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

"Productivity increased far more than thirty percent."
"The most valuable features I have found to be the screen scraping and the integration with third-party solutions."
"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 solution is very manageable."
"One of the most valuable features is the solution's simple automation regarding object cloning and strings variables."
"It is easy to use and very stable. It is a rugged product, and it doesn't break so easily."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which helps to provide a good user experience."
"They recently released the newest version that has a good program flow, quality, and blueprints that are all good improvements to the automation. They also have good integration with SAP."
"It is useful that WorkFusion provides the entire infrastructure, which allows me to focus on writing code without worrying about maintenance."
"The dashboard is the solution's most valuable feature. When clients want to look at the data it's very easy for them to do so. The dashboard for the IT manager is very useful if there are issues and to create and follow processes."
"The most valuable features are the Excel activities. It has a number of Excel activities that are quite reliable."
"The document processing engine is good. We're extracting around 70 data points from a given document, and we have an automated extraction rate of 80 percent for those fields."
"The platform remains stable with well-designed processes, despite being a complex and technical tool."
"In terms of stability, it's quite good. It's an internal IP product."
"The solution is stable, we have not had any glitches or problems."
"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

"Sometimes I feel like it doesn't work properly and we are not able to provide the dexterity needed."
"I would like to see more process mining features to give us insight into them before we develop automation."
"I would like to have access to self-service support."
"It would be ideal if the solution offered more language options, such as Arabic."
"We do have some troubles with the internal software commands, but we have been troubleshooting this bug to fix it."
"The solution doesn't have support like they used to. They need support. We have personnel of our own, but sometimes we need assistance beyond our own team."
"The solution automation is incapable of interacting with our Pega software application development. It is based on the nested table concept and it is unable to read these tables. Several projects have been put on hold because of that."
"An area for improvement in BotFarm is that the communication between the Control Room and the Bot Client Missions isn't utilized well. There's also the issue with PCI DSS compliance or certain regulations that require a set of configurations that are not fully supported by BotFarm. The product should be certified or designed according to the required regulations in the finance industry to make it better."
"Machine learning models for document-heavy processes have room for improvement because they require significant effort to train and update."
"I would also like for it to be NLP-based."
"It should integrate with more ERP solutions like SAP. It doesn't currently have that ability."
"It is difficult for non-technical users to use WorkFusion. If we really want to build automation, we definitely need Java developers. Their RPA is not for non-technical people. If I look at competing products, like Automation Anywhere, UiPath, Blue Prism, or even Power Automate, a non-technical person can build basic automations and deploy them. Since non-technical people can easily build basic automations, they can be deployed in no time. With WorkFusion, there isn't a similar feature that works well. One needs to write code from scratch to build automation. That is definitely a deterrent if we really want to do quick, dirty automation. I would not rate WorkFusion very high on their no-code, low-code paradigm. In this area, I would definitely expect them to improve."
"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."
"We are having some database issues, but we are addressing them."
"The user experience could be better both from an RPA perspective and from a business perspective."
"This is a Java-based application that takes up a lot of space and when it runs, consumes a lot of memory. This affects the reliability because it gets to a point where it hangs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is too expensive and not worth the price."
"I think payment can vary but it's a re-occurring fee that needs to be paid every year."
"The licensing is on a monthly basis."
"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."
"I am very happy with the pricing."
"Licenses are paid on a yearly basis and the cost is quite high."
"We pay approximately $15,000 USD per year."
"The product is slightly expensive"
"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."
"We are on an annual contract to use the solution."
"It is not the most expensive solution, but it is also not the cheapest."
"Find it online."
"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."
"I can't speak to pricing. It's a contract signed by upper management."
"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."
