Executive SummaryUpdated on Mar 29, 2026

WorkFusion and OpenText Capture compete in the business process automation category, excelling in their respective fields. WorkFusion appears to have the upper hand due to its cognitive capabilities, although OpenText Capture's document-intensive task handling is formidable.

Features: WorkFusion's strengths include its flexibility, robust integrations with SAP and Microsoft 365, and scalability, enhanced by its machine learning and document processing capabilities. In contrast, OpenText Capture excels in OCR capabilities for document-intensive tasks like accounts payables and loan processing, offering integration with various channels including fax and mobile capture, making it a versatile choice for automation.

Room for Improvement: WorkFusion needs to enhance its ERP integration with SAP and improve user experience as well as low-code/no-code capabilities for non-technical users. It also requires improvements in OCR accuracy and processing speed. OpenText Capture should focus on simplifying its user interface and enhancing AI capabilities without adding complexity for developers, with considerations on licensing costs and expanding mobile capture features for better accessibility to smaller businesses.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: WorkFusion provides flexible deployment options, including on-premises and hybrid solutions, supported by responsive customer service that understands use cases well, especially for financial companies. However, frequent upgrades pose challenges. OpenText Capture offers similar deployment flexibility but experiences slower response times in customer service.

Pricing and ROI: WorkFusion is pricier than some competitors but considered cost-effective due to its efficiency and error reduction, delivering significant ROI. Its enterprise licensing model offers comprehensive solutions but could be more accessible for new users. OpenText Capture, while providing significant automation benefits for high-volume users, is seen as expensive, often restricting smaller businesses from leveraging its full potential due to licensing costs.

Management Consultant at Accenture

Has significantly improved document-driven workflows and reduced processing time across finance and HR functions

Automation Anywhere has evolved significantly and upgraded itself to provide agentic AI and AI-based automation solutions for document automation. The product has matured considerably over time. We can create workflows that can call an API. We can include prompts in particular workflows for ChatGPT-related functions, connecting to an LLM and RAG to perform tasks. For document automation, modern features are available to train documents, ensuring high accuracy and repeatability over time. The system is very easy to use. I recently completed a course in document automation, typically designed for people involved in coding and technical aspects. Though I understand coding comprehensively, I don't do actual coding. The course was very accessible. Currently, extensive coding isn't necessary due to the hybrid model incorporating GenAI aspects, low-code, no-code capabilities, APIs, and numerous pre-built objects in Automation Anywhere. The features include GenAI-driven prompting methods and workflow creation capabilities. In these workflows, we can create decision boxes and call APIs without coding. We simply pull objects, drop them, connect them, and add minimal coding when needed. The most crucial aspect isn't coding but rather sizing the automation and fleshing out the details. Automation Co-pilot takes notes and performs automated analysis. It can extract details from videos, summarize conversations, and provide detailed information. During calls, it identifies instructions and performs tasks such as preparing reports and reconciliation. Automation Anywhere can also connect with Microsoft Co-pilot. Through Co-pilot, real-time operations can be executed, allowing direct interaction between vendors and automation through this component.

Robust document capture boosts efficiency and integration options

The best features include multiple channel capabilities such as fax, different file transfers, and paper scans. It can be integrated with multiple channels and can capture images, even from mobile devices integrating into OpenText Capture. Currently, it has introduced AI for data extraction and document processing. OpenText Capture's impact on automating document-intensive tasks such as accounts payables or loan processing is significant. It has the capability to capture table structures or multiple line items from images, including line items and final amounts for invoice processing. The main benefits of OpenText Capture are particularly valuable when capturing content and extracting structured or unstructured data. This product can be integrated into any point-of-sale system, Salesforce, SAP, or other environments, reducing manual data entry and related tasks. This feature has helped organizations handle large volumes of data with precision, especially regarding resource consumption. The automation reduces human effort that would otherwise be required for classification and extraction tasks.

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

"It is easily understandable and very well structured."

"It's pretty simple and non-invasive."

"No other competitor has this email trigger, so it saves a lot of time if you automate the process. We don't need to fix a time for a task to run. It gives the feature of on demand execution for any task. Whenever a user wants, it can send a mail and get the task done as soon as possible."

"The bottom line is that it is extremely simple and developer-friendly."

"For a tool that can be fun to use and make people's job better on day one, that is the most valuable feature."

"They have an AI platform with GenAI implemented to help us generate anything that is necessary for automation."

"The bot creation process is relatively simple."

"With this innovative tool's automation, it is very dynamic, easy to develop, and deliver results quickly."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"It is a mature product and a leader in the industry."

"The automated version of the vendor invoice management is great, and it is helpful because it has reduced the human interaction in invoice processing."

"OpenText Intelligent Capture is pretty good."

"The enterprise and capturing feature of OpenText is its valuable feature. As we have integrated CRM with OpenText."

"It allows you to image capture, scan documents and use machine learning to automatically index and tie them."

