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.

It is well suited for desktop automation but for web based or virtual environment it fails to replicate the success.

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.

  • WorkFusion merges features of two of the largest tools in RPA when it comes to captured HTML objects.
  • The tool is visually pleasing to the developer.
  • The cost of your licenses is low, although that is not something that the tool "does well".

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).

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.

As stated in the good points of the tool, WorkFusion merges two UiPath and Automation Anywhere features in a very winning way.

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.

  • I am not part of the team responsible for this part, but I believe we will have a positive impact, since the pretension is to have a robbery running 24/7.
