Automation has streamlined client data extraction and has improved reporting for business decisions
I work as a developer, and my manager is responsible for the research and analytics for the project with the client and business users. I am satisfied with BotFarm. I would rate my experience with BotFarm an eight out of ten. I do not see any room for improvement for BotFarm. I am using AI tools such as Amazon, Microsoft Azure, and ChatGPT. I am not using AI-powered bots in BotFarm. I am a partner with Automation Anywhere.

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

"BotFarm is an easy solution to use and the interface is better than older versions."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which helps to provide a good user experience."
"The entire backend system structure is something that I found really valuable."
"What I like most about BotFarm is that it's one of the leading RPA products in the market. Very few products focus on robotics today, so I like that BotFarm offers a lot in terms of what general customers expect it to do."
"BotFarm by Automation Anywhere is great for building bots."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"I use it in my client project to extract data and communicate it for business purposes."
"From a solution standpoint, screen capture and tight integration with Outlook are valuable features."
"For automating mundane activities, I can recommend WorkFusion."
"RPA, as a whole, is an amazing product within WorkFusion when it comes to deploying at scale."
"The most valuable feature is having the technology to interface into systems where we didn't otherwise have an API or some other kind of service or access."
"In terms of stability, it's quite good."
"I would definitely recommend WorkFusion because I think over the last six months it has matured and it is stable."
"The Robotic Desktop Automation Express component allows us to do rapid development outside the normal, time-consuming processes."
"If you compare it to its competitors in the market, it is more Java-native."
"It's a pretty robust product; it comes packaged with ELK Stack, Elasticsearch, Kibana, and Logstash, and it has a lot of monitoring capabilities that we're taking advantage of."
 

Cons

"Sometimes I feel like it doesn't work properly and we are not able to provide the dexterity needed."
"An area for improvement in BotFarm is that the communication between the Control Room and the Bot Client Missions isn't utilized well."
"IQ Bot, used by BotFarm, needs to be improved with respect to being able to read handwritten documents using the OCR."
"The machine learning needs to be improved so that they perform better in terms of predictive analysis and sentiment analysis."
"The new version is not very stable. Sometimes I can't use the recording sound."
"The dashboard needs improvement. For Bot Farm, the visualization is not that good compared to the main Automation Anywhere dashboard."
"The licensing schemes could be more competitive."
"The deployment could be simplified."
"A better graphical user interface that allows business users to perform automation would make this solution number one in the market."
"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."
"The solution is not user-friendly, this is something they should improve."
"We are having some database issues, but we are addressing them."
"In low-code automation, most parts are not customizable, particularly when Excel is involved, which increases complexity. The system can break down, requiring numerous exception cases, thus complicating workflow creation."
"A better graphical user interface that allows business users to perform automation would make this solution number one in the market."
"On a scale of 1 - 10 I would rate them a 6. That's not low - that 60%. But as I said, it needs to be upgraded and modified."
"The user experience could be better both from an RPA perspective and from a business perspective."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is quite high as compared to other solutions, but it has a lot of features and good stability. They should reduce its price."
"There is a license for this solution and it is on an annual basis. I am satisfied with the price."
"The solution prices are expensive. It would be more beneficial for customers to lower the pricing."
"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."
"The starter price is free."
"The product is slightly expensive"
"It is too expensive and not worth the price."
"I am very happy with the pricing."
"The overall cost could come down a bit in terms of maintaining the servers. Because it can handle complicated things in big use cases, the infrastructure is also correspondingly big. It would be nice to bring that cost down."
"My client is using RPA Express, which is available for them to use free of charge."
"It is not the most expensive solution, but it is also not the cheapest."
"In addition to the licensing fee, there is also an implementation cost for each use case and technical support costs."
"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."
"They have a very expensive license compared to any other automation tool. For instance, at $50,000 - $60,000, you can bring in an Automation Anywhere solution. For this solution, you need at least $250,000 to get something going."
"The pricing is fair because WorkFusion's out-of-the-box solution is appealing."
"I can't speak to pricing. It's a contract signed by upper management."
