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 entire backend system structure is something that I found really valuable."
"One of the most valuable features is the solution's simple automation regarding object cloning and strings variables."
"One of the most valuable features is the solution's simple automation regarding object cloning and strings variables."
"The most valuable features are the portals for extracting data from PDF files, appending data to SAP, automating the SAP, downloading reports, and mapping and creating the reports accordingly to your requirements."
"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."
"From a solution standpoint, screen capture and tight integration with Outlook are valuable features."
"BotFarm is an easy solution to use and the interface is better than older versions."
"Technical support is really good; when we have had issues, they have been able to help us and gave us several solutions based on the challenges that we were facing."
"The most valuable features are the recorder because it's user-friendly and the integration with other tools Excel."
"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."
"The Robotic Desktop Automation Express component allows us to do rapid development outside the normal, time-consuming 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."
"WorkFusion has doubled our efficiency."
"If you compare it to its competitors in the market, it is more Java-native."
"For automating mundane activities, I can recommend WorkFusion."
"The solution is stable, we have not had any glitches or problems."
 

Cons

"The licensing schemes could be more competitive. They need to be much more flexible in their pricing."
"The dashboard needs improvement. For Bot Farm, the visualization is not that good compared to the main Automation Anywhere dashboard."
"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 dashboard needs improvement. For Bot Farm, the visualization is not that good compared to the main Automation Anywhere dashboard."
"I would definitely be wanting to see OCR features for improving the solution."
"It is too expensive and not worth the price."
"An area for improvement in BotFarm is that the communication between the Control Room and the Bot Client Missions isn't utilized well. There's also the issue with PCI DSS compliance or certain regulations that require a set of configurations that are not fully supported by BotFarm. The product should be certified or designed according to the required regulations in the finance industry to make it better."
"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."
"A better graphical user interface that allows business users to perform automation would make this solution number one in the market."
"The user experience could be better both from an RPA perspective and from a business perspective."
"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."
"It is difficult for non-technical users to use WorkFusion. If we really want to build automation, we definitely need Java developers."
"The solution is not user-friendly, this is something they should improve."
"Stability can be improved, especially when it comes to memory."
"There is enhanced functionality I would like to see, things that would further enhance the user experience, deliver greater efficiencies, and further mitigate risk."
"The upgrade process is a nightmare."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is on a monthly basis."
"Pricing for this solution can be better."
"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."
"Licenses are paid on a yearly basis and the cost is quite high."
"There is a license for this solution and it is on an annual basis. I am satisfied with the price."
"I think payment can vary but it's a re-occurring fee that needs to be paid every year."
"An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."
"The product is slightly expensive"
"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."
"The pricing is fair because WorkFusion's out-of-the-box solution is appealing."
"We are on an annual contract to use the solution."
"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."
"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."
"I can't speak to pricing. It's a contract signed by upper management."
"In addition to the licensing fee, there is also an implementation cost for each use case and technical support costs."
