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 I have found to be the screen scraping and the integration with third-party solutions."
"The entire backend system structure is something that I found really valuable."
"There are not many challenges when setting up this solution, and there is a good amount of documentation to go with it."
"The dashboards are quite good, especially on the latest versions."
"From a solution standpoint, screen capture and tight integration with Outlook are valuable features."
"The product has increased efficiency and reduced the time spent on tasks."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Automation Anywhere provides a very flexible UI."
"Scraping data from the application using OCR and other text validation features is amazing in UiPath."
"The most valuable thing about this solution is that it is easy to develop and easy to train everyone how to use."
"Basic knowledge of .NET is sufficient to develop a workflow."
"The stability is good. I did not encounter any issues with UiPath."
"I've been pretty impressed with the stability."
"It had pre-built integration with the scanning solution that we use called Kodak Alaris. They use our current scanners to scan in the documents, and then they have the software that allows you to load those documents right into UiPath Orchestrator. That gave us the ability to automate those processes."
"For beginners, UiPath is a very low-code or no-code experience. They can get started with StudioX."
"If you know Python and any other programming language, writing custom scripts is simple. Other solutions like Robocop and Power Automate have less flexibility in the scripting languages you can use."
"We do have some troubles with the internal software commands, but we have been troubleshooting this bug to fix it."
"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."
"The dashboard needs improvement. For Bot Farm, the visualization is not that good compared to the main Automation Anywhere dashboard."
"I would like to have access to self-service support."
"It would be ideal if the solution offered more language options, such as Arabic."
"The image processing capabilities definitely need to be improved."
"The OCR command needs to improve. This feature is used to convert the extracted data from an image file. While converting this file I was facing a lot of issues with the data because it was getting lost and some of the data which was extracted was mismatched. The data loss was rated as a nine and the data accuracy was a massive decrease and was up to 80%."
"The pricing of this product could be better."
"The studio design is a little different. If you go from one tool to the next, you might be a little shocked at how things are organized."
"What I'd like to see is more tutorial videos on YouTube. Maybe they could have a YouTube channel, and the community could empower more content creators to make how-to videos. When clients call us with issues, we wouldn't have to explain."
"One scenario where it is not great is on remote desktop automation, where applications are not directly accessible."
"When it comes to web automation, a change order should be able to be handled more easily."
"The StudioX interface is too different from Studio."
"UiPath is quite expensive compared to Power Automate. That's the main difference, and we have to purchase a new license for every feature."
"OCR-based activities should be improved to handle larger amounts of text."
"The platform that shows the reports and errors is not too transparent."
