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.

IT Planning Assistant Manager at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

Frees up employee time but can't run when computer system is locked

Something that could be improved is that this solution can't run when the computer is locked, which meant we had to implement it in our own on-prem server as it never auto-locks. It would be better if, when we have scheduled a scenario, it would log into the system automatically.

Shamus Cardon

IT Engineer III at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees

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

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

"I find the ease of use from a programming perspective very valuable."

"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."

"Overall, the whole product is really nice and provides significant benefits."

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

"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."

"The product effectively handles all the tasks we require."

"The most valuable features for my client are timing and scheduling."

More Automate pros

"This software is very smart - it can decide from a picture if we like that condition, and then the robot will do that action."

"The tool's most valuable feature is data import. The OCR feature helps to recognize the data. It can recognize screen and document numbers well."

"It is useful that WorkFusion provides the entire infrastructure, which allows me to focus on writing code without worrying about maintenance."

"In terms of stability, it's quite good. It's an internal IP product."

"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 feature is that it is easy to use."

"The platform remains stable with well-designed processes, despite being a complex and technical tool."

"We can see that its competitive ability is quite good."

"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."

"WorkFusion helps by speeding up processes. The process takes time. It has business costs associated because there are people waiting to take the next steps in the process. The end result of waiting, whether it is an internal or external team, is that they are delayed. Therefore, it helps us in speeding up business processes and improving employee morale, as people don't have to do repetitive work anymore."

More WorkFusion pros

Cons

"The product also has a limited use case in some respects."

"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."

"The solution has a very weak knowledge base."

"The documentation is not that great."

"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."

"The OCR for Hebrew text needs to be improved."

"They do not encrypt passwords, so this is an issue with HIPAA compliance."

"Some companies have asked for voice integration. This is likely part of the roadmap."

More Automate cons

"Something that could be improved is that this solution can't run when the computer is locked, which meant we had to implement it in our own on-prem server as it never auto-locks."

"The OCR has issues recognizing handwritten data."

"There is enhanced functionality I would like to see, things that would further enhance the user experience, deliver greater efficiencies, and further mitigate risk."

"One thing we didn't like was their OCR solution. We felt it's somewhat inefficient."

"We would like to see further improvement in the area of running headless."

"Machine learning models for document-heavy processes have room for improvement because they require significant effort to train and update."

"I would also like for it to be NLP-based."

"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."

"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."

"This is a Java-based application that takes up a lot of space and when it runs, consumes a lot of memory. This affects the reliability because it gets to a point where it hangs."

More WorkFusion cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

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

"I'm only involved in running the product and maintaining the systems, so I can't speak to the cost."

"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."

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

"Compared to other products, the pricing model for this solution is much more convenient, flexible, and adaptable to the Portuguese reality."

More Automate pricing and cost advice

"We pay yearly for the agent who runs the processes, plus an additional fee for maintenance costs."

"I can't speak to pricing. It's a contract signed by upper management."

"In addition to the licensing fee, there is also an implementation cost for each use case and technical support costs."

"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."

"We are on an annual contract to use the solution."

"Find it online."

"We have a good deal from WorkFusion. We have an unlimited global licensing deal with WorkFusion. For us, it is a no-worry solution. We can go ahead and use it as much as possible anywhere we need it. If WorkFusion has a different kind of a deal for licensing with others, then their business decisions need to be evaluated based on that."

"The pricing is fair because WorkFusion's out-of-the-box solution is appealing."

"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."
