We performed a comparison between Blue Prism 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."The ease of use is really good because a lot of business people, who have some idea about logic and who can think in logic, can configure things, because there is no coding."
"It offers assessments by way of a robotics or automation readiness assessment tool, which was quite helpful."
"The most valuable features are the exception handling and embedded control room."
"The credential manager and logs are most valuable. We are using Blue Prism for complex processes because it is easier to troubleshoot in Blue Prism, and the logs are very accurate. It provides the ability to create smaller tasks, which makes it easier to troubleshoot."
"One of the most powerful features in Blue Prism is exception handling. It's one of the features that really differentiates it from other platforms."
"The support is good."
"The solution enables process creation and is object oriented."
"It is a very stable tool that allows very complex automations."
"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 dashboards are quite good, especially on the latest versions."
"The solution seems to offer high stability. We haven't seen any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"Productivity increased far more than thirty percent."
"The system is stable and very little maintenance is required, assuming the bots process is perfectly designed."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Automation Anywhere provides a very flexible UI."
"The solution has been very user-friendly."
"There are a lot of things coming up, such as Discovery Bot and Process Discovery. A lot of other aspects are also maturing. We have definitely started using it for our clients, and it is maturing as a solution, but it is all about how you integrate the enterprise with all the automation projects, such as your chatbot, Conversational AI, and robotics. How they are integrated and talk to each other creates a very good business case with all three aspects. The next level should be about integrating it with other automation tools as well. It can have integration with other tools or automation projects, such as your chatbot, Conversational AI, and robotics."
"The recording of the transaction is missing in this solution."
"I have found that community support is lacking for this solution compared to competitors."
"The reporting system, specifically the system admin reporting could be improved."
"Optical character recognition has room for improvement."
"Emerging technologies adoption is a challenge for every organization, especially the products which address productivity/automation."
"We didn't find it much useful for unstructured data. It is not easy to do the automation with Blue Prism if you have unstructured data. It should have better automation processes or connectors for unstructured data such as PDFs or pictures. It has a connector for different applications, such as SAP, but we use a few other applications for which it doesn't have a connector. It should have a more comprehensive dashboard that we can use to see the processes that are running and control the parameters."
"For developers, they should have some kind of recording feature."
"The licensing schemes could be more competitive. They need to be much more flexible in their pricing."
"The solution doesn't have support like they used to. They need support. We have personnel of our own, but sometimes we need assistance beyond our own team."
"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."
"BotFarm newer version has been difficult to install, we have been in contact with the support on this matter."
"The machine learning needs to be improved so that they perform better in terms of predictive analysis and sentiment analysis."
"The tool must execute remedial actions to resolve problems before they cause significant incidents."
"The dashboard needs improvement. For Bot Farm, the visualization is not that good compared to the main Automation Anywhere dashboard."
"I would definitely be wanting to see OCR features for improving the solution."
