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

"The solution is easy to use and easy to apply."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"BotFarm by Automation Anywhere is great for building bots."
"I use it in my client project to extract data and communicate it for business purposes."
"Automation Anywhere provides a very flexible UI."
"One of the advantages of Automation Anywhere is that the Bot Insight feature is built-in."
"Last year I faced a problem and, subsequently, raised a ticket, and the support team is great and they helped me to resolve the issue within three or four days."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which helps to provide a good user experience."
"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. The dashboard for the IT manager is very useful if there are issues and to create and follow processes."
"This product helps us by automating functions in finance, where users are able to have attended bots and save time by handing processes to the bots to run while they continue their own work."
"It is useful that WorkFusion provides the entire infrastructure, which allows me to focus on writing code without worrying about maintenance."
"The Robotic Desktop Automation Express component allows us to do rapid development outside the normal, time-consuming processes."
"I would definitely recommend WorkFusion because I think over the last six months it has matured and it is stable."
"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."
"We recommend different solutions based on our customers' needs, and WorkFusion is what we offer for those who need a premium solution."
"The cognitive features of this solution are good."
 

Cons

"The OCR command needs to improve. This feature is used to convert the extracted data from an image file and while converting this file I was facing a lot of issues with the data because it was getting lost and some of the data which was extracted was mismatched."
"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 stability needs to be improved."
"When somebody is just learning this product it can be difficult for them to understand, so improvements to the user interface would be helpful."
"The solution doesn't have support like they used to. They need support. We have personnel of our own, but sometimes we need assistance beyond our own team."
"An area for improvement in BotFarm is that the communication between the Control Room and the Bot Client Missions isn't utilized well."
"Overall the support and customer support areas need to be improved."
"The image processing capabilities definitely need to 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."
"The user experience could be better both from an RPA perspective and from a business perspective."
"A better graphical user interface that allows business users to perform automation would make this solution number one in the market."
"This is an expensive solution. They have a very expensive license compared to any other automation tool."
"However, we've had use cases where we decided not to employ WorkFusion because it lacked capabilities that were important for the business processes in our company."
"The upgrade process is a nightmare."
"It is difficult for non-technical users to use WorkFusion. If we really want to build automation, we definitely need Java developers."
"So far, we have developed only one automation using machine learning. The results were less than optimal. Part of this could be because of the use case that was selected. Overall, our experience was suboptimal. WorkFusion was an outstanding partner in terms of providing their experts for free to help us on that particular use case, but we still have a lot of things to figure out in terms of how to use its machine learning capability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay approximately $15,000 USD per year."
"An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."
"The product is slightly expensive"
"I am very happy with the pricing."
"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."
"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."
"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."
"I think payment can vary but it's a re-occurring fee that needs to be paid every year."
"We are on an annual contract to use the solution."
"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."
"My client is using RPA Express, which is available for them to use free of charge."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is fair because WorkFusion's out-of-the-box solution is appealing."
"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."
