User Testimonials
	Fortra’s Automate	Worksoft Connective Automation Platform
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	Worksoft As I have worked with various ERP automation tools, Worksoft certify is a best tool in terms of End-to-End testing for SAP business processes. It is easy to understand by business people Incentivized Veeraiah Motukuri MDG Test Lead 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Worksoft Prepared 25 end-to-end scenarios that leveraged 3,000 manual test cases and this was a big achievement for the customer to save the regression time and resources. It is fast to automate SAP projects Improved development cycle and nowadays customers are expecting "lights off" automation. We have scheduled lights off automation mode through Worksoft Certify. Incentivized Veeraiah Motukuri MDG Test Lead Read full review
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	Worksoft Worksoft Certify solution could be a bit more intuitive and user friendly Test Data Management - No testing system will work with bad or interpreted data Incentivized Veeraiah Motukuri MDG Test Lead 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	Worksoft 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	Worksoft No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Fortra Incentivized Farjad Habib Senior Software Engineer Read full review	Worksoft SAP TAO is only alternate tool I would suggest. Incentivized Veeraiah Motukuri MDG Test Lead Read full review
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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Worksoft Positive: End to End business process validation and Fast Test development Licenses issues should be minimized Incentivized Veeraiah Motukuri MDG Test Lead Read full review
