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

"We have automized the day-to-day work of their order management system."
"The system is stable and very little maintenance is required, assuming the bots process is perfectly designed."
"What I like most about BotFarm is that it's one of the leading RPA products in the market. Very few products focus on robotics today, so I like that BotFarm offers a lot in terms of what general customers expect it to do."
"The record option and the OCR technology have been great."
"The solution is easy to use and easy to apply."
"We use this solution for automating the gathering of information from 15 disparate applications, with several bots in customer service and finance to increase efficiency and reduce manual work in different areas."
"One of the advantages of Automation Anywhere is that the Bot Insight feature is built-in."
"The solution reduces manual data errors and improves data accuracy"
"This solution has great document recognition capabilities."
"It is useful that WorkFusion provides the entire infrastructure, which allows me to focus on writing code without worrying about maintenance."
"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."
"I would definitely recommend WorkFusion because I think over the last six months it has matured and it is stable."
"We have seen Workfusion improve on accuracy and compliance... With the Workfusion model, we reduce human error and the need for further QC. We switch more to a QA process where we're testing whether the model is effective."
"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 most valuable features are the recorder because it's user-friendly and the integration with other tools Excel."
"The automations that we built are massively important to us."
 

Cons

"Although I like the OCR technology, it could still be further improved."
"I would like to be able to access BotForm using a mobile app."
"Scalability is an area of improvement. We can increase the main features for our project but when we reached out to our personnel and asked whether Bot can be expanded, we were told "You cannot scale this Bot."
"Overall the support and customer support areas need to be improved."
"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."
"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."
"There should be more support for developing in environments such as Citrix and Linux."
"The tool must execute remedial actions to resolve problems before they cause significant incidents."
"I frequently face issues with infrastructure and some WorkFusion-related problems, such as login issues."
"Sometimes, when we report an issue such as a possible bug in the WorkFusion platform, and we need answers or a solution, we think WorkFusion can do better."
"We would like to see further improvement in the area of running headless."
"WorkFusion comes packed with certain libraries and .jars. At times, you understand that you're using a system in which a library or .jar is outdated and you need to upgrade it... They need to better manage quickly making changes in WorkFusion to accommodate a situation where other technologies are not supporting the platform."
"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."
"We are having some database issues, but we are addressing them."
"This is an expensive solution. They have a very expensive license compared to any other automation tool."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay approximately $15,000 USD per year."
"Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than Blue Prism and UiPath in terms of cost."
"Our licensing costs are approximately $3,000 USD annually."
"The product is slightly expensive"
"Pricing for this solution can be better."
"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."
"The pricing is fair."
"Licenses are paid on a yearly basis and the cost is quite high."
"Find it online."
"My client is using RPA Express, which is available for them to use free of charge."
"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."
"I can't speak to pricing. It's a contract signed by upper management."
"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."
"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."
"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."
