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 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."
"The product has increased efficiency and reduced the time spent on tasks."
"The ability to drag and drop various components and the customizability are good features."
"The system is stable and very little maintenance is required, assuming the bots process is perfectly designed."
"BotFarm is an easy solution to use and the interface is better than older versions."
"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 very manageable."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"It is Microsoft. So, you get the integration capability."
"This product is the best in terms of price and capabilities."
"AI Builder is a good add-on."
"Technical support is available regionally and it's quite good."
"We have a good overview of our processes now thanks to Power Automate."
"Power Automate is not complex and is very easy-to-use in deploying most development projects."
"The whole platform seamlessly integrates well."
"The solution is very easy to use. It's a code three platform that works very easily with documents to create custom automations."
 

Cons

"The OCR tool, the optical character recognition tool, could be more efficient."
"There should be more support for developing in environments such as Citrix and Linux."
"I would definitely be wanting to see OCR features for improving the solution."
"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."
"One aspect that can be improved is the accessibility of reusable components for developers. It relates to role-based access and accessibility."
"I would like to have access to self-service support."
"The CL command poses an issue during the process of data conversion, accuracy, data loss and the assessment of certain data as false."
"We do have some troubles with the internal software commands, but we have been troubleshooting this bug to fix it."
"We are looking to see more features implemented there are already available in UiPath or Automation Anywhere."
"When you try to create a flow or work on the flow in Microsoft Power Automate you cannot undo changes. There are no options to edit or, undo an action. This feature would be useful. The editing option within the flow can be enhanced."
"While using this solution, we found it to be basic."
"The solution could benefit from mirroring Oracle's use of videos and community forums to help users get acquainted with the product. It could use better online training and/or documentation."
"There is an RPA feature gap between this solution and other more mature products."
"Compared to other RPA solutions, there is a little bit of a feature gap."
"Microsoft Power Automate's basic activities are not strong."
"When we scale up, we switch to another application."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."
"The product is slightly expensive"
"It is too expensive and not worth the price."
"The licensing is on a monthly basis."
"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 pricing is fair."
"Pricing for this solution can be better."
"The pricing model could be simplified."
"Its license is a part of our enterprise agreement. It is a three-year contract, but we pay yearly. So, it is a yearly license. There are no additional costs."
"You can have two types of licenses, one is user-based, and the other is app-based in the Power Platform."
"It costs us nothing because we use it on the built-in cost that is a part of our existing license for 365. To use it more extensively, there are different pricing models. Its licensing is complex. It is complex to evaluate the cost in advance. As a result, people don't use it because they don't know what overall cost they are going to incur. There are too many criteria to figure out how much it is going to cost you to use the product to its full extent. Its licensing model should be improved, and the pricing should be more visible and transparent."
"Comparatively, WinAutomation is cheaper than the other automation tools. When we purchased the license, it was around $50 or $60 per user most probably per month."
"There should be increased transparency about which features attend the pricing."
"I believe one of the advantages of this device is its low cost."
"We are just using the free products at the moment. We are using the ones that come with the license that we have got."
"When accompanying customers, we discuss the license requirements. Based on these requirements, we suggest whether a per-user plan or multiple platforms per-user plan would be best."
