We performed a comparison between BotFarm and UiPath based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most important feature of BotFarm is web automation."
"The solution is very manageable."
"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."
"Automation Anywhere has good document extraction features where it can learn patterns."
"The main features of the solution are the IQ Bot and web-based automation."
"The solution is very stable. We don't have issues with bugs or glitches."
"There are not many challenges when setting up this solution, and there is a good amount of documentation to go with it."
"The best aspect is the UI, as it is very user-friendly."
"The ability to follow and orchestrate what the robots are doing has been very valuable. I've been working on the automation hub because that's the next step after our test case of five robotic implementations. So, it is orchestrated to see how they're doing."
"There is a good support network. Their response time is good. They will find a solution within two days."
"In terms of ROI, we are saving more than what the platform costs us. We are at about 1.5 million in savings due to a recent automation. It was a little less than that before. These are soft savings and don't show up on balance sheets. We're trying to work toward automations that actually do lead to hard savings. We've saved about 43,000 hours in a year so far."
"The OCR feature is very handy to extract structured and semi-structured data from documents."
"We use UiPath for web scraping. We extract data from websites, store them in boxes, and analyze them later."
"The product saves time and effort so employees are spared wasting time on mundane tasks."
"The AI capabilities are the most valuable feature because it reduces human error so we can easily maintain our pipelines and we have a 99.99 percent output early."
"The most valuable feature is its screen recording capability, where you tell it what the workflow should do, and it then automatically creates Activities for you."
"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 dashboard needs improvement. For Bot Farm, the visualization is not that good compared to the main Automation Anywhere dashboard."
"The deployment could be made a little bit easier."
"The CL command poses an issue during the process of data conversion, accuracy, data loss and the assessment of certain data as false."
"BotFarm newer version has been difficult to install, we have been in contact with the support on this matter."
"The OCR tool, the optical character recognition tool, could be more efficient."
"One aspect that can be improved is the accessibility of reusable components for developers. It relates to role-based access and accessibility."
"When somebody is just learning this product it can be difficult for them to understand, so improvements to the user interface would be helpful."
"The Orchestrator is in drastic need of improvement. Three or four years ago, the Orchestrator UI was very simple and comfortable to use but now, they have added so many features that it is difficult for new users to quickly understand it."
"I would like more incorporation of AI features to allow for intelligent character recognition."
"The technical support is a bit of a weak point for this solution, and ideally, they can improve turnaround time so that we don't have to figure things out ourselves as often."
"I would like UiPath to have an offline mode where we can continue to work when there are maintenance issues."
"However, challenges arise when attempting to automate multiple VPN connections."
"We struggle with handwriting recognition. If we had something, maybe in Document Understanding, that would work well with handwriting recognition, it would help us out a lot. Right now, we use an outside vendor for that."
"One area that needs improvement is monitoring. I know there are tools that let us see what a bot is actually doing on the virtual machines. If we could get that kind of offering from UiPath that would be great, because when a bot is running on the machine, we don't know what it's doing."
"I would suggest that they improve the UiPath Connect Enterprise because the planning stage is the most crucial in the RPA life cycle."
