"The ability to connect to websites and pull data is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The interface is simple, user-friendly, and very intuitive."
"This tool has machine learning and voice recognition and computer vision, which are both quite useful aspects. These aren't available in other tools. It's a good addition to this tool and it gives the solution an edge on the market."
"The licensing of the product is very good. You only need to license it once and then you have it forever."
"The best feature of Automate is its ease of use, which is a major selling point."
"The solution is continuously adding more integrations to help with workflows and bot and task creation."
"It's very easy to use. That's a big selling point for it. It has got a drag-and-drop interface, so you can quickly deploy bots."
"The compression, because it drastically reduces the disk space."
"It has reduced our backup time and simplified our backup processes across all the servers."
"There is room for improvement regarding cloud functionality; there are a few missing features, and the logging could be better, especially air logging. We can go into logging events and create our own task, but it would be nice if this were more detailed."
"We really need a free development environment for customers. Building and testing automation on production isn't ideal."
"Some companies have asked for voice integration. This is likely part of the roadmap."
"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."
"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 solution has a very weak knowledge base."
"The documentation is not that great."
"I would like to see the pieces that they have put in the web only to be put into the thick client sitting on the desktop client."
"Make sure you check your backups on a regular basis. Backups do get missed with this tool, for whatever reason."
"The way the filtering goes, if you filter on your view, there is no indication that you have made a selection."
