Rajneesh Prajapati - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Harish G V - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior RPA Developer at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
Quicker compared to other bots but not very user-friendly
There is a need for NICE to be more user-friendly. It should be designed in such a way that any developer can easily develop bots. For instance, Power Automate provides a good example of a user-friendly design that NICE can learn from. Moreover, in terms of documentation, there is very little available for NICE, making it challenging to implement the bots. So, documentation should be improved as well. There are a lot of additional features that could be included in NICE. As the NICE Robotic Automation claims, it is a low-code solution, but that is not entirely true. They need to concentrate on the prerequisites and building blocks. There should be more options available internally that are easy to use and well-developed.

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 best aspect is the UI, as it is very user-friendly."
"There is at least a five or ten times reduction in the amount of time, and more people are free to do something else."
"Productivity increased far more than thirty percent."
"From a solution standpoint, screen capture and tight integration with Outlook are valuable features."
"Now, we have standardized responses, and our customers are getting better, error-free, and on-time responses."
"BotFarm is an easy solution to use and the interface is better than older versions."
"The most important feature of BotFarm is web automation."
"It is a kind of desktop automation. Its licensing model is a little bit different. It tends to be individual automation specific to a role. It excels at that."
"Robotic Automation has saved us time and money by moving our processes away from manual work."
"The deployment of NICE Robotic Automation is easy."
"Provides good automation features."
"Through interfaces called Callout (created with HTML code) it is possible to create a strong interactivity with the user. These interfaces can be extremely dynamic in relation to the behavior of a local or remote robotic flow."
"NICE is one of the only vendors that does attended and unattended out-of-the-box. Using the unattended processes we've been able to build a "feature library." We break each process down into workable chunks that we can save into a big library. The next time we come to automate a task, we already have chunks of that automation built."
"It is a kind of desktop automation; its licensing model is a little bit different, and it tends to be individual automation specific to a role, and it excels at that."
"It is easy to deploy. To do the automation in NICE, you really need to use your programming expertise. There are no inbuilt features in it, and you have to create all the required features, which can be very interesting for a programmer."
 

Cons

"From the holistic standpoint of the product offering, there are a lot of things that need to be done."
"The OCR command needs to improve. This feature is used to convert the extracted data from an image file. 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 data loss was rated as a nine and the data accuracy was a massive decrease and was up to 80%."
"The pricing of this product could be better."
"When somebody is just learning this product it can be difficult for them to understand, so improvements to the user interface would be helpful."
"The discovery suite that they just acquired could be included."
"The pricing of this product could be better."
"The solution can improve the accuracy of hand-written data reading"
"Sometimes I feel like it doesn't work properly and we are not able to provide the dexterity needed."
"Its connectivity with other applications should be improved. In the version that I was using, it would just stop interacting with the other application. Its graphical interface should also be improved. It should have a user-friendly interface. Sometimes, people find it very difficult to understand. One of the obstacles that I faced while programming was that if I needed any kind of help, there wasn't much content on the internet. It can be very difficult to find a solution for a particular issue."
"The solution is not as intuitive as it could be and integrating took a lot of time."
"We haven't found it to be as powerful as some of the other platforms. From a true RPA perspective, it is pretty far behind some of the other solutions."
"The one thing I'd like to see, and NICE is already heavily investing in it, is improvement in the user interface itself. They call it the Designer and it's what the developers use. It is a bit clunky; that is the polite way to put it. I'd like to see it be a bit more user-friendly, a bit more intuitive, and to move to something a bit more web-based..."
"Its connectivity with other applications should be improved. In the version that I was using, it would just stop interacting with the other application."
"[During the upgrade] any issues, where it couldn't remotely connect to upgrade, I needed the floor plan so I could go to that PC and have a look at it. Often it was either that the PC was switched off or had a bug or some other application needed to be reset."
"The solution is not as intuitive as it could be and the integration took a lot of time."
"There is a need for NICE robotics to be more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think payment can vary but it's a re-occurring fee that needs to be paid every year."
"I am very happy with the pricing."
"Licenses are paid on a yearly basis and the cost is quite high."
"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."
"The licensing is on a monthly basis."
"The solution prices are expensive. It would be more beneficial for customers to lower the pricing."
"The pricing is fair."
"There is a license for this solution and it is on an annual basis. I am satisfied with the price."
"As per my understanding, UiPath has a much lesser cost than NICE, but I am not sure."
