We performed a comparison between BotFarm and UiPath 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 I have found to be the screen scraping and the integration with third-party solutions."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the Excel automation and support for SharePoint."
"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."
"BotFarm is an easy solution to use and the interface is better than older versions."
"From a solution standpoint, screen capture and tight integration with Outlook are valuable features."
"The solution seems to offer high stability. We haven't seen any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"One of the most valuable features is the solution's simple automation regarding object cloning and strings variables."
"There are not many challenges when setting up this solution, and there is a good amount of documentation to go with it."
"We’ve improved our efficiency. Even just our cost analysis has been great. As we do new contracts, we know what it's going to cost exactly."
"Although we don't use it, document understanding for our use cases is very compelling, but it was a little cost prohibitive just out the gate. We are looking at it long-term now that we have the data filtered if we can more strategically apply it to the best data to fit it. But overall, the platform is very innovative. I don't think I can call out one particular feature. The ease of use of integrating to and from Amazon components, being a cloud-native application ourselves, has been really helpful in the development and the ease of transferring documents between our internal systems and platform."
"if you are a business user, even if you don't have a technical team, you can install the second version of the Community edition, which is StudioX. This is specifically made for business people who don't have a lot of ideas about technicalities. This is a great feature."
"The quick delivery is good, and the solution is easy to use."
"The cloud feature is valuable. Automation Hub and AI fabric are also good features."
"The automation Cloud Platform has definitely helped reduce the time it takes to create automation. It brings a lot of things together. It's easy to use for clients and customers. It makes it easy to bring different disciplines together, so I don't need to think about how to reuse my code, or how to explain to the customer, and I don't need to share the processes to be able to release, run, and monitor and to get reports on the results."
"The first feature that I like is the exception-handling capability. The second feature is the REframework provided by them, and the third feature would be the Orchestrator functions."
"The eagerness of UiPath engineers and their salespeople to help us along the process has helped us align ourselves more with UiPath."
"There should be more support for developing in environments such as Citrix and Linux."
"I have called customer service three times and the experience has not been good. They do not offer 24/7 support, which forces us to wait till the next working day to solve a problem."
"It would be ideal if the solution offered more language options, such as Arabic."
"The pricing of this product could be better."
"The deployment could be made a little bit easier."
"I would like to see more process mining features to give us insight into them before we develop automation."
"I would like to have access to self-service support."
"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."
"Looking to go from structured to unstructured data, then UiPath needs to be able to handle understanding natural language and scanning of documents which are not well-written or visible, in terms scanning quality. These are probably the easiest target areas to improve on first."
"I don't know if it's UiPath as much as just what we do is really complicated. Even the consultants that we've used with UiPath, even they've said, wow, this is very difficult what you guys do. There are a lot of moving parts, so it's not as much of a UiPath problem in terms of limitations. It's just our own processes."
"It needs to be easier to use with more low code."
"AI and ML need further improvements to reach mature status."
"The performance could be improved, and it is especially noticeable on older hardware."
"I would like it to be more user-friendly."
"I would like them to continue to build and make Studio easier to use for non-technical people."
"UiPath needs to be easier to use."
