Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 4, 2024

WorkFusion and Robocorp compete in the automation software category. WorkFusion appears to have an upper hand in enterprise capabilities, while Robocorp excels in flexibility for AI and data science.

Features: WorkFusion provides robust SAP integrations, excels in document processing with OCR and machine learning, and offers comprehensive enterprise automation features suitable for RPA, ML, and cognitive automation. Robocorp's Python-based platform enhances flexibility, making it ideal for custom development and AI tasks, along with user-friendly integration and scalability.

Room for Improvement: WorkFusion can improve ERP integrations, user accessibility for non-technical users, and simplify its infrastructure to reduce complexity and costs. Document tagging and processing speed, particularly for unstructured text, also need enhancement. Robocorp should expand its library of standard functions, increase user-friendliness with drag-and-drop features, and offer better integration tools for less technical teams to improve deployment and usability.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: WorkFusion provides varied deployment options, such as on-premises and hybrid cloud, but faces challenges with complex setups and resource-heavy requirements. Despite these, it has strong customer service though occasionally slow. Robocorp, available on public and private clouds, emphasizes straightforward deployment via its cloud-based nature and is praised for fast and helpful support, yet lacks some enterprise-critical features for highly integrated solutions.

Pricing and ROI: WorkFusion's pricing is perceived as high, offering substantial efficiency gains and ROI mainly for large-scale operations, with potential for mid-tier pricing adjustment. Robocorp's pay-as-you-go pricing model is affordable and flexible, particularly favoring small and medium-sized businesses, offering a cost-effective alternative compared to UiPath.

Anabel Marco

Account Director at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

Automates processes efficiently with cost-effective scaling and robust customer support

Web scraping is quite good since it offers a lot of possibilities. Another important feature for me is its compatibility with MBI, the Power that is ISEQUADO Centers. I appreciate the ability to scale and increase the number of bots or studios without additional expense. Automate's non-reliance on additional orchestrators makes it quite cost-effective.

Sumedin Bilalic

Lead RPA developer at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees

Has a straightforward initial setup process and good technical support services

Adapting to Robocorp is initially challenging, especially compared to drag-and-drop automation tools like Automation Anywhere and UiPath. Writing actual code in Visual Studio Code gives freedom but also requires a learning curve. If you don't have experience with programming languages like Python, it would take six to twelve months to learn. However, once proficient, it enables faster development cycles and the ability to achieve more than traditional tools allow.

Arijit-Ghosh

Intelligent Automation SME at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

Cloud platform orchestrates business processes with AI capabilities

I find the capabilities that a normal orchestrator should have to be valuable in WorkFusion. The WorkFusion 10 cloud-based platform is different from the earlier on-prem version, WorkFusion 9. The platform now includes auto machine learning and AI capabilities. We haven't used these extensively, but they are a nice feature they are working on. The platform remains stable with well-designed processes, despite being a complex and technical tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I find the ease of use from a programming perspective very valuable."

"The solution is continuously adding more integrations to help with workflows and bot and task creation."

"A great feature that you seldom see in these kind of systems is the ability to use a database as trigger to launch a task. This is something I asked for a few years ago and that was added."

"The most valuable features for my client are timing and scheduling."

"I actually quite liked the no-coding functionality."

"The most valuable features of Fortra's Automate include its FTP functionality and file manipulation capabilities."

"The product effectively handles all the tasks we require."

"This product is quite easy to install, learn, and use, with our new employees being able to start using it in projects for clients after only two weeks of internal training."

More Automate pros

"I like the fact that it's very fast. The processing speed is good, and that's what matters to me. I also like that we don't have to bother with the infrastructure setup. We don't have to care about the status of the data set, as I believe the local group will provide it. We don't care about the licensing model. We only have to care about how long we are using it."

"I can use it as a library by importing Python scripts, allowing me to access its many features while working with coding."

"The process execution and all features are very good."

"It supports Python runtime because of that, runtime also improves."

"Robocorp is based on Python, so you can use Python scripts and create libraries for your use cases. Building libraries and custom scripts for a particular client and general use cases is easy. We can reuse those scripts for other clients, so we start seeing benefits quickly."

"The product has a valuable business process automation feature."

"It offers high scalability and enables automation in ways that haven't been possible before."

"The ability to create separate organizations on this platform makes it easier to bill each of the clients separately."

More Robocorp pros

"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."

"It really does help by either freeing up people's time to focus on more value-added tasks or reducing headcount. We generally have other things that we can get people to do, helping make the employees' work more meaningful since they are not having to do the mundane stuff."

"We recommend different solutions based on our customers' needs, and WorkFusion is what we offer for those who need a premium solution."

"The most valuable features are the recorder because it's user-friendly and the integration with other tools Excel."

"The customer support is very responsive."

"For automating mundane activities, I can recommend WorkFusion."

"We have seen Workfusion improve on accuracy and compliance... With the Workfusion model, we reduce human error and the need for further QC. We switch more to a QA process where we're testing whether the model is effective."

