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

"BotFarm is an easy solution to use and the interface is better than older versions."
"The solution is very stable. We don't have issues with bugs or glitches."
"The most valuable feature is the rapid deployment of multiple bots."
"From a solution standpoint, screen capture and tight integration with Outlook are valuable features."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The system is stable and very little maintenance is required, assuming the bots process is perfectly designed."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which helps to provide a good user experience."
"The solution has been very user-friendly."
"So far, the tech support has provided me with good enough support and knowledge."
"Power Automate is not complex and is very easy-to-use in deploying most development projects."
"The solution is pretty customizable. Even big automation tasks are done rather simply."
"Overall, I would give Microsoft Power Automate a nine out of ten."
"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 approval feature is the most important feature. We also use the flow history feature. It is a very useful product as compared to other products. We can automate easily when a list is updated. We can also handle approval-related issues and integrate it with emails."
"Microsoft Power Automate is very easy to use."
"The most advantageous aspect of the solution is its cloud capabilities."
 

Cons

"The stability needs to be improved."
"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 machine learning needs to be improved so that they perform better in terms of predictive analysis and sentiment analysis."
"The pricing of this product could be better."
"The solution can improve the accuracy of hand-written data reading"
"We do have some troubles with the internal software commands, but we have been troubleshooting this bug to fix it."
"The tool must execute remedial actions to resolve problems before they cause significant incidents."
"The image processing capabilities definitely need to be improved."
"Execution of workflows could be improved."
"In an upcoming release, the exception handling mechanism could improve. The issue that we are facing is whenever there is a failure in any of the middle execution and if you wanted to navigate it to the end of the last line of execution, we do not have this feature available. If we had this feature it would make it even more stable."
"Inability to use a lot of connectors without having a premium license."
"Things need to be improved with respect to RPA kinds of solutions."
"I would like to see better data integration with different sources."
"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."
"Microsoft Power Automate could improve by offering recurring execution on the desktop."
"Some automation features on some programs did not work smoothly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is too expensive and not worth the price."
"I think payment can vary but it's a re-occurring fee that needs to be paid every year."
"The starter price is free."
"I am very happy with the pricing."
"Licenses are paid on a yearly basis and the cost is quite high."
"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."
"Our licensing costs are approximately $3,000 USD annually."
"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."
"Due to the pricing model, the solution is more convenient than any other tools."
"This is a cost-effective RPA solution."
"Initially, we had a Microsoft account for Office 365. Later, we discovered that our license included access to Power Automate at no additional cost. There was a small fee for additional features, but it was negligible compared to the benefits. There are not any additional fees required to use the solution."
"The pricing of this solution is very good and for me, it's the best option there is."
"It has a cost-effective pricing model compared to competitors."
"The solution is free with Microsoft 365."
"It comes with the Microsoft suite. I'd rate it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."
"It costs us nothing because we use it on the built-in cost that is a part of our existing license for 365. To use it more extensively, there are different pricing models. Its licensing is complex. It is complex to evaluate the cost in advance. As a result, people don't use it because they don't know what overall cost they are going to incur. There are too many criteria to figure out how much it is going to cost you to use the product to its full extent. Its licensing model should be improved, and the pricing should be more visible and transparent."
