Featured Reviews

Anabel Marco - PeerSpot reviewer
Automates processes efficiently with cost-effective scaling and robust customer support
Web scraping is quite good since it offers a lot of possibilities. Another important feature for me is its compatibility with MBI, the Power that is ISEQUADO Centers. I appreciate the ability to scale and increase the number of bots or studios without additional expense. Automate's non-reliance on additional orchestrators makes it quite cost-effective.
Brent Wesler - PeerSpot reviewer
Maximizes document processing control with versatile OCR engines while anticipating needed auto-learning updates
The initial setup for new users may require some time, but the process is quick to learn, and the benefits are readily apparent. Kodak Info Input Solution offers significant versatility and control by allowing multiple OCR engines without needing knowledge-based models. This solution extends beyond invoices and procurement to handle various documents with extensive customization options. KODAK Info Input Solution does not require building knowledge-based models, unlike Ancora software. This flexibility and ease of use, especially in scenarios with simple invoice processing, make it a very useful tool. The extensibility and provision for customization, such as the ability to write JavaScript, increase its appeal.

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 use it for specific cases, mainly secure file transfers, which are vital for us. And it works for us."
"Overall, the whole product is really nice and provides significant benefits."
"The pricing is excellent. I would give them perfect marks in that regard."
"The best feature of Automate is its ease of use, which is a major selling point."
"Fortra's Automate has effectively replaced the workload of an entire employee, saving us significant time and money."
"I find it very user-friendly. Our IT department and other departments can seamlessly collaborate without requiring extensive training. As a business department, we particularly value this aspect, as our team doesn't consist of many IT users. However, we couldn't solely rely on a drag-and-drop approach to implement and utilize the solution within our departments."
"I find the ease of use from a programming perspective very valuable."
"The interface is simple, user-friendly, and very intuitive."
"The KODAK Info Input Solution offers fast workflows for extracting information from even the largest documents."
"The most valuable feature of KODAK Info Input Solution is the open intelligence piece, the ability to consume five different OCR engines."
"The KODAK Info Input Solution collects data automatically, which saves time, unlike when someone has to enter data manually."
"I find the pricing of KODAK Info Input Solution to be friendly and affordable because before implementing the software in our company, our system manager discussed it with us and we found the pricing to be reasonable, which is why we recommended it."
"The KODAK Info Input Solution offers fast workflows for extracting information from even the largest documents."
"The KODAK Info Input Solution's customer support is the best."
"I rate KODAK Info Input Solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"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 really does help by either freeing up people's time to focus on more value-added tasks or reducing headcount. We generally have other things that we can get people to do, helping make the employees' work more meaningful since they are not having to do the mundane stuff."
"The Robotic Desktop Automation Express component allows us to do rapid development outside the normal, time-consuming processes."
"In our opinion this group are the leaders in providing RPA solutions."
"We need to analyze documents in order to understand them. We don't need to dedicate much time to this because WorkFusion's machine learning capabilities are very good. We can easily extract information and classify these documents. The document processing engine is very important to our organization because it is the center for many use cases, as we need to control the information contained in documents."
"The most valuable feature is that it is easy to use."
"The cognitive features of this solution are good."
 

Cons

"The documentation is not that great."
"The product also has a limited use case in some respects."
"The vendor is currently working on a solution that allows us to automatically create a process that is based on a document that we receive via email."
"The documentation for errors needs improvement as many of the error messages we receive are very vague."
"I believe we need to test various OCR tools that assist in evaluating, let's say, six different customer resyncs. We analyze their spending patterns and documentations, but current OCR support has limitations, requiring highly standardized documents, which isn't always the case. With a more advanced OCR system, we could improve processes related to credit risk management and legal matters. We're exploring how to integrate Fortra's Automate with our CRM platform, taking cues from instances where Salesforce seamlessly merged with Automate. However, we use a different CRM, Insight for New Enterprise, and we're seeking ways to connect the automation process within our CRM. We aim for the automation to continue smoothly, even in instances where traditional automation methods might face hurdles."
"I would like the updates to be easier to deploy. Integration with Amazon S3 is somewhat lacking."
"The workflow for variables could be better. The input and output of task-level variables could be made a little clearer in terms of passing those around from one task to another upon success, etc. Things like that could be a little easier potentially."
"I currently have three bugs open with them that I don't know if they are addressed in the new release."
"Integrating KODAK Info Input Solution with other software, such as Laserfiche, presents challenges due to inadequate documentation and an unintuitive web services interface."
"The most significant area for improvement in the KODAK Info Input Solution is its ability to support custom definitions and auto-learn."
"The most significant area for improvement in the KODAK Info Input Solution is its ability to support custom definitions and auto-learn."
"Integrating KODAK Info Input Solution with other software, such as Laserfiche, presents challenges due to inadequate documentation and an unintuitive web services interface."
"The only area I think KODAK Info Input Solution could improve on is making their user interface more user-friendly and offering full customer customization of features."
"The KODAK Info Input Solution can improve its connection with scanners. It connects most effectively with Kodak's own scanners, specifically the S S S SMAX Scanners, while connections with other brands, such as Epson or HP, can take more time."
"A better graphical user interface that allows business users to perform automation would make this solution number one in the market."
"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 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 rate the stability as four out of ten. I frequently face issues with infrastructure and some WorkFusion-related problems, such as login issues."
"It should integrate with more ERP solutions like SAP. It doesn't currently have that ability."
"It is complex for enterprise implementation. The solution needs a needs minimum, of 20-22 servers. It's no small task. This is not a straightforward setup. It's a large undertaking and there are many moving parts."
"We are having some database issues, but we are addressing them."
"The product could do more to expand its 'codeless' coding options by adding drag-and-drop assistance in building bots for non-technical users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has gone up in price. The price of Fortra's Automate has increased since we first started using it. It does a lot but also costs a lot. It was a lot more affordable before Fortra owned the software."
"I like the way this solution is priced because you can buy a license, or you can buy the software outright."
"While solutions like UiPath and Blue Prism cost around $11,000-$12,000 for each license, this product costs around $7,000 and you can keep it forever."
"The pricing is quite reasonable. We can run the process with one bot. The limitation is at the server level because they have some resources, and sometimes that is enough. It isn't too expensive, so you can get a good return off of one, and you can also have a pack of five bots that is quite competitive."
"Compared to other products, the pricing model for this solution is much more convenient, flexible, and adaptable to the Portuguese reality."
"The cost is a bit high for a small business like ours, but we manage with Fortra's Automate."
"From a distributor's side, one of the biggest selling points is its price point. Without going into any numbers, compared to UiPath, Automation Anywhere, and Blue Prism, we're significantly cheaper. The main difference is that other competitors usually charge you per process. However, in Automate's case, it's priced per bot. So, a bot can run multiple processes at the same time, but you are only priced for a single bot."
"I'm only involved in running the product and maintaining the systems, so I can't speak to the cost."
"The pricing of KODAK Info Input Solution in Mexico is very expensive, and the government's purchasing process requires convincing many stakeholders."
"Although KODAK Info Input Solution's pricing is competitive within the industry's consumption-based model, its approach is overly complex."
"My client is using RPA Express, which is available for them to use free of charge."
"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."
"It is not the most expensive solution, but it is also not the cheapest."
"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 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."
"In addition to the licensing fee, there is also an implementation cost for each use case and technical support costs."
"Find it online."
