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.

Helps streamline operations, the error handling capability is fairly good, and integrations are easy
Keyword-driven automation has been beneficial in streamlining operations. The error handling capability of Python RPA is fairly good in managing exceptions. I rate it a seven out of ten. We've integrated it with Jenkins and with our release pipeline. It was fairly easy. We had no issues with integration that we couldn’t deal with. The dashboard is simple. We export it to Excel or Power BI and make it look pretty. For our initial use, the dashboard is okay.

"The machine learning needs to be improved so that they perform better in terms of predictive analysis and sentiment analysis."
"Although I like the OCR technology, it could still be further improved."
"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 dashboard needs improvement. For Bot Farm, the visualization is not that good compared to the main Automation Anywhere dashboard."
"The OCR tool, the optical character recognition tool, could be more efficient."
"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."
"Support could be improved."
"It can be expensive to deploy a lot of models in the cloud, especially if there are large amounts of data."
