Review on Autto by Braxton Jackson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

So much potential, yet so little usability! You can see their passion and dedication for making the tool easy to use and intuitive.

But they also know that if they make it too easy to use, the tool will be abused and it won’t perform at its full potential. I love the idea of automating repetitive tasks, but the tool is not ready for primetime. I was looking forward to working with it because I thought it would give me the ability to automate our entire workflow, but that is not possible yet. I wish the documentation was better, especially around setting up triggers and conditions. The tool itself is slow, cumbersome, and clunky, although the UI looks clean. I am afraid it might become another MS Sharepoint, with all of its faults. For those who don’t understand, Sharepoint is an online collaboration platform. If you ever wanted to share a document or file, you needed to upload it first, then go back to Sharepoint and link it. That’s exactly what AutoTosetups does.

Pros
  • Automate repetitive tasks
  • Easy to learn
  • Lots of features
Cons
  • Not ready for primetime
  • Slow, cumbersome, and clunky
  • UI looks clean
  • No documentation (documentation is very poor)
  • May become another MS Sharepoint, with all of its faults
  • Needs more testing before being released to production
  • Is not available as a web app
  • Cannot work offline
  • Can only handle batch jobs
