Foxtrot RPA (discontinued) vs. Robot Framework

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.

It suits for checking features of a simple web application or features that don't heavily rely on AJAX. You could create tests that check if application is running properly and raise alarm if required so someone can manually check for problems. However making big test sets to produce reliable results may prove to be difficult or impossible. Also running lots of test cases can take hours.

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.

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.
