Pros

  • Being your electronic employee...cost savings.
  • Foxtrot does not get task blind. It just continues to work and doesn't get tired of doing the same thing over and over.
  • The variety of building scripts. No two people will build a script the same way.
  • Foxtrot support is fantastic to deal with. If you get stuck on building a script where something doesn't work they always have a way around the issue.
  • Foxtrot runs in the background and can run while you complete your daily tasks.

Cons

  • Foxtrot reacts differently within each page of Navigator. On some pages, I have noticed misspellings of words. This functionality has improved, but we aren't quite there for 100% accuracy.
  • For what my bank uses Foxtrot for there really hasn't been an issue with functionality, as support can always work around any issues.
  • Foxtrot needs a stand-alone machine or virtual machine to work, as it is using your machine and keyboard as a human would. This isn't necessarily a downfall, but can be costly when you think of having a machine for each license or bot.

Return on Investment

  • I use Foxtrot daily. Most times three machines are going. If you calculate the cost of three licenses annually to what three employees would cost, the cost savings is immense.
  • Using Foxtrot to charge fees. When you use Foxtrot to access fees on accounts this is a savings in itself too. Not only are you able to get fee income, but you can add that on top of the employment savings.
  • Foxtrot does not get task blind like a human would. Humans, when they get task blind, tend to make mistakes. Foxtrot has a lower error rate than a human.

Pros

  • Automating repetitive data input tasks.
  • Allows for the development of quick solutions without the need for IT.
  • Provide robust functionality for the automation of manual tasks.

Cons

  • It could use better handling of emulator response times and states. For example, oftentimes the tool moves faster than the emulator can perform tasks and the whole process can crash, forcing the user to start over.
  • It could use a drag and drop workflow interface, which might make it easier to create complex scripts.

Return on Investment

  • As previously mentioned, Foxtrot has allowed us to become infinitely more efficient in handling mass maintenance scenarios within the organization. It has allowed us to go from development to deployment often within a couple of days including testing.
  • It has further allowed for the remote automation of manual tasks performed on a daily basis and freed up that time so that the resources can be more efficient within their functions and get more things done.
  • The tool has allowed for the creation of several template scripts that can be utilized anytime for similar situations, which has made us even more efficient in that the development of the script only happens one time and provides for infinite uses without any additional overhead.
