Senior Rpa Consultant at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
Automation has streamlined client data extraction and has improved reporting for business decisions
I work as a developer, and my manager is responsible for the research and analytics for the project with the client and business users. I am satisfied with BotFarm. I would rate my experience with BotFarm an eight out of ten. I do not see any room for improvement for BotFarm. I am using AI tools such as Amazon, Microsoft Azure, and ChatGPT. I am not using AI-powered bots in BotFarm. I am a partner with Automation Anywhere.

Corporate Development Specialist at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Offers a user-friendly interface but lacks enterprise-level features
EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is not difficult to deploy and the process was fine. Concerning deployment time, it usually takes one or two days. It totally depends upon the number of use cases and the processes where we are implementing. It might take weeks as well, depending upon the process in which we are implementing.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The main features of the solution are the IQ Bot and web-based automation."
"The most valuable feature of BotFarm is the fact that we can use escalations when we need more computer power to fulfill all embargo that we receive in one day."
"The best aspect is the UI, as it is very user-friendly."
"The entire backend system structure is something that I found really valuable."
"As a company, if you feel that your ROI is pretty high and with Automation Anywhere you are able to achieve the desired ROI that you are looking for, then I would definitely say Automation Anywhere is a very good solution to adopt."
"Now, we have standardized responses, and our customers are getting better, error-free, and on-time responses."
"Automation Anywhere is a very good solution if you're looking to expand all your work areas."
"There is at least a five or ten times reduction in the amount of time, and more people are free to do something else."
"The user interface is not complicated, even for new users. Two to three weeks is enough to get ahold of it."
"Good email automation and XL automation."
"The feature I like the most is the ability to capture elements easily, especially when automating web-based applications. Additionally, I find the SAP connectors to be quite beneficial."
"AssistEdge made it so that the reps didn't need to maneuver through 10 or 20 different systems. We tied all that together in the background, so the reps had a shared UI, and everything else happened in the background without their knowledge. When they were retrieving data, it was done in the background through automation and pulling up to that generic UI layer"
"The features of EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA that customers find most helpful include the easy understanding and good UI/UX."
"EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is more affordable than UiPath."
"The tool follows a role-based working model to create things. It helps to track what others are doing with the system."
"There are some typical features I like such as email automation, XL automation, some AI/ML capabilities that are evolving, but are not quite mature yet, and I like the website automation."
 

Cons

"The pricing of this product could be better."
"The OCR tool, the optical character recognition tool, could be more efficient."
"IQ Bot, used by BotFarm, needs to be improved with respect to being able to read handwritten documents using the OCR."
"The stability needs to be improved."
"Normally we need to monitor the solution using an AWS console and the control room. We would like to have a standardized dashboard to see all the information in one place."
"The OCR command needs to improve. This feature is used to convert the extracted data from an image file and 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 solution can improve the accuracy of hand-written data reading"
"One aspect that can be improved is the accessibility of reusable components for developers. It relates to role-based access and accessibility."
"AssistEdge isn't a simple tool like Blue Prism or other RPA solutions with configurable items that you can drag and drop. This involved a lot of hard coding, which posed two challenges. One, we did not have that skillset, so we depended on Infosys. Two, it's a beast to go back and update or make changes when things are hard coded because you can't just move those configurable items back around."
"We provide them with consulting and strategy advisory services, but we have never recommended any organization to use EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA."
"There should be more activities like extraction for reading or converting PDFs. There are fewer activities compared to other tools. There are no custom activities."
"The tool's alternatives work on drag-and-drop functionality without creating custom code. We don't have an in-built queue system and use RabbitMQ for it. The solution also doesn't have a framework."
"We provide them with consulting and strategy advisory services, but we have never recommended any organization to use EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA."
"Lacks integration with third party tools."
"The solution could be improved if it provided integration with third party tools like Python, native integration, which is very important."
"In my opinion, areas for improvement in this solution lie in handling documentation, especially when dealing with data from various layouts or formats like scanned PDFs. Currently, new features are emerging in other tools, like generative AI, that could enhance these aspects."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our licensing costs are approximately $3,000 USD annually."
"There is a license for this solution and it is on an annual basis. I am satisfied with the price."
"It is too expensive and not worth the price."
"Its price is quite high as compared to other solutions, but it has a lot of features and good stability. They should reduce its price."
"The license of this solution is on an annual basis. The price is fair. However, what we did initially was a POC, but now we are looking at moving from a POC to expanding it out further. I would appreciate some kind of discount."
"An unattended bot license costs around $5,000, whereas an attended bot license costs roughly $1,500."
"Licenses are paid on a yearly basis and the cost is quite high."
"The starter price is free."
"EdgeVerve AssistEdge RPA is cheaper compared to other RPA tools."