"We use it to capture documents coming through our product and mobile channels and make them available for our business to access and email. We use it to automate the email workflow in our applications, pull the documents, and email them to the users."

"The main benefits of OpenText Capture are particularly valuable when capturing content and extracting structured or unstructured data, and this feature has helped organizations handle large volumes of data with precision, especially regarding resource consumption."

"The solution is very powerful because it allows for custom scripting."

More OpenText Capture pros

"WorkFusion has doubled our efficiency."

"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."

"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."

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

"WorkFusion helps us in automating our business processes, so it helps in many ways, including lowering the cost of delivery, reducing the cost of operations by employing fewer people, speeding up business processes, and improving employee morale, as people do not have to do repetitive work anymore."

"We can see that its competitive ability is quite good."

"If it is the first time a customer is a victim of fraud, he gets a refund within 10 to 15 minutes."

"The dashboard is the solution's most valuable feature; when clients want to look at the data it's very easy for them to do so, and the dashboard for the IT manager is very useful if there are issues and to create and follow processes."

More WorkFusion pros

Cons

"The workflow has a complex drag-and-drop interface that is not user-friendly and requires a good technical understanding, which can be challenging for users."

"The Excel part needs improvement because we use it as a database. Right now, we are using UiPath for this feature, as that RPA tool allows us to sort, search, and filter in Excel databases."

"They do not include the basic functionality of column headers in Excel worksheets. This is missing, and we need it."

"I would like more integration into the entire Microsoft Suite of products, not just Excel. Companies use all of Microsoft products at the same time, and being good at just one Microsoft tool is a limiting factor. Being able to use Microsoft Excel, Access, and Outlook together and have them integrated (as standard) into the tool would be very useful, especially when you go into attended automation."

"Getting the bot design into the developer's hands is taking longer than we initially anticipated."

"Regarding the pricing, I think it's high, and it's the same for the setup cost and licensing."

"IQ Bot is bad and needs a lot of tweaking."

"Queue management is still missing from the latest version which is a barrier to using the platform to start implementing complex cases where you have parent and child transactions going through multiple stages."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"The setup is medium complexity."

"The area for improvement primarily centers around licensing concerns rather than technical issues. Captiva, intended for larger clients, poses challenges for medium and small businesses due to licensing costs. The current licensing model is based on volume, such as purchasing a volume for one million dollars per year for scanning. This pricing structure may be prohibitive for companies with constrained budgets. Another aspect requiring attention is the mobile capture feature, which, although experiencing recent enhancements in intelligent document processing through AI, could benefit from further improvements. Specifically, there is room for enhancement in enabling users to efficiently capture documents using their smartphones."

"Knowledge of .NET is required to effectively use the solution or it can be complicated."

"I have not seen any return on investment from OpenText Capture."

"Its functionality is good, but it has to be made more accurate. If it is not customized and handheld properly, the recognition and captures won't be accurate."

"It can be more user-friendly, and it should also have more reporting capabilities. There are also a few other things that need improvement."

"We are using it to improve the image and the documentation for the cases. And sometimes, some cases have more than fifteen different types. We use some tools as fixed standard analysis and provide information to support the different types to take some decisions and help in an automated process. We choose the case type and subtype DNS scanning documents from the data entry up."

"I would say what most of the document management solutions are lacking is smartness to detect the duplicate storage of the documents."

More OpenText Capture cons

"I would not recommend this product for large automation projects because it gave us problems in terms of space and the speed at which it was executing."

"We are having some database issues, but we are addressing them."

"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."

"It is difficult for non-technical users to use WorkFusion. If we really want to build automation, we definitely need Java developers."

"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."

"I would rate the product as seven out of 10. It is definitely not a nine or 10 because there are certain shortcomings in it."

"If WorkFusion goes down, it is a big problem."

"This is an expensive solution. They have a very expensive license compared to any other automation tool."

More WorkFusion cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not too expensive, but there are many tools available in the market that can provide the same functionality at a cheaper price."

"Based on what I've heard, it's costly, but I don't know much about its pricing."

"It's very good in terms of cost and pricing."

"The licensing fees are approximately $10,000 USD for between five and ten users."

"It has good licensing costs which are average for the market."

"Pricing is too high for small-scale groups. The Control Room yearly fee is high, making it difficult to break even."

"Pricing is a bit high when compared to other available tools; however, the tool is worth the cost."

"We were paying approximately $30,000 for a year license."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"OpenText is an expensive solution."

"Some customers say the solution can get costly because it requires licenses or enterprise packages."

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

"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."

"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."

"We are on an annual contract to use the solution."

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

"One upgrade took a year to do, from the first server being built to the last bot being migrated. This was because we had to migrate all our existing bots. This is the same process and time frame that we are expecting towards the upcoming upgrade. I will end up spending half a million dollars to do an upgrade."

"I can't speak to pricing. It's a contract signed by upper management."

"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."
