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.

Enhance task automation through efficient processing of email and document workflows
WorkFusion works well with Microsoft 365, especially Outlook, allowing for efficient processing of multiple emails at once. Code automation is robust, enabling processing of multiple emails in a single transaction. It also supports reusable code components through Java, making it efficient for developers. WorkFusion has clear documentation that facilitates training.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features of this solution are the Excel automation and support for SharePoint."
"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."
"The dashboards are quite good, especially on the latest versions."
"The solution is very stable. We don't have issues with bugs or glitches."
"The product has increased efficiency and reduced the time spent on tasks."
"One of the most valuable features is the solution's simple automation regarding object cloning and strings variables."
"The solution has very good processes. It's very easy to deploy and has good reviews on it. It offers good automation and the solution has very good developers working on it."
"The most valuable features are the recorder because it's user-friendly and the integration with other tools Excel."
"It really does help by either freeing up people's time to focus on more value-added tasks or reducing headcount. We generally have other things that we can get people to do, helping make the employees' work more meaningful since they are not having to do the mundane stuff."
"For automating mundane activities, I can recommend WorkFusion."
"In terms of stability, it's quite good. It's an internal IP product."
"It is useful that WorkFusion provides the entire infrastructure, which allows me to focus on writing code without worrying about maintenance."
"This solution has great document recognition capabilities."
"WorkFusion's RPA Express's ability to scale across multiple geographies with limited impact on additional IT Hardware requirements. This has enabled the scaling of Robotics capabilities and solutions across all our entities."
"WorkFusion helps by speeding up processes. The process takes time. It has business costs associated because there are people waiting to take the next steps in the process. The end result of waiting, whether it is an internal or external team, is that they are delayed. Therefore, it helps us in speeding up business processes and improving employee morale, as people don't have to do repetitive work anymore."
 

Cons

"The image processing capabilities definitely need to be improved."
"The stability needs to be improved."
"The solution can improve the accuracy of hand-written data reading"
"BotFarm newer version has been difficult to install, we have been in contact with the support on this matter."
"I would like to have access to self-service support."
"We have connectivity and integration with pretty much every single tech stack across the table that we have in the world, and there are a few areas that they don't do that well yet. I'd be looking for some improvement there, in terms of their integration with certain products."
"The deployment could be made a little bit easier."
"I have called customer service three times and the experience has not been good. They do not offer 24/7 support, which forces us to wait till the next working day to solve a problem."
"The user experience could be better both from an RPA perspective and from a business perspective."
"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."
"We are having some database issues, but we are addressing them."
"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."
"Machine learning models for document-heavy processes have room for improvement because they require significant effort to train and update."
"So far, we have developed only one automation using machine learning. The results were less than optimal. Part of this could be because of the use case that was selected. Overall, our experience was suboptimal. WorkFusion was an outstanding partner in terms of providing their experts for free to help us on that particular use case, but we still have a lot of things to figure out in terms of how to use its machine learning capability."
"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 would like to see further improvement in the area of running headless."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing model could be simplified."
"I am very happy with the pricing."
"Our licensing costs are approximately $3,000 USD annually."
"It is too expensive and not worth the price."
"The product is slightly expensive"
"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."
"I think payment can vary but it's a re-occurring fee that needs to be paid every year."
"The pricing is fair."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is fair because WorkFusion's out-of-the-box solution is appealing."
"My client is using RPA Express, which is available for them to use free of charge."
"In addition to the licensing fee, there is also an implementation cost for each use case and technical support costs."
"We are on an annual contract to use the solution."
