We performed a comparison between Automation Anywhere (AA) and BotFarm based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The drag-and-drop feature is valuable."
"We're able to create reusable components. We don't want people to have to rebuild things from scratch. In this way, developers can take the reusable components and complete their development processes more quickly."
"Automation Anywhere has a very rich and easy to use interface. This makes it very intuitive. As an organization, we give training to business users to help them automate themselves. It is an easy to go, create your own scripts, and logic. The typical commands which they have in the workbench are very helpful for us."
"Being able to connect with third-party tools is the best feature."
"The ability to automate repetetive tasks and processing that should not require human intervention."
"IQ Bot is the most valuable integrated feature of Automation Anywhere."
"The interface is a lot better than a lot of other tools which are out there."
"The ease of use and its ability to change the code when something in the main process or core process changes. The ease of use is really good."
"The solution has very good processes. It's very easy to deploy and has good reviews on it. It offers good automation and the solution has very good developers working on it."
"The solution is easy to use and easy to apply."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The product has increased efficiency and reduced the time spent on tasks."
"BotFarm is an easy solution to use and the interface is better than older versions."
"The ability to drag and drop various components and the customizability are good features."
"Productivity increased far more than thirty percent."
"It is easy to use and very stable. It is a rugged product, and it doesn't break so easily."
"AI would enable improved automation and faster training times that would be reduced from one month to one week."
"Blue Prism is more secure than Automation Anywhere. E.g., Blue Prism has a system that is difficult to penetrate. You can't simply go into their system and make any changes."
"The UI can be improved a little bit to make it easier for beginners to understand."
"One area where I think there's an opportunity to do things a lot better is in the analytics function. They do have a concept or product called Bot Insights. It hasn't worked for us. It isn't as plug and play as we were led to believe, which is unfortunate. I can absolutely understand the value, and the demonstrations that I've seen of Bot Insights are sensational. But, we just haven't been able to make it work. We've invested a lot of time and effort trying to make it work to no avail."
"With the automation copilot, if I have any internal tool or application and I want to pass on variables, I don't have it. Maybe the team can work on it to make it more efficient to make it work better across all automations."
"I would like to use VB.NET native code inside of Automation Anywhere."
"We looked at the Bot Store initially and didn't find much."
"Support is not very satisfactory."
"I would like to have access to self-service support."
"The only challenge that we have faced with BotFarm is that there is no continuous deployment. The whole world is moving to the DevOps model, but BotFarm is still not on the DevOps model. It should have integration with the DevOps model. The migration of the bots or bots pipeline is currently purely manual."
"The deployment could be simplified."
"I have called customer service three times and the experience has not been good. They do not offer 24/7 support, which forces us to wait till the next working day to solve a problem."
"The solution automation is incapable of interacting with our Pega software application development. It is based on the nested table concept and it is unable to read these tables. Several projects have been put on hold because of that."
"We do have some troubles with the internal software commands, but we have been troubleshooting this bug to fix it."
"The user experience could be made a little better with this solution. I find it difficult to find qualified people to be able to use the solution."
"The deployment could be made a little bit easier."
