Anabel Marco

Account Director at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

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.

Digital Transformation Lead at Expleogroup

Offers enhancement in data accuracy with low-code requirements and easy onboarding

It's a scalable product. In our organization, we sometimes write a script once and reuse it several times, which improves workflow efficiency. Our team inputs the datasets one by one or in a batch mode into BotFarm and schedules them or calls individually as needed. For instance, if one individual has 15 or 20 forms that need to be scanned and logged immediately, it's possible to implement with BotFarm and its scheduling operations. The solution is ideal for small and medium-sized enterprises and can fit in for large enterprises as well, depending upon the use case. For instance, if 100 agents are working across different locations through a mobile app, all the data from the agents can be stored in a common repository and scheduled. BotFarm can be configured based on the architecture and business operations.

Lead Software Engineer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

Great with recognition and provides a high level of confidence in terms of extraction capabilities

When it comes to machine print, this is an excellent solution with features you don't find in other tools. When dealing with handwritten text they have provided some A2iA locators that require a separate license. Even after implementing that, the handwritten text extraction was not great. Microsoft Azure does better at text extraction. If an organization is looking for OCR without the need to extract anything, then I would suggest a product such as Textract or another free software. If data extraction is needed for additional processes then I would recommend Kofax. I rate this solution eight out of 10

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"I actually quite liked the no-coding functionality."

"The pricing is excellent. I would give them perfect marks in that regard."

"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."

"A great feature that you seldom see in these kind of systems is the ability to use a database as trigger to launch a task. This is something I asked for a few years ago and that was added."

"It gives us a central place to schedule tasks and run them distributed."

"It's very easy to use. That's a big selling point for it. It has got a drag-and-drop interface, so you can quickly deploy bots."

"The most valuable features of Fortra's Automate include its FTP functionality and file manipulation capabilities."

"The ability to connect to websites and pull data is the solution's most valuable feature."

More Automate pros

"The most valuable features I have found to be the screen scraping and the integration with third-party solutions."

"The dashboards are quite good, especially on the latest versions."

"The most valuable feature of BotFarm is the fact that we can use escalations when we need more computer power to fulfill all embargo that we receive in one day."

"There are not many challenges when setting up this solution, and there is a good amount of documentation to go with it."

"The solution seems to offer high stability. We haven't seen any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze."

"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."

"One of the most valuable features is the solution's simple automation regarding object cloning and strings variables."

"Productivity increased far more than thirty percent."

More BotFarm pros

"Data extraction and auto-classification are great features."

"It is user-friendly and has good documentation. It's good for developing communication and has a lot of the APIs needed for this purpose. There aren't a lot of software options available from this time period; this is the only one from 2013 that has this concept of microservices."

"It's not so complex to design what you need to."

"Kofax TotalAgility is a great design tool for reading handwritten invoices."

"Kofax is very easy to use, UI-friendly and allows easy data extraction."

"What I find most valuable in Kofax TotalAgility is its OCR feature. I also find its workflow and business process management capabilities valuable. Kofax TotalAgility also has good integration with other solutions and has an API call feature."

"The tool is low code which saves you from a developer."

"It's a growing tool that offers a complete package of BPM, case management, and capture capabilities."

More Tungsten TotalAgility pros

Cons

"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."

"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."

"I currently have three bugs open with them that I don't know if they are addressed in the new release."

"The technical support could be better. We suffer from language barriers, as we are in Argentina."

"Sometimes when we communicate with the ERP system and there is an issue, we are not always aware of the specifics of Automate and the source of the problem."

"It would be an improvement if Automate had better stability tools, whether by recommending a certain amount of memory because it can be a memory hog at times."

"There is a lack of good development for artificial intelligence, such as machine learning."

"Error messages should be better. For error status, there should be better documentation because a lot of times, error messages that you get are quite vague. For example, you get a message saying that the workflow has run into an unknown status, which is vague. It just tells you that it failed, but you don't know how or why it failed. It makes debugging difficult."

