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."If we want to read a scanned PDF, we use IQ Bot. Using the cognitive detail of IQ Bot and some machine learning abilities, we can train the IQ Bot to process all scanned PDF documents and give the results in an Excel file. This is a very good feature introduced by Automation Anywhere. IQ Bot is doing well."
"This solution is valuable because it can automate tasks which would otherwise be left for us to process manually."
"From a developer perspective, the user interface is user-friendly and easy to use."
"The marketing automation software provides easy workflow creation and management."
"I like Automation Anywhere's document automation. It can distill or scan documents and convert the information into a structured format."
"With the help of these features, we can automatically fetch data from invoices and websites, which is followed by the automated data entry into the webpage and ERP system."
"Its ease of deployment is the most valuable feature. We have found with many customers that it's quite easy to deploy."
"The universal recorder is a kind of hybrid recorder that enables the user to record the data across devices."
"The dashboards are quite good, especially on the latest versions."
"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 initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The solution is easy to use and easy to apply."
"The system is stable and very little maintenance is required, assuming the bots process is perfectly designed."
"The most important feature of BotFarm is web automation."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the Excel automation and support for SharePoint."
"I would like to see a lot around API integration going forward, like the ability for other systems to talk to the AI better by opening it up. I would like to see more chatbots or anything in the journey of making it truly immersive for human workers working with these bots."
"Automation Anywhere can be improved in certain areas specified in the cognitive zone where the information needs better OCR Engine + Machine Learning capabilities. Also, they can improve on the System Identified region function of the IQ Bot - Our team faced a tough time in handling that as we were not able to assign variable to System Identified Region as the IQ Bot tool wasn't allowing it."
"When it comes to reading email, this solution is unstable and improvements need to be made."
"Configuring A2019 and using it is getting a little difficult because of frequent errors of compatibility. It is not so user friendly like the enterprise desktop version."
"Their OCR is a bit expensive."
"I would like better support. The technical support is mediocre. The support is sometimes really good, and sometimes it is really bad."
"I need high value products to be created, so I need integration with other solutions. Machine learning and AI need to be integrated with Automation Anywhere. While IQ Bot is a good beginning, our company does not work with manual paperwork since we are already digital. We would like to see more integration with cognitive tools going forward."
"The scripting can be a bit difficult."
"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."
"Although I like the OCR technology, it could still be further improved."
"The only challenge that we have faced with BotFarm is that there is no continuous deployment. The whole world is moving to the DevOps model, but BotFarm is still not on the DevOps model. It should have integration with the DevOps model. The migration of the bots or bots pipeline is currently purely manual."
"I have called customer service three times and the experience has not been good. They do not offer 24/7 support, which forces us to wait till the next working day to solve a problem."
"The licensing schemes could be more competitive. They need to be much more flexible in their pricing."
"I would definitely be wanting to see OCR features for improving the solution."
"One aspect that can be improved is the accessibility of reusable components for developers. It relates to role-based access and accessibility."
