We performed a comparison between Bizagi and Fortra's Automate based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Camunda, Pega, Appian and others in Process Automation."It can be useful as a tool to improve your communications and the control of your processes. For example, when you have to explain a process to seven or eight stakeholders who think differently as well as have different experiences in different functional departments, it is not easy. Sometimes you are using a lot of technical terms, and other times, you are dealing with management terminology. The visual representation helps you create a better alignment and understanding for different roles and stakeholders of your workforce."
"It has an easy to use interface which final users accepted with much more enthusiasm than our ERP (SAP)."
"It is quite a stable solution."
"The product allowed users to connect with flow chart elements with ease."
"It automates a completely manual, complicated process."
"The most valuable feature is that it is compatible with Visual Studio and .NET, and we can program it. Its speed is very good, and it is also stable and easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature is the organizational modeling capability."
"I find Bizagi so user friendly. I also think that its modeling abilities are great and it's easy to teach them to new users."
"Fortra's Automate performs the job effectively and has the capability to alert us of any issues."
"I find it very user-friendly. Our IT department and other departments can seamlessly collaborate without requiring extensive training. As a business department, we particularly value this aspect, as our team doesn't consist of many IT users. However, we couldn't solely rely on a drag-and-drop approach to implement and utilize the solution within our departments."
"The licensing of the product is very good. You only need to license it once and then you have it forever."
"We have tried other RPA solutions like UiPath or Automation Anywhere. They are fantastic products but complex, and it's hard to understand everything. It would be best if you had a skilled developer or several. Automate is easy to implement, administer, and use. It's appropriate for us because our cases are simple and easy to automate. We don't need complicated tools with many features; We prefer to get a significant ROI quickly."
"This product is quite easy to install, learn, and use, with our new employees being able to start using it in projects for clients after only two weeks of internal training."
"The best feature of Automate is its ease of use, which is a major selling point."
"The most valuable features for my client are timing and scheduling."
"It gives us a central place to schedule tasks and run them distributed."
"I would like to see simulation as a free feature again. In version 3.3 it was free, but in 4.0 it isn't."
"I would like to see a facility for building a simple CRUD application. In Bizagi, you can use database modeling, diagrams, forms, etc., but in some circumstances I need CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionalities which are not there yet."
"The solution was very limited."
"I'm not really satisfied with the reporting aspect."
"Sometimes, when your process is big with multiple lanes, the product will freeze the issue noticed on multiple laptops, not a single PC."
"The product must make automation easier."
"The performance could use improvement. We couldn't connect the processes to on one file. The performance is an issue for us."
"For the small business, this is very bad because it is still fragmented. The licensing policy should be more flexible and small company oriented. In micro-small companies, there should only be one or two. That's not the problem. Maybe it is too flexible, there are so many pieces that you need to put together. When you have a small business, it can be a little complicated, not so easy."
"It would be an improvement if Automate had better stability tools, whether by recommending a certain amount of memory because it can be a memory hog at times."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and easier to navigate."
"Sometimes when we communicate with the ERP system and there is an issue, we are not always aware of the specifics of Automate and the source of the problem."
"The technical support could be better. We suffer from language barriers, as we are in Argentina."
"I would like to see some better web automation, a wizard like the one in the product WinAutomation would be very nice."
"While this solution is continually improving, as it is now, the user interface could use improvement when I compare it to a product like UiPath."
"The documentation is not that great."
"Some companies have asked for voice integration. This is likely part of the roadmap."
