We performed a comparison between BotFarm and Microsoft Power Automate 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."It is easy to use and very stable. It is a rugged product, and it doesn't break so easily."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable features are the portals for extracting data from PDF files, appending data to SAP, automating the SAP, downloading reports, and mapping and creating the reports accordingly to your requirements."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which helps to provide a good user experience."
"The ability to drag and drop various components and the customizability are good features."
"The most valuable features I have found to be the screen scraping and the integration with third-party solutions."
"From a solution standpoint, screen capture and tight integration with Outlook are valuable features."
"The solution has been very user-friendly."
"The initial setup was easy. It was very easy for people to pick up. The deployment took a few hours."
"The most valuable feature is that you can run multiple automations at the same time, in parallel."
"The development time for ProcessRobot is very good compared to other solutions."
"Third-party integrations with third-party applications are quite easy."
"The most valuable features are that it is low-code and simple."
"Different trigger events were most valuable. You could schedule a process on a recurring basis, at a certain time of day or week, or when something happens, which is huge."
"The solution integrates more easily and with more tools than Automation Anywhere."
"It works best to build cloud flows."
"When somebody is just learning this product it can be difficult for them to understand, so improvements to the user interface would be helpful."
"Its UI could be made better. It should also be more flexible. Currently, it is more rigid, and a little more flexibility is required. Their technical support should also be better. We are not very happy with their technical support. Its price is also quite high as of now. They should improve its price. Its setup should also be made easier. It is quite complex to set it up. Even though we were able to set it up a little fast because we had done something similar earlier, but it has a very complex setup. It is extremely resource-hungry. If they can make it a little light on resources, that would also be useful."
"I would like to see more process mining features to give us insight into them before we develop automation."
"The pricing of this product could be better."
"I would definitely be wanting to see OCR features for improving the solution."
"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 new version is not very stable. Sometimes I can't use the recording sound."
"The licensing schemes could be more competitive. They need to be much more flexible in their pricing."
"When compared to other workflow automation tools out there, it's just not as mature."
"The product should improve its RPA capabilities."
"From an improvement perspective, Microsoft just needs to make sure that they have a real enterprise RPA tool. PowerApps and Power Automate are still not at the level of UiPath and Automation Anywhere. It could be because Automation Anywhere and UiPath have been in the market for quite some time. It's just about Microsoft increasing their focus in terms of product reviews and development and making them competitive products that one can consider at an enterprise level. Right now, their use cases are limited as compared to what one would consider doing with UiPath and Automation Anywhere."
"The solution is still maturing, and it's going to take time for that to happen."
"The debugging tools require improvement as well as the monitoring which goes along with it."
"The OCR functionality needs to be improved."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"The downside is the lack of orchestration and supplemental tools such as capturing existing processes and using them to build out."
