Likelihood to Recommend	Fortra 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. Incentivized Kwame H. Baptiste IT Dept. Manager Read full review	Robocorp It is suitable for UI(web, desktop, SAP), Test Automation. Basically It gives correct identification of every elements in web with helps of xpath, that provides the accurate automation bots. It provides ease of development, integration, deployment and monitoring with helps of control room, it is useful for developers and monitoring teams. Robocorp save the time and cost. Incentivized Albin Jose Automation Engineer Read full review
Pros	Fortra 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.

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). Incentivized David Croney Operations Analyst Senior Read full review	Robocorp Improve the documentations with more examples. Include more built-in libraries Tool consumes large memory and space Incentivized Shine Nazeer RPA Developer Read full review
Usability	Fortra It's just very easy to use, extremely versatile, and very reliable. It's hard to find use cases where it won't work. Incentivized Kwame H. Baptiste IT Dept. Manager Read full review	Robocorp No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Fortra Support is very helpful and responsive, although using the tool is very user-friendly, so I hardly use the service. Incentivized Kwame H. Baptiste IT Dept. Manager Read full review	Robocorp No answers on this topic

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.
