We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The initial setup is straightforward.""Automation Anywhere provides a very flexible UI.""What I like most about BotFarm is that it's one of the leading RPA products in the market. Very few products focus on robotics today, so I like that BotFarm offers a lot in terms of what general customers expect it to do.""The solution is easy to use and easy to apply.""They recently released the newest version that has a good program flow, quality, and blueprints that are all good improvements to the automation. They also have good integration with SAP.""The most valuable feature is the rapid deployment of multiple 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.""The solution seems to offer high stability. We haven't seen any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze."

"The most valuable feature of SAP Contextor is that everyone is in one place in the program that I need.""The initial setup of SAP Contextor is easy.""It is remarkably easy to configure and code, and it doesn't require an extensive technical background or coding expertise.""Scalability is fine. It is pretty nice.""Most of the details are already in the help portal and SAP notes are available. It is well documented as part of the product support.""Contextor is a good solution for a Citrix environment. It's the first with this tool. Other tools provide the same functionality, but not with the Citrix environment.""The standout features of SAP Intelligent RPA are its flexibility and integration capabilities."

Cons
"The only challenge that we have faced with BotFarm is that there is no continuous deployment. The whole world is moving to the DevOps model, but BotFarm is still not on the DevOps model. It should have integration with the DevOps model. The migration of the bots or bots pipeline is currently purely manual.""I have called customer service three times and the experience has not been good. They do not offer 24/7 support, which forces us to wait till the next working day to solve a problem.""The OCR tool, the optical character recognition tool, could be more efficient.""The CL command poses an issue during the process of data conversion, accuracy, data loss and the assessment of certain data as false.""The deployment could be simplified.""We do have some troubles with the internal software commands, but we have been troubleshooting this bug to fix it.""An area for improvement in BotFarm is that the communication between the Control Room and the Bot Client Missions isn't utilized well. There's also the issue with PCI DSS compliance or certain regulations that require a set of configurations that are not fully supported by BotFarm. The product should be certified or designed according to the required regulations in the finance industry to make it better.""The dashboard needs improvement. For Bot Farm, the visualization is not that good compared to the main Automation Anywhere dashboard."

More BotFarm Cons →

"I would like to see a better capacity for unstructured data, for example, PDF, or text within images.""One way SAP Intelligent RPA could improve is by integrating built-in DI services for document processing.""SAP Contextor could improve by automating some processes.""For potential features or improvements, one aspect I would suggest enhancing is the flexibility of the extraction process.""The initial setup is of medium complexity. It is neither too hard nor too simple. You need some background in SAP and an understanding of it.""There should be more of an error, like a proper error feature, in future releases. Sometimes, we don't understand why that automation is not learning what, like, where it is stuck, or what is the reason like, or what is the criteria we are missing to add. So a proper error message would be helpful.""I found that the SAP scripting of a program is easier than SAP Contextor."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Akshay P., Associate Systems Analyst at NSEiT Limited, relates, “It is very easy, simple. You're working on a notepad, and you don't need to know programming to work on this. The dashboards are quite good, especially on the latest versions.”

    A Digital Strategy Manager at an energy/utilities company shares, “The scalability is the solution's most valuable aspect. The reason Bot Farm is used is to have only one license available whenever you have a spike in the transactions. That is a core feature. That is something which we are using to the maximum. It's working well due to the fact that the solution use case is quite structured.”

    A Senior RPA Developer at a tech services company tells us, “The solution is great to automate any repetitive tasks, which you might do on a daily basis. For example, the organization may need to be generating invoices or extracting data from PDF files daily. It is very versatile in what you can automate. This has improved my organization by cutting down on repetitive tasks that now can be automated.”
