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

"I use it in my client project to extract data and communicate it for business purposes."
"The solution has a lot of great features inside of it that clients can take advantage of."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the Excel automation and support for SharePoint."
"Overall, we've been happy with the solution."
"Overall, this is a pretty good product and nobody else in the market is providing RPA at this level."
"They recently released the newest version that has a good program flow, quality, and blueprints that are all good improvements to the automation, and they also have good integration with SAP."
"BotFarm has been working perfectly fine with our business model. Its scalability is the most valuable feature. We can easily scale out bots on a need basis. Portability is another valuable feature. We work with different payment systems like Visa and MasterCard and have bots for them. Because of BotFarm, we are able to reuse these bots."
"BotFarm is an easy solution to use and the interface is better than older versions."
"The most valuable feature is that it is easy to use."
"The cognitive features of this solution are good."
"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."
"The automations that we built are massively important to us."
"The customer support is very responsive."
"In terms of stability, it's quite good."
"This solution has great document recognition capabilities."
"We recommend different solutions based on our customers' needs, and WorkFusion is what we offer for those who need a premium solution."
 

Cons

"The only challenge that we have faced with BotFarm is that there is no continuous deployment."
"The discovery suite that they just acquired could be included."
"The dashboard needs improvement. For Bot Farm, the visualization is not that good compared to the main Automation Anywhere dashboard."
"Although I like the OCR technology, it could still be further improved."
"The tool must execute remedial actions to resolve problems before they cause significant incidents."
"The deployment could be simplified."
"I would definitely be wanting to see OCR features for improving the solution."
"The new version is not very stable. Sometimes I can't use the recording sound."
"We would like to see further improvement in the area of running headless."
"This is a Java-based application that takes up a lot of space and when it runs, consumes a lot of memory. This affects the reliability because it gets to a point where it hangs."
"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."
"This is an expensive solution. They have a very expensive license compared to any other automation tool."
"One thing we didn't like was their OCR solution. We felt it's somewhat inefficient."
"The solution is not user-friendly, this is something they should improve."
"There is enhanced functionality I would like to see, things that would further enhance the user experience, deliver greater efficiencies, and further mitigate risk."
"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

"It is too expensive and not worth the price."
"The licensing is on a monthly basis."
"The pricing is fair."
"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."
"We pay approximately $15,000 USD per year."
"The product is slightly expensive"
"The pricing model could be simplified."
"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."
"My client is using RPA Express, which is available for them to use free of charge."
"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 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."
"Find it online."
"It is not the most expensive solution, but it is also not the cheapest."
"The pricing is fair because WorkFusion's out-of-the-box solution is appealing."
"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."
"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."
