Arno W.
Sr. Automation Consultant
“Liked the many default actions that make integration with other software quick to set up. Found it less suited to high-volume, transaction-based processing.”
Tranys R.
RPA Developer
“Liked the predefined functions that help speed and accuracy and allow UI automation without advanced coding. Found logic-heavy algorithms complex and the scripting language verbose.”
Zuzanna A.
Automation and Process Engineer
“Liked the simple workflow development and easy installation across ERP, SharePoint, and FTP tasks. Found that moving exclusion time intervals to a separate location changed how jobs are configured.”
