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 valuable features of this solution are the Excel automation and support for SharePoint."
"The main features of the solution are the IQ Bot and web-based automation."
"Automation Anywhere has good document extraction features where it can learn patterns."
"The product has increased efficiency and reduced the time spent on tasks."
"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 easy to use and easy to apply."
"BotFarm is an easy solution to use and the interface is better than older versions."
"The solution seems to offer high stability. We haven't seen any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"I like the fact that UiPath makes everything fast, and you don't need to employ as many people to do all the dirty work. All of our clients only used UiPath."
"The most valuable features of UiPath are Excel automation and web portal automation."
"The most valuable aspect of UiPath is that it doesn't require much coding."
"The initial setup is straightforward. There is a lot of guidance in the configuration and actual setup. It feels like installing Windows. It's simple compared to other solutions which tend to be a bit more complex."
"The most important part of Studio is the debugging feature. It gives you the ability to watch local variables, as well as highlight elements as it is moving through the process. The results of actions are displayed and indicate whether particular actions are performed successfully or not."
"UiPath has helped us with compliance-related tasks. These tasks involve reviewing various systems and taking screenshots to get proof of compliance. It's a costly process that can be mostly automated. The employee doesn't need to collect all the proofs; they just have to check if they are correct. For example, they must verify that the referenced time stamp is correct."
"A lot of the prebuilt models that are on an AI Center are valuable. Being able to go in there and train your data, give sample data, label the fields, and different OCR methods are also valuable."
"The Academy courses are good. That's usually what I start new developers with; to do those and then kind of have them go and try to do courses periodically to kind of stay up to date and especially when a new release is coming out. The hands-on training is the most valuable part of it."
"The machine learning needs to be improved so that they perform better in terms of predictive analysis and sentiment analysis."
"We do have some troubles with the internal software commands, but we have been troubleshooting this bug to fix it."
"The tool must execute remedial actions to resolve problems before they cause significant incidents."
"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 image processing capabilities definitely need to be improved."
"I would like to be able to access BotForm using a mobile app."
"The deployment could be made a little bit easier."
"The dashboard needs improvement. For Bot Farm, the visualization is not that good compared to the main Automation Anywhere dashboard."
"We've used AI functionality. On a real-time basis, we haven't seen many benefits from the AI center. It's not cost-effective to run models on it as of now."
"The UiPath Community does not provide version control for the community edition."
"VM was on the service for high density. It is finicky at times. The latest release is a lot more stable. However, I've had a two week production outage where DLLs weren't registered and someone from Vegas had to login for eight hours onto the fraud service to work it out. Even though they uninstalled and re-installed it, all the different apps still wasn't working. So, I have lost a bit of faith in it to be honest."
"When it comes to REFramework, we need more training videos and tutorial documents for beginners."
"When we deploy code into Orchestrator, sometimes there are macro activities that worked in Studio but do not work correctly in production."
"For a few of the projects, we have saved money, however, on a few of these projects we've noticed less revenue. The orchestration cost is a bit higher when we are working on smaller projects."
"If a bot is going to save four to six onshore resources, at least one offshore resource is needed to support it... A lot of bots are highly sensitive. Even the slightest change in screen behavior or a small change in the process and, many times, they are not intelligent enough to run on their own. That means there is a high dependence on the support team. Automation software providers need to improve on this."
"The emailing and integration with self-service BI systems are areas that need improvement."
