AutoMate 6.2.5

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

AutoMate is more than an application--it's practically a platform. Its raft of features relieves the burden of monotonous tasks. The clean interface easily manages numerous tasks and carefully guides you through adding new ones. If a problem occurs, you can refer to the extensive documentation. AutoMate can run any combination of actions triggered by conditions, such as time, keystrokes, and system-configuration changes, even if the PC is logged off. Actions include running a program, opening a Web page, sending keystrokes to an application, clicking a button, downloading a file, and running a database query. Triggers include the start, end, or nonresponse of Windows processes or services, as well as start-up events, such as a specified user logging on. Administrators can control an AutoMate client from any machine on a TCP/IP network and send tasks to several computers at once. Automation Markup Language and BASIC engines let advanced users script complex tasks with data-formatting and retrieval capabilities. AutoMate isn't for everyone, but the program will pay off big for corporate users who need to automate complex tasks.

Combining raw power with intelligent design, AutoMate enables IT professionals to build and deploy system-automation projects in record time.

The application can perform a wide variety of tasks, including automated FTP-file transfers, data or file replication, application testing, data entry, event-log monitoring, service or application monitoring, system-performance monitoring, SQL database transactions, and e-mail notification. AutoMate includes more than 170 available actions and triggers that can rapidly be assembled into an automated solution, saving time and money.

Version 6.2.5 fixes a problem where a dataset could not be reused, which caused problems in certain situations such as looping a SQL Query.
