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

"From a solution standpoint, screen capture and tight integration with Outlook are valuable features."
"Their development interface is very easy to navigate."
"The most valuable feature of BotFarm is the fact that we can use escalations when we need more computer power to fulfill all embargo that we receive in one day."
"We have automized the day-to-day work of their order management system."
"The entire backend system structure is something that I found really valuable."
"Productivity increased far more than thirty percent."
"Productivity increased far more than thirty percent."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the Excel automation and support for SharePoint."
"If it is the first time a customer is a victim of fraud, he gets a refund within 10 to 15 minutes."
"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."
"Their robots have increased the rate of efficiency by two to five times in our organization. There is still a human element to code out the package running the robots. You can't just click something and have it run. However, once that has been done, you can parallelize it 10 or 100 times in a fairly straightforward manner."
"In terms of stability, it's quite good. It's an internal IP product."
"The most valuable features are the recorder because it's user-friendly and the integration with other tools Excel."
"In our opinion this group are the leaders in providing RPA solutions."
"It's a pretty robust product."
 

Cons

"The deployment could be made a little bit easier."
"When somebody is just learning this product it can be difficult for them to understand, so improvements to the user interface would be helpful."
"BotFarm newer version has been difficult to install, we have been in contact with the support on this matter."
"There should be more support for developing in environments such as Citrix and Linux."
"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."
"The machine learning needs to be improved so that they perform better in terms of predictive analysis and sentiment analysis."
"The dashboard needs improvement. For Bot Farm, the visualization is not that good compared to the main Automation Anywhere dashboard."
"The stability needs to be improved."
"Stability can be improved, especially when it comes to memory."
"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."
"The most common issue we have is with the OCR, but that also depends on the quality of the documents your scanning. Still, I would say the OCR is comparable to other solutions. I wouldn't say it's better or worse than other OCR engines."
"I would like WorkFusion to improve the automation rate when evaluating unstructured text."
"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."
"Machine learning models for document-heavy processes have room for improvement because they require significant effort to train and update."
"For me, 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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license of this solution is on an annual basis. The price is fair. However, what we did initially was a POC, but now we are looking at moving from a POC to expanding it out further. I would appreciate some kind of discount."
"Our licensing costs are approximately $3,000 USD annually."
"The licensing is on a monthly basis."
"The starter price is free."
"Pricing for this solution can be better."
"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."
"There is a license for this solution and it is on an annual basis. I am satisfied with the price."
"The pricing is fair because WorkFusion's out-of-the-box solution is appealing."
"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."
"I can't speak to pricing. It's a contract signed by upper management."
"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."
"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."
"It is not the most expensive solution, but it is also not the cheapest."
"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."
