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

"Their development interface is very easy to navigate."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the Excel automation and support for SharePoint."
"They recently released the newest version that has a good program flow, quality, and blueprints that are all good improvements to the automation, and they also have good integration with SAP."
"I use it in my client project to extract data and communicate it for business purposes."
"The scalability is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which helps to provide a good user experience."
"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 best aspect is the UI, as it is very user-friendly."
"From a business point of view, we have accomplished what we wanted to."
"Recently, our recons team was audited, and when the auditing was done, the process done by the reconciliation bot was the only process that was passed by the auditor."
"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."
"It is useful that WorkFusion provides the entire infrastructure, which allows me to focus on writing code without worrying about maintenance."
"A helpful feature is the analytics capability within WorkFusion. The analytics dashboards, i.e., their Tableau dashboards, are really helpful for building a business activity monitoring layer. These are very visible to senior management and stakeholders, who can see and know what is happening within processes. They can see what benefits are getting delivered as processes, either ;daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly. It is easy for stakeholders or senior management to understand the value for the money that they are spending."
"I would definitely recommend WorkFusion because I think over the last six months it has matured and it is stable."
"In terms of stability, it's quite good."
"The customer support is very responsive."
 

Cons

"The only challenge that we have faced with BotFarm is that there is no continuous deployment."
"When somebody is just learning this product it can be difficult for them to understand, so improvements to the user interface would be helpful."
"Its UI could be made better. It should also be more flexible. Currently, it is more rigid, and a little more flexibility is required. Their technical support should also be better. We are not very happy with their technical support. Its price is also quite high as of now. They should improve its price. Its setup should also be made easier. It is quite complex to set it up. Even though we were able to set it up a little fast because we had done something similar earlier, but it has a very complex setup. It is extremely resource-hungry. If they can make it a little light on resources, that would also be useful."
"BotFarm newer version has been difficult to install, we have been in contact with the support on this matter."
"It is too expensive and not worth the price."
"One aspect that can be improved is the accessibility of reusable components for developers. It relates to role-based access and accessibility."
"The CL command poses an issue during the process of data conversion, accuracy, data loss and the assessment of certain data as false."
"We do have some troubles with the internal software commands, but we have been troubleshooting this bug to fix it."
"I frequently face issues with infrastructure and some WorkFusion-related problems, such as login issues."
"So far, we have developed only one automation using machine learning. The results were less than optimal."
"If we're talking from a developer perspective, the task of actually building automation is not ideal. That's not their strong side."
"We would like to see further improvement in the area of running headless."
"The product needs to be "simple and easy" to use. A good example of this is the use of Python code to perform automations. It is free and the skills transfer is able to happen quickly and the operation and initiation of the completed automation is easy to execute."
"The OCR capability should also be improved."
"On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate WorkFusion as a seven out of ten. It is not higher because they have got some work to do now."
"We are having some database issues, but we are addressing them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than Blue Prism and UiPath in terms of cost."
"Pricing for this solution can be better."
"I am very happy with the pricing."
"There is a license for this solution and it is on an annual basis. I am satisfied with the price."
"The licensing is on a monthly basis."
"Our licensing costs are approximately $3,000 USD annually."
"It is too expensive and not worth the price."
"The pricing is fair."
"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."
"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."
"As a first-time customer who wants to engage with WorkFusion, not working for my company, then I would want to do a PoC. The cost is prohibitive because they will ask me to get infrastructure with six or seven servers. Then, you must buy a WorkFusion license to do a PoC, which is expensive. I would then have to set up a team to build the PoC and see the benefits. That is very prohibitive."
"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."
"Find it online."
"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."
"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."
