Senior Rpa Consultant at Accely Consulting
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.

Automating processes has saved time and improved communication
Something frustrates me concerning Microsoft Power Automate, and that is about the integration with Microsoft Forms and Excel. The issue now is that I don't get my responses synchronized automatically, and that frustrates me a lot. If the team could take this as feedback, the synchronization of the feedback responses from the forms and the Excel sheets should be seamless. This synchronization issue happens frequently, and it causes a lot of delays in the sense that the mails that ought to go out to the agents fail at some point. I have to reload these responses so that the agents can get their responses as when submitted. What I notice is that the responses don't go out without proper synchronization, so I reload the field responses, and this works afterwards. I would say probably a seamless walkthrough process for new users would be beneficial. For those using it for the first time, a seamless walkthrough process would be fine.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Productivity increased far more than thirty percent."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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 system is stable and very little maintenance is required, assuming the bots process is perfectly designed."
"From a solution standpoint, screen capture and tight integration with Outlook are valuable features."
"The dashboards are quite good, especially on the latest versions."
"The entire backend system structure is something that I found really valuable."
"Automation Anywhere provides a very flexible UI."
"It is quick, so I'm quite happy with it. It is also easy to use."
"The initial setup was easy. It was very easy for people to pick up. The deployment took a few hours."
"Microsoft Power Automate is a no-code platform which is very easy to learn, allowing businesses to build their own small automations."
"Its usability is very valuable because it has a quite simple flow. It is very user-friendly. It provides you templates. I started learning with the help of Teams templates, and then I started providing them. It is always good to start with a template so that you understand how it works. Its branches are quite user-friendly. You can put expressions in it. It allows you to link and test the flow so that you can check whether everything is running properly. From a business standpoint, Power Automate is quite good for a non-tech person. It is not like Java, HTML, or C++, which are very developer-driven. Power Automate is a more business-oriented kind of tool."
"I believe document reading has been beneficial when dealing with Microsoft."
"The solution has saved us hours of work."
"The solution offers a lot of documentation and tutorials for users to learn about various aspects and features."
"The development time for ProcessRobot is very good compared to other solutions."
 

Cons

"I would like to have access to self-service support."
"There should be more support for developing in environments such as Citrix and Linux."
"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 deployment could be simplified."
"The user experience could be made a little better with this solution. I find it difficult to find qualified people to be able to use the solution."
"The solution doesn't have support like they used to. They need support. We have personnel of our own, but sometimes we need assistance beyond our own team."
"The dashboard needs improvement. For Bot Farm, the visualization is not that good compared to the main Automation Anywhere dashboard."
"When you are doing desktop automation, they do not have a clear structure to create the code."
"Automatic selectors that allow me to select parts of a website could be more adaptable."
"There could be more communication with third-party cloud tools."
"Microsoft Power Automate could improve by offering recurring execution on the desktop."
"The solution lacks maturity."
"We expect Microsoft Power Automate to work like any other RPA software, but at present, it is fairly lax, especially in the RPA space. We have a very limited set of use cases today for Microsoft Power Automate. Microsoft should make it a full-featured RPA product like other solutions that we use, such as Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism, and UiPath. This is predominantly the area that they need to improve on. Microsoft Power Automate is quite complex to use as well, especially if you want to do advanced workflows or advanced automation. The regular simple workflows are quite easy and straightforward, but the moment you want to do something complex, it is almost impossible for one of our employees to work on it."
"It's not as user-friendly as a solution such as UiPath, which is really easy to use."
"There should be a comprehensive or enterprise level of application to provide the cognitive AI, and there should be orchestration so that I can control all the robots on one station. The other tools are currently providing these features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution prices are expensive. It would be more beneficial for customers to lower the pricing."
"Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than Blue Prism and UiPath in terms of cost."
"The licensing is on a monthly basis."
"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."
"The pricing model could be simplified."
"It is too expensive and not worth the price."
"There is a license for this solution and it is on an annual basis. I am satisfied with the price."
"The pricing is fair."
"It is free with Office 365 subscription."
"Microsoft Power Automate is expensive. The full license is quite expensive."
"The license cost could be better."
"When we purchase the Microsoft Dynamics license, the Power Automate license is often free, albeit with some limitations, such as a certain number of transactions per user."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being expensive because there are charges for additional plug-ins."
"Licensing is on an annual basis."
"We are using the free version of Power Automate."
"Microsoft Power Automate is part of our Office 365 package, there are no additional licensing costs."
