Ganesh-Subramanian - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Rusty  Bradford - PeerSpot reviewer
The support team was great, but we had to rely on them too much because it lacks a drag-and-drop interface and everything is hard coded
Implementing new automations could be more seamless. It was challenging to build within, so we were highly dependent on Infosys developers. They had us over a barrel with that. AssistEdge isn't a simple tool like Blue Prism or other RPA solutions with configurable items that you can drag and drop. This involved a lot of hard coding, which posed two challenges. One, we did not have that skillset, so we depended on Infosys. Two, it's a beast to go back and update or make changes when things are hard coded because you can't just move those configurable items back around.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable features are PDF extraction and emailing."
"The solution has been very user-friendly."
"The system is stable and very little maintenance is required, assuming the bots process is perfectly designed."
"The ability to drag and drop various components and the customizability are good features."
"The entire backend system structure is something that I found really valuable."
"BotFarm is an easy solution to use and the interface is better than older versions."
"The record option and the OCR technology have been great."
"AssistEdge made it so that the reps didn't need to maneuver through 10 or 20 different systems. We tied all that together in the background, so the reps had a shared UI, and everything else happened in the background without their knowledge. When they were retrieving data, it was done in the background through automation and pulling up to that generic UI layer"
"The user interface is not complicated, even for new users. Two to three weeks is enough to get ahold of it."
"Good email automation and XL automation."
"The feature I like the most is the ability to capture elements easily, especially when automating web-based applications. Additionally, I find the SAP connectors to be quite beneficial."
"The tool follows a role-based working model to create things. It helps to track what others are doing with the system."
 

Cons

"The solution can improve the accuracy of hand-written data reading"
"The tool must execute remedial actions to resolve problems before they cause significant incidents."
"The OCR tool, the optical character recognition tool, could be more efficient."
"Sometimes I feel like it doesn't work properly and we are not able to provide the dexterity needed."
"I would like to see more process mining features to give us insight into them before we develop automation."
"When somebody is just learning this product it can be difficult for them to understand, so improvements to the user interface would be helpful."
"We do have some troubles with the internal software commands, but we have been troubleshooting this bug to fix it."
"Normally we need to monitor the solution using an AWS console and the control room. We would like to have a standardized dashboard to see all the information in one place."
"In my opinion, areas for improvement in this solution lie in handling documentation, especially when dealing with data from various layouts or formats like scanned PDFs. Currently, new features are emerging in other tools, like generative AI, that could enhance these aspects."
"There should be more activities like extraction for reading or converting PDFs. There are fewer activities compared to other tools. There are no custom activities."
"Lacks integration with third party tools."
"The tool's alternatives work on drag-and-drop functionality without creating custom code. We don't have an in-built queue system and use RabbitMQ for it. The solution also doesn't have a framework."
"AssistEdge isn't a simple tool like Blue Prism or other RPA solutions with configurable items that you can drag and drop. This involved a lot of hard coding, which posed two challenges. One, we did not have that skillset, so we depended on Infosys. Two, it's a beast to go back and update or make changes when things are hard coded because you can't just move those configurable items back around."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our licensing costs are approximately $3,000 USD annually."
"The starter price is free."
"Its price is quite high as compared to other solutions, but it has a lot of features and good stability. They should reduce its price."
"I think payment can vary but it's a re-occurring fee that needs to be paid every year."
"Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than Blue Prism and UiPath in terms of cost."
"The solution prices are expensive. It would be more beneficial for customers to lower the pricing."
"The licensing is on a monthly basis."
"The pricing model could be simplified."
"EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is cheaper compared to other RPA tools."
