Senior Rpa Consultant at Accely Consulting
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

"The system is stable and very little maintenance is required, assuming the bots process is perfectly designed."
"The most valuable features are PDF extraction and emailing."
"The most valuable features are the portals for extracting data from PDF files, appending data to SAP, automating the SAP, downloading reports, and mapping and creating the reports accordingly to your requirements."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution has been very user-friendly."
"The ability to drag and drop various components and the customizability are good features."
"There are not many challenges when setting up this solution, and there is a good amount of documentation to go with it."
"BotFarm is an easy solution to use and the interface is better than older versions."
"This product helps us by automating functions in finance, where users are able to have attended bots and save time by handing processes to the bots to run while they continue their own work."
"If it is the first time a customer is a victim of fraud, he gets a refund within 10 to 15 minutes."
"The most valuable features are the recorder because it's user-friendly and the integration with other tools Excel."
"For automating mundane activities, I can recommend WorkFusion."
"WorkFusion's RPA Express's ability to scale across multiple geographies with limited impact on additional IT Hardware requirements has enabled the scaling of Robotics capabilities and solutions across all our entities."
"The cognitive features of this solution are good."
"For automating mundane activities, I can recommend WorkFusion."
"From a business point of view, we have accomplished what we wanted to."
 

Cons

"The solution can improve the accuracy of hand-written data reading"
"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. They need to be much more flexible in their pricing."
"When somebody is just learning this product it can be difficult for them to understand, so improvements to the user interface would be helpful."
"The community forums can be improved a little bit because they have mixed solutions or discussions with respect to some ideas."
"The deployment could be made a little bit easier."
"The user experience could be made a little better with this solution. I find it difficult to find qualified people to be able to use the solution."
"The tool must execute remedial actions to resolve problems before they cause significant incidents."
"The problem with the solution is that it is agnostic, so it's not made for banks. Sometimes we are challenged because of this. We have to make everything from scratch to make it work for our clients."
"For me, where it can be improved is the speed. I built two bots, one with WorkFusion and the same thing with Python; my feeling was that the speed at which Python did things, how fast it did them, was quite cool, it was faster."
"I would rate the stability as four out of ten. I frequently face issues with infrastructure and some WorkFusion-related problems, such as login issues."
"Machine learning models for document-heavy processes have room for improvement because they require significant effort to train and update."
"We had some issues in the past, but it is fairly stable now. From what I hear, it is more stable in the later versions. With version 10.1.4, there were some issues relating to load distribution. However, it is good now."
"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."
"We have had some problems in the past with the Inspector tool that looks at the elements on the screen. Replacing it or improving it is needed."
"However, we've had use cases where we decided not to employ WorkFusion because it lacked capabilities that were important for the business processes in our company."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our licensing costs are approximately $3,000 USD annually."
"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."
"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."
"Pricing for this solution can be better."
"An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."
"The licensing is on a monthly basis."
"The pricing is fair."
"The pricing model could be simplified."
"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."
"Find it online."
"It is not the most expensive solution, but it is also not the cheapest."
"The pricing is fair because WorkFusion's out-of-the-box solution is appealing."
"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."
"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."
