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."
"A user can easily adopt this technology and utilize it, when compared to the other available resources in the market."
"Training videos are very good and include detailed examples, which is really helpful for beginners."
"We got the solution because of its ease of use with the API call, avoiding the use of developers."
"I implemented AA in different environments, the AA installation is the smoothest compared to other RPA software installs."
"The most valuable feature is IQ Bot, as it allowed us to train it to extract important logistical information from customer PDF documents, irrespective of the format."
"It removes demotivating, repetitive work from our teams."
"Be it a Windows application, a web application, or a legacy tool, Automation Anywhere is able to achieve automation on these technologies seamlessly."
"The most valuable features I have found to be the screen scraping and the integration with third-party solutions."
"The main features of the solution are the IQ Bot and web-based automation."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Automation Anywhere has good document extraction features where it can learn patterns."
"One of the most valuable features is the solution's simple automation regarding object cloning and strings variables."
"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 product has increased efficiency and reduced the time spent on tasks."
"My experience has been that if the person who codes the bot is not very well-trained, then they might create unstable bots. So, it's not the platform. It is just how somebody has coded the bots which can bring lot of instability to them. I recommend that when you are using a coder that the person well-trained and have a good amount of experience already working on bots. They shouldn't be newbie or beginner who comes in to code because that will impact the quality of the code itself."
"Automation Anywhere could enhance its services by establishing a local office in our region to provide better support."
"It would be helpful if we could start running a process from a particular step."
"One area for improvement in Automation Anywhere (AA) is its monitoring system. It's not that good. Both scalability and stability are also areas for improvement in the tool."
"The solution could improve the integration with some web applications. It was difficult to manage them."
"OCR technology could be more inclusive by offering a wider range of supported languages, as its current selection is limited."
"I just came to understand that there is a cloud attached to it. I would like to see how the cloud is going to work, because every application is coming out with a cloud version. If you are not on-premise, then you will need to have Citrix automation."
"Business processes are more complex and require experts to be brought in to automate."
"The dashboard needs improvement. For Bot Farm, the visualization is not that good compared to the main Automation Anywhere dashboard."
"Although I like the OCR technology, it could still be further improved."
"I would definitely be wanting to see OCR features for improving the solution."
"The solution doesn't have support like they used to. They need support. We have personnel of our own, but sometimes we need assistance beyond our own team."
"We have connectivity and integration with pretty much every single tech stack across the table that we have in the world, and there are a few areas that they don't do that well yet. I'd be looking for some improvement there, in terms of their integration with certain products."
"The solution automation is incapable of interacting with our Pega software application development. It is based on the nested table concept and it is unable to read these tables. Several projects have been put on hold because of that."
"Sometimes I feel like it doesn't work properly and we are not able to provide the dexterity needed."
"When somebody is just learning this product it can be difficult for them to understand, so improvements to the user interface would be helpful."