More Automate cons

"I would definitely be wanting to see OCR features for improving the solution."

"The machine learning needs to be improved so that they perform better in terms of predictive analysis and sentiment analysis."

"The solution can improve the accuracy of hand-written data reading"

"One aspect that can be improved is the accessibility of reusable components for developers. It relates to role-based access and accessibility."

"The CL command poses an issue during the process of data conversion, accuracy, data loss and the assessment of certain data as false."

"The tool must execute remedial actions to resolve problems before they cause significant incidents."

"It would be ideal if the solution offered more language options, such as Arabic."

"When somebody is just learning this product it can be difficult for them to understand, so improvements to the user interface would be helpful."

More BotFarm cons

"Sometimes there isn't enough accuracy when it comes to extracts."

"They provide sufficient but not excellent technical support. Perhaps there is a point where they could use some improvement."

"There needs to be more accessible certification and better pricing."

"Kofax TotalAgility is quite vast and complex as a product. We came from Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation, then we started learning Kofax TotalAgility, so there are a lot of things that were quite straightforward in the Kofax Capture and Kofax Transformation cross-motion modules, but to do those in Kofax TotalAgility was a bit more complex or quite long-winded and could be improved. In the next release of Kofax TotalAgility, it would be good to have a straightforward low-code or no-code process because there were instances we struggled with having to put logic into a script or a .NET script, then calling that script, instead of the process being low-code, no-code."

"It’s not truly low code yet, as every two or three projects, you will have a situation where you have to go behind the essential things. You will definitely still need to customize."

"Kofax needs to improve the low-code or citizen developers."

"The product's console version is old. It should also improve its forum."

"Kofax TotalAgility could improve the OTR engine. The page OTR engine is not accurate in predicting the data properly. If you provide many features which are good for business process management without an accurate OTR engine people will not want it."

More Tungsten TotalAgility cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From a distributor's perspective, one of the biggest selling points of Automate is its price point."

"Once you buy the software, you just pay for the support for backend help."

"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 cost is a bit high for a small business like ours, but we manage with Fortra's Automate."

"It comes with a package that costs approximately $20,000 USD per year."

"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."

"I like the way this solution is priced because you can buy a license, or you can buy the software outright."

More Automate pricing and cost advice

"We pay approximately $15,000 USD per year."

"Our licensing costs are approximately $3,000 USD annually."

"I think payment can vary but it's a re-occurring fee that needs to be paid every year."

"The pricing model could be simplified."

"I am very happy with the pricing."

"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."

"The product is slightly expensive"

"The pricing is fair."

More BotFarm pricing and cost advice

"The licensing cost for Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive, though I'm unable to give you the range, the sales representatives of my company say that the product is quite expensive."

"It has a perpetual license. You pay once in a lifetime for the volume of scans you will do and the number of users you will have. You can have participants or regular users, and you can have developers and administrators. So, once you purchase it, it is for a lifetime, and then every year, you have to pay for the maintenance. There is an annual maintenance cost, which is about 18% of the licensing cost."

"Kofax TotalAgility is very expensive."

"The price of this solution is less than some of the competition."

"It is slightly more expensive than other tools."

Reviews from Real Users

Akshay P., Associate Systems Analyst at NSEiT Limited, relates, “It is very easy, simple. You're working on a notepad, and you don't need to know programming to work on this. The dashboards are quite good, especially on the latest versions.”

A Digital Strategy Manager at an energy/utilities company shares, “The scalability is the solution's most valuable aspect. The reason Bot Farm is used is to have only one license available whenever you have a spike in the transactions. That is a core feature. That is something which we are using to the maximum. It's working well due to the fact that the solution use case is quite structured.”

A Senior RPA Developer at a tech services company tells us, “The solution is great to automate any repetitive tasks, which you might do on a daily basis. For example, the organization may need to be generating invoices or extracting data from PDF files daily. It is very versatile in what you can automate. This has improved my organization by cutting down on repetitive tasks that now can be automated.”
