VERDICT

Should I use Automate?

Fortra enterprise RPA and workflow automation platform - automate.fortra.com

Depends. Buy only if you're a mid-size or enterprise IT team automating repetitive back-office tasks and can absorb implementation services costs; evidence here is thin, hence low confidence. Small teams wanting simple app-to-app automation should skip it.

Confidence

Low. Based on 5 usable public sources. Most search results concerned similarly named products (Power Automate, ConnectWise Automate, Amazon repricing) and were excluded.

Enterprise RPA for IT ops teams; overkill for small teams. Thin public evidence — demand a demo and written quote.
