We performed a comparison between Automation Anywhere (AA) and BotFarm 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 valuable features for us are the Image Recognition and Object Cloning. We used this feature to automate our web-based tasks with repetitive actions or complex conditions. These features are very easy to use and do not require you to have deep knowledge in programming to understand since it has a drop and drag feature used to control it."
"The most valuable feature is the conversion of PDF Invoices to CSV and to PDF Boxes."
"Bot Insights is neatly integrated into the platform, which enables us to develop rapidly and train the learning instances using pre-defined domains over the purchase orders, forms, and invoices that need to be processed."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the MetaBot, which gives you the power to add many DLLs and customize them for the automation."
"They have a credential vault, which is 256-bit encrypted. That is the highest security that can be provided when it comes to credential maintenance. With a credential vault, other than the user who is entering the password, no one else knows what the password is."
"The tool is a huge time saver. If I want to do something manually, it will take half an hour, but the bot can do the task within minute or seconds. In a day, month, or year, this will be a huge amount of time for me. A reduction to a fraction of seconds will be a big impact."
"Training videos are very good and include detailed examples, which is really helpful for beginners."
"The product has improved our organization cost-wise and bank savings in transactions. Everything has been changed for the better."
"There are not many challenges when setting up this solution, and there is a good amount of documentation to go with it."
"The most important feature of BotFarm is web automation."
"It is easy to use and very stable. It is a rugged product, and it doesn't break so easily."
"One of the most valuable features is the solution's simple automation regarding object cloning and strings variables."
"The main features of the solution are the IQ Bot and web-based automation."
"The dashboards are quite good, especially on the latest 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 seems to offer high stability. We haven't seen any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"There is room for improvement in terms of costs and procurement considerations."
"PDF extraction and cognitive automation need improvement."
"We had a major issue when it came to single sign-on. We couldn't get it working. There was a bug in Automation Anywhere that eventually got solved just a few weeks back. However, we have not implemented it. We have had hiccups with the single sign-on, but otherwise it was a smooth setup. We are not using single sign-on because of this bug."
"More structured and unstructured data collection will be a challenge. While we have the IQ Bot tool, the success rate at the beginning will be lower. It will be around 20 to 30 percent at the start because you need to train the bot at regular intervals. Of course, this depends on the data. This area could use be improvement."
"The Excel part needs improvement because we use it as a database. Right now, we are using UiPath for this feature, as that RPA tool allows us to sort, search, and filter in Excel databases."
"Though the courses in the certification's learning hub are great and awesome, there is some more space for adding more explained contents."
"I would like to see a global error handler introduced, which will explicitly handle errors over the entire project."
"Although, IQ Bot has data being extracted from it. It can improve with more features, like handwritten copies that are readable."
"The image processing capabilities definitely need to be improved."
"The deployment could be made a little bit easier."
"The tool must execute remedial actions to resolve problems before they cause significant incidents."
"The discovery suite that they just acquired could be included."
"We do have some troubles with the internal software commands, but we have been troubleshooting this bug to fix it."
"It would be ideal if the solution offered more language options, such as Arabic."
"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."
