Digital Transformation Lead at Expleogroup

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.

Helped us identify areas where frontline staff aren't following standard procedures or using unexpected systems, giving us better insight into our end users' workflows

To analyze and make sense of the data generated by Kryon process discovery can be a lot of effort. It's not as automatic as some might think. It really depends on how many processes you have and how actively you use them. But the scalability aspect isn't necessarily about deployment or technical maintenance. It's really about how you analyze and gain insights from the data gathering. I'd rate the scalability a seven out of ten because the solution has been scaling well for a long time. It's very easy to deploy. But getting value out of it at scale can be a challenge, just like with any deployment. We use it mainly for process discovery. We actually proceed it from different teams. So, we have 15 licenses that we rotate with different people, actually through different teams. So, we do discovery for the online team; we gather the results after about two weeks to a month. We analyze those results, and then we deploy them again on the analytics team. We regularly deploy it to different teams. So, it's in constant use. It just runs on the systems through discovery mode most of the time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 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."

"The solution seems to offer high stability. We haven't seen any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze."

"The main features of the solution are the IQ Bot and web-based automation."

"Automation Anywhere provides a very flexible UI."

"The ability to drag and drop various components and the customizability are good features."

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

"There are not many challenges when setting up this solution, and there is a good amount of documentation to go with it."

More BotFarm pros

"It's very seamless to interact with Excel files and web app pages."

"The recording capability is valuable because of the amount of data it captures automatically. It's quite good. It means less development, and fewer configuration settings to fill in after you're done."

"While we have only explored the simple use cases so far, Nintex RPA has good integration capabilities, such as working well with Gmail and Outlook to automate document handling and notifications."

"We have been using Kryon Process Discovery for about a year now. With our initial tests and monitoring just a couple people, we were able to identify 79 possible use cases within a one-month period."

"Kryon will allow you to automate processes fast and easy and you do not need to be a developer to automate processes."

"The user-friendly environment allows for easy learning, and the end-to-end workflow management is excellent."

"The full-service automation aspects and the process discovery are the most valuable features of Kryon RPA."

"The number of commands it gives us to edit and modify is really good. It also captures screen activities and plays them back."

More Nintex RPA pros

Cons

"The new version is not very stable. Sometimes I can't use the recording sound."

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

"I would definitely be wanting to see OCR features for improving the solution."

"The machine learning needs to be improved so that they perform better in terms of predictive analysis and sentiment analysis."

"The solution can improve the accuracy of hand-written data reading"

"I have called customer service three times and the experience has not been good. They do not offer 24/7 support, which forces us to wait till the next working day to solve a problem."

"Although I like the OCR technology, it could still be further improved."

"I would like to have access to self-service support."

More BotFarm cons

"Often, it's difficult to loop through a large data set unless the bot has access to the Excel file with specific settings and shortcodes."

"Extracting meaningful data requires significant effort. You need a dedicated business analyst who can understand the output."

"From our experience, the product is not suitable for end users."

"What we are lacking is OCR, the ability to read text. We would like it to have the ability to take a page which is free text and analyze it, and then for the robot to know what to do next. This ability does not exist in Kryon products."

"It would be better to have [upgrades] done automatically, like an application on your smartphone. Or even if done manually, the upgrade should just be "next, next, next," and it's upgraded, rather than making it a project to upgrade."

"We need better training and community support in Indonesia."

"What needs improvement in Kryon RPA is the support. Sometimes, the solution has problems, so I contacted support, but I didn't receive immediate help from the team. You have to wait a while before the problem gets solved. This happens a few times in terms of getting cases solved. It would also be better if Kryon RPA had a cloud version because currently, from what I know, it only has an on-premise version, though I could be wrong about that. There isn't any additional feature I'd like added to Kryon RPA because it's a good service, but the support is very, very bad, so that area could be improved."

"I would like to see a better OCR solution. That's the main thing: identifying unstructured data, like all paper documents and data from pictures."

More Nintex RPA cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"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 product is slightly expensive"

"It is too expensive and not worth the price."

More BotFarm pricing and cost advice

"Can't beat the price... There are different pricing levels for every bot or unattended bot. You can buy however many you want. You'll need an additional virtual machine for it to work on."

"We are probably saving $6000 to $8000 a month in labor costs. It's not a ton, but we're right around $60,000 to $80,000 a year with our current deployment."

"Licensing costs are about $100,000 a year without any additional costs."

"We've more than broken even over on the license. Year to date, we are at $120,000 in savings."

"We're paying in the neighborhood of about $66,000 a year. The cost is fairly similar to its competitors' costs. It might have been a little bit more reasonable than the others, and that cost was with Process Discovery in addition."

"Kryon is slightly more expensive compared to UiPath."

"The product has reasonable pricing."

"We have been able to alleviate two FTEs, which was a big savings for us. We were able to reuse those resources in other locations. It is over 5000 hours a year in total savings."

Reviews from Real Users

Akshay P., Associate Systems Analyst at NSEiT Limited, relates, “It is very easy, simple. You're working on a notepad, and you don't need to know programming to work on this. The dashboards are quite good, especially on the latest versions.”

A Digital Strategy Manager at an energy/utilities company shares, “The scalability is the solution's most valuable aspect. The reason Bot Farm is used is to have only one license available whenever you have a spike in the transactions. That is a core feature. That is something which we are using to the maximum. It's working well due to the fact that the solution use case is quite structured.”

A Senior RPA Developer at a tech services company tells us, “The solution is great to automate any repetitive tasks, which you might do on a daily basis. For example, the organization may need to be generating invoices or extracting data from PDF files daily. It is very versatile in what you can automate. This has improved my organization by cutting down on repetitive tasks that now can be automated.”

Using Nintex RPA, enterprises can leverage trained bots to quickly and cost-effectively automate routine tasks without the use of code in an easy-to-use drag and drop interface. Users are now equipped with a comprehensive, enterprise-grade process management and automation solution that streamlines processes fueled by both structured and unstructured data sources.
