Featured Reviews

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 most valuable features I have found to be the screen scraping and the integration with third-party solutions."
"The entire backend system structure is something that I found really valuable."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"There are not many challenges when setting up this solution, and there is a good amount of documentation to go with it."
"Automation Anywhere provides a very flexible UI."
"The solution is very stable. We don't have issues with bugs or glitches."
"One of the most valuable features is the solution's simple automation regarding object cloning and strings variables."
"Automation Anywhere has good document extraction features where it can learn patterns."
"Provides good automation features."
"Robotic Automation has saved us time and money by moving our processes away from manual work."
"It is easy to deploy because the installation packages are very simple and it doesn't require any maintenance."
"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."
"What we've done with the RTI client is that we've brought it into a bit more of a 21st-century feel. Our agents have the ability to move around when they want, click into stuff. They use it according to how their conversations go with the customer."
"It resulted in over £1,000,000 in savings within that first month."
"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 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."
 

Cons

"The CL command poses an issue during the process of data conversion, accuracy, data loss and the assessment of certain data as false."
"Normally we need to monitor the solution using an AWS console and the control room. We would like to have a standardized dashboard to see all the information in one place."
"The CL command poses an issue during the process of data conversion, accuracy, data loss and the assessment of certain data as false."
"Although I like the OCR technology, it could still be further improved."
"The solution automation is incapable of interacting with our Pega software application development. It is based on the nested table concept and it is unable to read these tables."
"BotFarm newer version has been difficult to install, we have been in contact with the support on this matter."
"The stability needs to be improved."
"The solution automation is incapable of interacting with our Pega software application development. It is based on the nested table concept and it is unable to read these tables. Several projects have been put on hold because of that."
"There are a few areas for improvement in the installation phase"
"There is a need for NICE robotics to be more user-friendly."
"[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."
"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..."
"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. It has emerged as a more desktop automation kind of tool, but it lacks a lot of enterprise features. It is not really a true RPA because of its licensing, which is kind of user-initiated. It would be nice it can be deployed at a more enterprise licensing model versus a user-based model. It didn't have autonomous automation so far, and they have just released this feature. They have kind of hodgepodged a bunch of products together to get there, but it is not as seamless as other solutions."
"Its connectivity with other applications should be improved. In the version that I was using, it would just stop interacting with the other application."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is slightly expensive"
"The pricing model could be simplified."
"Pricing for this solution can be better."
"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."
"There is a license for this solution and it is on an annual basis. I am satisfied with the price."
"Licenses are paid on a yearly basis and the cost is quite high."
"We pay approximately $15,000 USD per year."
"I am very happy with the pricing."
"As per my understanding, UiPath has a much lesser cost than NICE, but I am not sure."
