BotFarm Reviews

We are a service provider and this is one of the solutions that we offer for our clients.

The most valuable feature is the rapid deployment of multiple bots.

It should be easier to create an environment for bots to operate in.

There should be more support for developing in environments such as Citrix and Linux. 

I have been working with BotFarm for about two years.

Scalability for BotFarm is great.

We are satisfied with the technical support from Automation Anywhere. They have been helpful in solving issues, including while we are implementing BotFarm.

I have been familiar with RPA for four or five years and BotFarm represents a big step forward. Other companies are running basic RPA, whereas, with this solution, you can move towards digitalized management instead of working with a single bot.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward for people who are familiar with Automation Anywhere products. However, for people without that know-how, it can be complex.

We did have some technical issues through our implementation, but the support team is quite helpful.

The length of time required for deployment depends on the environment, but the average is between one and two weeks.

Overall, this is a pretty good product and nobody else in the market is providing RPA at this level.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

BotFarm is a group of bots running on the Automation Anywhere platform.

We have a banking and invoicing system and this solution is used for the automation of operations. It includes day to day invoicing and bank-related activities. We do not have anything complicated in the data extraction.

This solution gives us the ability to switch between Chrome and IE.

Automation Anywhere has good document extraction features where it can learn patterns.

The user interface is fine.

The community forums can be improved a little bit because they have mixed solutions or discussions with respect to some ideas.

I would like to see more process mining features to give us insight into them before we develop automation.

We have been using this solution for the past three months.

Compared to the other automation products that we have seen, stability is good.

We have not had to scale this solution yet.

Technical support is really good. When we have had issues, they have been able to help us. They gave us several solutions based on the challenges that we were facing. 

The initial setup was pretty basic. We do not need a complicated setup here for the moment.

I installed this solution myself.

Initially, we were thinking about using another vendor but decided to stay with Automation Anywhere.

My advice to anybody who is implementing this solution is to carefully consider what it is that you need to do because it requires planning. With the correctly planning, the RPA deployment will be stable.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Our primary use case is to extract data from websites.

The most valuable features of this solution are the Excel automation and support for SharePoint.

The interface is user-friendly. 

The pricing of this product could be better.

I have been using BotFarm for three years.

It's a stable product. We have not experienced any issues.

We have not explored scalability yet. We have 10 people who are using this solution in our organization.

Technical support is good.

The initial setup was straightforward.

Deployment is quite quick.

Licenses are paid on a yearly basis and the cost is quite high.

We also evaluated the Blue Prism.

I would recommend this solution to anyone who is interested in using it.

I would rate BotFarm an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for our internal stations.

The solution is easy to use and easy to apply.

The stability needs to be improved.

I've been using the solution for three months.

The solution needs improved stability.

The solution is very scalable.

Technical support is very good.

We didn't use a different solution. This is the first evaluation we did and we decided to go with it.

Deployment took about a month and a half because it's a controlled pilot that we're running, so we weren't officially signed up with authorization in Europe.

The pricing is very good. I'd actually pay a higher price; I think it's worth more. 

They have another retention fee that compensates for the standard licensing fee. There is another that can extract fees as well.

We're using the enterprise version of the solution and an unfinished deployment model.

I'd rate the solution six out of ten. To give it a higher rating, the solution needs to boost its public services and machine capabilities.

In terms of advice, I'd give to others considering implementation, I'd say that they need to trust the methods. Consider things early to find the gaps properly.
