All RPA-Suite licensing modes are floating. Only active robots consume licensing time, so idle robots do not count for timed options. A company may have more installed robots than those currently running a function.

User Testimonials
	Fortra’s Automate	RPA Suite
Likelihood to Recommend	Anything where automation would be helpful, I'd recommend. If you're doing a task over and over again, Automate can likely work and do it for you. It helps to keep things running exactly the same so that when failures occur, they can easily be traced to their source. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	Wiki pages Blogs Articles Triggers Building crons Automating daily tasks Incentivized Farjad Habib Senior Software Engineer Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	There should be more tools around system stability and recovery. Better ways to manage resources to prevent OS crashes. Automate backups internally without tasks. System failure alerts if the machine crashes or reboots. Incentivized Kwame H. Baptiste IT Dept. Manager Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	It's just very easy to use, extremely versatile, and very reliable. It's hard to find use cases where it won't work. Incentivized Kwame H. Baptiste IT Dept. Manager Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Support is very helpful and responsive, although using the tool is very user-friendly, so I hardly use the service. Incentivized Kwame H. Baptiste IT Dept. Manager Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	It has similar usage cases and functions. However, many tools are stuck behind paywalls and always try to upsell you to the next version. It's very upsetting. Even if it's cheaper, whenever I try to replicate the functionality, I get that annoying message, "not available in this version." As an IT professional who needs approval for every purchase, I can't keep asking for upgrades to existing tools. Incentivized Kwame H. Baptiste IT Dept. Manager Read full review	No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Positive: Reliability on FTP jobs - really important on bank files. Negative - annual support a little pricey - but not unusual for this level of software. Positive: Does not require a dedicated administrator, especially after the jobs are created and tested. I perform other job duties and this rarely interferes with them. Positive - Since it is easy to learn and use it makes it easy to have a back up administrator Incentivized David Croney Operations Analyst Senior Read full review	No answers on this topic
