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

"There is at least a five or ten times reduction in the amount of time, and more people are free to do something else."
"The most important feature of BotFarm is web automation."
"The best aspect is the UI, as it is very user-friendly."
"The solution is very manageable."
"Automation Anywhere has good document extraction features where it can learn patterns."
"The most valuable features I have found to be the screen scraping and the integration with third-party solutions."
"I use it in my client project to extract data and communicate it for business purposes."
"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."
"It's a pretty robust product."
"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, and the dashboard for the IT manager is very useful if there are issues and to create and follow processes."
"WorkFusion helps us in automating our business processes, so it helps in many ways, including lowering the cost of delivery, reducing the cost of operations by employing fewer people, speeding up business processes, and improving employee morale, as people do not have to do repetitive work anymore."
"The most valuable features are the Excel activities. It has a number of Excel activities that are quite reliable."
"For automating mundane activities, I can recommend WorkFusion."
"Overall, I would recommend this solution to other users."
"The solution is stable, we have not had any glitches or problems."
 

Cons

"The tool must execute remedial actions to resolve problems before they cause significant incidents."
"Sometimes I feel like it doesn't work properly and we are not able to provide the dexterity needed."
"It should be easier to create an environment for bots to operate in. There should be more support for developing in environments such as Citrix and Linux."
"The discovery suite that they just acquired could be included."
"An area for improvement in BotFarm is that the communication between the Control Room and the Bot Client Missions isn't utilized well."
"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 dashboard needs improvement. For Bot Farm, the visualization is not that good compared to the main Automation Anywhere dashboard."
"Its UI could be made better. It should also be more flexible."
"The product needs to be "simple and easy" to use."
"On a scale of 1 - 10 I would rate them a 6. That's not low - that 60%. But as I said, it needs to be upgraded and modified."
"Machine learning models for document-heavy processes have room for improvement because they require significant effort to train and update."
"We are having some database issues, but we are addressing them."
"It is complex for enterprise implementation. The solution needs a needs minimum, of 20-22 servers. It's no small task. This is not a straightforward setup. It's a large undertaking and there are many moving parts."
"I would like it if they provided a more detailed roadmap in terms of where they are going with the product. As we are trying to make decisions about the things that we are going to do to try to augment our capabilities, we could know whether they are thinking about the same things or not."
"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."
"So far, we have developed only one automation using machine learning. The results were less than optimal."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."
"The solution prices are expensive. It would be more beneficial for customers to lower the pricing."
"The pricing is fair."
"The pricing model could be simplified."
"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."
"The starter price is free."
"An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."
"The product is slightly expensive"
"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 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."
"I can't speak to pricing. It's a contract signed by upper management."
"We are on an annual contract to use the solution."
"It is not the most expensive solution, but it is also not the cheapest."
"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."
"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."
