We performed a comparison between UiPath 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."UiPath is a no-code automation tool that saves me a lot of time when developing workflows."
"The product is well-integrated with different tools that can help with logging, et cetera."
"From jobs that require reading and processing emails, to jobs that require scraping information from web pages, this tool allows us to do anything that can be done by a human."
"I like the low-code/no-code approach and the graphical interface. Among all the RPA tools, UiPath is the one with the easiest interface."
"The product helps us establish and maintain best practices while simplifying workflows."
"It is very easy to use, and you still have a lot of possibilities to modify what you are trying to do and achieve."
"Time-saving is the biggest area that has improved for us. We had users spending lots of time trying to get data from a system and then creating a file that was going to be used for our auditing purposes, which then gets submitted online. We definitely found some issues where an end-user was pulling data from different sources and then storing that data with lots of human touching that created issues."
"When we would have a huge backlog, we would hire short-term employees for some of our cases. Now, we don't have to do that anymore."
"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."
"We can see that its competitive ability is quite good."
"WorkFusion helps by speeding up processes. The process takes time. It has business costs associated because there are people waiting to take the next steps in the process. The end result of waiting, whether it is an internal or external team, is that they are delayed. Therefore, it helps us in speeding up business processes and improving employee morale, as people don't have to do repetitive work anymore."
"In our opinion this group are the leaders in providing RPA solutions."
"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."
"The Robotic Desktop Automation Express component allows us to do rapid development outside the normal, time-consuming processes."
"It takes care of simple tasks so users can focus more on exceptions than on regular use cases. They only focus on orders where they need to handle an exception, some information was not given, or there is an issue that they had to focus on. The rest of it goes straight through without human touch. We want to see our employees as engineers, wherein they think and solve problems, not necessarily have to do repetitive tasks. I think WorkFusion helps with avoiding repetitive tasks."
"WorkFusion's SAP integrations are really good."
"The dashboard view could be more visually appealing. Dashboards in any software should stand out with colors, numbers, and other things, but in UiPath, the dashboard is not that visually appealing. The UiPath team could make it more visually appealing for us to get more insights."
"The should be more out-of-the-box models if UiPath keeps adding on."
"It was more difficult to use than we originally thought it was going to be. It's not as simple as drag and drop."
"Studio... only works on Windows. It doesn't work on other platforms. I'm a techie by background. I don't hate Windows but I don't love it. It comes with the limitation that it is completely dependent on Windows. I would have loved if it were available on Mac or Linux or Unix."
"We have mixed reviews for the technical support and depending on the topic, they will answer faster or slower, more personalized or not."
"I would like to see higher end AI type features natively in UiPath. Some native integration over time would help."
"I would like more flexibility during recording and debugging because currently, when UiPath is in debug mode, we cannot make any changes."
"They should include new machine learning and AI algorithms for better forecasting and analytics."
"We had some issues in the past, but it is fairly stable now. From what I hear, it is more stable in the later versions. With version 10.1.4, there were some issues relating to load distribution. However, it is good now."
"If we're talking from a developer perspective, the task of actually building automation is not ideal. That's not their strong side."
"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."
"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."
"We would like to see further improvement in the area of running headless."
"The product could do more to expand its 'codeless' coding options by adding drag-and-drop assistance in building bots for non-technical users."
"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."
"This is a Java-based application that takes up a lot of space and when it runs, consumes a lot of memory. This affects the reliability because it gets to a point where it hangs."
