Featured Reviews

Satender Sajwan - PeerSpot reviewer
Operations Manager at Genpact
Gave a better output every time, reduced our touch time by 80%, and had a robust reporting mechanism to improve the process
We tested HyperScience on structured formats of the forms, and it worked really well. We tested it with semi-structured formats, and it worked well. We also tested creating a new form that does not have any format. HyperScience has less capability while working on unstructured forms. Unstructured forms are those where there is no standard structure and the information can be anywhere on the form. They need to develop this capability. Such a capability would make it a perfect system for processes like data entry, accounts tables, etc. Secondly, before putting the actual volume in the tool, I believe that we have to create a manual form every time. If the procedure of creating the forms can be shortened or automated, it would help. It would reduce the manual effort of creating a form every time you start working on it. There should be an automated form creation system that does not require any manual intervention. Whenever a new form comes, the system should be able to create a dummy form for that. That will help.

Enhance task automation through efficient processing of email and document workflows
WorkFusion works well with Microsoft 365, especially Outlook, allowing for efficient processing of multiple emails at once. Code automation is robust, enabling processing of multiple emails in a single transaction. It also supports reusable code components through Java, making it efficient for developers. WorkFusion has clear documentation that facilitates training.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have seen pretty good accuracy."
"I like that compared to other tools, HyperScience works best with handwritten documents."
"What I liked more about HyperScience was the quality of the OCR it is a lot better compared to Google."
"Has algorithms that can detect a document template even if the image has a lot of distortions."
"Valuable features include tools like IQ Bot and the ability to extract handwritten documents with 93-95 per cent accuracy."
"One of the most valuable features of HyperScience is the user-training module. Whenever the extraction takes place, based on the way we have trained HyperScience, it would give us some success status or a certain confidence level. If the solution has processed something that it determined was not extracted correctly it will queue those items for manual review."
"What I liked more about HyperScience was the quality of the OCR it is a lot better compared to Google."
"Valuable features include tools like IQ Bot and the ability to extract handwritten documents with 93-95 per cent accuracy, which can be improved using ML technology."
"The robots have helped increase the rate of efficiency by 75% to 80% from a customer perspective and 30% from an order entry perspective."
"Their robots have increased the rate of efficiency by two to five times in our organization. There is still a human element to code out the package running the robots. You can't just click something and have it run. However, once that has been done, you can parallelize it 10 or 100 times in a fairly straightforward manner."
"A helpful feature is the analytics capability within WorkFusion. The analytics dashboards, i.e., their Tableau dashboards, are really helpful for building a business activity monitoring layer. These are very visible to senior management and stakeholders, who can see and know what is happening within processes. They can see what benefits are getting delivered as processes, either ;daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly. It is easy for stakeholders or senior management to understand the value for the money that they are spending."
"The Robotic Desktop Automation Express component allows us to do rapid development outside the normal, time-consuming processes."
"I would definitely recommend WorkFusion because I think over the last six months it has matured and it is stable."
"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 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, and 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."
 

Cons

"Extracting tables from certain documents could be improved."
"The solution lacks support for a variety of languages."
"HyperScience has less capability while working on unstructured forms. Unstructured forms are those where there is no standard structure and the information can be anywhere on the form."
"The solution is expensive."
"HyperScience has less capability while working on unstructured forms. Unstructured forms are those where there is no standard structure and the information can be anywhere on the form. They need to develop this capability."
"They could work on the price and make it a bit more reasonable."
"HyperScience is a stable solution, but there are some improvements needed in terms of the language support and support of dictionaries."
"HyperScience could improve the unstructured data extraction feature."
"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."
"The product needs to be "simple and easy" to use. A good example of this is the use of Python code to perform automations. It is free and the skills transfer is able to happen quickly and the operation and initiation of the completed automation is easy to execute."
"The solution is not user-friendly, this is something they should improve."
"It should integrate with more ERP solutions like SAP. It doesn't currently have that ability."
"A better graphical user interface that allows business users to perform automation would make this solution number one in the market."
"I frequently face issues with infrastructure and some WorkFusion-related problems, such as login issues."
"This is an expensive solution. They have a very expensive license compared to any other automation tool."
"One thing we didn't like was their OCR solution. We felt it's somewhat inefficient."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't have any idea about the licensing costs, but I know that there was a per-page charge. They had different models of pricing. One of them was based on the minimum number of pages, and we had a fixed price. So, the price model depends on the volume that is coming through HyperScience."
"I think HyperScience is cheaper when compared to other tools. They also have a lifetime licensing option."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"We are on an annual contract to use the solution."
"I can't speak to pricing. It's a contract signed by upper management."
"Find it online."
"The pricing is fair because WorkFusion's out-of-the-box solution is appealing."
