# MARFI vs RPA Process Mining

> Compare MARFI workflow mining with RPA and process mining tools for desktop-level work telemetry and AI training data.

RPA and enterprise process mining often start from system logs or automation targets. MARFI starts from the machine where work happens, capturing app, website, action, system, and optional visual context.

## Audience

Automation, operations, and transformation teams evaluating process discovery tools.

## Search Intent

Compare MARFI workflow mining with RPA process mining and desktop process discovery.

## Traditional process mining often sees the system of record.

ERP, CRM, and ticketing logs are valuable, but they miss the local workarounds, browser steps, desktop tools, and manual transitions that shape a user's day.

## MARFI captures the work surface.

Because the sensor runs on enrolled machines, MARFI can reveal work paths across apps and sites, not just events already instrumented in enterprise systems.

## The same observations can become training data.

When a recurring workflow is worth automating or modeling, Trajectory can convert eligible sessions into state-action-state examples for training and evaluation.

## FAQ

### Is MARFI an RPA tool?

No. MARFI is telemetry, analytics, workflow mining, and AI training-data infrastructure. It can help identify automation candidates.

### Can MARFI see workflows outside enterprise systems?

Yes. MARFI observes enrolled machines, so it can see cross-app and browser-based work patterns when allowed by consent tiers.
