WinAutomation by Softomotive Reviews & Product Details

I have used for over three years and love the product - allows me to automate Windows and Web document processing. I use this product daily and have had great support from them when needed. Very helpful with

the support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to dislike! A little costly to move up to next level of program but would still be worth the cost. I have found that this version of Software automation is great. The only thing that when using is that sometimes the advanced web automation is a little difficult but that is just part of web automation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is one of the best RPA solutions available in the market. Provides speedy service and enhanced functionalities.

WinAutomation is quite an easy-to-learn and easy-to-use software. The programming capabilities of the software are pretty vast. The drag and drop scripting feature comes pretty handily. The flexibility of the overall software is another great reason to consider it. Very easy-to-use software, therefore, doesn't take up any unnecessary time of the user to figure out how to make it go. On that note, it should also be included that the user interface is simple as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having an expression builder on-board will be surely great. The support team formerly was doing a great job, but seems like with each passing day it's disdaining. Creating a new task can also be difficult at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface of the software is extremely user friendly. Also, it is quite easy to use as well, which adds up to its user experience. The development console makes it easy to access the software even for those who are not very technically advanced. The drag and drop feature is one of the best among all the useful features that it has to offer.

Easy integration with multiple platforms assures uninterrupted workflow. Creating custom animation over the platform is pretty easy. The processing capability of the software is really great and surely takes it a notch higher.

Compared to similar RPA tools, data scraping is faster with the WinAutomation application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It will be great to have some advanced AI tool onboard. Even though creating animations is easy but they are not very up to the mark. Recognizing OCR text is also like a challenge. Recommendation feature can also use some sort of improvisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

liked the way how already predefined things are loaded up, when a specific document is added to a watched organizer. Best of all, the procedures are possibly activated when the occasion models is met. This is significant on the grounds that you would prefer not to expend mechanical limit pointlessly.

• Secure Screen – One of the lasting worries around RPA is security. To help guarantee information protection, particularly when the procedure is running unattended, WinAutomation has included a component known as secure screen. With this alternative chose, when the procedure is running, the screen turns blue and nobody will have the option to get into what the robot is doing. Ideal for touchy procedures, for example, finance mechanization! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it is far beyond the automation tool as compare to other tools ,need some upgradation hope that win 9 would satisfy all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Doing the same boring stuff over and over again can get annoying at times. That is exactly where the WinAutomation software makes an entry.WinAutomation is a decent tool for robotic desktop automation. The software is easy to use and no dubious thought on its functionality. The distribution of the software is as well easy. The software is a nice fit for newbies and RPA developers. The Data scraping feature provided by the WinAutomation works faster. It can not be denied that WinAutomation delivers good performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cloud support is unavailable to remote access the robots, which indeed is a drawback. Even though the Data scrapping feature works fast, but it requires a bit of knowledge in the field in order to access it properly. Which brings us to our next point. The tutorial guides provided by the company does not get updated after every feature update of the software, which makes it more difficult to use it or get all the benefits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using Win Automation for over a year to automate processes that span browsers and desktop applications and can read and write from Excel to undate data and capture results. Love the tools to identify the proper fields for action. Delighted that I don't need to know programming languages.

So, really flexible, really powerful and it saves massive amounts of time for repetitive tasks! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Haven't found anything I dislike. I can run tests using a just a few cycles of the loops. No compliants here, for sure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the fact that while I am not a programmer, my knowledge of rules based processes allow me to build automated processes with ease. I enjoy taking away the repetitive tasks at my job. I can work on more important things and other processes while my automation assists me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software and UI is pretty great. I enjoy how user friendly things are to implement processes....though, the business side of things I have had a hard time with. If you do not continue to pay for a software assurance plan you lose ALL support for the software. Not just technical questions but basic as in something is not working right with the software. I got the software before they updated their site to advertise the "No hidden fees" stuff.

Example. Daylight savings just happened....Windows auto updated the time and so did the winautomation console, but I have schedules set for process and while the schedules are set correctly...the "Next scheduled run" and the "actual run time" are an hour off from when it is set to run. I asked about this to the support team and they would not help me because I did not have an up to date software assurance plan. They said I should contact the sale department to upgrade so that I may receive support on the matter. I did, I emailed the sales department TWICE the first on January 28th and recently on March 12th how much it would cost and that I was really wanting and needing to get the plan and they never responded. I was and am STILL WILLING to give them my money just to get some basic support for the software that I am using, but they wont even give me that.

Pretty decent software for a beginner, but stay away if you are using it for your business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

WinAutomation was launched way back in 2005 (before the recent hype) and hence can be considered a pioneer in the RPA industry. Having such a long operating track record does provide reassurances over the quality and trustworthiness of the product and indeed the company Softomotive. Undoubtedly, the key selling proposition of WinAutomation is value-for-money. Among the established RPA software, WinAutomation is arguably the most attractive priced, which is an important consideration if you are looking to scale automation within your entire organization. It is also worth nothing that WinAutomation is essentially the designer, attended and unattended robot all rolled into one software.

