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

"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."
"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 solution is great to automate any repetitive tasks, which you might do on a daily basis."
"The solution is easy to use and easy to apply."
"The main features of the solution are the IQ Bot and web-based automation."
"The most valuable feature is the rapid deployment of multiple bots."
"The record option and the OCR technology have been great."
"From a solution standpoint, screen capture and tight integration with Outlook are valuable features."
"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."
"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 most valuable features are the Excel activities. It has a number of Excel activities that are quite reliable."
"We need to analyze documents in order to understand them. We don't need to dedicate much time to this because WorkFusion's machine learning capabilities are very good. We can easily extract information and classify these documents. The document processing engine is very important to our organization because it is the center for many use cases, as we need to control the information contained in documents."
"The tool itself is easy. I started using it without really having any coding experience... After just a few clicks, it was doing reconciliations for me."
"If you compare it to its competitors in the market, it is more Java-native."
"The Control Tower enables us to create and use workflows. It helps us run processes. There are a lot of small features, but the Control Tower is a very good feature, wherein we can create bots and schedule them as well as create different instances of them to run in different regions."
"The most valuable features are the recorder because it's user-friendly and the integration with other tools Excel."
 

Cons

"The deployment could be simplified."
"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."
"We do have some troubles with the internal software commands, but we have been troubleshooting this bug to fix it."
"I would like to see more process mining features to give us insight into them before we develop automation."
"The implementation isn't straightforward. It's a bit complex in terms of deployment as there are a lot of settings you need to handle."
"When somebody is just learning this product it can be difficult for them to understand, so improvements to the user interface would be helpful."
"I would like to have access to self-service support."
"There should be more support for developing in environments such as Citrix and Linux."
"I would like WorkFusion to improve the automation rate when evaluating unstructured text."
"The solution is not user-friendly, this is something they should improve."
"We are having some database issues, but we are addressing them."
"The product could do more to expand its 'codeless' coding options by adding drag-and-drop assistance in building bots for non-technical users."
"If we're talking from a developer perspective, the task of actually building automation is not ideal. That's not their strong side."
"I frequently face issues with infrastructure and some WorkFusion-related problems, such as login issues."
"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."
"Sometimes, when we report an issue such as a possible bug in the WorkFusion platform, and we need answers or a solution, we think WorkFusion can do better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am very happy with the pricing."
"The pricing model could be simplified."
"The product is slightly expensive"
"The licensing is on a monthly basis."
"Licenses are paid on a yearly basis and the cost is quite high."
"The starter price is free."
"An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."
"The pricing is fair."
"Find it online."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is fair because WorkFusion's out-of-the-box solution is appealing."
"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."
"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."
