Make your automation resilient. With intelligent self-repair mechanisms in the event of errors, through repetitions, user interaction and savepoints.

Git Integration

Use all the version control features of Git.

Agentless Automation

Skip complicated installations, configuration processes and software management on the target system. Information is transferred without a proprietary agent.
