We performed a comparison between Automation Anywhere (AA) and WorkFusion based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"I consider the verification station very useful because it allows you to quickly check if the data extracted are correct or if you need to change the process."
"Scalability is one of the best things about most of the RPA bots. Once you create one, scalability is just about multiplying them."
"The integrations with the OCR engines in Automation Anywhere are quite powerful. It has helped us in many projects."
"The technical support is good. If it is required that they provide their resources, they will send their resources to your organization to support you in terms of development and technical support."
"By using its AI & ML capabilities, we have solved many problems for our clients."
"What I like about Automation Anywhere is the object cloning and the way you can move the mouse and either go to a particular point or go to an element. That's very easy and intuitive in Automation Anywhere... If I need to mimic a human behavior, I will use Automation Anywhere."
"The Bot Store is an online library where anybody can find variously developed, production-ready bots."
"Bot creation is a cool feature. It allows the developer to do complex things."
"This solution has great document recognition capabilities."
"The dashboard is the solution's most valuable feature. When clients want to look at the data it's very easy for them to do so. The dashboard for the IT manager is very useful if there are issues and to create and follow processes."
"The tool itself is easy. I started using it without really having any coding experience... After just a few clicks, it was doing reconciliations for me."
"Their robots have increased the rate of efficiency by two to five times in our organization. There is still a human element to code out the package running the robots. You can't just click something and have it run. However, once that has been done, you can parallelize it 10 or 100 times in a fairly straightforward manner."
"It's a pretty robust product."
"The most valuable features are the Excel activities. It has a number of Excel activities that are quite reliable."
"The most valuable feature is that it is easy to use."
"The cognitive features of this solution are good."
"The debugger is also a weakness of the tool, forcing the developer to use error handling or message box to map errors. Few applications take more time for loading when integrated."
"Though IQ Bot is the most powerful and effective cognitive OCR platform for data extraction in the market, still, there is a lot of scope for improvement as there are a lot of non-standard documents which do not give a high straight-through processing rate and accuracy."
"We need more commands for PDF integration to make it more flexible."
"Setup and deployment of this product could be difficult for those without experience. These processes should be made easier."
"One area where I think there's an opportunity to do things a lot better is in the analytics function. They do have a concept or product called Bot Insights. It hasn't worked for us. It isn't as plug and play as we were led to believe, which is unfortunate. I can absolutely understand the value, and the demonstrations that I've seen of Bot Insights are sensational. But, we just haven't been able to make it work. We've invested a lot of time and effort trying to make it work to no avail."
"I feel A2019 is still not completely ready and the discontinuing of version 11 is a negative impact for all of the users and clients."
"I have had a couple of crashes and issues."
"The solution should include an analytics dashboard. As the space is maturing, many vendors sell functionalities as separate components so this is not unique to the solution."
"It is complex for enterprise implementation. The solution needs a needs minimum, of 20-22 servers. It's no small task. This is not a straightforward setup. It's a large undertaking and there are many moving parts."
"There could be better version control through their web platform. That is something that could be improved on. Integration from the IDE, e.g., from WorkFusion Studio directly into Control Tower, would be nice to have too."
"If we're talking from a developer perspective, the task of actually building automation is not ideal. That's not their strong side."
"The solution is not user-friendly, this is something they should improve."
"It should integrate with more ERP solutions like SAP. It doesn't currently have that ability."
"The problem with the solution is that it is agnostic, so it's not made for banks. Sometimes we are challenged because of this. We have to make everything from scratch to make it work for our clients."
"There is enhanced functionality I would like to see, things that would further enhance the user experience, deliver greater efficiencies, and further mitigate risk."
"One thing we didn't like was their OCR solution. We felt it's somewhat inefficient."
