Offers a user-friendly interface but lacks enterprise-level features
EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is not difficult to deploy and the process was fine. Concerning deployment time, it usually takes one or two days. It totally depends upon the number of use cases and the processes where we are implementing. It might take weeks as well, depending upon the process in which we are implementing.

Enhance task automation through efficient processing of email and document workflows
WorkFusion works well with Microsoft 365, especially Outlook, allowing for efficient processing of multiple emails at once. Code automation is robust, enabling processing of multiple emails in a single transaction. It also supports reusable code components through Java, making it efficient for developers. WorkFusion has clear documentation that facilitates training.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The tool follows a role-based working model to create things. It helps to track what others are doing with the system."
"AssistEdge made it so that the reps didn't need to maneuver through 10 or 20 different systems. We tied all that together in the background, so the reps had a shared UI, and everything else happened in the background without their knowledge. When they were retrieving data, it was done in the background through automation and pulling up to that generic UI layer"
"There are some typical features I like such as email automation, XL automation, some AI/ML capabilities that are evolving, but are not quite mature yet, and I like the website automation."
"Good email automation and XL automation."
"The feature I like the most is the ability to capture elements easily, especially when automating web-based applications. Additionally, I find the SAP connectors to be quite beneficial."
"EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is more affordable than UiPath."
"The features of EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA that customers find most helpful include the easy understanding and good UI/UX."
"The user interface is not complicated, even for new users. Two to three weeks is enough to get ahold of it."
"The most valuable features are the recorder because it's user-friendly and the integration with other tools Excel."
"If you compare it to its competitors in the market, it is more Java-native."
"Before WorkFusion, my processes were all manual, and now the Workfusion model reduces the amount of time my analysts have to spend reviewing client profiles against client documentation, brings greater efficiency and reduced costs, should reduce our processing time by about 25 percent, and improves our accuracy and compliance by reducing human error and the need for further QC."
"We need to analyze documents in order to understand them. We don't need to dedicate much time to this because WorkFusion's machine learning capabilities are very good. We can easily extract information and classify these documents. The document processing engine is very important to our organization because it is the center for many use cases, as we need to control the information contained in documents."
"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."
"If it is the first time a customer is a victim of fraud, he gets a refund within 10 to 15 minutes."
"In terms of stability, it's quite good. It's an internal IP product."
 

Cons

"In my opinion, areas for improvement in this solution lie in handling documentation, especially when dealing with data from various layouts or formats like scanned PDFs. Currently, new features are emerging in other tools, like generative AI, that could enhance these aspects."
"We provide them with consulting and strategy advisory services, but we have never recommended any organization to use EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA."
"Lacks integration with third party tools."
"We provide them with consulting and strategy advisory services, but we have never recommended any organization to use EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA."
"AssistEdge isn't a simple tool like Blue Prism or other RPA solutions with configurable items that you can drag and drop. This involved a lot of hard coding, which posed two challenges. One, we did not have that skillset, so we depended on Infosys. Two, it's a beast to go back and update or make changes when things are hard coded because you can't just move those configurable items back around."
"There should be more activities like extraction for reading or converting PDFs. There are fewer activities compared to other tools. There are no custom activities."
"The solution could be improved if it provided integration with third party tools like Python, native integration, which is very important."
"The tool's alternatives work on drag-and-drop functionality without creating custom code. We don't have an in-built queue system and use RabbitMQ for it. The solution also doesn't have a framework."
"The express version does not do API calls and the Enterprise version does not do codeless coding."
"It is difficult for non-technical users to use WorkFusion. If we really want to build automation, we definitely need Java developers. Their RPA is not for non-technical people. If I look at competing products, like Automation Anywhere, UiPath, Blue Prism, or even Power Automate, a non-technical person can build basic automations and deploy them. Since non-technical people can easily build basic automations, they can be deployed in no time. With WorkFusion, there isn't a similar feature that works well. One needs to write code from scratch to build automation. That is definitely a deterrent if we really want to do quick, dirty automation. I would not rate WorkFusion very high on their no-code, low-code paradigm. In this area, I would definitely expect them to improve."
"I would like WorkFusion to improve the automation rate when evaluating unstructured text."
"One thing we didn't like was their OCR solution. We felt it's somewhat inefficient."
"There is enhanced functionality I would like to see, things that would further enhance the user experience, deliver greater efficiencies, and further mitigate risk."
"I would rate the stability as four out of ten. I frequently face issues with infrastructure and some WorkFusion-related problems, such as login issues."
"A better graphical user interface that allows business users to perform automation would make this solution number one in the market."
"I would also like for it to be NLP-based."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is cheaper compared to other RPA tools."
"The solution was not the cheapest, but it was also not the most expensive. Workfusion was very open to negotiating pricing and to working within the objectives of our firm."
"In addition to the licensing fee, there is also an implementation cost for each use case and technical support costs."
"As a first-time customer who wants to engage with WorkFusion, not working for my company, then I would want to do a PoC. The cost is prohibitive because they will ask me to get infrastructure with six or seven servers. Then, you must buy a WorkFusion license to do a PoC, which is expensive. I would then have to set up a team to build the PoC and see the benefits. That is very prohibitive."
"They have a very expensive license compared to any other automation tool. For instance, at $50,000 - $60,000, you can bring in an Automation Anywhere solution. For this solution, you need at least $250,000 to get something going."
"My client is using RPA Express, which is available for them to use free of charge."
"The overall cost could come down a bit in terms of maintaining the servers. Because it can handle complicated things in big use cases, the infrastructure is also correspondingly big. It would be nice to bring that cost down."
"We are on an annual contract to use the solution."
"I can't speak to pricing. It's a contract signed by upper management."
