User Testimonials
	Fortra’s Automate	TrueSight Orchestration
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	BMC Software Inc. Well Suited if running other BMC products Need well trained Level 2 & Level 3 Administration for day to day tasks Incentivized Orwin Lopes Lead Consultant 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	BMC Software Inc. Ease of Integration with other BMC products like BMC BSA , BNA ,Remedy & ITSM Technical Support is good Good documentation & Community Support Integration with third party apps is good Incentivized Orwin Lopes Lead Consultant 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	BMC Software Inc. Complex initial setup Integration with Cloud is missing UI is old & traditional & not user friendly Incentivized Orwin Lopes Lead Consultant 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	BMC Software Inc. 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	BMC Software Inc. No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Fortra Incentivized Farjad Habib Senior Software Engineer Read full review	BMC Software Inc. We choose Atrium Orchestrator since we are using other BMC products in our environment & integration to those products is simple Incentivized Orwin Lopes Lead Consultant 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.
