Rajneesh Prajapati - PeerSpot reviewer
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 best aspect is the UI, as it is very user-friendly."
"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."
"It is easy to use and very stable. It is a rugged product, and it doesn't break so easily."
"The most valuable feature is the rapid deployment of multiple bots."
"Automation Anywhere provides a very flexible UI."
"The dashboards are quite good, especially on the latest versions."
"There are not many challenges when setting up this solution, and there is a good amount of documentation to go with it."
"The solution is very manageable."
"We recommend different solutions based on our customers' needs, and WorkFusion is what we offer for those who need a premium solution."
"It takes care of simple tasks so users can focus more on exceptions than on regular use cases. They only focus on orders where they need to handle an exception, some information was not given, or there is an issue that they had to focus on. The rest of it goes straight through without human touch. We want to see our employees as engineers, wherein they think and solve problems, not necessarily have to do repetitive tasks. I think WorkFusion helps with avoiding repetitive tasks."
"It is useful that WorkFusion provides the entire infrastructure, which allows me to focus on writing code without worrying about maintenance."
"The most valuable features are the Excel activities. It has a number of Excel activities that are quite reliable."
"The most valuable feature is that it is easy to use."
"The solution is stable, we have not had any glitches or problems."
"For automating mundane activities, I can recommend WorkFusion."
"If you compare it to its competitors in the market, it is more Java-native."
 

Cons

"One aspect that can be improved is the accessibility of reusable components for developers. It relates to role-based access and accessibility."
"The stability needs to be improved."
"The deployment could be made a little bit easier."
"The only challenge that we have faced with BotFarm is that there is no continuous deployment. The whole world is moving to the DevOps model, but BotFarm is still not on the DevOps model. It should have integration with the DevOps model. The migration of the bots or bots pipeline is currently purely manual."
"The new version is not very stable. Sometimes I can't use the recording sound."
"It would be ideal if the solution offered more language options, such as Arabic."
"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 machine learning needs to be improved so that they perform better in terms of predictive analysis and sentiment analysis."
"The solution is not user-friendly, this is something they should improve."
"Machine learning models for document-heavy processes have room for improvement because they require significant effort to train and update."
"We had some issues in the past, but it is fairly stable now. From what I hear, it is more stable in the later versions. With version 10.1.4, there were some issues relating to load distribution. However, it is good now."
"I would like WorkFusion to improve the automation rate when evaluating unstructured text."
"A better graphical user interface that allows business users to perform automation would make this solution number one in the market."
"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."
"We would like to see further improvement in the area of running headless."
"One thing we didn't like was their OCR solution. We felt it's somewhat inefficient."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing is on a monthly basis."
"The starter price is free."
"Pricing for this solution can be better."
"We pay approximately $15,000 USD per year."
"The pricing is fair."
"The pricing model could be simplified."
"I think payment can vary but it's a re-occurring fee that needs to be paid every year."
"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."
"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."
"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."
"My client is using RPA Express, which is available for them to use free of charge."
"We are on an annual contract to use the solution."
"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."
"It is not the most expensive solution, but it is also not the cheapest."
