It allows for easy scaling, especially with ECS service configurations.
WorkFusion is efficient for structured automation tasks with predefined templates and clear documentation.
The number of bots currently running on the platform should be more than 1,000, including RPA and non-RPA bots.

WorkFusion is generally reliable with effective support, but faces challenges in memory usage, infrastructure, and high-volume task stability.
There haven't been any significant outages in my experience with Camunda.
I frequently face issues with infrastructure and some WorkFusion-related problems, such as login issues.
WorkFusion requires a strong background in Java to meet requirements effectively.
Some stability problems may arise from processes that have not been designed or coded properly, leading to glitches.
 

Room For Improvement

Camunda's platform faces user dissatisfaction due to poor user-friendliness, documentation, performance, and costly licensing, needing significant improvements.
WorkFusion needs ERP integration, user-friendly features, codeless options, improved ML and OCR, plus accessible global training.
There is an issue where, in some situations, I need to scale up by observing both CPU and memory usage of containers, yet under the current options available at Amazon, this is not possible.
More open documentation would be beneficial to understand the deployment process better and facilitate easier setup.
In low-code automation, most parts are not customizable, particularly when Excel is involved, which increases complexity.
WorkFusion requires a high level of Java knowledge for programming, making it quite technical.
 

Setup Cost

Camunda provides cost-effective enterprise licenses, though costs can rise with usage, posing concerns for smaller companies.
WorkFusion is costly but offers unlimited licenses for some, making it worthwhile for enterprise-scale deployments despite complex pricing.
For some services, such as hosting databases, Google is really expensive.
There is a licensing cost for using the SaaS model and Enterprise edition of Camunda.
Currently, I would rate their pricing around two, as WorkFusion's cloud version seems costly compared to others.
I am not familiar with the exact pricing, however, it is considered pricey.
It is worth the money as a tool.
 

Valuable Features

Camunda offers flexible, lightweight architecture supporting BPMN, CMMN, and DMN, with user-friendly, non-programmer interfaces and seamless integration.
WorkFusion offers robust automation with user-friendly features, comprehensive integrations, scalability, and efficient document processing capabilities.
EC2 makes scaling horizontally incredibly easy, especially when working under the ECS service.
It also supports reusable code components through Java, making it efficient for developers.
They provide an inbuilt Selenium framework and infrastructure that eases my workload, allowing me to write Java code and embed it within Groovy classes.
The platform now includes auto machine learning and AI capabilities.

FABIO NAGAO - PeerSpot reviewer
Reduces costs with hardware abstraction and simplifies scaling
There is an issue where, in some situations, I need to scale up by observing both CPU and memory usage of containers, yet under the current options available at Amazon, this is not possible. I have to choose between monitoring CPU or memory to scale my solution. Not every software is built for deployment as a container service, although the current architecture trend is changing this.
Shamus Cardon - PeerSpot reviewer
It has improved our accuracy since we are eliminating the human error element. There could be better version control through their web platform.
We only have our engineering team writing code and developing business processes since it is very technical. In terms of data extraction and training the ML models, we deployed that to our accounts payable department, which has fewer technical users than our engineering team. After a handful of training sessions, they were able to get in there and use it with decent accuracy. It could be better, but it is definitely better than nothing. One of the big upgrades that I know is happening in version 10 is an improvement to their tagging interface. That is definitely something that I am excited about to sort of reinvigorate our more non-technical users in information extraction from our documents. 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.
