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.
Renjith Raghunathan - PeerSpot reviewer
A solution that requires minimal efforts to run multiple activities at the same time
It would be helpful to add more documentation. Currently, there are not many documents available on Google that explain each activity and how to use it or how to use the parameters and pass values. This is an area that could be improved. If I were to add something that would make my life easier in a new release of INTELLIBOT, then it would be making improvements to the way it is interacting with Java. The only challenge with using INTELLIBOT is the way it works with OCR, which can make creating OCR icons very challenging. In addition, there may be challenges in using the Citrix environment.
Shamus Cardon - PeerSpot reviewer
It has improved our accuracy since we are eliminating the human error element. There could be better version control through their web platform.
We only have our engineering team writing code and developing business processes since it is very technical. In terms of data extraction and training the ML models, we deployed that to our accounts payable department, which has fewer technical users than our engineering team. After a handful of training sessions, they were able to get in there and use it with decent accuracy. It could be better, but it is definitely better than nothing. One of the big upgrades that I know is happening in version 10 is an improvement to their tagging interface. That is definitely something that I am excited about to sort of reinvigorate our more non-technical users in information extraction from our documents. There could be better version control through their web platform. That is something that could be improved on. Integration from the IDE, e.g., from WorkFusion Studio directly into Control Tower, would be nice to have too.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Compared to other vendors, it's the scheduling tool because a lot of vendors want to charge you extra for their enterprise-level license to have a scheduling tool built in to give you the ability to set up regular schedules to run and do certain data checks."
"We are still in the process of rolling it to production and tweaking it (our AD groups are a mess), but the improvements are priceless. Having users ID's created the same way every time without human error is the best part. We don't need to worry about why groups were not added, user rights not set to folders or missing a private folder being created, typos or just even knowing when things are done and logged."
"Fortra's Automate performs the job effectively and has the capability to alert us of any issues."
"The product effectively handles all the tasks we require."
"We use it for specific cases, mainly secure file transfers, which are vital for us. And it works for us."
"The licensing of the product is very good. You only need to license it once and then you have it forever."
"The most valuable features for my client are timing and scheduling."
"We have found the pricing to be very reasonable."
"The return on investment is pretty good because the license cost is cheaper than other RPA tools in the market."
"For machine learning, there is an in-built document and text classification feature in INTELLIBOT. That is unlike other RPA tools where one needs to procure a separate license. Besides this, the application is easy to use. One valuable feature is the drag-and-drop feature for AI and email intelligence. It is easier than using UiPath's IQ bot."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the straightforward visual editor, it has close to no code required. It allowed us to deploy the email monitoring in this couple of weeks."
"This solution is easy to use and requires little coding knowledge."
"It is a stable product. We have been using it for 15 months now, and there have been no issues."
"The replay of the automation is an awesome feature."
"There's a helpful community available through the portal."
"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."
"WorkFusion's RPA Express's ability to scale across multiple geographies with limited impact on additional IT Hardware requirements. This has enabled the scaling of Robotics capabilities and solutions across all our entities."
"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 automation process is the most valuable feature."
"We have seen Workfusion improve on accuracy and compliance... With the Workfusion model, we reduce human error and the need for further QC. We switch more to a QA process where we're testing whether the model is effective."
"The platform remains stable with well-designed processes, despite being a complex and technical tool."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"There is a lack of good development for artificial intelligence, such as machine learning."
"The intelligent automation feature could be improved. It's interesting because it's simple, but the automation quality isn't always good. It's easy to use, but sometimes you need to make a slight improvement to the automation, and that's not so easy."
"The OCR for Hebrew text needs to be improved."
"The documentation is not that great."
"Some companies have asked for voice integration. This is likely part of the roadmap."
"The documentation for errors needs improvement as many of the error messages we receive are very vague."
"It's possible that they could use a stronger community for seeking guidance and help."
"Has limited functionality and uses extensive resources."
"The trigger actions need to be more robust."
"I would like to see the cognitive marketing platform improved."
"Currently, there are not many documents available on Google that explain each activity and how to use it or how to use the parameters and pass values."
"The first pain point of INTELLIBOT was with the development. Whenever the company developed any command, they published it directly onto their SQL site, and our current automation got auto-updated. The second pain point was with the action set. It could be stronger. Moreover, if I am doing UiPath automation, I have to do it with the Internal Report for now."
"The solution is heavily dependant on scripts, such as JavaScript or any other external script that needs to be a part of the system. If they want to grow, the scripting dependency should go away. They should have built-in libraries to pull in work from."
"A couple of times, we noticed that some bugs caused the bot to go in the wrong flow."
"We have executed our robots thousands of times in our enterprise environment. However, in an enterprise environment, WorkFusion has performance problems. It is slow in production."
"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."
"If we're talking from a developer perspective, the task of actually building automation is not ideal. That's not their strong side."
"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."
"A better graphical user interface that allows business users to perform automation would make this solution number one in the market."
"We are having some database issues, but we are addressing them."
"The solution is not user-friendly, this is something they should improve."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Once you buy the software, you just pay for the support for backend help."
"I like the way this solution is priced because you can buy a license, or you can buy the software outright."
"I'm only involved in running the product and maintaining the systems, so I can't speak to the cost."
"I believe the price falls within a reasonable range, which significantly influenced our decision regarding the product. This aspect is crucial for any technological solution, especially in our country where enterprises might be hesitant to invest heavily in something untested or uncertain about its practicality and potential returns."
"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."
"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."
"The cost is a bit high for a small business like ours, but we manage with Fortra's Automate."
"From a distributor's perspective, one of the biggest selling points of Automate is its price point."
"INTELLIBOT with the DPA costs approximately $1,500 USD."
"The solution requires a license and we purchased one annually. We were satisfied with the price."
"At the time, one license was $5,000 USD. If we needed to negotiate for more licenses, we could negotiate a bit on the price."
"It is quite cheap. In the year 2019, it was $1000 for a year."
"In addition to the licensing fee, there is also an implementation cost for each use case and technical support costs."
"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."
"Find it online."
"I can't speak to pricing. It's a contract signed by upper management."
"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."
"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."
