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."The most valuable features are PDF extraction and emailing."
"They recently released the newest version that has a good program flow, quality, and blueprints that are all good improvements to the automation. They also have good integration with SAP."
"The solution is very manageable."
"The main features of the solution are the IQ Bot and web-based automation."
"One of the most valuable features is the solution's simple automation regarding object cloning and strings variables."
"The solution has very good processes. It's very easy to deploy and has good reviews on it. It offers good automation and the solution has very good developers working on it."
"The solution is easy to use and easy to apply."
"There are not many challenges when setting up this solution, and there is a good amount of documentation to go with it."
"The solution integrates more easily and with more tools than Automation Anywhere."
"Power Automate has allowed us to simplify the business process and improve operational efficiency."
"The best feature is that it doesn't require any other connectivity."
"Microsoft Power Automate is very easy to use."
"The connectors are a very good feature."
"Its integration with the Office 365 ecosystem is most valuable. We use a lot of ready-to-use templates."
"Power Automate is a better and more cost-effective solution compared to Automation tools."
"The solution is easy to understand and to develop connectors."
"The deployment could be simplified."
"The dashboard needs improvement. For Bot Farm, the visualization is not that good compared to the main Automation Anywhere dashboard."
"The stability needs to be improved."
"We have connectivity and integration with pretty much every single tech stack across the table that we have in the world, and there are a few areas that they don't do that well yet. I'd be looking for some improvement there, in terms of their integration with certain products."
"The OCR tool, the optical character recognition tool, could be more efficient."
"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 machine learning needs to be improved so that they perform better in terms of predictive analysis and sentiment analysis."
"The image processing capabilities definitely need to be improved."
"I would recommend removing the AI Builder feature from the automatic document processing functionality. The tool can serve even better with free automatic document processing features, it shouldn’t only be available in the trial version."
"It doesn't have any OCR capabilities."
"Execution of workflows could be improved."
"Microsoft shouldn't charge extra for the database license if you want to store the data in the database during the trial. We wanted to have a historical trend of the data, and we started with the trial version of the tool. The database license is not included with the trial version, and you have to purchase it separately. Because we had a budget constraint, we had to pull all the information manually from the system, massage it, and push it to the dashboard. About two months ago, we have upgraded to the full-fledged version in which the database is integrated. The database license should be there in the trial version, but they have totally decoupled it. They should have provided a bundle, at least for the trial version, so that once a person or a firm gets a sense of it, they can start building. It might be because they wanted to sell additional licenses or premium licenses, and that's why they have added it in the premium version. It should have more cognitive features. Automation Anywhere and UiPath are different because they have cognitive functionality plus intelligent automation. The cognitive functionality is currently not there in Microsoft Power Automate. It is just for workflow automation and basic bot-level tasks. It should have more cognitive features, which probably will be launched in a couple of years."
"Sometimes there are issues with security policies within the company. Some parts get blacked. There are some drawbacks when we use it connected to the cloud. We need to convince clients to open some parts. This is often an issue that originates from the company itself, not Power Automate."
"Tech support could be more hands-on. Right now, they simply direct users to documentation instead of directly dealing with issues."
"I would like to have a user account so that the staff can see all of their requests, including the status and other details for each one, on the dashboard."
"When we scale up, we switch to another application."
