Pros
"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 main features of the solution are the IQ Bot and web-based automation.""The solution has been very user-friendly.""The most valuable features of this solution are the Excel automation and support for SharePoint.""The product has increased efficiency and reduced the time spent on tasks.""The most valuable feature is the interface, which helps to provide a good user experience.""The initial setup is pretty straightforward.""The solution is very manageable."

Cons
"The discovery suite that they just acquired could be included.""The stability needs to be improved.""We do have some troubles with the internal software commands, but we have been troubleshooting this bug to fix it.""The licensing schemes could be more competitive. They need to be much more flexible in their pricing.""The machine learning needs to be improved so that they perform better in terms of predictive analysis and sentiment analysis.""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 deployment could be simplified.""One aspect that can be improved is the accessibility of reusable components for developers. It relates to role-based access and accessibility."

"Transact could be improved by removing Java and making its pricing more accessible for smaller customers.""Their email service and extraction could be better. We get the input via email, and these emails contain different types of documents like Excel, PDF, or they may contain different content in the email body. Due to this variation, sometimes the email service crashes, and emails aren't redirected to Ephesoft Transact. Ephesoft has provided us with new hotfixes. Whatever flaws we found in the 2019.2 version, they have already updated it in the new version, 20.1.05, and it's already released. Drawbacks like not capturing the handwritten fields are now sorted.""It's not easy to train."

  • "Initially, when I got a licensed copy of Ephesoft Transact, it was for one year. After one year, we had to send an email to the Ephesoft team informing them that our license was going to expire. They updated it and provided one license in our file, and we had to update and install the folder. They have versions for one year and lifelong as well."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Akshay P., Associate Systems Analyst at NSEiT Limited, relates, “It is very easy, simple. You're working on a notepad, and you don't need to know programming to work on this. The dashboards are quite good, especially on the latest versions.”

    A Digital Strategy Manager at an energy/utilities company shares, “The scalability is the solution's most valuable aspect. The reason Bot Farm is used is to have only one license available whenever you have a spike in the transactions. That is a core feature. That is something which we are using to the maximum. It's working well due to the fact that the solution use case is quite structured.”

    A Senior RPA Developer at a tech services company tells us, “The solution is great to automate any repetitive tasks, which you might do on a daily basis. For example, the organization may need to be generating invoices or extracting data from PDF files daily. It is very versatile in what you can automate. This has improved my organization by cutting down on repetitive tasks that now can be automated.”