Additionally, WinAutomation has some pretty interesting features, including:

• Triggers and Schedules – WinAutomation allows you to run your processes automatically without your interference using triggers and schedules. Some of the use cases include triggering a process to execute when a certain type of email is received, or when a particular file is added to a watched folder. The best part is that the processes are only triggered when the event criteria is met. This is important because you do not want to consume robotic capacity unnecessarily.

• Secure Screen – One of the perennial concerns around RPA is security. To help ensure data privacy, especially when the process is running unattended, WinAutomation has added a feature known as secure screen. With this option selected, when the process is running, the screen turns blue and no one will be able to pry into what the robot is doing. Perfect for sensitive processes such as payroll automation!

• Concurrency – Similar to the concept of employees multitasking, WinAutomation supports the parallel execution of many processes at the same time. This is unlike most other RPA software where work is done sequentially. By using a smart queuing technology, WinAutomation enables you to optimize the robotic performance in terms of time and efficiency (and hence more bang for your bucks).

WinAutomation probably has a weaker product road-map compared to some of its industry peers. Certainly, the pace of product innovations and new feature releases could be improved upon. In addition, there is a less vibrant online developer community as compared to say UiPath, which means that in most instances you will have to turn to technical support if you encounter any roadblocks.

This application is not as expensive as other automation tools available in the market which even helps startups to use this and even students can download the free trail version and learn this tool. This tools give you the leverage to write you own designed code and not just be follow the commands available. This is a great benefit from a developers point of view. Also you can directly run this tool using Command prompt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This tool is not so secured as other Automation tools. But the worst thing is that this tool doesn't has a centralised mechanism system from where you can deploy and manage multiple tasks. Which doesn't allow you to use this tool on large scale. For beginners to learn about this tool, you wont find much tutorials or documents about this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

WinAutomation is one of the least expensive RPA tool which is available in the current market, there are lot of useful features available in WinAutomation and that too for less price. It can be used to automate Web, desktop and email based tasks effortlessly. It allows us to write different programming languages directly and run them, which will help in solving complex issues. One more great feature of this application is that we can control it directly through the command prompt which is very unique feature which I didn't find in any other RPA tools. Also, the data security provided by WinAutomation is just Excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User interface is little bit complex to understand and it requires much time to understand how each command works, because the documentation or support is limited. Also the GUI is little bit slow and there is no centralized bot deployment or management mechanism Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Now works with IE, Chrome, and Firefox. Coordinates with Excel with some programming needed. Saves a great deal of time with reports coming from Insurance companies Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Need some programming skills to use fully, but WinAutomation can do it for you if needed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to log in a simulate a user is critical for automating operation. This functionality comes built in and makes the service usable from day 01. Additionally the 2 subscription type like "run only" really helped in our costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve is extremely high but definitely worth the work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My experience have been soo good, was really easy to jump into the RPA World with many examples of different interfaces, WEB, Standalone, Excel and many more.

The modular developing is really good you can develop many modules and then reuse them for other robots.

The different ways of licensing is really nice as it offer different schemes to get the tool giving you many options that can be adapted to your bussiness Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some graphic interface could be added as the current macross is not really friendly and add many "garbage" that you need to clean up later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The file manipulation examples and jobs really work well. When I have routine maintenance jobs to do, some can be time consuming so having them automated allows for me to multitask. Winnie does the maintenance and I focus on the non-routine tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like not having a manual. If it's a PDF, I can search and hightlight. I can print it out and notate items I use on a regular basis. Having examples with more complete information about the code segments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the simplicity of working with actions and the uncomplicated for their relationship with respect to processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That does not allow the use of user libraries that can be developed in ProcessRobot Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to get started. You can write code on the fly and quickly gives you access. Plenty of capability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Licensing structure is complicated and a tad pricey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I just love the simplicity and flexibility. You can go as deep as you want or just use the basic functions as is.

We use it for triggering different applications at specific times and with different variables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's not a lot to not like about winautomation, but i'd like to see a more premium (read professional) feel to the user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy-to-use and easy-to-learn interface. Though I had some coding experience, however, one doesn't really need to having any coding background to make really good use of WinAutomation.

I've used WinAutomation tool for more than 5 years now and it has helped me completed countless monotonous tasks and saved me countless man hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To be honest, there's really nothing to dislike about the product itself. However, I lament the lost of the support forum which I so often rely on. Only if Softmotive can bring back the support forum, then everything will be flawless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The way Winautomate can turn it's hand to automating even complex (not just simple repetitive actions or processes) saves huge amounts of time. As an added advantage it really helps you understand core elements of your work. Where you are up against deadlines, careful planning can really improve positive project outcomes.

Having to explain why things that took so long before can now be done unattended in a fraction of the time. Quite literally is a remorseless productivity app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
