Senior Rpa Consultant at a computer software company with 51-200 employees
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

"Overall, we've been happy with the solution."
"Productivity increased far more than thirty percent."
"The entire backend system structure is something that I found really valuable."
"BotFarm has been working perfectly fine with our business model. Its scalability is the most valuable feature. We can easily scale out bots on a need basis. Portability is another valuable feature. We work with different payment systems like Visa and MasterCard and have bots for them. Because of BotFarm, we are able to reuse these bots."
"The most valuable features are the portals for extracting data from PDF files, appending data to SAP, automating the SAP, downloading reports, and mapping and creating the reports accordingly to your requirements."
"Overall, this is a pretty good product and nobody else in the market is providing RPA at this level."
"Last year I faced a problem and, subsequently, raised a ticket, and the support team is great and they helped me to resolve the issue within three or four days."
"The system is stable and very little maintenance is required, assuming the bots process is perfectly designed."
"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."
"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."
"The deployment of NICE Robotic Automation is easy."
"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 is easy to deploy because the installation packages are very simple and it doesn't require any maintenance."
"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."
 

Cons

"It should be easier to create an environment for bots to operate in. There should be more support for developing in environments such as Citrix and Linux."
"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 implementation isn't straightforward. It's a bit complex in terms of deployment as there are a lot of settings you need to handle."
"BotFarm newer version has been difficult to install, we have been in contact with the support on this matter."
"The only challenge that we have faced with BotFarm is that there is no continuous deployment."
"The OCR command needs to improve. This feature is used to convert the extracted data from an image file and 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 deployment could be made a little bit easier."
"The user experience could be made a little better with this solution."
"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."
"Its connectivity with other applications should be improved. In the version that I was using, it would just stop interacting with the other application."
"It is a bit clunky; that is the polite way to put it."
"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."
"The solution is not as intuitive as it could be and integrating took a lot of time."
"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing model could be simplified."
"The starter price is free."
"We are on an annual license for the solution and is priced well."
"The solution prices are expensive. It would be more beneficial for customers to lower the pricing."
"I am very happy with the pricing."
"The licensing is on a monthly basis."
"Pricing for this solution can be better."
"Licenses are paid on a yearly basis and the cost is quite high."
"As per my understanding, UiPath has a much lesser cost than NICE, but I am not sure."