"In our opinion this group are the leaders in providing RPA solutions."

More WorkFusion pros

Cons

"The OCR for Hebrew text needs to be improved."

"I find that most important features are strong, however, there is a lack of good development for artificial intelligence, such as machine learning."

"It's possible that they could use a stronger community for seeking guidance and help."

"Regarding customer support, I face challenges sometimes. They're not always available, and you may need to wait for assistance, but overall their support is acceptable."

"Some companies have asked for voice integration. This is likely part of the roadmap."

"The product also has a limited use case in some respects."

"I would like to see some better web automation, a wizard like the one in the product WinAutomation would be very nice."

"I currently have three bugs open with them that I don't know if they are addressed in the new release."

More Automate cons

"Robocorp is still in development, so most of the keywords are a bit confusing. I have to alter lots of automation steps between processing and development. However, Selenium is due for an update soon, and Robcorp is addressing some of the limitations caused by the previous Selenium version."

"We use the latest version of the process studio and it takes up a lot of CPU storage. In our case, this has been up to 14 GB of storage."

"There are certain libraries in Python, such as those dealing with PDF automation and word files, that require the presence of certain external dependencies in the environment to be successfully used."

"The deployment process is complex and not straightforward, especially for legacy modernization."

"They should fully develop Robocorp Studio because it would attract a lot of people to the Robocorp platform."

"An additional feature I'm looking for in Robocorp is SAP automation."

"The platform's documentation could be better."

"The standard libraries in Robocorp should be more advanced."

More Robocorp cons

"On a scale of 1 - 10 I would rate them a 6. That's not low - that 60%. But as I said, it needs to be upgraded and modified."

"We would like to see further improvement in the area of running headless."

"I would like it if they provided a more detailed roadmap in terms of where they are going with the product. As we are trying to make decisions about the things that we are going to do to try to augment our capabilities, we could know whether they are thinking about the same things or not."

"So far, we have developed only one automation using machine learning. The results were less than optimal. Part of this could be because of the use case that was selected. Overall, our experience was suboptimal. WorkFusion was an outstanding partner in terms of providing their experts for free to help us on that particular use case, but we still have a lot of things to figure out in terms of how to use its machine learning capability."

"The user experience could be better both from an RPA perspective and from a business perspective."

"Where it can be improved is the speed. I built two bots, one with WorkFusion and the same thing with Python. My feeling was that the speed at which Python did things, how fast it did them, was quite cool. It was faster."

"The most common issue we have is with the OCR, but that also depends on the quality of the documents your scanning. Still, I would say the OCR is comparable to other solutions. I wouldn't say it's better or worse than other OCR engines."

"The product needs to be "simple and easy" to use. A good example of this is the use of Python code to perform automations. It is free and the skills transfer is able to happen quickly and the operation and initiation of the completed automation is easy to execute."

More WorkFusion cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Once you buy the software, you just pay for the support for backend help."

"I believe the price falls within a reasonable range, which significantly influenced our decision regarding the product. This aspect is crucial for any technological solution, especially in our country where enterprises might be hesitant to invest heavily in something untested or uncertain about its practicality and potential returns."

"It has gone up in price. The price of Fortra's Automate has increased since we first started using it. It does a lot but also costs a lot. It was a lot more affordable before Fortra owned the software."

"I like the way this solution is priced because you can buy a license, or you can buy the software outright."

"From a distributor's perspective, one of the biggest selling points of Automate is its price point."

"From a distributor's side, one of the biggest selling points is its price point. Without going into any numbers, compared to UiPath, Automation Anywhere, and Blue Prism, we're significantly cheaper. The main difference is that other competitors usually charge you per process. However, in Automate's case, it's priced per bot. So, a bot can run multiple processes at the same time, but you are only priced for a single bot."

"The pricing is quite reasonable. We can run the process with one bot. The limitation is at the server level because they have some resources, and sometimes that is enough. It isn't too expensive, so you can get a good return off of one, and you can also have a pack of five bots that is quite competitive."

"While solutions like UiPath and Blue Prism cost around $11,000-$12,000 for each license, this product costs around $7,000 and you can keep it forever."

More Automate pricing and cost advice

"You don't have to pay for the license. You have to pay for the time you use it."

"In terms of licenses, there is a return on investment in that area."

"The price is cheaper than other competitors. I would rate the cost as one out of five."

"Robocorp is much better in terms of pricing compared to UiPath."

"The solution is a very affordable price."

"The pricing is fine."

"It's a cost-effective solution."

"The product has good pricing."

"My client is using RPA Express, which is available for them to use free of charge."

"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."

"Find it online."

"We have a good deal from WorkFusion. We have an unlimited global licensing deal with WorkFusion. For us, it is a no-worry solution. We can go ahead and use it as much as possible anywhere we need it. If WorkFusion has a different kind of a deal for licensing with others, then their business decisions need to be evaluated based on that."

"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."

"The pricing is fair because WorkFusion's out-of-the-box solution is appealing."

"It is not the most expensive solution, but it is also not the cheapest."

"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."
