About

T-Plan Robot automates scripted user actions for Test Automation or Robotic Process Automation (RPA) on Mac, Windows Linux & Mobile. T-Plan develops and sells two main toolsets. 1) Test Automation and 2) Robotic Process Automation (RPA). T-Plan Robot is a highly flexible, easy to use, image-based black box GUI automation tool that creates robust automated scripts and exercises applications in the same way as would an end-user. T-Plan Robot is platform-independent (Java) and runs on, and automates all major systems such as Windows, Mac, Linux and Unix plus mobile platforms. We believe we have a solution for any environment. GUI automation interacts with your business sponsor and development teams throughout the whole project lifecycle. Working intuitively at the screen level business analysts can help testers drive testable paths through the application, whilst at the same time combining with the development team to define repeatable actions to test code in continuous development.

About

Develop the automations that work for you. With ThinkAutomation, you get an open-ended studio to build any and every automated workflow you could ever need. All without volume limitations, and all without paying per process, license or ‘robot’.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to setup and understand while supporting a wide range of platforms ranging from desktop to mobile (iOS and Android). In about 4 weeks time entry level engineers were automate simple to medium complexity UI. Has good scripting support.
  • -Supports multiple platforms -Selenium Integration -Image based automation -T-Plan Robot Support has been absolutely great during my free trial, which I believe to be a highly important aspect of introducing the new tool to the team/company

Cons

  • User interface takes a while to get used to if coming from any modern user interface.
  • The UI seems a bit outdated and the app is perhaps not as intuitive as I would expect.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • We are a long time ThinkAutomation customer, having started with email2db, then ThinkAutomation v4 and now the brilliantly executed ThinkAutomation v5. As a long ago software engineer and systems architect, TA5 provides a very easy to implement, expansive REST and JSON focused world of automation enabling any to any systems integrations which are key to any mult-channel e-commerce business. Further, their ability to integrate C# ‘scripts’, and ever expanding downloadable automation libraries, their simple to advanced language constructs and extensibility, means that this BPA engine can be strategically adopted by any business, small to enterprise class, to automate whatever manual processes and forward looking advantageous business extensions you wish. And let me tell you, TA5 is rocket fast!
  • Once you're used to the software, it's simple to use and extremely flexible and drives a lot of the automation of our internal processes.
  • It's easy to use, has many integrations and triggers, low cost, fixed fee and fully customisable. The moto is if you can think it you can Automate it and that has held true. Within our business and for clients we have used ThinkAutomation to eliminate mundane manual effort and give time back to the business to drive greater customer value-add activities.
  • - All round integration and extraction options - Integration with Azure - A helpful support desk and customer success managers - Extensive scripting options
  • ThinkAutomation has been a very useful piece of software that has allowed our IT team to not only automate a lot of our processes but has also helped save both our IT and HR team time. Another pro to mention would be the support team, when we've had previous issues, the team have responded immediately whether through live chat or email.

Cons

  • I had concerns with TA4 because of its more limited capabilities, it TA5 changes the game.
  • I think a couple of things it could improve on, are examples to work with, some areas (such as connecting it to an API to extract data) are lacking examples to show "what good looks like" so you spend a lot of time working it out yourself. I'd like the option to choose what email to bring into the find & extract helper, not just "get last". Copying and pasting an email into this works differently to how it reads an actual email.
  • There is no detailed workflow visualisation for your automations.
  • - Still some errors in the newly added features (bugs) - Documentation on Azure could be more elaborate - I am missing tutorials on writing scripts and creating triggers/integrations
  • We have had a few issues with ThinkAutomation, a lot of it we didn't fully understand and other aspects were due to the features in TA4 being Beta so not yet fully integrated into the software. Every so often these little issues still pop up but thanks to the support team we have a lot of it under control and know how to fix the issue going forward.
