TruBot review
A self-hosted RPA suite for Windows automation, with plans scaled by bot and server counts.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
TruBot is Datamatics’ robotic process automation platform for automating repetitive and complex business processes. It is aimed at mid-market and enterprise teams that need Windows desktop automation alongside tools for designing workflows, managing bots, and monitoring activity. The product is self-hosted, with TruBot Designer as a Windows desktop application and Cockpit accessed through a browser. Its mix of visual workflow design and attended or unattended bots suits organizations automating operational work across Windows interfaces.
Workflow authoring is the central strength: designers can assemble processes with drag-and-drop components, using flowcharts or sequences and conditional checks. Universal and desktop recorders support work with Windows user interfaces through Microsoft UI Automation and MSAA. After deployment, dashboards and operational analytics provide bot monitoring, while role-based access control and a credential vault address access management. TruPilot adds natural-language workflow assistance. These capabilities make TruBot a fit for teams that need to coordinate desktop bots and monitor their activity; organizations looking for a broader cross-platform automation focus may find its Windows emphasis limiting.
According to the vendor’s published plans, capacity scales from Starter with 4 bots, 2 attended servers, and 2 unattended servers, to Experience with 10 bots and 5 of each server type, Scale with 20 bots and 10 of each, and Enterprise with 50 bots and 25 of each. Pricing is available by speaking to sales, so buyers will need a sales conversation to assess cost. Integrations include GitHub, Team Foundation Server, Salesforce, Workato, and HTTP APIs. Email and documentation are the listed support channels. Choose TruBot when self-hosted Windows RPA and bot oversight are priorities; consider alternatives if published pricing or wider platform coverage is essential.
