Likelihood to Recommend ANTstein needs no code or minimal programming. This makes the assigning tasks to bots much easier without wasting time. ANTstein in very useful in performing rule-based tasks. For some tasks and special cases, human assistance is still needed to make decisions.
Read full review I use Foxtrot for maintenance purposes. It is very well suited for this type of activity. To have someone change a responsibility code on 1000 accounts is monotonous and time-consuming. Foxtrot just runs in the background while you continue your daily tasks. Less suited is if maintenance on several thousand accounts is required in one day. There needs to be planning involved to make sure that scripts are run through and validations are done by a specific date.
Read full review Pros First: Being accoladed by infomationweek.com as a cognitive tool for machine learning and analytics, challenges repeated tasks to complete within no time, thus called AI based RPA. It understands the category of data and segregates the data into structured and semi-unstructured. Thus, it helps in achieving cognitive tasks in Image and pattern recognition. OCR capabilities make it compete with other RPA in the market. Its business pillars lie in Business Process as a Service (BPAAS) and Technology as a Service (TAAS). I used to integrate Zoho CRM, SugarCRM and FreshSales CRM with YellowAnt bot. Oauth 2.0 and token management play an important role in Antworks. The best part of the Antworks is that they have queenbotâ„¢ which makes colonies and give birth to threads to work on different computers and machines to automate a single and repetitive task.

Read full review Cons The OCR tool can be improved for multiple languages so as to recognize local fonts and for faster processing. Screen scraping is not accurate. Sometimes it shows special characters for unrecognized fonts. Computer Vision and Machine learning could be more accurate with training data and adaptive models. Read full review Could be a bit more user-friendly. Program not freezing up because of web site performance. Easier error checking. Read full review Likelihood to Renew Foxtrot is the best data automation software on the market. Especially for the price and cost savings. I have been able to do so much data integrity clean up over the years to keep our system clean.
Read full review Support Rating ANTstein is designed to automate the entire business process rather than merely a single discrete task. Leveraging fractal networks, rather than neural network technology, ANTstein is able to use relatively small data sets to train the engine thus enabling faster training, testing, deployment and execution of business processes.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Mostly we use data scraping tools and then take deep insights from the extracted data. Till now, we were unable to perform automation after scraping the data with the above-mentioned tools. But using ANTworks, we can automate the complete process. Our mainstream work process looks like: Twitter Hashtag extraction > Saving the scraped data to CSV > Importing the CSV in Python > Natural Language Understanding / NLTK in python > Creating pos/neg columns > giving positive and negative insights using analysis.
Read full review Foxtrot does not have nearly as much in terms of functionality and workflow tools. It is primarily meant for automating and creating scripts that help with mainframe-based maintenance and migration tasks. In addition, it is very efficient in simulating the actions of an individual for daily and manual tasks. We selected Foxtrot because it was the tool that was recommended by the main vendor we needed to interface with, and industry-wide it was the main tool being used by other financial institutions with similar platforms to perform the tasks that we bought the platform to perform.
Read full review Return on Investment Positive: Robotics Process Automation with AI and self-learning eases repeated tasks. Even when data structure changes, ANTstein handles by itself Negative: It shoes special characters when input fonts are not available in the system. Sometimes it becomes difficult to handle local language fonts. Positive: Detect text and non-text content in screen scraping, and web scraping with replication accuracy using OCR and Data Scraping.
