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."BotFarm has been working perfectly fine with our business model. Its scalability is the most valuable feature. We can easily scale out bots on a need basis. Portability is another valuable feature. We work with different payment systems like Visa and MasterCard and have bots for them. Because of BotFarm, we are able to reuse these bots."
"The ability to drag and drop various components and the customizability are good features."
"The entire backend system structure is something that I found really valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which helps to provide a good user experience."
"The dashboards are quite good, especially on the latest versions."
"The most valuable features I have found to be the screen scraping and the integration with third-party solutions."
"Productivity increased far more than thirty percent."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the Excel automation and support for SharePoint."
"We really like the Orchestrator and how I'm able to see what's going on with all of the different automations."
"The automation Cloud Platform has definitely helped reduce the time it takes to create automation. It brings a lot of things together. It's easy to use for clients and customers. It makes it easy to bring different disciplines together, so I don't need to think about how to reuse my code, or how to explain to the customer, and I don't need to share the processes to be able to release, run, and monitor and to get reports on the results."
"The ability to use APIs within UiPath is really helpful. The web scraping is really great. It's so easy to use, it's very intuitive, and it's usually pretty consistent. When web pages change you need to update it, but it makes it quick. If you need to do another quick process, it's really easy to get it quickly and set something up. I can just scrape data from a website and save it somewhere."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its embedded activities."
"We are the first company to bring UiPath Academy in-house on the 30th of September. When we signed our licensing agreement, we added it in our own LMS. So, we have that connection and everything else. We love it. We've implemented all of their modules: RPA Starter, all three of the development courses, Solution Architect, Business Analyst, and Build a Bot. It's super exciting. It's one of the best things that we've done. I would rate it a five out of five."
"In terms of ease of use, I would rate the solution five out of five. It's really intuitive and any people that have the basics of coding can handle it."
"The seamless integration with programming underneath, so if you choose to, you can get a bit technical with stuff. If there is something missing, you can make it yourself."
"UiPath has improved our organization; the primary difference introduced by the application of the UiPath tool is the speed of processing and accuracy in the data processing."
"The licensing schemes could be more competitive. They need to be much more flexible in their pricing."
"The deployment could be made a little bit easier."
"I would like to be able to access BotForm using a mobile app."
"The pricing of this product could be better."
"When somebody is just learning this product it can be difficult for them to understand, so improvements to the user interface would be helpful."
"The OCR tool, the optical character recognition tool, could be more efficient."
"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."
"An area for improvement in BotFarm is that the communication between the Control Room and the Bot Client Missions isn't utilized well. There's also the issue with PCI DSS compliance or certain regulations that require a set of configurations that are not fully supported by BotFarm. The product should be certified or designed according to the required regulations in the finance industry to make it better."
"UiPath support's technical expertise is impressive, but the response time isn't ideal. When you raise a ticket on the UiPath portal, customer support can sometimes take up to 24 hours to respond."
"We have been looking at Attended Robots, which result in the inability to lock your screen. That is simply a no-go for ever using them in most government agencies, as IT security will prohibit us from using them. If UiPath wants Attended Robots to be used inside a government agency, it needs to be applicable on a virtual desktop."
"Most of our automations have been without a user interface and we need the ability to interact with users directly."
"When we have to capture some text from our invoices and from our notes and do some manual work, sometimes the tool doesn't extract the data in a precise way."
"UiPath Studio supports three types of workflows: sequence, flowchart, and state machine. Flowchart and state machine are good. Sequences are also good, and they're for linear workflows. However, in a sequence, as we keep on dragging and dropping the reusable components, the size of the screen increases. If we drag and drop the conditional or looping activities on the site, the screen size increases in length and breadth, and it becomes too complex for a developer to navigate between activities."
"One of the things that many of our clients ask us about is security. Some of them are really struggling with how to do multi-factor authentication. A robust and solid approach for dealing with multi-factor authentication would be one of the things we would like to see."
"When the Orchestrator got upgraded and UiPath didn't get upgraded, we started getting errors regarding the managed packages; the packages were not getting upgraded."
"When we raise a ticket, they'll ask a number of questions to analyze the problem. It would be better if they connected quickly and it was a call so they can understand the issue and then schedule a follow-up call."
