A great ERP for medium and even small businesses
If one has experience in the ERP market, big brands like Microsoft require a lot of money over other platforms like Odoo. We can implement an on-premise model for some enterprise customers because it gives privacy and security. For other customers, we provide the cloud version. Currently, we recommend customers implement the ERP platform on the cloud environment because of the flexibility and scaling. I recommend that customers invest in a solution with the possibility of scaling in the future while providing many functions and features out of the box. In many ERPs we provide, although we would recommend ELMA as a default option for medium and even enterprise customers, they need bigger brands. ELMA 365 should be the second or third option for customers right now. I rate ELMA 365 a ten out of ten.

Helps improve our accuracy and compliance, but the analytics module can be confusing
Machine learning models for document-heavy processes have room for improvement because they require significant effort to train and update. WorkFusion can be easy to use for non-technical people. It has two modules: a workspace for analysts to use on a daily basis, and an analytics module for tracking throughput, recall, precision, and other model metrics. The workspace is very easy to use, similar to any other case management tool. The analytics module, on the other hand, can be confusing at times and could benefit from some improvements. The biggest challenge I've had with WorkFusion is employee turnover. On both of my projects with them, the primary developer, the PMO, and some of the product SMEs have all turned over. There's been a lot of turnover in their organization over the past two years.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"A lot of customers, when we introduce this kind of product into their organization, it provides a lot of analytics."
"The tool itself is easy. I started using it without really having any coding experience... After just a few clicks, it was doing reconciliations for me."
"This solution has great document recognition capabilities."
"The Robotic Desktop Automation Express component allows us to do rapid development outside the normal, time-consuming processes."
"The document processing engine is good. We're extracting around 70 data points from a given document, and we have an automated extraction rate of 80 percent for those fields."
"The most valuable features are the recorder because it's user-friendly and the integration with other tools Excel."
"WorkFusion's SAP integrations are really good."
"The automation process is the most valuable feature."
"We recommend different solutions based on our customers' needs, and WorkFusion is what we offer for those who need a premium solution."
 

Cons

"Customers want improved productivity."
"We are having some database issues, but we are addressing them."
"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."
"The user experience could be better both from an RPA perspective and from a business perspective."
"The problem with the solution is that it is agnostic, so it's not made for banks. Sometimes we are challenged because of this. We have to make everything from scratch to make it work for our clients."
"If we're talking from a developer perspective, the task of actually building automation is not ideal. That's not their strong side."
"Machine learning models for document-heavy processes have room for improvement because they require significant effort to train and update."
"It should integrate with more ERP solutions like SAP. It doesn't currently have that ability."
"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

"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"My client is using RPA Express, which is available for them to use free of charge."
"The pricing is fair because WorkFusion's out-of-the-box solution is appealing."
"It is not the most expensive solution, but it is also not the cheapest."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Find it online."
