Senior Rpa Consultant at Accely Consulting
Automation has streamlined client data extraction and has improved reporting for business decisions
I work as a developer, and my manager is responsible for the research and analytics for the project with the client and business users. I am satisfied with BotFarm. I would rate my experience with BotFarm an eight out of ten. I do not see any room for improvement for BotFarm. I am using AI tools such as Amazon, Microsoft Azure, and ChatGPT. I am not using AI-powered bots in BotFarm. I am a partner with Automation Anywhere.

Automating processes has saved time and improved communication
Something frustrates me concerning Microsoft Power Automate, and that is about the integration with Microsoft Forms and Excel. The issue now is that I don't get my responses synchronized automatically, and that frustrates me a lot. If the team could take this as feedback, the synchronization of the feedback responses from the forms and the Excel sheets should be seamless. This synchronization issue happens frequently, and it causes a lot of delays in the sense that the mails that ought to go out to the agents fail at some point. I have to reload these responses so that the agents can get their responses as when submitted. What I notice is that the responses don't go out without proper synchronization, so I reload the field responses, and this works afterwards. I would say probably a seamless walkthrough process for new users would be beneficial. For those using it for the first time, a seamless walkthrough process would be fine.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product has increased efficiency and reduced the time spent on tasks."
"The most valuable features are the portals for extracting data from PDF files, appending data to SAP, automating the SAP, downloading reports, and mapping and creating the reports accordingly to your requirements."
"BotFarm is an easy solution to use and the interface is better than older versions."
"What I like most about BotFarm is that it's one of the leading RPA products in the market. Very few products focus on robotics today, so I like that BotFarm offers a lot in terms of what general customers expect it to do."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the Excel automation and support for SharePoint."
"The record option and the OCR technology have been great."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which helps to provide a good user experience."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"It makes work easier."
"With the desktop version, we can automate many things. The ability to do a lot of things is one of the most valuable features."
"The product is very reliable and very easy to use."
"I have seen measurable benefits from Microsoft Power Automate as it saves a significant amount of time, and time saved translates to money."
"Technical support is responsive."
"The solution is easy to understand and to develop connectors."
"It is very easy to learn and use. It is quite useful for any sort of back-office work. Any kind of work with low and medium complexity is very doable in ProcessRobot. For higher complexity, some refinement is required, but it is doable."
"Very reasonably priced."
 

Cons

"The discovery suite that they just acquired could be included."
"The image processing capabilities definitely need to be improved."
"When somebody is just learning this product it can be difficult for them to understand, so improvements to the user interface would be helpful."
"One aspect that can be improved is the accessibility of reusable components for developers. It relates to role-based access and accessibility."
"The CL command poses an issue during the process of data conversion, accuracy, data loss and the assessment of certain data as false."
"The OCR command needs to improve. This feature is used to convert the extracted data from an image file. While converting this file I was facing a lot of issues with the data because it was getting lost and some of the data which was extracted was mismatched. The data loss was rated as a nine and the data accuracy was a massive decrease and was up to 80%."
"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."
"There should be more support for developing in environments such as Citrix and Linux."
"Looping can be a bit tricky."
"It is mostly integrated with the Microsoft environment. Unlike UiPath, we cannot really use external tools with Microsoft Power Automate. There should be a possibility to integrate it with external tools or systems."
"It can have customizations like enterprise solutions. In the approval section, there should be an option to reassign approval to some other employee. It would be good if we are able to create custom tables by linking to an item, and there is an integration with the HTML table through HTTP calls or Swagger connectors."
"We need a more powerful desktop option."
"I had some experience in the past with the solution having some difficulties with large loads, it is already better but it could still be improved."
"One of the challenges is dealing with OCR text recognition."
"Microsoft Power Automate could improve by adding more features to the free version it would be good because there are many features that you have to pay for. There are some functions that IT personnel, like myself, have a difficult time using and could be made more user-friendly."
"I've had issues with reordering columns. When I tried to do it, it seemed to take a long time, and then, later, it gave me some kind of error."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."
"The product is slightly expensive"
"It is too expensive and not worth the price."
"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."
"The licensing is on a monthly basis."
"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."
"The pricing is fair."
"Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than Blue Prism and UiPath in terms of cost."
"Licensing is on an annual basis."
"It is free with Office 365 subscription."
"The pricing of this solution is very good and for me, it's the best option there is."
"The price of the solution is reasonable. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"This solution is bundled with our Office 365, so there is no additional licensing fee."
"The price is right. If you have Office 365 It's included."
"This is the cheapest option among competitors. You can choose to have the RPA with attendance at $40/month with add-on's totaling about $190. There are standalone options that require someone to run the process and there are fully automated options that are integrated within the cloud."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing two to three out of ten."
