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

"The solution seems to offer high stability. We haven't seen any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze."
"The most valuable features I have found to be the screen scraping and the integration with third-party solutions."
"I use it in my client project to extract data and communicate it for business purposes."
"The solution has been very user-friendly."
"BotFarm is an easy solution to use and the interface is better than older versions."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which helps to provide a good user experience."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the rapid deployment of multiple bots."
"Third-party integrations with third-party applications are quite easy."
"Very reasonably priced."
"Its integration with SharePoint and Outlook is the most valuable. I found it very easy to use. I could do everything that I wanted very quickly, and I didn't have any complications at all. I never had a problem in using Microsoft Power Automate."
"Microsoft Power Automate is an easy-to-understand solution."
"Instead of manually triggering payments through the website, everything was done through robotic process automation (RPA), saving us a lot of time."
"From my personal experience of using Microsoft Power Automate, I think that the automatic document processing feature is helpful for many organizations in streamlining administrative processes. It is a very good feature. It has helped many enterprises to process documents without spending much time on them."
"The RPA robotic process automation is a good feature. We can make a flow within a flow. We just made a UI flow. The flow is to run every day so far it's been quite helpful."
"The solution helps automate manual tasks and interacts with multiple applications."
 

Cons

"The licensing schemes could be more competitive. They need to be much more flexible in their pricing."
"The deployment could be made a little bit easier."
"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 stability needs to be improved."
"I would definitely be wanting to see OCR features for improving the solution."
"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."
"The image processing capabilities definitely need to be improved."
"The OCR tool, the optical character recognition tool, could be more efficient."
"We find the solution to be not that user-friendly, and might be using the older version, which really did not have a lot of features, so my review is mostly based on the older version."
"They've already improved it, but I guess a testing suite would be nice to be able to test your automations in real time."
"It would be great if you could integrate outside of Microsoft environments."
"When you try to create a flow or work on the flow in Microsoft Power Automate you cannot undo changes. There are no options to edit or, undo an action. This feature would be useful. The editing option within the flow can be enhanced."
"There should be more transparency when it comes to which features accompany the pricing, as there appear to be hidden features of which I am not aware."
"There is a limitation in setting up loops, where it does not support multiple conditions."
"They can provide a deeper level of feedback about running processes. When I compare it to Blue Prism, the control room has slightly less information about the running processes and possible errors. I'm not a pro, so I am not entirely sure if this is a core feature of the product or if it is because of the way our partners have developed it or set it up."
"Their OCR capabilities are not as evolved as the other tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fair."
"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."
"I think payment can vary but it's a re-occurring fee that needs to be paid every year."
"Our licensing costs are approximately $3,000 USD annually."
"The starter price is free."
"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."
"The product is slightly expensive"
"We pay approximately $15,000 USD per year."
"The price is right. If you have Office 365 It's included."
"The licensing price should be more cost-effective."
"It's more fragmented licensing, where every little thing that you add, you get an extra license cost."
"I give the cost a three out of ten."
"Currently, we are using the free license for testing. After everything is done, we'll buy the license."
"I don't deal with the financial side. I know that we pay for a per-user license. It is probably less than $20 a user, but I am not sure about the exact figures."
"With our Microsoft Office 365 license, we are able to use Microsoft Power Automate."
"There should be increased transparency about which features attend the pricing."
