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

"It is easy to use and very stable. It is a rugged product, and it doesn't break so easily."
"The most valuable features are PDF extraction and emailing."
"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."
"The record option and the OCR technology have been great."
"The most important feature of BotFarm is web automation."
"BotFarm is an easy solution to use and the interface is better than older versions."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"From a solution standpoint, screen capture and tight integration with Outlook are valuable features."
"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 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."
"Overall, I would recommend this solution to other users."
"WorkFusion has doubled our efficiency."
"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 customer support is very responsive."
"The Robotic Desktop Automation Express component allows us to do rapid development outside the normal, time-consuming processes."
"It is useful that WorkFusion provides the entire infrastructure, which allows me to focus on writing code without worrying about maintenance."
 

Cons

"The machine learning needs to be improved so that they perform better in terms of predictive analysis and sentiment analysis."
"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."
"One aspect that can be improved is the accessibility of reusable components for developers. It relates to role-based access and accessibility."
"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."
"The solution can improve the accuracy of hand-written data reading"
"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."
"Although I like the OCR technology, it could still be further improved."
"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."
"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 executed our robots thousands of times in our enterprise environment. However, in an enterprise environment, WorkFusion has performance problems; it is slow in production."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would not recommend this product for large automation projects because it gave us problems in terms of space and the speed at which it was executing."
"The express version does not do API calls and the Enterprise version does not do codeless coding."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution prices are expensive. It would be more beneficial for customers to lower the pricing."
"The product is slightly expensive"
"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 am very happy with the pricing."
"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."
"An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."
"The licensing is on a monthly basis."
"I think payment can vary but it's a re-occurring fee that needs to be paid every year."
"Find it online."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"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 are on an annual contract to use the solution."
"In addition to the licensing fee, there is also an implementation cost for each use case and technical support costs."
