    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.

    From my few months of using the tool, I believe the tool would be best suited for Legal Ops (Contracting) & Procurement. Maybe even in competitive bidding (strategic sourcing: eg RFP & RFX). The tool may be less appropriate for Payment Processing/Collecting.

    • 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).

    • Adding form fields can be quite tedious as it has to be added to every stage/relationship.
    • It's difficult to remember where a certain condition/formula sits.
    • I wish the workflow itself can be exported for presentation/demo/documentation purposes.
    • I wish there was a way for more than one admin to configure the tool at the same time.

    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.

    Autodesk selected TAP because of its ability to handle more complex workflows. We vetted a lot of "light" automation solutions but wanted a tool that was flexible enough to handle our more extensive use cases.

    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.

    • Required fields force robust disclosure information up front.
    • Workday integration enables pre-population of fields which reduces manual entry and saves compliance time.
    • Emails, communications, and disclosure decision memos and stored in a centralized database which helps our team keep compliant records.
    • Automated reminders have led to less ‘chasing’ by compliance.
    • Improved UX has encouraged and increased disclosures, mitigating our company's risk.
