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."A has a bouquet of features that can be used in our projects. We have utilized all the features in our existing projects. It may be task bots, meta bots, or IQ bots. The features in the AA bots may be object cloning or security features where the bots can be triggered only from the control room and will help clients to maintain their security concerns."
"It has helped us look at how our processes are organized."
"The MetaBot is a very good feature that allows me to do things that were not available in earlier versions."
"I'm impressed with the scalability. We are able to do changes. We are able to scale from different environments now with the Control Room in version 10 and 11. The scalability is pretty good. It is up to the mark of the other market competitors."
"The product has saved us a lot of time by reducing manually tasks, like entering data into Excel."
"Its integration with source control is very refreshing. There could be a little bit more maturity around how to do some of the features, but not having to go outside the app, not having a separate set of procedures, allows you to check in and check out right from within the app. You can make edits and uploads and undo your checkouts."
"The best feature is the drag-and-drop command. Users with less coding knowledge can also automate their end-to-end processes very easily."
"Our workforce has limited capacity. By adding this solution, we can increase the amount of work coming in without adding to our workforce."
"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."
"There are not many challenges when setting up this solution, and there is a good amount of documentation to go with it."
"The solution is very stable. We don't have issues with bugs or glitches."
"One of the most valuable features is the solution's simple automation regarding object cloning and strings variables."
"They recently released the newest version that has a good program flow, quality, and blueprints that are all good improvements to the automation. They also have good integration with SAP."
"The solution is easy to use and easy to apply."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the Excel automation and support for SharePoint."
"I would like a better code migration solution, because this is something that we do a lot."
"The mobile application can be improved by adding more functions and capabilities abuse right now, only a few features are enabled for mobile users."
"The OCR can be a little better because sometimes while scrapping, it leads to data loss."
"I am looking into IQ Bot, but I wanted more out of it. I am dealing with a lot of scanned documents. I want to see if Automation Anywhere can scan client emails for us because our clients send emails with some incidents and issues. We want to see how automation can automatically do the processing and create some structured data or automate bots to get work done."
"It would be great if there will be a built-in machine learning model available in the AA, so the developer can directly map it with their task and train the model accordingly."
"Most of the Excel commands such as filtering and removing duplicates are not available."
"I have not seen bots working efficiently in the area of reporting."
"They need to make the solution more robust."
"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 deployment could be made a little bit easier."
"One aspect that can be improved is the accessibility of reusable components for developers. It relates to role-based access and accessibility."
"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."
"Sometimes I feel like it doesn't work properly and we are not able to provide the dexterity needed."
"I would like to be able to access BotForm using a mobile app."
"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."
