Rajneesh Prajapati - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Rpa Consultant at Accely Consulting
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

"One of the advantages of Automation Anywhere is that the Bot Insight feature is built-in."
"As a company, if you feel that your ROI is pretty high and with Automation Anywhere you are able to achieve the desired ROI that you are looking for, then I would definitely say Automation Anywhere is a very good solution to adopt."
"From a solution standpoint, screen capture and tight integration with Outlook are valuable features."
"Productivity increased far more than thirty percent."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"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 system is stable and very little maintenance is required, assuming the bots process is perfectly designed."
"I would definitely recommend WorkFusion because I think over the last six months it has matured and it is stable."
"We recommend different solutions based on our customers' needs, and WorkFusion is what we offer for those who need a premium solution."
"For automating mundane activities, I can recommend WorkFusion."
"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."
"The cognitive features of this solution are good."
"The most valuable features are the recorder because it's user-friendly and the integration with other tools Excel."
"The cognitive features of this solution are good."
"It takes care of simple tasks so users can focus more on exceptions than on regular use cases. They only focus on orders where they need to handle an exception, some information was not given, or there is an issue that they had to focus on. The rest of it goes straight through without human touch. We want to see our employees as engineers, wherein they think and solve problems, not necessarily have to do repetitive tasks. I think WorkFusion helps with avoiding repetitive tasks."
 

Cons

"The OCR tool, the optical character recognition tool, could be more efficient."
"Normally we need to monitor the solution using an AWS console and the control room. We would like to have a standardized dashboard to see all the information in one place."
"We do have some troubles with the internal software commands, but we have been troubleshooting this bug to fix it."
"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."
"It is too expensive and not worth the price."
"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 would like to have access to self-service support."
"The solution is a bit higher on the pricing side."
"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."
"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."
"If we're talking from a developer perspective, the task of actually building automation is not ideal. That's not their strong side."
"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."
"I frequently face issues with infrastructure and some WorkFusion-related problems, such as login issues."
"One of the issues that we are facing here in China, is that we cannot access the material for training because it is on YouTube."
"One of the issues that we are facing here in China, is that we cannot access the material for training because it is on YouTube. In China, we do not have access to YouTube."
"Machine learning models for document-heavy processes have room for improvement because they require significant effort to train and update."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."
"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."
"There is a license for this solution and it is on an annual basis. I am satisfied with the price."
"Our licensing costs are approximately $3,000 USD annually."
"I think payment can vary but it's a re-occurring fee that needs to be paid every year."
"I am very happy with the pricing."
"The solution prices are expensive. It would be more beneficial for customers to lower the pricing."
"Pricing for this solution can be better."
"In addition to the licensing fee, there is also an implementation cost for each use case and technical support costs."
"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."
"It is not the most expensive solution, but it is also not the cheapest."
"Find it online."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We are on an annual contract to use the solution."
