An RPA tool to automate functions, tasks, and processes that also allows users to do coding from the scratch
In my company, we use AutomationEdge as an RPA tool, which has to automate the automatic functions within our company on a daily basis for repetitive tasks. We need to automate the aforementioned functions in a short period of time with AutomationEdge. I work in the banking sector, and we use…

Offers enhancement in data accuracy with low-code requirements and easy onboarding
It's a scalable product. In our organization, we sometimes write a script once and reuse it several times, which improves workflow efficiency. Our team inputs the datasets one by one or in a batch mode into BotFarm and schedules them or calls individually as needed. For instance, if one individual has 15 or 20 forms that need to be scanned and logged immediately, it's possible to implement with BotFarm and its scheduling operations. The solution is ideal for small and medium-sized enterprises and can fit in for large enterprises as well, depending upon the use case. For instance, if 100 agents are working across different locations through a mobile app, all the data from the agents can be stored in a common repository and scheduled. BotFarm can be configured based on the architecture and business operations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The support from the vendor is very good."
"The initial setup was easy and straightforward."
"The ability to automate our processes with external plug-ins and zero code is the most valuable feature."
"If we want to change your processes, we can code it from scratch, making it a beneficial feature of the product."
"It is a valuable tool for developing efficient solutions, especially in finance and banking."
"The studio design is fine compared to other similar products. There is nothing extraordinary about it, but at the same time, there are not any negatives."
"We can quickly adapt to our end users."
"The chatbot that they have is most valuable. It is one of the best features because they own it, and they don't need to integrate with other parties to have a chatbot. This is one of the main features. The rest of the features are common to all RPA tools or vendors available in the market."
"The solution reduces manual data errors and improves data accuracy"
"From a solution standpoint, screen capture and tight integration with Outlook are valuable features."
"BotFarm has been working perfectly fine with our business model. Its scalability is the most valuable feature. We can easily scale out bots on a need basis. Portability is another valuable feature. We work with different payment systems like Visa and MasterCard and have bots for them. Because of BotFarm, we are able to reuse these bots."
"The entire backend system structure is something that I found really valuable."
"Automation Anywhere provides a very flexible UI."
"The dashboards are quite good, especially on the latest versions."
"The system is stable and very little maintenance is required, assuming the bots process is perfectly designed."
"The most valuable feature of BotFarm is the fact that we can use escalations when we need more computer power to fulfill all embargo that we receive in one day."
 

Cons

"The installation process could improve. It was difficult to complete."
"With other automation solutions in the market, we can simulate the process in our notebooks where the solution creates the code for us, but with AutomationEdge we can't do this."
"With the solution, customizing software can be time-consuming."
"In the future, they should have a similar version for the cloud and on-premises, and the installation should be flawless within few minutes."
"AutomationEdge's primary issue is its price point, especially compared to other products."
"The price of the solution could be improved."
"The ease of use is the main thing on which they really have to focus. If they want to go against the giants, it should be improved in ease of use, and it should be more user-friendly. It would be helpful because everyone should be empowered irrespective of whether they know how to code or not. They should enhance its user interface and make it more intuitive."
"There are some shortcomings in the product's stability that need improvement."
"The deployment could be made a little bit easier."
"The tool must execute remedial actions to resolve problems before they cause significant incidents."
"The deployment could be simplified."
"The CL command poses an issue during the process of data conversion, accuracy, data loss and the assessment of certain data as false."
"I would definitely be wanting to see OCR features for improving the solution."
"There should be more support for developing in environments such as Citrix and Linux."
"The machine learning needs to be improved so that they perform better in terms of predictive analysis and sentiment analysis."
"We have connectivity and integration with pretty much every single tech stack across the table that we have in the world, and there are a few areas that they don't do that well yet. I'd be looking for some improvement there, in terms of their integration with certain products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is available at the lowest price."
"Price-wise, AutomationEdge is pretty affordable, making it not so expensive when you compare this with other tools in the market."
"The licensing for this solution should have a more competitive pricing model. The price is in the top five of similar products."
"If you are looking for a budget solution, you can consider AE. It has all the features. Scaling it is way easier because of the cost itself."
"I give the price of the solution a nine out of ten."
"It is expensive but its value can justify the cost."
"Pricing can be made better. Currently, I think the pricing is based on the market. The pricing also depends on the business partners that offer you the solution."
"The license of this solution is on an annual basis. The price is fair. However, what we did initially was a POC, but now we are looking at moving from a POC to expanding it out further. I would appreciate some kind of discount."
"An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."
"The product is slightly expensive"
"There is a license for this solution and it is on an annual basis. I am satisfied with the price."
"Pricing for this solution can be better."
"The pricing model could be simplified."
"The licensing is on a monthly basis."
"It is too expensive and not worth the price."
