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.

"The most valuable features are PDF extraction and emailing."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the Excel automation and support for SharePoint."
"The solution has been very user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Power Automate are user-friendliness and low coding functionality."
"The most valuable feature is that it easily integrates with other Microsoft products, so it has multiple connectors. You can create solutions that connect to Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, and OneDrive."
"The best features of Microsoft Power Automate are its ability to switch from one app to another without user interaction, so you can automate a task, take data from one source, process it, and then output it in another format or have it as an input for another app, and also to transform data and have that done with minimal human interaction."
"Its ease of use is most valuable. A lot of the bulk functionality is done either through standalone or custom connectors and standard API processes."
"The feature most useful for integrating different applications is its ability to create flows. Specifically, we use flows to integrate with finance and operations."
"I believe document reading has been beneficial when dealing with Microsoft."
"I have found the scheduling and email notifications features to very good compared to other RPA tools I have used."

Cons

"The image processing capabilities definitely need to be improved."

"The licensing schemes could be more competitive. They need to be much more flexible in their pricing."
"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 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 issue lies more in how you learn the solution. The information is very generalized. It could be extremely useful to have more specific information about how to use various features within the platform."
"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."
"We haven't gone into depth to explore the integration with AI, so I am not really sure."
"When it comes to cloud computing, there are many limitations when dealing with large amounts of data."
"The speed of the application could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing for this solution can be better."
"Licenses are paid on a yearly basis and the cost is quite high."
"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."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing two to three out of ten."
"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."
"Its licensing is flexible."
"There should be increased transparency about which features attend the pricing."
"The free version is quite good."
"I believe one of the advantages of this device is its low cost."
"It's more fragmented licensing, where every little thing that you add, you get an extra license cost."
"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."
