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."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 most valuable features of this solution are its scalability, security using the credential vault, and ease of use for business."
"The addition of excel advanced to directly append worksheets, add formulas, etc was very beneficial and made the code development faster."
"By using SNMP configurations and Excel, I was able to read the mail. I used this functionality to categorize the fabric, then I used this information to correlate the value to Jira along with Excel."
"Automation Anywhere has a very rich and easy to use interface. This makes it very intuitive. As an organization, we give training to business users to help them automate themselves. It is an easy to go, create your own scripts, and logic. The typical commands which they have in the workbench are very helpful for us."
"We are getting massive efficiencies across our back office, internally."
"AA has good coverage in terms of out-of-the-box functionality for bot development and management."
"Automation Anywhere receives high marks for its ease of use."
"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 most valuable feature is the rapid deployment of multiple bots."
"Automation Anywhere has good document extraction features where it can learn patterns."
"The most important feature of BotFarm is web automation."
"BotFarm is an easy solution to use and the interface is better than older versions."
"The solution is very manageable."
"The dashboards are quite good, especially on the latest versions."
"The solution is easy to use and easy to apply."
"It is not able to use OCR effectively and has limited usability."
"Automation Anywhere can also be improved in machine learning and artificial intelligence. It would make our lives easier."
"Our current version needs drag and drop, but that should be in the next release."
"We would like to be able to directly implement automation for Word documents and XML."
"As a solution, it could have been easier to use than in the current state."
"It could be improved in terms of the global analysis of all the issues caused by the dependency components. For example, if bots are running on virtual machines on Microsoft Windows 2019, sometimes an issue might come from the virtual machine. Automation Anywhere should work closely with Microsoft or any other editor with which there are some issues occurring and stopping the bots from running properly."
"I feel the tool has to provide deeper insights for debugging issues, considering both internal and external factors."
"I would like to see them expand the service catalog with RCA add-ons to the current RPA package."
"The new version is not very stable. Sometimes I can't use the recording sound."
"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 discovery suite that they just acquired could be included."
"The OCR tool, the optical character recognition tool, could be more efficient."
"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."
"The solution automation is incapable of interacting with our Pega software application development. It is based on the nested table concept and it is unable to read these tables. Several projects have been put on hold because of that."
